You must be at least 18 years of age to use TISA services. You must complete live photo ID verification to confirm your identity, as required by UK law and Ofcom regulations.

You may register multiple SIMs under one email address, but each SIM is assigned its own unique mobile number. All your SIMs can be managed within a single TISA account.

Access to your account is through the TISA app using your registered mobile number and password. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.

Tethering (mobile hotspot) is permitted unless explicitly restricted by your chosen bundle.

You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update your details promptly if they change. Providing false or misleading information may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account.

We reserve the right to refuse registration, suspend, or terminate any account at our reasonable discretion where we suspect fraud, misuse, or breach of these T&Cs.

4 SIM Types and Bundles

4.1 SIM Types

  • Standard Bundle SIM: Includes voice, SMS, and data allowances as defined by your selected bundle plan.
  • Data Only SIM: Includes a data allowance only. No voice or SMS services are included.
  • Lite SIM: Starts with no active services. You can add voice, SMS, and data via Add-Ons through the TISA app, giving you full control over your spend.

4.2 Data Add-Ons

Data Add-Ons are available in 1 GB, 3 GB, and 10 GB sizes and may be purchased at any time through the TISA app.

Add-Ons allow 100% usage within the EU (Zone 1) at no additional charge.

Data Add-Ons expire at the same time as your original bundle expiry date. Unused balances from Add-Ons cannot be carried forward, rolled over, or refunded.

We monitor usage patterns to ensure FUP compliance. Persistent or excessive breach may result in throttling, suspension, or termination.

4.4 Bundle Pricing

Full pricing is published in our Price Guide:

All prices for personal services are inclusive of VAT at the prevailing rate.

4.5 Out of Bundle Usage

If you exceed your bundle allowances for calls, SMS, or data, PAYG rates will apply. Current PAYG rates are published in our Price Guide. We will notify you via SMS or push notification when you reach 80% and 100% of your data allowance, giving you the opportunity to purchase an Add-On or manage your usage.

5 Tisa Home (International Calling)

5.1 Service Description

Tisa Home is a free to download international calling application available on iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play). It allows you to make calls to over 180 international destinations at published per-minute rates. Tisa Home does not require a TISA SIM card and works on any mobile phone, on any network, and over Wi-Fi.

5.2 Registration and Verification

To use Tisa Home, you must download the application, register your mobile number, and verify your identity via a one-time verification code. You must be at least 18 years of age. Each mobile number may only be registered to one Tisa Home account. You are responsible for all activity on your Tisa Home account.

5.3 Credit and Top-Up

Tisa Home operates on a prepaid credit basis. The minimum top-up amount is £5. Upon registration, you will receive £1 of free promotional credit, subject to the same terms as purchased credit.

Top-ups can be made via the app using debit card, credit card, Apple Pay, or Google Pay. All payments are PCI DSS compliant.

Credit does not expire. Purchased credit remains in your account indefinitely, provided your account remains active and in good standing.

Tisa Home credit is non-refundable once purchased, except during the 14-day cooling-off period for first-time purchases where no calls have been made.

5.4 Calling Rates and Billing

Calls are billed per minute with no connection fees. All published rates are inclusive of VAT. Rates vary by destination and are published in the Tisa Home rate card (180+ destinations). We may update calling rates at any time; updated rates are reflected in the app before you dial.

Charges are deducted from your credit balance in real time. If your balance is insufficient, the call will be disconnected automatically.

5.5 Caller ID (CLI)

Tisa Home supports 100% Caller Line Identification (CLI). Your real UK mobile number is displayed to the recipient, subject to the receiving network supporting CLI presentation.

5.6 Call Quality and Availability

Call quality depends on your internet connection and the destination network. We use HD voice technology but cannot guarantee call quality on every connection. Tisa Home is not a replacement for your primary mobile service and may experience downtime.

5.7 Emergency Calls

Tisa Home cannot be used to make emergency calls (999, 112, or any other emergency number). You must use your standard mobile phone service or a landline to contact emergency services.

5.8 Account Inactivity

If your Tisa Home account has no activity (no calls, no top-ups) for 12 continuous months, we may classify it as inactive. We will notify you by email or SMS before taking action. Inactive accounts may be suspended or closed, and remaining credit may be forfeited after a further 30-day notice period.

