When you click to make a purchase with us legal obligations arise and your right to refund of monies charged to your credit card or paid in any other way agreed by us, are limited by our terms & conditions. You must not make any purchase through this site unless you understand and agree all our terms and conditions. Once payment is made for the purchase, it is deemed that you have read and understood the terms and conditions for such purchase.

Service Levels
All services sold by Codegain are provided as a best-effort service, uptime and speeds cannot be guaranteed unless otherwise stated. During any technical failure, modification or maintenance of the service provided, Codegain will use its reasonable endeavors to resume the service as soon as possible. This excludes upstream provider infrastructure that is not within the control of Codegain DSL.
Static IPs
Minimum Requirements
Only one static IP can be linked to one active ADSL service (username) A static IP cannot be transferred from one service to another The static IP will remain active as long as the ADSL service (username) it is linked to is active, should the ADSL service (username) it is linked to be cancelled, the static IP will automatically be deleted. Please be aware that once the static IP is deleted it cannot be recovered, should you repurchase the service a new static IP will be issued. Failure to pay for your static IP and linked service before the due date will result in the static IP being deleted, once the static IP has been deleted it cannot be recovered. A static IP can be cancelled during the course of a month, but the cancellation will only take effect at the end of the month. E.G if we receive your cancellation on the 1st or 15th of July, the static IP will only be deleted on the 31st of July at 11:59pm. Your Static IP can be switched on and off from your CCP/RCP. Static IP's are assigned on your PPPOE connection. Due to privacy and security concerns, internal network configurations like natting and routing will need to be set up and maintained by your network administrator.
Static IPs are available for all monthly billed services, except SAIX based services and trial services.
All Static IPs on our new network are now allocated per region:
North = Free State, Gauteng, Mpumalanga, Limpopo, North West East = KwaZulu-Natal South = Eastern Cape, Western Cape and the Northern Cape To give you optimal routing and throughput, we need to lock your DSL service down to the last DSL line you connected from. Should you move to a different region and would like to connect from your new location, then you will have to cancel your current Static IP and apply for a brand new Static IP address. Codegain does not advise that Dynamic/Static IP's are used to run email servers. Should the client choose to use our Dynamic/Static IP services to run an email server it is the clients responsibility to monitor and request removal of all blacklisting's related to the IP on services such as RBL's/SBL's/PBL's and not the responsibility of Codegain.
When you enable the Static IP option in your Control Panel, we will force your service to disconnect in order to establish your region, so that we can allocate the appropriate Static IP in your area. The username will be locked to the first successful connection we receive, meaning no other connections can be established from another location.
Also note that the service will only allow one concurrent connection.

Codegain DNS Suite Codegain DNS When enabled, the Codegain DNS feature will direct your DNS traffic through the geographically closest operational DNS server to you. This feature also enables clients to make use of the Family Codegain feature. Should the Codegain DNS not be accessible the Default DNS will be used, during this time the Family Codegain feature will not be available until the Codegain DNS is restored.
Family Codegain
Family Codegain is a feature provided with the activation of Codegain DNS. This feature blocks unwanted domains within pre-defined categories from being accessed. We do our best to block unwanted domains; we however cannot guarantee that domains within the categories selected will not be accessible. Domains found accessible within a selected category can be reported to feedback@internet.co.za.
Custom/Corporate DNS
This feature allows you to specify the DNS server settings you would like applied to your service. Codegain accepts no responsibility for service interruptions when activating and using this service.

This feature allows you to create a unique hostname (static sub domain) which will allow you to remotely access your router/modem. The setup of port forwarding and the network configuration is the responsibility of the client and is required in order to use this feature. Codegain takes no responsibility for this feature not working due to the incorrect setup or configuration on the clients end. The security of the clients connection and network remains their responsibility when using this feature. This feature is provided as a best effort service and is not guaranteed.

