Refund policy
Effective Date: December 16, 2024
Last Updated: December 16, 2024
Our Commitment
At KepeSIM, customer satisfaction is our priority. We understand that sometimes things don't go as planned, and we're committed to making things right. This policy outlines when refunds are available for our eSIM services.
Understanding Digital Products
eSIMs are digital products delivered instantly via email. Unlike physical products, they cannot be "returned" in the traditional sense. However, we offer refunds in specific situations outlined below.
When You Can Get a Full Refund
1. Before eSIM Activation
- Full refund available if you haven't activated your eSIM
- No questions asked - we'll process your refund immediately
- Contact us at support@kepesim.com within 180 days of purchase
2. Device Incompatibility
- Full refund if your device doesn't support eSIM technology
- Applies if: You were unaware your device wasn't compatible
- We'll help you check compatibility before issuing a refund
3. Wrong Plan Purchased
- Full refund if you accidentally purchased the wrong plan
- Must request before activation
- We can also help you exchange for the correct plan
4. Technical Issues Caused by Us
- Full refund or replacement if the eSIM doesn't work due to our service failure
- Examples: Invalid QR code, activation errors, network issues on our end
- We take full responsibility for service problems
After eSIM Activation
Once you've activated your eSIM and it's working, refunds are evaluated case-by-case based on:
Situations We'll Consider:
- Severe service disruption not caused by local network conditions
- Coverage issues significantly different from what was advertised
- Data not working despite following all setup instructions
- Technical problems that we cannot resolve
What We'll Do:
- Investigate the issue thoroughly
- Provide technical support to resolve the problem
- Offer a partial refund for unused data (at our discretion)
- Provide a replacement eSIM if appropriate
- Issue a full refund if we cannot fix the issue
What's Not Refundable
We cannot provide refunds in these situations:
❌ Change of travel plans - If you no longer need the eSIM
❌ Forgot to activate - If you didn't use the eSIM during validity period
❌ Poor local network conditions - Issues caused by the local carrier network
❌ Used all data - After you've consumed your full data allowance
❌ Expired plans - After the validity period has ended
❌ Violation of terms - If you've misused the service