5.9 Acceptable Use

Tisa Home is for personal, non-commercial use. You must not use it for:

  • Commercial call centre operations or automated dialling
  • Reselling calls or credit to third parties
  • Fraudulent, illegal, or abusive purposes
  • Generating artificially inflated traffic
  • Reverse charging or call-back schemes

Breach may result in immediate suspension or termination and forfeiture of remaining credit.

5.10 Independence from SIM Services

Tisa Home operates independently of any TISA SIM plan. Credit purchased for Tisa Home cannot be applied to SIM charges and vice versa.

6 Billing and Payments

6.1 Billing Overview

Your first month of SIM service is prepaid and charged when you place your order. Subsequent months are postpaid: you use the service, then receive an itemised bill at month-end.

No credit checks are required for standard activation. Credit or affordability checks may be conducted if you request changes to credit terms.

If no payment is received within 30 days of the bill date, your service may be suspended or terminated.

6.2 Payment Methods

Payments are processed securely via Revolut as our payment gateway. We accept major debit and credit cards. All transactions are encrypted and PCI DSS compliant.

You are responsible for keeping your payment details up to date. Failed payments due to expired or incorrect card details remain your liability.

6.3 Refund Policy

Refunds are available only:

  • Within the 14-day cooling-off period (see Section 7.2).
  • Where SIM delivery exceeds 10 working days and you cancel.
  • Where we have made a confirmed billing error.

No other refunds are issued, including for unused credit, partial month usage, or early cancellation outside the cooling-off period.

6.4 Failure to Pay and Debt Recovery

  • (a) Late Fees: Reasonable late payment charges may be applied to overdue amounts.
  • (b) Suspension and Termination: If payment remains outstanding for more than 30 days, we may suspend your service after giving you at least 7 days' written notice. If the outstanding balance is not settled within a further 14 days, we may terminate your service.
  • (c) Reconnection Fee: A reconnection fee may apply before service is restored following non-payment suspension.
  • (d) Debt Collection: Unpaid debts may be referred to a third-party debt collection agency. You are liable for reasonable recovery costs, including legal fees and court costs.

6.5 Billing Disputes

Disputes must be raised within 60 days of the bill date by contacting Customer Support (Section 13). If not disputed within this period, the bill is deemed accepted. We aim to resolve disputes within 14 working days. You must continue paying undisputed amounts during investigation. Confirmed errors in your favour will be credited within 14 days.

6.6 Metering and Billing Accuracy

Our billing systems comply with Ofcom's Metering and Billing Direction. We maintain accurate metering and billing systems, appoint a responsible person to oversee billing accuracy, and conduct regular audits to ensure charges are correctly calculated and applied. If a billing error is identified, we will correct it and credit your account accordingly.

7 Contracts, Cancellation, Porting and Termination

7.1 Contract Duration

You may choose a 1-month (rolling), 12-month, or 24-month contract. The contract commences on the date of SIM activation.

Contracts do not renew automatically. You will receive a reminder at least 30 days before your contract expires (see Section 8 for end-of-contract notifications).

7.2 14-Day Cooling-Off Period

Under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013, you may cancel within 14 days of SIM activation without giving a reason. If unused, you receive a full refund. If used, a pro-rata refund applies less usage charges. To cancel, contact us via any channel in Section 13. Refunds are processed within 14 days of your cancellation notification.

If you request that your service begins during the cooling-off period, you must provide express consent for the service to start before the 14-day period expires. By activating your SIM and using the service, you acknowledge that you will be liable for a proportionate amount for the service already received up to the point of cancellation, and that you will lose your right to cancel once the service has been fully provided during that period.

We will never use pre-ticked boxes to add optional services or charges to your order. Any additional services require your express, active consent before charges are applied, in compliance with the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013.

7.3 Early Termination

Cancelling a fixed-term contract early incurs a charge of 100% of your current monthly bundle price multiplied by the remaining months.

Early termination charges do not apply where you cancel due to a materially detrimental price increase (see Section 9) or where we are in material breach of these T&Cs.

7.4 Account Inactivity and Termination

Accounts are inactive if payment is not received within 7 days after the billing cycle. Inactive accounts may be terminated automatically. Upon termination, you lose access to your number, remaining allowances, and associated services. Outstanding charges remain payable.

