Charges

The rates for the Service are published on the Site at yollacalls.com/rates/. Yolla reserves the right to change the rates at any time without notice to you by posting such change on the Site. You understand and agree that if you continue to use the Product and the Services after the date of amendment publication, it shall constitute that you accept the updated rates. If you do not agree with the amended rates, you may terminate your relationship with Yolla.

The duration of a call shall be based on one-minute increments. Fractions of minutes will be rounded up to the next minute. At the end of a call, fractional cent charges will be rounded up or down to the nearest whole minimum currency unit (e.g. cent). For example, a total call price of €0.034 will be rounded to €0.03. During the call, charges incurred will be deducted automatically from the Yolla credit balance in your user account.

You can enable the auto top-up feature when you buy Yolla Credit. If enabled, your credit balance will be automatically recharged when your Yolla balance becomes less than $1 by the same payment method chosen when you first sign up for auto top-up. You can change the amount or disable the auto top-up feature at any time by changing your payment settings in the Yolla applications.

You can use the mobile top-up service provided by Yolla. In this case you will be required to input a receiver mobile phone number. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have correctly inputted the information. You acknowledge that you will lose the right to cancel the services once they have been fully performed by Yolla. Accordingly, you will have no right to request a refund under the European Union (Consumer Information, Cancellation and Other Rights) Regulations 2013. The total amount (inclusive of applicable taxes and service fees) that you will be required to pay will be displayed in the Licensed Application before you are asked to confirm your transaction.

You can use the money transfer service provided by Yolla in partnership with Remitly Inc. In this case, you will be required to select the country you’re sending from as well as the destination country. Once countries are selected, you need to enter the remittance amount and choose the speed of delivery. The express delivery option is the fastest delivery and can be funded with a debit or credit card, while the economy delivery option has the highest exchange rate and can only be funded with your bank account. In order to ensure the service execution, you will be required to provide your actual email address, full name as it appears on a valid ID, and date of birth that should match your government ID. It is your responsibility to ensure that you have correctly inputted the aforementioned personal information about your identity. This personal information is required for financial institutions to establish the legitimacy of a customer’s identity under the KYC procedure, which is why Yolla is obliged to share this personal data with Remitly, Inc. that ensures the functioning of the money transfer service.

You can make your online activity more safe, anonymous and restriction-free with the fast and encrypted Yolla VPN. Access to the Yolla VPN service shall be charged the applicable fee, with said fee to be charged at the time of the subscription purchase, and then according to the billing cycle via the payment method provided by you. You can cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel a subscription you’ll still be able to use the Yolla VPN service for the remainder of the paid billing period. All subscriptions include access for up to 5 devices.

There might be a limit of the number and value of purchases over a time period (e.g. daily, weekly, monthly).

Subscriptions are automatically renewed unless canceled by user prior to the occurrence of the new subscription period.

Yolla provides text messaging to mobile phones and charges your Yolla account for messages that you send using the Product. However, Yolla cannot guarantee that the person you are sending a message to will receive it or reply to it (e.g., if a recipient is not reachable). We are dependent on various telecommunications networks for the delivery of messages and therefore cannot guarantee the delivery or the time taken for messages to be delivered. Also, Yolla cannot report the message delivery status as the exact meaning of delivery confirmations varies in different telecommunications networks and sometimes it only confirms that the message has been successfully sent, but not necessarily received.

Unless stated otherwise, all rates and charges shall be stated in US dollars (USD) or Euro (EUR) and shall be exclusive of value added taxes (VAT) or other applicable taxes or fees. Yolla may collect VAT or other applicable taxes at the appropriate rate for the particular territory (as per applicable tax rules) at the time of purchase of Yolla credit.