I/we hereby request and authorize you to draw against my/our card (or any other bank or branch to which I/we may transfer my/our account/card) the due amount or any variable amount pertaining to this agreement, on the first working day of each month. This being the amount necessary for the settlement of the monthly invoice and/or any overdue amounts, due to you in respect of my/our purchases/contract/agreement.
All such withdrawals from my/our account/card by you shall be treated as though they had been signed by me/us personally.

Renewals (monthly invoice) will be processed on the first working day of every month. If your payment fails, your service(s) will be disabled immediately Please note that if you are cancelling your service(s) with Codegain, you need to cancel via your control panel before the last day of the month if you are paying via account/card (excludes debit order payments). Failure to do so will result in the product being activated and the monthly subscription being debited.
All other account/card instructions (new account sign ups/activations, hardware/device purchases, top ups, upgrades), besides the monthly subscription, will be processed on a daily basis.
Debit Order Authority
This Authority and Mandate refers to our contract as dated as on acceptance hereof ("the Agreement"). I / We hereby authorise you to issue and deliver payment instructions to the bank for collection against my / our above mentioned account or credit card at my / our above mentioned bank (or any other bank or branch to which I / we may transfer my / our account) on condition that the sum of such payment instructions will never exceed my / our obligations as agreed to in the Agreement, and commencing on the commencement date and continuing until this Authority and Mandate is terminated by me / us.
The individual payment instructions so authorised to be issued must be issued and delivered as follows
i. On the 1st working day ("payment day") of each and every month. In the event that the payment day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or recognized South African public holiday, the payment day will automatically be the very next ordinary business day. Further, if there are insufficient funds in the nominated account to meet the obligation, you are entitled to track my account and re-present the instruction for payment as soon as sufficient funds are available in my account.
Debit orders will be processed on the first working day of every month for renewal services. If your debit order fails, your service(s) will be disabled immediately. Your debit order against your bank account is an automated process and cannot be stopped after the 24th of each month. Please note that if you are cancelling your service(s) with Codegain, you need to cancel via the control panel by the 24th of the month for the end of the following month.
All other debit order instructions (new account sign ups/activations, hardware/device purchases, top ups, upgrades), besides the monthly subscription debit orders, will be processed on a daily basis. Should you order a new service or upgrade your existing service after the 24th of the month, your first renewal debit order thereafter will remain unchanged and an additional debit order will be processed for the price difference within the first 5 working days of the month. The following month the full amount for the updated services will be processed in a single debit order. Should you cancel one of your services or downgrade a service after the 24th of the month, your first renewal debit order will remain unchanged, but the price difference will reflect as a credit on your account, which can either be refunded to you or will automatically be deducted from your next debit order.
I / We understand that the withdrawals hereby authorised will be processed through a computerized system provided by the South African Banks and I also understand that details of each withdrawal will be printed on my bank statement. Each transaction will contain a number, which must be included in the said payment instruction and if provided to you should enable you to identify the instruction. I / We shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts which you have withdrawn while this authority was in force, if such amounts were legally owing to you.
Debit Order Mandate
I / We acknowledge that all payment instructions issued by you shall be treated by my / our above mentioned bank as if the instructions had been issued by me personally.
Debit Order Cancellation
I / We agree that although this Authority and Mandate may be cancelled by me / us, such cancellation will not cancel the Agreement. I / We shall not be entitled to any refund of amounts which you have withdrawn while this authority was in force, if such amounts were legally owing to you.
Debit Order Assignment
I / We acknowledge that this Authority may be ceded to or assigned to a third party if the agreement is also ceded or assigned to that third party, but in the absence of such assignment of the Agreement, this Authority and Mandate cannot be assigned to any third party.
Debit Order Contract
The signed Authority and Mandate refers to our contract as dated as on signature hereof ("the Agreement"). I / We hereby authorize you to issue and deliver payment instructions to the bank for collection against my / our above mentioned account at my / our above mentioned bank (or any other bank or branch to which I / We may transfer my / our account) on condition that the sum of such payment instructions will never exceed my / our obligations as agreed to in the Agreement, and commencing on the commencement date and continuing until this Authority and Mandate is terminated by me / us by giving you notice in writing sent by email to accounts@internet.co.za by no later than the 20th of the month or by logging in on your control panel and updating your payment method by no later than the 24th of the month.