7.5 Porting Your Number (PAC / STAC)

7.5.1 Your Right to Port

Under Ofcom rules, you have the right to transfer your mobile number to another provider. We fully comply with Ofcom's porting and switching requirements. You do not need to contact TISA separately to cancel your service when switching; the gaining provider manages the switching process on your behalf.

7.5.2 Requesting a PAC or STAC

Text PAC from the number you wish to transfer to 65075. We will reply (where possible) within 60 seconds with your PAC and Switching Information, including outstanding charges, remaining contract term, and financial implications.

PACs are valid for 30 days. You may also request a STAC to leave without keeping your number.

7.5.3 Booking a Switch

Choose any working day within the 30-day PAC window. Porting takes place Monday to Friday, 09:00 to 17:00 UK time. Requests after 16:00 may complete within two working days.

7.5.4 Transfer Day Timeline

  • 08:00 to 11:00 – Network updates begin.
  • 11:00 to 14:00 – Temporary dual service may occur; brief outage possible.
  • By 17:00 – Number live on TISA. We confirm and advise testing.

7.5.5 No Cost and Continuity

Issuing a PAC or STAC is free. We do not charge for number porting. Porting is completed within one business day of the porting request in accordance with Ofcom requirements. We minimise downtime but cannot guarantee zero interruption. If porting is delayed beyond one business day due to our error, you may be entitled to compensation in accordance with Ofcom General Condition B3.

7.5.6 Billing on Switch

Your TISA billing ceases on the date your number is ported to the new provider. You will not be double-billed by TISA and your new provider for the same period. Any remaining prepaid credit or unused bundle allowances are forfeited upon porting, unless otherwise stated in your Contract Summary. We will inform you of any outstanding prepaid credit balance as part of your Switching Information when you request a PAC or STAC.

7.5.7 Outstanding Charges

All outstanding balances remain payable after porting out. Early termination charges apply to fixed-term contracts. Certain services (voicemail, bundled minutes, data) cease immediately upon porting.

7.5.8 Verification

We verify all PAC/STAC requests to confirm account holder authority. If verification fails, we contact you and issue the code only after successful confirmation.

7.5.9 Switching Disputes

Unresolved switching disputes may be escalated to Ofcom or an approved ADR scheme (see Section 13.2).

8 End of Contract and Renewal Notifications

In compliance with Ofcom regulations, we will send you an End of Contract Notification between 10 and 40 days before your fixed-term contract expires. This notification will include:

  • The date your contract ends
  • Any changes to the service or price that will apply after the contract ends
  • The best tariffs available to you with TISA
  • Information about how to switch provider, including your right to request a PAC or STAC

If you are on a rolling monthly contract, we will send you an Annual Best Tariff Notification, informing you of any better deals available. These notifications are sent by SMS and/or email to the contact details registered on your account.

9 Price Changes

We may change our prices from time to time. Any price changes will be communicated as follows:

9.1 Contracts entered into from 17 January 2025

In accordance with Ofcom General Condition C1 (as amended 17 January 2025), any in-contract price adjustments will be set out clearly in pounds and pence in your Contract Summary and Order Confirmation at the point of sale, before you enter the contract. You will know exactly what any price adjustment will be before you commit.

If we wish to apply a price increase that was not specified in your contract, we will provide at least 30 days' advance notice, and you will have the right to exit your contract without penalty within 30 days of receiving that notice.

9.2 Out-of-Contract Price Changes

If you are on a rolling monthly contract (out of any fixed term), we may adjust prices with at least 30 days' notice. If the adjustment is materially detrimental, you may cancel without penalty.

10 International Roaming

10.1 Roaming Zones

10.2 Daily Roaming Passes

Activate by texting "ROAM" or "FURTHER" to 1250. Each pass lasts 24 hours from activation.

10.3 How Roaming Works

  1. Pick your destination – Review the roaming zone.
  2. Check allowances – Use our lookup tool to confirm zone and inclusions.
  3. Choose coverage – Compare bundle inclusions against PAYG rates.
  4. Activate and roam – Turn roaming on via text; passes auto-renew every 24 hours.

10.4 Key Roaming Rules

  • Roaming must be enabled in the TISA app before travelling.
  • Roaming is not available on Lite SIMs.
  • Permanent or long-term roaming is prohibited (see FUP in Section 4.3).
  • Emergency calls (999 / 112) always work while roaming, even without credit.
  • Charges vary by partner network. We recommend using Wi-Fi where available.

