        • 7.2 If a terminal has been rented from WAPPOINT, the MERCHANT must insure the terminal and is liable for all parts of the equipment. If any of the equipment suffers any damages or is lost, the MERCHANT will be responsible for the repair or replacement. The MERCHANT must take proper care of the terminals and treat them with care. In failing to send us the signed Delivery Note Liability Form within 7 days, we will automatically assume that the responsibility has been taken and that the MERCHANT is aware of the insurance clause.
        • 7.3 The MERCHANT will be liable for all call-out or courier fees to deliver a terminal to the MERCHANT or to return a terminal to our offices, even when the terminal is faulty and a swap out is required.
        • 7.4 In the event of a Swap Out: We would never expect a MERCHANT to pay for any of the repair costs on a rental device (unless there are missing or broken parts due to negligence) and subsequently, we would only charge the courier fees to collect the old device and deliver the new device. The MERCHANT can opt for a small subscription fee to be added to the monthly rental invoice so that the MERCHANT does not pay for any couriers related to swap outs that may occur, no matter how frequently the device requires exchanges.
        • 7.5 On the return of a Terminal, the deposit (if any) will be refunded within 2 weeks or 10 business days. If there is damage to the terminal or items missing, the balance due will be subtracted from the deposit and the difference paid out.
        • 7.6 WAPPOINT shall not be held responsible to the MERCHANT for any loss or damage arising from a network breakdown, a system failure, equipment malfunction, the destruction of or damage to facilities caused by power failures or similar occurrences or loss or damage caused by events beyond our control.

        • 7.8 The ownership of the SIM/s, whether Customer has purchased the terminal or not, shall remain the property of WAPPoint and all SIMs shall be returned to WAPPoint after termination of the service.
        •  7.9 SIM / Connectivity rental fees include a fixed amount of data per SIM card of 10MB. These amounts are set by the SIM manufacturer according to the average usage of a terminal for the purposes of trading numerous transactions daily. To allow for large volume trading, WAPPoint will cover the costs up to 50MB per SIM and any data used over and above this threshold will incur additional data charges at a rate of R0.60 per megabyte and will be billed to the merchant.
        •  

WAPPOINT TERMS & CONDITIONS FOR SUPPORT SERVICES SUBSCRIPTION CLIENTS (SWAP OUTS within 24-48 Hrs / 4-8hrs)

Specific exceptions to the benefit

      • The company shall provide a replacement terminal and collect the broken terminal within 24-48 Working Hours or 4-8 hours depending on the subscription chosen. Please note the following:
        • (a) our offices are closed on weekends. In this case, we will provide telephonic support and transaction processing whilst the terminal is out of order and arrange for the device to be swapped out on the next available business day. Alternatively a call out can be arranged within a 50km radius of our branches. We charge a set call out fee plus R3.60 per km and only the 4-8 hr subscription option will cover call outs within a 50km radius of any WAPPoint branch.
        • (b) regional area couriers may take 2-3 working days to deliver once the device has left our premises and we unfortunately do not provide call out services to regional areas.
        • (c) this benefit does not cover any parts or repairs and is only valid on courier or call out fees i.e. the delivery and collection costs to replace a faulty device.
        • (d) Devices that are faulty due to negligence i.e. broken / damaged / lost parts will not be covered and are billed separately.
        • (e) In order for the benefit to be valid, the account may not be overdue.

Purpose of Swap Out Subscriptions

      • The reason why we charge the courier fees for swap outs is due to the fact that your device is similar to a car and therefore requires a “service” from time to time. In the instance of a car, you would be required to take it to the dealership and collect it again after it has received the service. Similarly, you can bring the device to one of our offices to have the swap out done, or we can save you the hassle of driving to us, and arrange the couriers on your behalf. As our devices do not require servicing often, most customers will only require a swap out once a year, depending on how frequently the device is utilised.
      • If you are renting the device from us we would never expect you to pay for any of the repairs (unless there are missing or broken parts due to negligence) and we are only charging for the courier fees / call out fees to collect the old device and deliver the new device. This subscription fee can be added to your monthly rental invoice so that you don’t pay for any couriers related to swap outs that may occur, no matter how frequently your device requires exchanges.
