Your payments for Zingaya are made by charging your credit or debit card. In order to use paid Service, you shall provide you credit or debit card details.

Zingaya is a subscription service. Your credit card will be charged automatically every month according to the amount of monthly subscription fee that is specific for chosen plan. Charges are made in advance for the succeeding month.

Each Zingaya plan includes specific amount of call minutes. If you consume all minutes included in monthly subscription, your credit card will be charged for additional 10 USD. This amount will be added to your Zingaya account balance and will be used to provide extra call minutes on the rate, specific for chosen plan.

Call minutes, included in subscription fee, expire in the end of the month.

Zingaya will send an email to you no later than one day after receipt, confirming each successful payment. If Zingaya service is unavailable we will inform you about expected availability time immediately.

If Zingaya is unable to charge your credit card, an email will be sent to you with instructions to modify credit card details. In this case Service will be suspended until credit card is successfully charged.

You will not be charged for the period your account was suspended.

In case your account is suspended for at least 6 months, it is automatically deleted and Service is terminated.

Unless stated otherwise, all rates and charges shall be stated in US dollars and shall be exclusive of value added taxes (VAT) or any other applicable taxes.

You agree that by continuing to use the Service, following the adjustments of the rates, you accept such adjustments.

Zingaya is not responsible for any telephone or internet connection charges, surcharges, taxes, or other amounts incurred in accessing the Service, for which you accept all responsibility.
