Service delivery of Mobile data is dependent on the MTN signal availability and demand for data services in any particular area. HostworX does not warrant or guarantee service for any specific areas, whilst every effort will be made to give clients an indication of possible service (via the MTN Coverage Map). HostworX accepts no liability should the aforementioned map differ to actual data service experienced.

SIM cards provided by HostworX are not automatically LTE enabled. LTE capable HostworX Mobile SIMS can be activated for LTE services by means of our support. Activation of LTE on the SIM is within 72 hours of the request. Clients using their own MTN SIM for HostworX Mobile Data will need to request the activation of LTE with MTN directly.

An LTE capable device is also required in order to obtain LTE speeds.

HostworX reserves the right to limit the quantity of purchases made. Data and devices may only be purchased via credit card or debit order, EFT. Stop Orders and Cash Deposits are not accepted. Your order will be activated once payment has been cleared.

All purchases of data are prorated on the day of purchase, both the data allocation and price are prorated. Should delivery of your SIM occur the month after it was purchased the data allocated on the SIM will be calculated from the date of purchase to the last day of the month it was purchased in.

Credit Card payments are cleared within 24 hours, Debit Order payments can take up to 10 working days to clear, EFT can be cleared in 24hrs.. Your order will be activated on the first working day of your payment being cleared.

Should you not use all of your purchased data within a month (1st to last day of each month); the unused data will carry over to the following month for a period of 3 months. As your data is exhausted the unused data from the oldest months accumulated data will be added to your service.

FOR EXAMPLE

You have not used up all your data for June, July and August. In September you run out of data, we will automatically allocate the unused data from June to your data service first. If you deplete this data too, we will automatically allocate the unused data from July and if you deplete this, we will automatically allocate the data from August. If you reach the end of September and you only needed to use your rollover data from June and July, the unused data from August will be available to use in October.

Data Rollover is only applicable to services which are paid up to date. If your debit order, credit card payment, EFT fails for any reason all data that has accumulated will fall away and will not be re-allocated on payment for the service.

Technical support is provided for the setting up of the APN on the client's device. HostworX does not offer support on applications or set-up of device applications such as email.

Clients are able to use HostworX Mobile Data on their existing contract MTN sim (not available on prepaid MTN sim's). The client's use of their existing MTN contract sim is subject to the same Terms and Conditions as all other HostworX Mobile Data products and services.

Mobile data clients are able to top up their data should they exhaust it at any time during the month. This top-up can be done via the billing system or Mobile Control Panel. Data that has over run the purchased data total will be deducted from your next top-up. Example, 500mb purchased, 550mb used before capping takes place, top-up with 500mb, 450mb will be allocated.

Promotional data offered is only valid for the period selected or until the promotion ends. All mobile data offered on promotion will revert back to the original purchase (excluding any free data or price reduction offered during the promotion) once the promotion has ended or period selected expires. If the client does not select a promotional or free data package on purchase the promotional free data will not be applied. Should the free data service be changed permanently (service change) to a non-promotional/different service/size the free data will fall away and the new service will be charged at full price. The free data can be topped up at the non-promotional price at any time. Promotional data only applies to clients who are on a non-promotional package.

If a data product is cancelled the SIM card linked to the product including any unused data will be cancelled on the requested date. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the HostworX Mobile Data service will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Note : Once cancellation of the SIM has taken place it cannot be reactivated.

Should we not receive payment for data purchased the data together with the SIM provided will be cancelled. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the HostworX Mobile Data service will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Once the SIM has been cancelled it cannot be reactivated.

All Devices are only available with the purchase of data and are not sold separately. HostworX will provide an HostworX Mobile SIM that is compliant with the device purchased unless Existing MTN SIM Card is selected on purchase.

HostworX has a 5 business day device return policy from date of purchase. Units returned must be returned as shipped (i.e same cosmetic condition and all shipped packaging, parts and accessories included) to be eligible for refund or exchange.

HostworX will NOT arrange collection of units for exchange or return (or cover related costs). The client will be responsible for arranging for the unit to be delivered to HostworX. This will in no way impact the continued warranty provisions, and only relates to courier charges and logistics.

All Mobile Devices are covered by a product specific warranty as per the manufacturer's warranty, for the repair or replacement of faulty units. The warranty is limited to items covered by the manufacturer only.

The warranty does not cover any damage deemed to have been caused by the client's misuse or mistreatment of the product (including damage due to improper return shipping of the product for exchange or return). Using incorrect size SIM cards and any physical damage as a result, is deemed to be improper use or abuse of the product. This effectively voids the manufacturer's warranty and therefore will not be exchanged or returned. This further extends to the use of unapproved accessories or modifications which effectively void the warranty on the product. In such circumstances, HostworX will not be liable to repair or replace any such devices and no further correspondence will be entered into once the device is deemed to be out of warranty.

Failure to abide by HostworX's policy can result in deductions to the claimed refund or rejection of claims for refund or exchange.