10.5 Roaming Spending Cap

In compliance with Ofcom regulations, a default financial spending cap applies to data usage while roaming outside Zone 1. Once the cap is reached, data services are suspended until you purchase a roaming pass or opt to lift the cap via the TISA app. This protects you from unexpectedly high bills. You will be notified by SMS when you reach 80% and 100% of the cap.

10.6 Roaming Notifications

When you arrive in a new country, we will send you an automatic SMS notification informing you of:

  • The roaming zone and applicable charges for calls, texts, and data
  • Any fair use limits that apply
  • How to set or adjust your spending cap
  • Where to find full roaming rate information

We take reasonable steps to protect you from inadvertent roaming charges in border areas where your device may connect to a foreign network. If you believe you have been charged for inadvertent roaming, contact Customer Support for investigation and a potential credit.

10.7 Roaming Barring

You may request that roaming services be barred entirely on your SIM by contacting Customer Support or through the TISA app. This prevents any roaming charges from being incurred. Barring can be removed at any time upon your request.

11 Acceptable Use Policy and Fraud

11.1 Prohibited Uses

  • Fraud, illegal activity, spam, or harassment
  • Using SIMs in routers, gateways, SIM banks, or for resale
  • Bypassing network controls, traffic manipulation, or automated usage
  • Sending unsolicited bulk messages or automated calls
  • Any activity causing damage or disruption to TISA's network or other customers

11.2 Default Blocks

The following are blocked by default on all new SIMs:

  • Premium rate numbers (09, 118)
  • Adult content services
  • Directory enquiries

You may request removal via the TISA app (18+ with age verification). We are not responsible for charges from third-party premium or adult services once unblocked at your request.

11.3 Consequences

Breach may result in throttling, suspension, or termination without notice in serious cases. We reserve the right to report illegal activity to law enforcement and to cooperate with investigations.

12 Lost or Stolen SIM/Device

  • (a) Your liability: You are liable for all charges incurred up to the time we receive your notification.
  • (b) How to notify us: Immediately via phone, WhatsApp, email, or the TISA app (see Section 13). Report as soon as you become aware.

ADR time limits: You must refer your complaint to CISAS within 12 months of the date the dispute arose, or within 9 months of receiving a Deadlock Letter, whichever is earlier. The ADR decision is binding on TISA if accepted by you. CISAS is completely free for customers.

13.3 Ofcom

You may also contact Ofcom at any time if you have concerns about our services. Ofcom does not handle individual complaints but uses feedback to inform regulatory policy. Visit ofcom.org.uk.

14 Emergency Calls and Network Status

Calls to 999 and 112 are always available on TISA SIM services, even without credit, an active bundle, or while roaming. This applies at all times while your SIM is active and inserted in a compatible device with network coverage.

When you make an emergency call, your approximate location information is automatically shared with emergency services as required by Ofcom General Condition A3, to the extent that it is technically feasible.

14.1 Accessibility for Emergency Services

If you are deaf, hard of hearing, or speech impaired, you can contact emergency services via:

  • Text Relay: Dial 18000 to reach 999 via the BT Relay service
  • SMS Emergency: Text 999 (you must register with the emergencySMS service at emergencysms.net in advance)
  • 112: Also connects to emergency services and supports relay services

Important: Tisa Home (the international calling app) cannot be used for emergency calls. Use your standard mobile service or a landline. Tisa Home is a VoIP application and does not support access to 999, 112, or any other emergency number.

Check network status at the Tisa Network Status page.

Alerts are sent via SMS and/or push notification. While we make every effort to deliver these alerts promptly, delivery depends on network availability and we cannot guarantee real-time notification in all circumstances.

Telephone numbers are allocated to TISA by Ofcom and remain the property of Ofcom at all times. You do not own your telephone number. We grant you a licence to use the number for the duration of your contract.

We may need to change your number in exceptional circumstances (for example, regulatory requirement or numbering plan changes). We will provide at least 30 days' notice in such cases. If a number change is materially detrimental, you may cancel without penalty.

Upon termination of your contract (other than by porting), your number will be quarantined for a minimum period before being returned to the number pool for reallocation in accordance with Ofcom's numbering guidance.

20 Voicemail

Voicemail is included with all Standard Bundle SIM plans at no additional charge. Voicemail messages are stored for 30 days, after which they are automatically deleted.

