1. Introductory
1.1. Prepaid24 will provide the Service in accordance with the Agreement. The Agreement will not in any way overrule, eliminate, or adjust the terms and conditions entered into between any User and his/her bank and/or any service provider.
1.2. The User acknowledges that Prepaid24 does not hold a deposit-taking licence (a banking license) and cannot hold funds on behalf of Users which are not the proceeds of payments made by them to purchase specific goods or products on their behalf.
1.3. Prepaid24 will not be liable for any loss suffered due to incorrect information that the User supplies, such as (but not limited to): the incorrect cell number, electrical meter number or email address. Prepaid24 will however use Commercially Reasonable Endeavours to recharge the correctly supplied prepaid number or electrical meter, or effect payment to the correct crypto wallet.
1.4 The communication channel for purposes of this Agreement will be through online chat or by e-mail only. Prepaid24 will provide no cellular or other contact numbers.
2. Copyright
Neither Third Parties nor Users may use a Prepaid24 logo or other proprietary graphic or trademark of Prepaid24 to link to this website without the express written permission of Prepaid24. Prepaid24 may revoke this right at any time without providing reasons for the revocation. Third Parties or Users are granted a limited, non-exclusive right to create a hyperlink to this website provided such link does not portray Prepaid24 in a false, misleading, derogatory, or defamatory manner.
3. Intellectual Property Rights
All the trademarks, data, and content on this website, including but not limited to software, databases, text, video clips, graphics, icons, hyperlinks, private information, designs and agreements, are the property of, or are licensed to Prepaid24. All these are protected from infringement by a third party, in terms of local and international legislation and treaties.
4. Prepaid24 service delivery
4.1 To combat possible fraud or corruption there is a barrier which might prevent Duplicate Recharge Attempts. If such Duplicate Recharge Attempts are successful within the 24 hours period, the conditions stipulated in clause 4.5 will apply. Prevent inconvenience by recharging with a slightly different amount in Rands. Do not try to use cents as Prepaid24’s systems do not process cents.
4.2 Although Prepaid24 completes most recharges in less than 15 minutes, Prepaid24 does not in any way guarantee a turnaround time. The main reason for this is Prepaid24's reliance on Third Parties.
4.3 Transactions will only be processed once the EFT payment has been cleared by the bank.
4.4 Should a recharge not have been done, and Prepaid24 is made aware of this by way of a query logged via the online support function on its website, Prepaid24 will respond to all such queries quickly and efficiently. Although most personal communication from Prepaid24 to Users commence within an hour or two from receiving an enquiry, Prepaid24 reserves the right to communicate with Users personally with regards to any failures within 2 business days from receiving a failure report. The only reason Prepaid24 reserves this right is to ensure communication to all Users, during critical system failures of any Third Party.
4.5 If the User requests a refund for any reason, such request will be processed, unless the User has requested a voucher or pin from Prepaid24 before Prepaid24 received the refund request, and furthermore subject to clause 5.1. The time when Prepaid24 receives the refund request will not be the time when the User logs the refund request, but the time when Prepaid24 support staff become aware of such refund request. Automatically programmed processes continuously run in the background to attempt recharging unsuccessful transactions. For this reason, Prepaid24 cannot be held liable if a recharge takes place in the window period from the User logging a refund request to the time Prepaid24’s support staff become aware of such a request. If that happens, Prepaid24 will not make the refund.
4.6 Should a Recharge Voucher/Token or Pin not have been issued and support staff become aware of the User’s request for a refund, such refund will be effected on the first Business Tuesday or Friday (whichever comes first) after the refund became known to support staff, provided Prepaid24 has the banking details of the particular User. If not, support staff will request the details. Upon receiving the information, Prepaid24 process the refund by the first Business Tuesday or Friday after the bank details were provided.
5. Fees and charges
5.1 Prepaid24 provides a method of obtaining prepaid airtime and electricity vouchers and payment for crypto wallets on behalf of Users, by combining existing internet banking methods and infrastructure. Prepaid24 may deduct any or all Third Party Levies from Users’ payments for successful recharges. A recharge will, therefore, be for the amount paid by the User, less any such Third Party Levies. If the User claims a refund, the User must supply sufficient proof of repayment of the Third Party Levy to the satisfaction of both the Bank and/or Prepaid24 before the refund will take place.
5.2 Prepaid24 processes prepaid recharges at no charge to the User. Should the Instant EFT via Ozow be used or a Business Services recharge be done, certain costs and/or service fees may be charged.
5.3 The municipalities of Richards Bay and Mbombela levy a 5% Third Party Levy on the value of the recharge. This is not a Prepaid24 levy.
5.4 All prices are inclusive of VAT.5.5 Tshwane and Ekurhuleni Users pay a monthly membership fee of R30 for unlimited transactions processed, and User support provided in the preceding month. This amount is deducted as a Third Party Levy from the first purchase in the following month.
5.6 All transactions must be done in Rand amounts. No cent amount will be processed or taken into consideration in any dispute whatsoever.
6. User conduct and responsibility
6.1 Should the User commence a transaction with Prepaid24, the User acknowledges and accepts the possible delay caused by any of the Third Parties involved to successfully effect the transaction. Should the User supply incorrect Registration Details or insufficient banking detail to Prepaid24 to effect a successful transaction, the User will be required to supply sufficient and original proof of payment with the correct cell number or meter number to be charged or crypto currency account. Such proof must be furnished with an enquiry submitted through the online support function on Prepaid24’s website.
6.2 It is the responsibility of the User to notify Prepaid24, through the online support function on its website should the User not have received his or her recharge voucher, pin or credit to his/her crypto currency wallet within 15 minutes.
7. Privacy
The details any User provides on this website will not be given to any Third Party for any reason other than as required to effect a recharge.