Prorata Billing
Prorata billing applies to all new monthly billed services and on the initial purchase only. Prorata billing will not apply should you fail to pay your renewal invoice or any outstanding invoice on your account, the renewal/outstanding invoice must first be paid in order to qualify for the prorata rate on a new service. The bandwidth on a per gig service will be prorated together with the price on purchase. The prorata price and bandwidth is calculated according to the purchase date.
Service Changes (Applies to DSL, Fibre, Mobile and VoIP)
Service Changes are changes to the product, speed, combo or data purchased which changes the renewal of the service/s and are billed prorata.
For ease of understanding, services referred to as Upgraded services are services which result in a price increase on the next renewal and Downgraded services are services which result in a lesser billed renewal than the current service.
New services can only be set to Downgrade from the second month (month after activation) and will only apply from the following month (month 3).
Clients are not able to service change to an Upgraded service and then service change to a Downgraded service in the same month. The Upgraded service change must first be renewed before a Downgrade can be set for the next renewal.
Example: a Mobile Data service is service changed from 1GB to 5GB in August. The client will only be able to set a service change to a Mobile Data service smaller than 5GB during the month of September for October as the service must first be renewed on 1 September at 5GB before it can be downgraded.
Transfer of Data
Clients with capped services have the ability to transfer their unused data to another Codegain Client using an identical service (network, product/package and cap must be identical). Data is not transferable to non Codegain clients. Clients using Openserve Fibre and Openserve DSL Capped data will be able to transfer between the two service types. Uncapped data and RAIN data cannot be transferred.
Transferred data will be transferred in the state that it is currently in. If the data transferred is rollover data in month 2, it will transfer as month 2 rollover data to the client receiving the data. Transferred data retains the expiry date of the original purchase. The transfer of data must be done by signing into the Control Panel and providing the information required, data can only be transferred in predefined increments. Should we receive delayed usage reports which results in over usage of available data or a payment fails/is reversed for any reason, any transferred data will immediately be reversed. Transferred data is not transferable once the data is transferred the receiver of the data cannot transfer the data again. Clients can however transfer their available renewal or rollover data as many times as their available balance allows them. We reserve the right to refuse to allow the transfer of data for any client who we deem to be abusing the process.
An explanation of how Rollover Data works can be found under the section for the service type you have purchased.
Usage Notifications
Codegain will send an email/sms notification to all data users who have not opted out of receiving notifications when their data usage reaches 50%, 80% and 100% of the available total. These notifications will be based on the information available to us at the time of sending the notification from our system and as such cannot be guaranteed to be 100% accurate when received by the client.
Our banking details
Please note: When making a payment use the bank beneficiary Codegain DSL. Detailed instructions can be found on our website.
Debit Orders / Credit Cards
All transactions will be processed in South African Rands (ZAR). We accept credit card and debit order as methods of payment. We do not extend credit and payment is required up front, services will not be activated without payment.
As of 1 October 2014 we no longer accept Cash Deposit and Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) as a method of payment. Clients who are in the process of transitioning to Credit Card or Debit Order will continue to be bound by the conditions below until the transition to Credit Card or Debit Order has been completed:
All manual (cash deposit/EFT) monthly payments must reach us before 5pm on the last day of the month, failure to do so will result in all services being suspended until payment is received. Always use your six digit account number as your reference when making payment to avoid delays in your payment being allocated. Failure to make payment by the due date will result in your services being suspended. Failure to pay your hosting and or domain registration on the due date may result in your domain name being deleted by the registrar and become available to the public for re-registration. Failure to pay your ADSL Line services on the due date may result in your ADSL Line services being transferred to Telkom and Telkom will continue to bill you for this service.
Please email your Proof of Payment/Cash Deposit slip to payments@internet.co.za, please remember to use your six digit account number as your reference when making your payment.
