The Customer may obtain an invoice by contacting KOLET customer service at [email protected].

5.4. Order date and supply of the paid Plan

The date of the Order is the date on which KOLET acknowledges online receipt of the Order, the date on which the Customer pays for the Plan on the Platform.

To access the Plan, the Customer must download the Kolet Application available on the App Store and Google Play Store.

If the eSIM card has not already been installed, the Customer must then install the eSIM directly so that the Data Plan can be configured in accordance with the Customer's Order. This installation operation requires a stable internet connection.

The service will be accessible immediately after successful installation of the eSIM card and activation in the destination country of the data plan associated with the eSIM card.

It is specified that the Customer must use the eSIM card on the device on which he has logged on.

The installed eSIM will remain on the Customer's device after the expiry of the validity period of the Plan indicated at the time of the Order.

At any time, the Customer can delete the eSIM in the settings of his device.

In the event of installation difficulties, the Customer is invited to contact KOLET in accordance with the procedures specified in article 14 of these GTC.

Each use of the Data Plan by the Customer will be rounded to the nearest megabyte.

Access to the service will terminate either at the end of the validity period of the Plan indicated at the time of the Order, or at the end of the total consumption of the Plan, whichever comes first.

It is specified that data not consumed before the expiry of a Plan is lost and is not refundable.

Before the expiry of the Plan or at the end of the validity period of the Plan ordered, the Customer may recharge and/or purchase a new Plan from the Site or on the Application.

In the event of loss, theft or change of device, KOLET will not reimburse the Customer for the Plan Order. By downloading the Kolet Application on a new device, the Customer will be able to continue to use the Plan from the Application after reinstalling an eSIM.

5.5. Repayment of non-activated plans

At the end of an Order, if the Customer has not installed his eSIM on his device, or if he has installed his eSIM but the Data Plan is not activated, he may obtain a full refund of his Order. Only the amount of the Order may be refunded.

The request for full reimbursement must be sent by e-mail to [email protected], within a maximum period of thirty (30) days from the Ordering of the Plan on the Site.

Beyond this period of thirty (30) days from the Ordering of the Plan on the Platform, the request for reimbursement may not be taken into account by KOLET.

On receipt of the request for reimbursement, KOLET will have five (5) working days to check the eligibility of the request and confirm the reimbursement to the Customer.

Reimbursement will be made within a maximum of thirty (30) days, using the same means of payment as that used for the Order.

A partial refund of the Order may be considered in the event that the Plan has been activated but the data remains unused (i.e. less than 1% of data consumed).

Article 6. Right of withdrawal

In principle, distance selling contracts entitle the consumer to a right of withdrawal within fourteen (14) days of conclusion of the contract. However, there are exceptions to this principle, provided for in article L.221-28 of the French Consumer Code, notably in the case of immediate services.

As prepaid eSIM service plans enabling customers to connect their device to the Internet are an immediate service, the customer expressly agrees to waive his right of withdrawal within the 14-day period, provided that use of the plan has begun before the 14-day period has expired, in accordance with article L.221-28-1 ° of the French Consumer Code.

Acceptance of the immediate commencement of the supply of the service and the express waiver of the right of withdrawal are formalized when the Order is validated.

Article 7. Payment

7.1. Payment methods

The Customer may pay for his Order online on the Site or on the Application according to the means of payment offered by KOLET, namely:

● Either by credit card (including ApplePay and GooglePay) ;

● Or via FlyingBlue + in accordance with the contractual conditions available here

To use a promotional code, the Customer must place an order on the Application.

When he/she chooses his/her payment method, the Customer will be redirected to a secure area corresponding to this choice in order to proceed with the payment.

KOLET takes all necessary measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of the data transmitted online within the framework of online payment on the Platform.

Article 8. Proof and archiving

Any contract concluded with a consumer for an amount greater than 120 euros including VAT will be archived by KOLET for a period of ten (10) years in accordance with article L. 213-1 of the French Consumer Code.

KOLET thus agrees to archive this information in order to monitor transactions and produce a copy of the contract at the Customer's request.

In the event of a dispute, KOLET will be able to prove that its electronic tracking system is reliable and that it guarantees the integrity of the transaction.

Article 9. Legal warranties

Apart from the commercial warranties that KOLET may offer, all Customers benefit from the legal warranties detailed in Appendix 1 hereof.

Article 10. Updates

For the purposes of this article, " Updates " means any Update or modification intended to maintain, adapt or develop the Plans offered, including security updates, whether or not such updates are necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service, i.e. the conformity of the Plans ordered.

10.1. Updates required to maintain the conformity of the Plans

KOLET undertakes to inform the Customer of the Updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the Plans and to ensure that the Customer receives them during the period that the Customer may legitimately expect, having regard to the type and purpose of the product and taking into account the circumstances and the nature of these GTC, in the case of a one-off supply operation or a series of separate supply operations.

