GENIOX General Terms & Conditions
Version: 2.2
Date: February 22, 2023
These General Terms & Conditions form part of the Agreement between you and GENIOX and/or the relevant Affiliate providing the particular Service. They may be added to or changed by Service Specific Terms & Conditions for certain of our products and services, which you may use.
1 Eligibility for Services
For business customers, you must be a company, business, partnership, or organization incorporated or registered with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of the Netherlands (Chamber of Commerce) or such equivalent authority in your country of incorporation or registration.
We may decline acceptance of your application at our discretion. We will be deemed to have accepted your application if we have made available the Services to you regardless of any written acceptance, confirmation, or agreement from us to you or your actual use of the Services.
2 Paying for the Services
You may have to pay for certain Services. For the purposes of this paragraph 2, "Services" shall be deemed to include services by third parties on whose behalf we are billing. You are liable for the Charges for such Services you have purchased, applied for and incurred under your account whether the Services are used by you or someone else (regardless whether such use was with your express consent and/or knowledge or otherwise). You may pay through Bank, GIRO, your credit card or any other third party designated by us. Any change/ termination in the method of payment will only be effected from the next billing cycle onwards.
2.1 Charges
Charges will be calculated based on our records or, where applicable, records supplied to us by another Service Provider. You will not be required to pay for any Service that you did not subscribe for.
2.2 Recurring Charges
Recurring Charges apply for the full period to which the Charges relate. Charges incurred at the end of a billing cycle may be reflected in your next bill for the next billing cycle.
2.3 Billing
We will send you a bill at monthly intervals or more frequently if your usage exceeds or may exceed a preset limit. However, we may send you bills at such intervals as we deem appropriate. All Charges are due as soon as the bill is issued. Each bill must be settled by the payment date set out in it. Unless otherwise stated in the bill or elsewhere, all Charges are payable in Euro. In the absence of fraud or manifest error, subject to paragraph 2.4 below, we may rely on each bill as conclusive evidence against you of the accuracy, completeness and truth of all matters stated in it. You are responsible for paying all Charges without any counterclaim, deduction, set off or withholding.
2.4 Price List
GENIOX reserves the right to change the Price List without prior written notice. Any change to the Price List will become effective on the date indicated in the Price List or if no such date is indicated, upon the earliest of (i) it being published on GENIOX’s Platform or website or (ii) it otherwise being provided by GENIOX or its Affiliates to the Partner. The Price List that was effective when Partner uses the GENIOX services for the relevant GENIOX IMSI in the relevant GENIOX zone, country or network will apply.
2.5 Disputing
If you wish to reasonably dispute any amount in your bill, you can withhold payment for such disputed amounts if you inform us in writing prior to the payment date shown on your bill. Otherwise, you are liable to pay us all Charges. We will investigate any such dispute and provide a written response to you within 30 days from the day you notify us of such a dispute. If the dispute is resolved in our favour, you must pay us the disputed amount and all costs incurred in recovering the amount. We may charge you interest on the outstanding amount at 1.5% per month from the date the outstanding amount was due and payable and calculated on a daily basis or at such other rates as we may prescribe from time to time. Alternatively, we may charge you the standard late payment fee as we may prescribe from time to time. If we agree there is a mistake in your bill, we will adjust your next bill accordingly. If you have paid a bill for a post-paid Service and subsequently choose to contest it, any such dispute must be raised by you in writing to us not later than 3 months from the date of that bill. If you have paid for a bill for a pre-paid Service and subsequently choose to contest it, any dispute must be raised by you in writing to us not later than 6 months from the date of your payment.
2.6 Payment method
We may, at our discretion, allow certain Services to be paid through Bank, GIRO, your credit, or debit card. Where you have chosen this method of payment, you must inform us immediately if your credit or debit card is lost, stolen, expired, or terminated or if you want to terminate this method of payment. If we are unable to make the deduction or settlement with your bank or card company, we will not be liable to you in any way, and you must make payment for outstanding amounts in cash, cheque or bank draft immediately together with any administrative fees for the failed transaction. We may, at our discretion, terminate any such recurring method of payment at any time.
2.7 Taxes
You are responsible for all Taxes. If you are required under any law to deduct or withhold any sum as Taxes imposed on any amount payable to us, the amount payable to us must be increased by such amount necessary to ensure that we will receive a net amount equal to the amount which we would have received in the absence of any such deduction or withholding.
2.8 Late and/or overdue payment
If you are late in paying or do not pay a bill for any Service, we may, at our discretion, suspend, restrict, or terminate any of the Services that we provide to you and charge you administrative fees and/or late payment interest or fee as set out in paragraph 2.4 above. In addition, we may, at our discretion, also require you to pay on demand all sums due under any other agreements or accounts you have with us. If we claim against you for failing to pay any bill, you are liable for all our legal, administrative, and other costs.
2.9 Payment allocation
If you use more than one of our Services, you shall specify which Service(s) under your bill you are making payment for. In the event you have failed to identify the Service(s) for which payment has been made, any payment you make may be applied or allocated by us towards any outstanding amount for any Service in such manner, priority, order, and proportion as we deem appropriate. If you have more than one account with us, we may transfer any credit balance under one account to settle outstanding amounts due under another account.
2.10 Representation
We may, at our discretion, authorise our Affiliates to issue bills and collect payment of Charges and moneys on our behalf.
3 Deposit
We may, at our discretion, require a deposit as security for the performance of your obligations to us. We may, at our discretion, require you to increase this deposit from time to time.
You cannot require us to apply this deposit in payment of any Charges. We may, at our discretion, use this deposit at any time as we deem appropriate to offset any outstanding Charges and any amounts due under any of your accounts with us.
Any remaining balance will be refunded to you without interest after this Agreement is terminated and you have paid all outstanding amounts due, accruing or payable to us.
A deposit does not relieve you from your obligations to pay any Charges, nor does it constitute a waiver of our rights to suspend, disconnect or terminate any Service due to non-payment.
4 Your Responsibilities
4.1 Account
You are responsible for the use of the Services under your account(s) and for any Content disseminated through your account(s).
4.2 3rd Party

GENIOX SIM cards can include multiple IMSIs (MultiIMSI Product) which can be selected to get services in different countries and networks. Every IMSI will have a different price per zone, country and network, which will be communicated in the Price List. GENIOX eSIM cards will be configured to automatically choose the correct IMSI in each zone, country and network following the agreed conditions and price per network with the Partner. GENIOX cannot be made liable in the event that a SIM does not attach ina zone or country to a network using the correct IMSI, since (i) different Mobile Equipment (devices) can overrule the configuration in the SIM (ii) the configuration can be manually overruled by the user using the configuration possibilities in the Mobile Equipment (Network Selection) or using the SIM Toolkit Application (GENIOX Subscription Manager) provided in the SIM. The Partner is required therefore to make sure that the correct IMSI communicated by GENIOX in every zone, country or network is used, otherwise the pricelists of the used IMSI will be applied and the Partner will be charged accordingly.