Month End
Please note that the control panels will be offline between 19:00 and 00:30 on the last day of every month due to various monthly processing operations that need to be performed. Services that have reached 100% usage will be capped and you will not be able to top up until 00:30. Please ensure that all new purchases, service changes and top ups have been processed before 17:00 on the last day of the month to ensure that your request is actioned before 19:00.
Service Retention
During the processing of a cancellation you may be presented with an offer. Should the offer be accepted no changes to your service will be permitted until the offer period has ended, nor will the client be able to process a cancellation. Offers are extended on a once-off basis and cannot be extended. Offers are limited in terms of what is offered and the service or product the offer is presented on. Codegain may change or withdraw an Offer at any time without prior notice.
The maximum achievable speed on all DSL Data services is 40 Mbps. If you are using a Fibre Line and would like to achieve speeds higher than 40 Mbps, please consider using our Fibre Data services. The Acceptable Use Policy for all Uncapped services (including discontinued services) can be found here. By accepting the Terms and Conditions, you also agree to the afore-mentioned AUP. All uncapped services are billed within a calendar month (1st to last day of every month). Your proof of payment is to reach us before 5pm on the last day of the month to prevent service interruption on the 1st of each month.
Prepaid services are a once off purchase and are valid for a period of 12 months (1 year), you are able to top up the prepaid service with additional bandwidth of the same service type at any time, with each top up the validity of the prepaid service will be extended with an additional 12 months (1 year).
The capacity of the Network and available bandwidth is in no way guaranteed on any of the bandwidth based services offered by Codegain and as such we reserve the right to manage (shape, throttle, limit protocol through-put) all services in accordance with the available network capacity at all times. Our first priority will always be to provide the best possible experience to all of our users when/if it becomes necessary to manage services.
Just DSL
Although we endeavour to keep our coverage data as accurate as possible, we are reliant on the maps provided to us by Openserve, which may sometimes have slight inaccuracies. The advertised line speeds are a representation of the maximum possible throughput on that package. This speed is dependent on and varies from exchange to exchange as regulated by Openserve. In certain areas, some speeds are not achievable.
Due to Openserve infrastructure restrictions, some line speeds may not be available in your area. Check coverage in your area to see which packages are available in your area.
All Just DSL packages are subject to an Acceptable Use Policy. Just DSL accounts are locked to a single location. The location it gets locked to is the location you supply during sign up.
Regular Openserve copper line required to apply for a Just DSL package. A voice line, however, is not required.
Performance is subject to contention. This means that data speeds and latency may be affected by factors outside of Codegain's control or demand for bandwidth at any given time.

Based on a basic Telkom Landline rental package at R210pm. Actual monthly saving might differ depending on the landline package you are currently using.
Shaping and prioritisation
Just DSL packages are uncapped, unshaped and unthrottled. There are no usage thresholds so you can use as much data as you like, whenever you like. No throttling or shaping will be applied.
Setup fee
The setup fee is prescribed by Openserve, not Codegain. The setup fee is covered by Codegain as part of the launch promotion. Codegain reserves the right to change the promotion at any time. While stocks last. E&OE. Cancelling your current DSL line If you are an existing user of a DSL service and would like to Cancel your current data, line and Telkom phone line in order to move to the Just DSL service, then we recommend that you do not cancel your current service(s) until a Technician has been sent out to your premises to inspect and perform the installation. The Technician will either use the existing Infrastructure (copper and wall point) or install a completely new line, which will run simultaneously. You should only cancel your current DSL service, once the your new Just DSL service is live. This overlap of services is to ensure there is A.) No interruption of Internet Connectivity during the cross over and B.) Ensure that there are DSL ports available for your line in the Openserve local Exchanges. If you cancel your existing service on a full DSLAM and someone else's order comes up before yours, then you could lose the available port and your new Just DSL order cannot be completed – which could result in you losing your DSL Internet connection all together.