Subscriptions and Billing

  1. Subscription Plans: Yolla may provide you with the option to obtain subscription services that give you access to specific products or features for a set time. These subscriptions are set to renew automatically, charging a recurring fee on a regular schedule unless you choose to cancel. The subscription cost and payment schedule details will be presented to you at the time of purchase.
  2. Content Updates and Changes: From time to time, the content or services available through a subscription might be adjusted. We may introduce new features, make improvements, or discontinue certain offerings as part of our ongoing development process. Features may vary based on region, device, language, app version, or the app store you use. By engaging with Yolla, you understand that your subscription does not depend on any future features or updates, nor any public promises or statements made about future functionalities.
  3. Trials: Some of our subscription services may include a free or discounted trial period. After this trial period, unless canceled, your subscription will automatically switch to a paid one. Make sure to cancel before the trial ends if you do not wish to be charged. Always review the terms associated with any trial offer before subscribing.
  4. Price Adjustments and Taxes: We may occasionally adjust the prices for our subscription services. Should this happen, you will be notified in advance, and the new price will apply to your next billing cycle. If you continue using the service after being notified of the change and beyond the next billing cycle, it will be understood that you accept the new pricing. You may cancel the subscription if you do not agree with the updated fee by terminating your subscription before the updated subscription service price comes into effect. In the event of a pricing error, we will contact you to confirm or cancel your order. If we fail to communicate with you, the purchase will be canceled automatically. Taxes and fees are calculated based on current rates in your region and may change automatically over time in accordance with local regulations and tax rates as appropriate to the account information you offer.
  5. Automatic Renewal: Subscriptions will automatically renew at the end of the current billing period unless you cancel prior to the renewal date.
  6. Cancelling a Subscription: You must cancel your subscription or trial before it renews (before the start of the next scheduled billing/renewal date) to avoid incurring fees for the next billing period. If you are unable to cancel the subscription via the Yolla mobile application, please contact our customer care team in the app or via email (hi@yollacalls.com).
  7. Special Offers: Occasionally, we may provide special promotional rates or discounts for our subscription services. These offers may be available only to new users, for a limited time, or with any other stated condition. At the end of the promotional period, your subscription will continue at the regular price plus applicable taxes unless canceled. Other conditions and terms may apply.

Refunds and Bonuses

Unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Yolla offer, all purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe that Yolla has charged you in error, you must contact Yolla within 90 days of such charge.

No refunds will be given for any charges more than 90 days old. In exceptional cases, Yolla can refund calls that failed to connect back to your Yolla balance, if the call duration does not exceed 30 seconds and less than 30 days has passed since then.

As explained above, telecommunications networks do not provide a precise and universal message delivery status, so Yolla does not have accurate information about the message delivery, therefore all charges from your Yolla account for SMS messages are non-refundable.

We reserve the right to issue refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future.

Yolla reserves the right to refuse a refund or bonus request if it reasonably believes that you are trying to unfairly exploit this policy, for example, by making repetitive requests in respect of the same product or feature; by creating multiple Yolla accounts or using one account on multiple devices; if you are in breach of the Terms; or if Yolla reasonably suspects that you are using any of our products fraudulently or that your user account is being used by a third party fraudulently.

This policy does not affect any of your statutory rights to pursue a claim.

We make our best efforts to reward Yolla’s loyal customers by means of bonus campaigns, including the referral (intended to promote Yolla products to new users), ad videos, and testing programs. However, there may be rare situations where a program does not work properly due to some technical restrictions. Please refer to FAQ or contact technical support if you believe you experience some issues.

As a loyal user of the Service, you may be suggested to get a refund to your Yolla account as some percent of the amount that you spend on calls to your favorite phone number. You will be prompted to select this number. You won’t be able to change it later yourself. The favorite number can only be changed through Yolla support and only once a month.

All free credits received by users during a bonus campaign are for the personal use in the Yolla applications and services only. These credits are non-refundable, non-transferable and can’t be converted into money. In order to prevent fraudulent usage, misuse, and taking advantage of the referral system, Yolla may limit the maximum amount of free credits to be received by users and withdraw issued bonuses. Creating multiple accounts with different phone numbers by one user is also considered as a misuse. Yolla may withdraw free credits that have not been used by users within a period of 30 days after issuance date.

Bonus campaigns are valid until further notice. Yolla reserves the right to stop a campaign at any time and for any reason, at Yolla’s sole discretion.

Jurisdiction

The Estonian laws, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern this License and your use of the Licensed Application. You expressly agree that the courts in Tallinn have exclusive jurisdiction over any claim or dispute with Yolla or relating in any way to your use of the Licensed Application or Service. Your use of the Licensed Application and Service may also be subject to other local, state, national, or international laws.

In the event of substantial changes to these Terms, we will notify you through any of the available communication channels.