KOLET will specify to the Customer, for each Update required, the availability of the Update, the procedures for its installation and the consequences in the event of failure to install by the Customer.

KOLET shall not be liable for any lack of compliance caused by the Customer's failure to install or improper installation of the Update, unless such failure to install results from KOLET's failure to provide the above information or from material deficiencies in the installation instructions.

10.2. Updates not necessary to maintain conformity of the Plans

The Customer is hereby informed that KOLET undertakes to inform the Customer of any Updates which are not necessary to maintain the conformity of the Plans, and which allow, for example, the improvement or modification of the Plans or adaptation to technical developments.

These Updates and the date of their entry into force will be the subject of prior information, provided in a clear and comprehensible manner, reasonably in advance and by e-mail (or on any other durable medium).

Unnecessary Updates are carried out at no additional cost to the Customer.

Any Customer may refuse the non-necessary Update in question or, where applicable, uninstall it at a later date if it has a negative impact on his/her access to, or use of, the Plans.

Unless the Update has only a minor impact on the Customer, or KOLET allows the Customer to keep the Plans without the unnecessary Update, and provided that the Plans remain compliant, as defined in Appendix 1 of the GTS, the Customer may terminate these GTS by operation of law and at no cost to the Customer. However, the Customer must do so within a maximum of thirty (30) days.

Termination of the GCS terminates the Customer's access to the Plans concerned.

Article 11. Responsibility

KOLET undertakes to do everything in its power to enable the Customer to use Kolet in the chosen destination country. The Customer is expressly informed that for the delivery of Plans, KOLET relies on local telecommunication operators in the destination chosen by the Customer. In this respect, KOLET ensures the activation of a telecommunication plan with a local operator, but cannot guarantee the quality of the connection in all the destination countries available on the Platform, since this availability depends on the said operators and not on KOLET. KOLET's role is limited to providing access to the services offered by local operators in order to use the Plans ordered on the Platform.

KOLET does not guarantee the conditions of network availability in the destination country chosen by the Customer.

KOLET may not be held liable in the event of non-execution or poor execution of contractual obligations attributable to the Customer, in particular when entering his/her Order.

KOLET may not be held liable in the event of errors made by the Customer when configuring the parameters of his/her device and in particular when these errors give rise to additional roaming costs with another Internet access provider other than KOLET.

The Customer accepts that the Plan will not be used to carry out a fraudulent operation. The Customer undertakes not to divert the services from their intended purpose, not to commit fraud and, more generally, not to undermine public order, and to comply with the laws and regulations in force. In the event of abnormal use of the Plan or illicit exploitation of the Plan, the Customer is solely responsible for damages and the consequences of any actions that may result. In this case, KOLET may be obliged to suspend use of the Plan and to initiate any procedure aimed at repairing the damage suffered.

It is also reminded that KOLET cannot be held responsible if the Customer's device is not eSIM compatible.

KOLET may not be held responsible, or considered as having failed to fulfil its obligations, for any delay or non-fulfilment of one of its obligations described in these GCS, when the cause of the delay or non-fulfilment is linked to a case of force majeure as defined by the jurisprudence of the French Courts and Tribunals.

It is further specified that KOLET does not control the websites that are directly or indirectly linked to the Platform. Consequently, KOLET excludes all liability for the information published there. Links to third-party websites are provided for information purposes only, and no guarantee is given as to their content.

Article 12. Force majeure

KOLET may not be held liable if the non-performance or delay in performance of any of its obligations described in these GTC is due to force majeure.

Force majeure in contractual matters occurs when an event beyond the debtor's control, which could not reasonably have been foreseen when the GTC were concluded and whose effects cannot be avoided by appropriate measures, prevents the debtor from fulfilling its obligation.

If the impediment is temporary, performance of the obligation is suspended unless the resulting delay justifies termination of the GCS. If the impediment is definitive, the GCS are cancelled ipso jure and the parties are released from their obligations under the conditions set out in articles 1351 and 1351-1 of the French Civil Code.

In the event of an event having the characteristics of force majeure, KOLET will endeavour to inform the Customer as soon as possible.

Article 13. Personal data

All consumers have the option of registering free of charge on the BLOCTEL telephone anti-solicitation list https://www.bloctel.gouv.fr/

In accordance with law no. 2020-901 of July 24, 2020 aimed at regulating telephone canvassing and combating fraudulent calls, any professional reserves the right to canvass a consumer registered on the telephone canvassing opposition list when the canvassing takes place as part of the performance of a current contract and is related to the subject of said contract, including when offering the consumer products or services related to or complementary to the subject of the current contract, or likely to improve its performance or quality.