Capped Services
Rollover of Data
Unused data rolls over to the following renewal month (calendar month) for a period of 3 months. Rolled over data will be used first from the 1st of each month and thereafter the renewal data will be used. Rollover data consists of unused renewal data and unused top up data.
The most recent rolled over data will be used first, working on a system of last in first out.
EXAMPLE
The monthly renewal on a 10GB service is 10GB. In the last 3 months the following amounts of unused data have rolled over, March 1GB, April 2GB, May 2GB. On the 1st of June the service will renew and 10GB will be allocated together with the 4GB which has rolled over from March to May. Usage from the 1st of June will be deducted from the rolled over data from May then April then March, only once the rolled over data of 4GB has been exhausted will the renewal data of 10GB start being used. Should there be any unused data by the end of June, this data will rollover to July and the process will begin again. Should usage not reach the rolled over data for March it will fall away.
Rollover of Data is only applicable to services which are paid up to date and are renewed monthly. If your debit order or credit card payment fails for any reason you will not be able to use any Rollover Data until all services are paid up to date. Should you cancel your service any accumulated rollover data will fall away and cannot be reinstated if the cancellation date has passed and the service is restored.

Telkom ADSL Lines
By purchasing/applying for an ADSL Line service it is agreed that you accept and agree to the Terms & Conditions as stated below:
I/We hereby authorise Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd) to apply for a new convert, migrate, migrate back, convert back of my/our ADSL Line from Telkom SA Ltd or my current ADSL Line Supplier on behalf of Telkom:
In order to apply for an ADSL Line, you are required to have an active monthly billed telephone line with Telkom SA Ltd. ADSL Lines remain the property of Telkom SA Limited, installations and repairs remain their responsibility. ADSL Line sizes are supplied at the maximum stable speed available that is requested by the client, the Telkom SA Ltd network is supplied as a best effort network and therefore service cannot be guaranteed. Telkom SA Ltd. runs automated health checks on all ADSL Lines and might adjust the speed of your line in order to supply the best service possible. Should you experience complete downtime on your ADSL Line for a period exceeding 24 hours, a dispute will be logged with Telkom SA Ltd once the fault has been cleared requesting a credit for the period the line was down. Once this credit has been issued, the client's account will be credited accordingly. Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd) will on behalf of our client as far as possible deal with Telkom SA Limited on the client's behalf. Should a fault be logged with Telkom SA Ltd. on the client's ADSL Line which results in a Technician being dispatched and it is found that the fault is due to faulty equipment or incorrect setup of equipment by the client an Unnecessary Call-Out charge may be charged to the client's Codegain account. Any credit due to the client by Telkom SA Limited after the transfer of their ADSL Line to Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd) remains the responsibility of Telkom SA Limited and the client will need to converse with Telkom SA Limited directly to arrange this if not done automatically. The activation of a new line is dependent on the exchange being ADSL ready as well as ports being available, the activation of a new line, cancellation, upgrade/downgrade or transfer is dependent on Telkom SA Limited as such cannot be guaranteed by Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd). Telkom SA Limited do not allow two actions to be performed at the same time, we are therefore not able to perform a transfer and an upgrade/downgrade at the same time, we need to process each action separately.
In order to transfer an existing ADSL Line from Telkom/another ISP to Codegain DSL (PTY) Ltd it is necessary for the client to request their current ISP/Telkom to perform a migrate back application. Only once the migrate back application has been completed will Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd) be able to apply for the transfer. During this process of transfer between ISP's/Telkom the ADSL line will be in a suspension state with no ADSL access. The client has 30 days from the date of the migrate back application to request re-activation of the ADSL Line, if the re-activation is not done within 30 days, the ADSL Line will be completely cancelled. Applications received where the incorrect number has been supplied by the client will be charged for until the application has been cancelled by Telkom. No refund requests will be considered where the incorrect number was supplied on application.
The client will continue to be billed by Telkom SA Limited for the telephone/fax line rental and telephone/fax calls as well as any other services provided to them directly by Telkom. Should your line be suspended by Telkom SA Ltd, the ADSL service on your line will not be usable until Telkom SA Ltd have lifted the suspension on the line.