Listening to voicemail messages while in the UK is free. Listening to voicemail while roaming may incur data or call charges at the applicable roaming rate.

Voicemail is not available on Lite SIMs unless a voice Add-On is active. Voicemail may be deactivated by contacting Customer Support if you prefer not to use it.

21 Plan Changes and Migrations

You may upgrade or downgrade your bundle plan at any time through the TISA app or by contacting Customer Support.

  • Upgrades: Take effect immediately or at the start of your next billing period (your choice). Any price difference is pro-rated for the remaining period.
  • Downgrades: Take effect at the start of your next billing period. You will continue to enjoy your current allowances until the end of the current period.
  • Fixed-term contracts: Changing your plan during a fixed-term contract does not reset or extend your contract term, unless the new plan requires a different minimum commitment period, in which case this will be clearly communicated before you confirm.

22 Devices and Delivery

Your device must be unlocked and support EE network frequencies. 5G requires a 5G-compatible handset and 5G coverage in your area. TISA is a SIM-only provider; we do not supply handsets.

SIM cards are dispatched via Royal Mail tracked delivery (3 to 5 working days). If your SIM has not arrived within 10 working days, contact us and you may cancel for a full refund.

Risk of loss or damage passes to you upon delivery to your specified address.

23 Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights in the TISA brand, Tisa Home application, website, and related content are owned by or licensed to 9Eons Limited.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Tisa Home application for personal, non-commercial use only. You must not copy, modify, distribute, reverse-engineer, decompile, or create derivative works of any TISA intellectual property.

24 Vulnerability and Accessibility

In compliance with Ofcom's Treating Vulnerable Customers Fairly guidelines, TISA is committed to providing appropriate support to customers who may be vulnerable due to age, disability, mental health, bereavement, financial difficulty, or other personal circumstances.

If you or someone you know requires additional support, please contact us. We can:

  • Provide information in accessible formats (large print, Braille, audio, PDF)
  • Allow a nominated person to manage your account on your behalf
  • Offer additional time to pay or adjusted payment arrangements
  • Provide specialist support for customers with communication needs
  • Apply spending caps or usage alerts to help manage costs
  • Offer priority fault repair service for disabled customers
  • Provide access to text relay services and emergency SMS (see Section 14)
  • Provide free directory enquiry services (195) for customers who are unable to use a printed directory due to a disability
  • Provide bills and contract information in accessible formats at no extra charge

Our staff are trained to identify and support vulnerable customers with care and sensitivity. We also offer social tariffs or reduced-cost packages for eligible customers experiencing financial hardship. Contact us for details.

25 Environment and Recycling

Recycle used SIM cards by returning them to: Luminous House, 300 South Row, Milton Keynes, MK9 2FR, United Kingdom.

26 Network Security and Traffic Management

26.1 Network Security (Telecommunications Security Act 2021)

In compliance with the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 and the Electronic Communications (Security Measures) Regulations 2022, TISA takes appropriate and proportionate security measures to protect our network and your data. These include:

  • Protecting stored customer data against unauthorised access
  • Securing critical network functions
  • Monitoring for potentially dangerous or anomalous activity
  • Taking account of supply chain security risks
  • Compliance with the Telecommunications Security Code of Practice

In the event of a security incident affecting our network or services, we will notify Ofcom as required and, where the breach is likely to adversely affect you, we will notify you directly with details of the incident and recommended protective measures. We may take immediate action to protect the network, including temporary service modifications, in response to security threats or vulnerabilities.

26.2 Open Internet and Net Neutrality

In compliance with the Open Internet Access Regulation (retained EU Regulation 2015/2120), TISA treats all internet traffic equally. We do not block, throttle, or discriminate against any lawful content, applications, or services, except where necessary to:

  • Comply with UK law or a court order
  • Preserve the integrity and security of the network
  • Manage temporary or exceptional congestion (applied in a non-discriminatory manner)
  • Respond to emergency situations

Any traffic management measures we apply are reasonable, transparent, non-discriminatory, proportionate, and not based on commercial considerations. We do not offer paid prioritisation of traffic. You have the right to access and distribute lawful content, use and provide lawful applications and services, and use terminal equipment of your choice.

26.3 Zero-Rating

TISA does not currently operate any zero-rating arrangements. If we introduce zero-rating for specific services in the future, we will clearly disclose what is zero-rated and any limitations, and will ensure such arrangements comply with net neutrality requirements.

