2. When your Service Agreement begins
2.1 Your Service Agreement is contained in these Terms & Conditions and the call rates published from time to time by us (click here for up to date information on call rates).
2.2 Your order or request for a SIM Card and, where applicable, a mobile handset is an offer to receive the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly service from us. Nothing that we do or say will amount to any acceptance of your offer until we despatch the SIM Card to you, in the case of sales via www.tescomobile.com or, in the case of in-store sales, provide the SIM Card, where applicable, the mobile handset to you, at which point a contract will be made between us. At any point up until then you may cancel your order or we may decline to supply the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly service to you.
2.3 Acceptance of your offer is subject to the successful completion of a credit check.
2.4 Monthly subscription charges for your tariff will start when the SIM Card is activated, For purchases in-store via a Phone Shop, your SIM Card will be activated at the point of purchase. For all other sales, activation instructions will be provided to you with your SIM Card.
2.5 For orders placed via www.tescomobile.com, your SIM Card will be despatched by first class post to the address specified by you. We do not currently offer tariffs that include a mobile handset via www.tescomobile.com.
2.6 Whilst we make every effort to despatch your SIM Card within 7 working days of the date of your online order, we will not be liable if we fail to do so in part or in full due to circumstances beyond our control.
2.7 For tariffs that include a mobile handset, you may only have one Tesco Mobile Pay monthly Service mobile handset per account. You may have up to five SIM Cards registered to each Tesco Mobile Pay monthly Service account. However, to ensure availability of our SIM Cards, customers are limited to ordering or purchasing a
maximum of five SIM Cards per transaction.
2.8 Where SIM Cards are despatched separately, our acceptance of the order in respect of each SIM Card takes place when each SIM Card is despatched.
2.9 If for any reason beyond our reasonable control, we are unable to supply the SIM Card, we will not be liable to you.
3. Cooling off period
3.1 If you change your mind after you have received your SIM Card (for purchases via http://www.tescomobile.com/) or after you have purchased a SIM Card and, where applicable, a mobile handset in-store, you can tell us that you would like to cancel anytime within 14 days and you will not incur any costs or penalties. However, this
right is limited, so please see Paragraph 3.3.
3.2 If you would like to cancel your Service Agreement during those 14 days please contact Tesco Mobile Customer Service for SIM Card only purchases. For mobile handset purchases, please return the mobile handset to the store where you originally purchased it. You must return the handset in its original condition together with its undamaged packaging and all of its components.
3.3 Cancellation will occur on the date that you notify us and we will refund any monthly tariff payments directly to your bank or credit card, depending on how you have set up your payment preference. Unfortunately, refunds will only be available in store for the purchase price of the mobile handset.
3.4 Your cooling-off period under this paragraph ends as soon as you start to use the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly service including, but not limited to making or receive calls, sending or receiving texts or accessing or receiving data. However, you will still be able to end your service agreement under paragraph 5 below.
3.5 If you cancel during the cooling off period, you do not need to return the SIM to us and, following disconnection from the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly service, you may use your SIM card to connect to the Tesco Mobile Pay as you go network.
4. Minimum Term, billing dates and changing tariff
4.1 This Service Agreement is usually subject to a minimum term, the period of which will be clearly explained to you before you offer to receive the Tesco Pay monthly Service (‘Minimum Term)’. The Minimum Term will commence on
activation of your SIM Card and, where applicable, your mobile handset. This will also be your Billing Date unless you request a different Billing Date in accordance with paragraph 4.4..
4.2 Where the Minimum Term is one month, a new Minimum Term of one month will start on the anniversary of your Billing Date each subsequent month unless you cancel your contract under paragraph 3 (Cooling-off period) or paragraph 5 (Ending this agreement).
4.3 Where the Minimum Term is greater than one month, this Service Agreement will continue on a monthly basis until you cancel your contract under paragraph 3 (Cooling-off period) or paragraph 5 (Ending this Service Agreement).
4.4 When you sign up to the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly Service you will be given an option to select a Billing Date. Your next monthly subscription payment will be charged on your chosen date, even if this is before your first month has run out. This may result in your first bill period being shorter than one month. In these circumstances, you will be permitted to roll over any inclusive minutes, texts or data from the first month until the end of your second month. The third and subsequent months will operate as usual. Your Minimum Term will be revised so that it will end on the relevant anniversary of your new Billing Date, but this will not have the effect of extending your Minimum Term.
4.5 If you change tariffs for any reason e.g. when upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused inclusive minutes, texts or data provided as part of your tariff will not be carried forward. If you move from a Tesco Mobile Pay monthly or Tesco Mobile Pay as you go tariff which is not currently available you will not be able to change back to your previous tariff.
4.6 Subject to paragraph 4.7, where you have notified us you wish to move to another Tesco Mobile Pay monthly tariff, unless we advise otherwise, your new tariff will commence on your next Billing Date.
4.7 If you change tariffs for any reason e.g. when upgrading or moving to a promotional offer, any unused inclusive minutes, texts or data provided as part of your tariff will not be carried forward. If you move from a Tesco Mobile Pay monthly or Tesco Mobile Pay as you go tariff which is not currently available you will not be able to change back to your previous tariff.
4.8 You may request a tariff transfer by notifying Tesco Mobile Customer Care. However, within any Minimum Term, you cannot move onto a tariff with a lower monthly tariff payment. This does not affect your right to cancel your contract under paragraph 3 (Cooling-off Period) or paragraph 5 (Ending this Service Agreement).
5. Ending this Service Agreement
5.1 After the Cooling off Period, you may cancel your Service Agreement at any time by contacting Customer Care.
5.2 If you have committed to a Minimum Term of one month, your cancellation will take effect on your next Billing Date. However, as it takes up to 48 hours for us to process your cancellation, you need to cancel at least 48 hours before your next Billing Date to ensure a further Minimum Term does not start. If a new Minimum Term does start, your cancellation will automatically take effect on the following Billing Date.
5.3 If you have committed to a Minimum Term of more than one month, you may cancel your Service Agreement at any time and cancellation will take effect immediately. However, if you cancel after the Cooling-off Period but before the end of your Minimum Term, you will incur a cancellation charge for ending it early. The cancellation charge will be calculated based on the number of remaining monthly charges on your account minus the costs which we will no longer incur for providing the service. The amount of the charge will be notified to you before you cancel.
5.4 We may end your Service Agreement at any time by emailing you and giving you 30 days’ notice. We may also end our Service Agreement with you immediately if:

despite making all reasonable efforts to do so.
5.5 Both of us must continue complying with this Service Agreement until we stop providing the Tesco Mobile Pay monthly Service to you. You will be charged for all monthly subscription charges incurred and calls made prior to your cancellation. The end of this Service Agreement, for whatever reason, shall not affect either of our
rights or liabilities.
5.6 If at any time we do not require you to comply with this Service Agreement, this does not prevent us from asking you to at a later time.
6. Changes to this Service Agreement
6.1 We can change this Service Agreement (including our charges) at any time. We will notify you of any significant changes either by email to the email address you gave us when you registered for Tesco Mobile Pay monthly Service or via your bill.