The ADSL line rental will be billed to the client by Codegain DSL PTY (Ltd) together with any other services provided to them. On completion of a new, transfer or upgrade/downgrade of an ADSL Line an invoice will be generated and debited via the clients nominated payment method.
Should your debit order payment against your bank account or credit card be returned (initial and monthly) unpaid the ADSL Line will be migrated back if the outstanding amount is not settled within 7 days. A migrate back will result in the ADSL Line being suspended and completely cancelled 30 days thereafter if the outstanding amount is not settled.
Payment for the rental of the ADSL Line is due before the 1st of every month, failure to pay will result in the ADSL line being migrated back. Should you approach Telkom directly to have your telephone number ported, the ADSL service on your line will automatically be cancelled. Please advise us of your intent to port (move) your telephone line to a new address so that we may arrange for the ADSL line to be moved together with your telephone line. Should an incorrect telephone number be provided for the ADSL line and the service is successfully activated, the client will be liable for any costs arising from the activation of the ADSL Line service.
Please also note that ADSL lines are not cancelled during the month but only at the end of the month, if you wish to have your line cancelled during the course of a month you will not be refunded any monies already paid for that month and the cancellation may be subject to early cancellation fees.
Please be aware that Telkom do not allow us to submit cancellations for a specific date. In an effort to avoid the cancellation or migrate back of the line taking place before the last day of the month we submit these applications on the last 2 working days of every month. It is possible that the cancellation/migrate back will be actioned before the last day of the month or only take place the following month.
Please note that as standard practice the up to 20Mbps VDSL service is activated by Telkom as an ADSL2+ service which has a lower upload speed than the VDSL service. Please contact us on 087 821 1100 or lines@internet.co.za should you wish to change to VDSL. We will then submit a request to Telkom to have the line changed to VDSL if possible. The upload speeds for up to 20mbps ADSL2+ are 1Mbps and the upload speed for up to 20Mbps VDSL is 2Mbps.
Queries pertaining to your ADSL line can be directed to lines@internet.co.za during office hours, if you are experiencing technical difficulties you can contact our 24 hour Support Line on 087 821 1100.

MTN Data
Purchases prior to 10 February 2022 are referred to as MTN Mobile Data, the service is however identical to the MTN Data product.
MTN Data
MTN data is a monthly billed service unless otherwise stated. MTN Data is subject to the same Terms and Conditions as ADSL data, for the purposes of Payment, Termination and Monitoring of Usage except where specified.
MTN Data is subject to the Regulation of Interception and provision of Communication-related information Act where applicable (RICA). When a purchase for MTN data is made it is deemed that you have read, understood and accepted all Terms & Conditions pertaining to the purchase.
If you have any queries please contact us before making any purchase for any service through this website, our 24 hour, 7 day a week support number is
087 821 1100.
Coverage and Signal Availability
Service delivery of MTN data is dependent on signal availability and demand for data services in any particular area. Codegain does not warrant or guarantee service for any specific areas, whilst every effort will be made to give clients an indication of possible service (via the Coverage Map). Codegain accepts no liability should the aforementioned map differ to actual data service experienced.
LTE
SIM cards provided by Codegain are automatically LTE enabled. Clients using their own MTN SIM for MTN Data purchased from Codegain will need to request the activation of LTE with MTN directly. Codegain no longer offer new activations on clients own sim cards.
An LTE capable device is required in order to obtain LTE speeds.
Purchasing of Data and Devices
Codegain reserves the right to limit the quantity of purchases made. Data and devices may only be purchased via credit card or debit order. EFT, Stop Order and Cash Deposits are not accepted. Your order will be shipped once your payment has been cleared.
All purchases of data are prorated on the day of purchase, both the data allocation and price are prorated. Should delivery of your SIM occur the month after it was purchased the data allocated on the SIM will be calculated from the date of purchase to the last day of the month it was purchased in.