27 Consumer Rights and Service Remedies

Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, our services are provided with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time (where no time is agreed), and at a reasonable price (where no price is agreed). In addition:

27.1 Right to Repeat Performance

If our service does not conform to the contract (for example, persistent service failures not caused by factors outside our control), you have the right to require us to repeat performance of the service to bring it into conformity, at no additional cost.

27.2 Right to Price Reduction

If repeat performance is impossible, or if we fail to carry out repeat performance within a reasonable time and without significant inconvenience to you, you are entitled to a price reduction. The reduction may be up to the full amount of the price, depending on the severity of the non-conformity.

27.3 Digital Content

Where we supply digital content (such as the TISA app or Tisa Home application), that content will be of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose, and as described. If digital content is faulty, you are entitled to repair, replacement, or a price reduction as appropriate.

27.4 Unfair Terms

We have taken care to ensure that these T&Cs are fair, transparent, and do not create a significant imbalance to your detriment. Any term found to be unfair under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 will not be binding on you. Core terms (price, service description) are set out in plain language and are prominently displayed in your Contract Summary.

27.5 Compensation and Service Credits

TISA does not currently participate in Ofcom's Automatic Compensation Scheme (which primarily applies to fixed broadband and landline services). However, where you experience a service failure caused by TISA (not by EE network outages or factors beyond our control), we will consider goodwill credits or compensation on a case-by-case basis. Contact Customer Support (Section 13) to make a claim.

28 Limitation of Liability

TISA's total aggregate liability for any claim during a monthly billing period shall not exceed the monthly recurring charges paid by you for that period.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses, including loss of profit, data, business, or reputation, even if advised of the possibility.

Our services depend on EE network availability. We do not guarantee uninterrupted service and are not liable for outages beyond our reasonable control.

Nothing excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury from our negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded by English law.

29 Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless TISA, 9Eons Limited, its affiliates, directors, officers, agents, and employees from claims, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including legal fees) arising from:

  • (a) Your use of Services in breach of these T&Cs or any law;
  • (b) Any fraudulent or illegal activity using your Account or SIM(s);
  • (c) Any third-party claims from your misuse of the Service.

This obligation survives termination.

30 Third Party Services and Content

You are solely responsible for charges from third-party services accessed via TISA (app subscriptions, premium texts, in-app purchases). We act only as the carrier and are not responsible for content, delivery, pricing, or cancellation of third-party services. Disputes must be raised directly with the provider.

31 Force Majeure

We shall not be liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, civil unrest, strikes, power outages, telecommunications failures (including EE outages), government orders, and cyberattacks. We will use reasonable efforts to mitigate and resume service promptly.

32 Changes to These Terms

We may update these T&Cs for legal, regulatory, or operational reasons with at least 30 days' notice by email or the TISA app. If a change materially and negatively affects you, you may cancel without penalty within 30 days. Continued use after the notice period constitutes acceptance. Minor clarifying changes may be made without prior notice but will always be available on our website.

33 Governing Law and Regulatory Compliance

These T&Cs are governed by English law. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.

TISA complies with:

  • Ofcom General Conditions of Entitlement (including C1, C3, C5, C6, C7, C8, A3, A4, B1, B3 requirements)
  • The Communications Act 2003

34 Severability

If any provision is found invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, it shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary or deemed deleted. All remaining provisions continue in full force.

35 Entire Agreement

These T&Cs, together with our Privacy Policy, Cookies Policy, Price Guide, Contract Summary, and any Order Confirmation, constitute the entire agreement between you and TISA for the Services and supersede all prior agreements and representations.

36 Third Party Rights

No third party has rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce these T&Cs, except that 9Eons Limited and its affiliates may enforce rights granted to them.

37 Waiver

No failure or delay in exercising any right operates as a waiver. A waiver of one breach does not waive subsequent breaches. Waivers must be in writing.

38 Notices

Notices from TISA to you: by email, push notification, or first class post to your registered address. Notices from you to TISA: by email to [email protected].

Email notices are deemed received same business day (if before 17:00) or next business day. Post is deemed received on the second business day after posting.

39 Assignment

You may not assign your rights or obligations without our written consent. TISA may assign to any affiliate, successor, or third party provided service quality is maintained. We will notify you within 30 days.