The Customer is invited to consult KOLET's Privacy Policy, accessible here, which will provide further information on the protection of personal data, the processing carried out by KOLET and the procedures for exercising rights.

Article 14. Customer service - Complaints

- chat available on the Site or the Application; or

- Mail to the following address KOLET - 6 rue d'Armaille 75017 Paris

Article 15. Validity of the GTC

Any change in current legislation or regulations, or any decision by a competent court invalidating one or more clauses of these GTCS, shall not affect the validity of these GTCS. Any such modification or decision shall in no way authorize Customers to disregard these GSC.

Article 16. Modification of the GTC

These GCS apply to all Customers, for all Orders placed online, as long as the Platform is available online.

The GTC are dated precisely and may be modified and updated by KOLET at any time. The applicable GTC are those in force at the time of the Order.

Modifications to the GCS will not apply to Plans already purchased.

Article 17. General provisions

The fact that one of the Parties has not demanded the application of any clause of these GCS, whether on a permanent or temporary basis, may in no case be considered as a waiver of the said clause.

In the event of difficulty of interpretation between any of the titles appearing at the head of the clauses and any of the clauses, the titles will be declared non-existent.

Article 18. Jurisdiction and applicable law

THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER AND KOLET ARE GOVERNED BY FRENCH LAW.

IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE, THE FRENCH COURTS SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION.

However, prior to any recourse to an arbitral or state judge, the Customer is invited to contact the KOLET complaints department.

If no agreement is reached, or if the Customer justifies having previously attempted to resolve his/her dispute directly with KOLET by means of a written complaint, an optional mediation procedure will be proposed, conducted in a spirit of loyalty and good faith, with a view to reaching an amicable agreement in the event of any dispute relating to the present contract, including one concerning its validity.

In application of article L.616-1 of the French Consumer Code, KOLET also informs the consumer of the contact details of the consumer mediator to which he/she belongs.

Consumers may also use the European platform for online dispute resolution, accessible at the following address

The Party wishing to initiate the mediation process must first inform the other Party by registered letter with acknowledgement of receipt, indicating the elements of the dispute.

Since mediation is not compulsory, either Party may withdraw from the process at any time.

IN THE EVENT THAT MEDIATION FAILS OR IS NOT ENVISAGED, THE DISPUTE WHICH MAY HAVE GIVEN RISE TO MEDIATION WILL BE REFERRED TO THE COMPETENT COURT DESIGNATED ABOVE.


APPENDIX 1 - LEGAL WARRANTIES

Apart from the commercial guarantees that KOLET may offer, all Customers benefit from "legal" guarantees, for all Plans ordered, which are detailed below, in accordance with article L221-5 of the French Consumer Code:

The consumer has a period of two years from the date of supply of the digital content or service to obtain the implementation of the legal guarantee of conformity in the event of the appearance of a defect in conformity. During a period of one year from the date of supply, the consumer is only required to establish the existence of the lack of conformity, and not the date of its appearance.

The legal warranty of conformity includes the obligation to provide all updates necessary to maintain the conformity of the digital content or service.

The legal warranty of conformity entitles the consumer to have the digital content or service brought into conformity without undue delay following his request, at no cost and with no major inconvenience to him.

The consumer may obtain a price reduction by keeping the digital content or digital service, or he may terminate the contract by obtaining a full refund in exchange for relinquishing the digital content or digital service, if :

1° The professional refuses to bring the digital content or service into compliance;

2° The compliance of the digital content or service is unjustifiably delayed;

3° The digital content or service cannot be brought into conformity without imposing costs on the consumer;

4° Bringing the digital content or service into conformity causes major inconvenience to the consumer;

5° The non-conformity of the digital content or service persists despite the professional's unsuccessful attempt to bring it into conformity.

The consumer is also entitled to a reduction in price or rescission of the contract where the lack of conformity is so serious as to justify immediate reduction in price or rescission of the contract. In such cases, the consumer is not obliged to ask for the digital content or service to be brought into conformity beforehand.

In cases where the lack of conformity is minor, the consumer is entitled to cancel the contract only if the contract does not provide for payment of a price.

Any period of unavailability of the digital content or service for the purpose of bringing it back into conformity suspends the remaining warranty period until such time as the digital content or service is once again brought into conformity.

The rights mentioned above result from the application of articles L. 224-25-1 to L. 224-25-31 of the French Consumer Code.

Any professional who obstructs the implementation of the legal warranty of conformity in bad faith is liable to a civil fine of up to 300,000 euros, which may be increased to 10% of average annual sales (article L. 242-18-1 of the French Consumer Code).

Consumers are also covered by the legal warranty for hidden defects under articles 1641 to 1649 of the French Civil Code, for a period of two years from the discovery of the defect. This warranty entitles the consumer to a price reduction if the digital content or service is retained, or to a full refund in exchange for renunciation of the digital content or service.