Credit Card payments are cleared within 24 hours and Debit Order payments can take up to 10 working days to clear. Your order will be shipped on the first working day of your payment being cleared.
Rollover of Data
Unused data rolls over to the following renewal month (calendar month) for a period of 3 months. Rolled over data will be used first from the 1st of each month and thereafter the renewal data will be used. Rollover data consists of unused renewal data and unused top up data.
The most recent rolled over data will be used first, working on a system of last in first out.
EXAMPLE
The monthly renewal on a 10GB service is 10GB. In the last 3 months the following amounts of unused data have rolled over, March 1GB, April 2GB, May 2GB. On the 1st of June the service will renew and 10GB will be allocated together with the 4GB which has rolled over from March to May. Usage from the 1st of June will be deducted from the rolled over data from May then April then March, only once the rolled over data of 4GB has been exhausted will the renewal data of 10GB start being used. Should there be any unused data by the end of June, this data will rollover to July and the process will begin again. Should usage not reach the rolled over data for March it will fall away.
Rollover of Data is only applicable to services which are paid up to date and are renewed monthly. If your debit order or credit card payment fails for any reason you will not be able to use any Rollover Data until all services are paid up to date. Should you cancel your service any accumulated rollover data will fall away and cannot be reinstated if the cancellation date has passed and the service is restored.
Device Support
Technical support is provided for the setting up of the APN on the client's device. Codegain does not offer support on applications or set-up of device applications such as email.
"Topping-up" Data
MTN data clients are able to top up their data should they exhaust it at any time during the month. This top-up can be done via the Control Panel or Mobile Control Panel. Data that has over run the purchased data total will be deducted from your next top-up. Example, 1GB purchased, 1GB and 500mb used before capping takes place, top-up with 2GB, only 1GB and 500mb will be allocated.
Cancellation of Data
If a data product is cancelled the SIM card linked to the product including any unused data will be cancelled on the requested date. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the MTN Data service supplied by Codegain will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Once cancellation of the SIM has taken place it cannot be reactivated.
Failure to Pay
Should we not receive payment for data purchased the data together with the SIM provided will be cancelled. If the client has opted to use their own SIM, the data service will be discontinued on their selected SIM. Once the SIM has been cancelled it cannot be reactivated.
Mobile Devices, Warranty and Exchange/Return Policy
Certain Mobile Devices are only available to be purchased together with a Data product and cannot be purchased as a stand-alone product. Codegain has a 7 business day device return policy from date of purchase. Units returned must be returned as shipped (i.e same cosmetic condition and all shipped packaging, parts and accessories included) to be eligible for refund or exchange. Codegain will NOT arrange collection of units for exchange or return (or cover related costs). The client will be responsible for arranging for the unit to be delivered to Codegain or the Supplier. This will in no way impact the continued warranty provisions, and only relates to courier charges and logistics.
All Mobile Devices are covered by a product specific warranty as per the manufacturer's warranty, for the repair or replacement of faulty units. The warranty is limited to items covered by the manufacturer only. The warranty does not cover any damage deemed to have been caused by the client's misuse or mistreatment of the product (including damage due to improper return shipping of the product for exchange or return). Using incorrectly sized SIM cards and any physical damage as a result, is deemed to be improper use or abuse of the product. This effectively voids the manufacturer's warranty and therefore will not be exchanged or returned. This further extends to the use of unapproved accessories or modifications which effectively void the warranty on the product. In such circumstances, Codegain nor the Supplier will be liable to repair or replace any such devices and no further correspondence will be entered into once the device is deemed to be out of warranty.
Failure to abide by Codegain' policy can result in deductions to the claimed refund or rejection of claims for refund or exchange.
Device warranty claims for Xiaomi products are supplied and serviced by Mobile in Africa, warranty claims for these products will not be facilitated by Codegain unless otherwise stated.
The Warranty on Xiaomi Smart Phones is 12 months, the battery and accessories provided with the smart phone carry a 6 month Warranty.
Device warranty claims for Huawei products and devices will be handled by Codegain who will deal directly with the Supplier on the clients behalf.