4.4 International Calling

International calls are per-minute (per second billing, no connection fee). Rates at Cloud PBX International Rates. All charges exclude VAT.

4.5 Number Allocation and Porting

4.7 Internet Requirements

Requires a stable broadband connection (minimum 100 kbps per concurrent call). Call quality depends on your internet. We are not responsible for issues caused by inadequate connectivity.

Available on TISA Max (30-day retention). You are responsible for compliance with recording laws, including informing callers and obtaining consent where required. We provide the capability but accept no liability for your compliance.

4.9 Emergency Calls (VoIP Limitations)

Important: Cloud PBX is a VoIP service and has limitations for emergency calls (999/112). Emergency calls via VoIP may not provide accurate caller location information to emergency services, and service availability depends on your internet connection and power supply. If your broadband or power fails, emergency calls via Cloud PBX will not be possible. We strongly recommend maintaining an alternative means of contacting emergency services (such as a mobile phone or landline).

Where Cloud PBX is used with a Pocket Office SIM, emergency calls via the mobile network (not VoIP) will provide standard location information and are not subject to VoIP limitations.

14 Data Protection and GDPR

14.1 Controller and Processor Roles

For Bulk SMS and services where you provide recipient data: you are the data controller, TISA is the data processor. You must have a lawful basis (including consent where required) to share data with us.

For account management, billing, and service delivery: TISA is the data controller.

14.2 Lawful Basis

We process business data under: contract performance, legal obligation (Ofcom, tax, Investigatory Powers Act), legitimate interests (fraud prevention, network security), and consent (marketing).

14.3 International Transfers

Data is primarily stored in the UK/EEA. Where transferred outside, we use UK Standard Contractual Clauses, adequacy decisions, or binding corporate rules.

14.4 Data Breach Notification

We notify the ICO within 72 hours of becoming aware of a breach posing risk to rights and freedoms. Where high risk to you, we notify you directly without undue delay. Where TISA is your data processor, we notify you within 48 hours of becoming aware of a breach affecting your data.

14.5 Sub-Processors

Where TISA acts as your data processor, we may engage sub-processors to assist in service delivery (for example, SMS delivery partners, infrastructure providers). We will maintain an up-to-date list of sub-processors, available on request. We impose equivalent data protection obligations on all sub-processors.

14.6 Data Processing Agreement

Where TISA acts as data processor, a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) governs processing. The DPA is available on request and forms part of these Business T&Cs. The DPA includes provisions for audit rights, allowing you or your representative to verify our compliance with data protection obligations, subject to reasonable notice and confidentiality.

14.7 Your Obligations

  • Obtaining and maintaining valid consent for data shared with TISA
  • Complying with all data protection laws

14.9 Lawful Interception and Communications Data Retention

TISA may be required to intercept communications or retain communications data pursuant to lawful authority under the Investigatory Powers Act 2016. We maintain lawful interception capability as required by law and will comply with valid warrants, data retention notices, and lawful requests from law enforcement and security services. We are prohibited from disclosing the existence of specific warrants or notices.

14.10 Marketing Communications (PECR)

In compliance with PECR, we will only send marketing communications where you have given opt-in consent. You may opt out at any time by contacting Business Support, replying STOP to any marketing SMS, or clicking unsubscribe in any marketing email. Opting out does not affect essential service communications.

14.11 Your Rights

Access, rectification, erasure, restriction, objection, and portability rights as per UK GDPR. Contact [email protected]. We respond within 30 days. See our Privacy Policy.

15 Number Ownership and Calling Line Identification

Telephone numbers are allocated by Ofcom and remain Ofcom's property. You are granted a licence to use allocated numbers during your contract. Numbers must be used in compliance with Ofcom's numbering guidance. Upon termination, unreported numbers are returned to the pool.

In compliance with Ofcom GC C6, TISA presents valid CLI on all calls. We do not permit the use of invalid, spoofed, or misleading CLIs. Cloud PBX users' CLI presents their assigned UK number. Misuse may result in suspension and regulatory reporting.

16 SIM Locking

In compliance with Ofcom GC C1.9, all TISA Business SIMs and Pocket Office SIMs are provided unlocked.