The warranty on Huawei devices is 12 months.
In order to speed up warranty claims and repairs we are required to provide the purchaser's contact details to the suppliers. These details are provided to the supplier on condition that it may only be used to verify the purchase of the product and will not be used in any other manner.

VoIP
Voice over IP is an alternative means of making and receiving phone calls via a VoIP device (handset) or Application. VoIP calls are terminated by making use of an internet connection. The VoIP service sold by Codegain is a standalone service and does not include, the hardware, the physical internet connection or data required to use the service. The service can be used anywhere in South Africa and is not limited by geo-location. The quality of the calls made and received using the VoIP service will be determined by the internet connection being used.
Please refer to the table below which sets out the call termination rates. Voicemails received on your allocated number will be emailed to the provided email address.
The billing and call time for a new service purchased is Prorated. The service is a monthly billed service which will continue on a month to month basis until cancelled. Call time not depleted within the month of purchase will rollover to the following month for a maximum of 3 months before falling away.
Rollover Explained
As your call time is exhausted the unused call time from the oldest months accumulated call time will be made available. In order to use your rollover you must first deplete your monthly call time (allocated on the 1st of every month), once the monthly allocation is depleted your rollover call time will automatically become available.
EXAMPLE
You have not used up all your call time for June, July and August. In September you run out of call time, we will automatically allocate the unused call time from June to your service first. If you deplete this call time too, we will automatically allocate the unused call time from July and if you deplete this, we will automatically allocate the unused call time from August. If you reach the end of September and you only needed to use your rollover call time from June and July, the unused credits from August will be available to use in October. Rollover of Data is only applicable to services which are paid up to date and are renewed monthly. If your debit order or credit card payment fails for any reason all call time that has accumulated will fall away and will not be re-allocated on payment for the service. Should you cancel your service any accumulated call time will fall away.
Clients are able to purchase once off additional call time during the course of a month, this unused call time will rollover as the monthly call time does. Once your available call time has been exhausted you will not be able to make any outgoing calls until additional call time has been purchased. Clients are able to view their available Call Time balance in the Control Panel as well as via our Mobile App. Updating of additional call time, balances and service changes can be delayed by up to 15 minutes.
New purchases are subject to payment clearance as well as RICA. Call Time will only be available once payment has cleared and the RICA verification has been completed. Failure to pay for your service will result in the suspension of the service until payment in full has been received, you will not be able to make or receive any calls while the service is suspended. Should your debit order or credit card payment fail your service will be suspended immediately and only reactivated once payment has been received.
Cancellation of this service can be requested via the Client Control Panel before the 25th of each month. Once cancelled your allocated number will no longer be available and cannot be reactivated once cancelled.
Itemized billing can be downloaded via the Control Panel at any time. Calls made from an Codegain VoIP number to another Codegain VoIP number are zero rated - free of charge.
Our Call Rates are determined through continuous negotiations between our Upstream Providers and Telecom Carriers around the world and therefore are subject to change without notice and may vary from the listed prices in the call rate document.
Per second billing applies once the minimum call rate of R0.34 (incl vat) has been reached, please note that not all calls are subject to a minimum call rate, please refer to the rate sheet via the link below.

Clients are able to port their existing residential Telkom or Neotel numbers to Codegain. Supporting documents such as but not limited to ID Copy, Proof of payment for current account with the Operator you are porting away from as well as the latest invoice will need to be uploaded on signup.

Once porting has taken place for either a stand-alone telephone line or a telephone line with DSL on the client will have to contact the provider to cancel their unwanted services with them, Codegain will not automatically do this. Please note that there is a possibility of up to 24 hours of downtime during the porting process. The porting of numbers takes approximately 14 days to be completed from application to porting.

Codegain also reserves the right to examine the mail servers of any users using Codegain's mail servers for "smarthosting" (when the user relays its mail via a Codegain mail server to a mail server of its own) or similar services at any time to ensure that the servers are properly secured against public relay.