17 Intellectual Property

All IP in TISA brand, Cloud PBX platform, portal, apps, Bulk SMS dashboard, API, and related content is owned by or licensed to 9Eons Limited. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence for internal business use during your contract. You must not copy, modify, reverse-engineer, or create derivative works.

18 Limitation of Liability

TISA's total aggregate liability for all claims in any 12-month period shall not exceed the total Charges paid by you in the 12 months preceding the claim.

We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive losses including loss of profit, revenue, savings, business, contracts, opportunity, data, goodwill, reputation, or wasted management time.

Nothing excludes liability for death/personal injury from negligence, fraud, or liability that cannot be excluded by English law.

19 Indemnification

You indemnify TISA against claims, liabilities, damages, costs (including legal fees) from:

  • (a) Breach of these Business T&Cs or law;
  • (b) Content transmitted via Bulk SMS;
  • (c) Fraudulent or illegal use of your Business Account;
  • (d) Third-party claims from your use or misuse;
  • (e) Your failure to comply with data protection laws.

Survives termination.

20 Confidentiality

Each party keeps confidential all information received from the other that is marked or reasonably understood as confidential (pricing, technical specs, customer data, business plans, account details).

Disclosure permitted only to employees/agents/contractors bound by equivalent obligations, where required by law, or with prior written consent.

Confidentiality survives termination for 2 years.

21 Anti-Bribery and Corruption

Both parties comply with the Bribery Act 2010 and all applicable anti-corruption laws. Neither party shall offer, promise, give, or accept any bribe, facilitation payment, or other improper advantage in connection with these Business T&Cs.

You shall maintain adequate procedures to prevent bribery by your employees, agents, and subcontractors. Breach of this clause is a material breach entitling immediate termination.

22 Business Continuity

TISA maintains business continuity and disaster recovery plans for our Cloud PBX platform and core infrastructure. These plans are reviewed annually and tested periodically.

In the event of a service disruption, we will activate recovery procedures and provide status updates through our support channels. Our recovery objectives are to restore core services within 4 hours of a critical incident, though this is a target, not a guarantee.

Upon termination or expiry of your contract, we will provide reasonable transition assistance for a period of 30 days, including continued access to download call recordings, reports, and configuration data. Extended transition support may be available at our then-current professional services rates.

23 Network Security and Traffic Management

23.1 Network Security (Telecommunications Security Act 2021)

In compliance with the Telecommunications (Security) Act 2021 and the Electronic Communications (Security Measures) Regulations 2022, TISA takes appropriate security measures to protect our network, services, and your data. This includes protecting stored data, securing critical functions, monitoring for threats, and managing supply chain risks in accordance with the Telecommunications Security Code of Practice.

In the event of a security incident, we will notify Ofcom as required and, where likely to adversely affect you, notify you directly. We may take immediate action to protect the network in response to security threats, including temporary service modifications.

23.2 Open Internet and Net Neutrality

In compliance with the Open Internet Access Regulation (retained EU Regulation 2015/2120), TISA treats all internet traffic equally. We do not block, throttle, or discriminate against lawful content, applications, or services, except where necessary for legal compliance, network integrity, temporary congestion management, or emergency response. Any traffic management is reasonable, transparent, non-discriminatory, and not commercially motivated.

24 Consumer Rights (Qualifying Businesses)

Where the Consumer Rights Act 2015 applies to your business (sole traders and micro-businesses), our services are provided with reasonable care and skill, within a reasonable time, and at a reasonable price. You have the right to:

  • Repeat performance: If the service does not conform to the contract, you may require us to perform it again at no additional cost
  • Price reduction: If repeat performance is impossible or not carried out within a reasonable time, you are entitled to a price reduction up to the full amount

For larger businesses not covered by CRA 2015, service remedies are governed by these Business T&Cs, any separate SLA, and general contract law.

25 Force Majeure

Neither party is liable for failure or delay caused by events beyond reasonable control (natural disasters, pandemics, war, terrorism, strikes, power outages, network failures, government orders, cyberattacks). The affected party notifies the other promptly and uses reasonable efforts to mitigate.

If Force Majeure continues for 90+ consecutive days, either party may terminate affected services without early termination charges.

26 Changes to These Terms

We may update with at least 30 days' written notice to the Account Administrator. If a change materially and negatively affects your services (beyond annual price adjustments per Section 10), you may terminate without penalty within 30 days of notice. Continued use constitutes acceptance.
