Terms and Conditions of GTI Services

Global Telecom International (GTI) makes available for your use on its websites ("Website" or "Site") information, documents, software and products (collectively "Materials") and various services offered by GTI (collectively "Services") subject to the terms and conditions set forth ("Terms of Use"). By accessing or using this Site, which includes your access to or use of any Materials or Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not wish to be bound by these Terms of Use, you may not access or use the Site, Materials, or any of the Services. By using the Materials or Service, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use.

GTI may modify the Materials, Services and Terms of Use at any time without notice and such modifications shall be deemed effective immediately upon making such changes. Additionally, when using particular Services or Materials, you shall be subject to all posted agreements, guidelines or rules applicable to such Services or Materials that may contain terms and conditions in addition to those in the Terms of Use. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the Terms of Use.

BILLING Call times for each call are rounded up to the next whole minute and billed in full minute increments. Per call charges are rounded up to the next whole penny. All calls for which we receive answer supervision shall incur a minimum one-minute charge. GTI relies on answer supervision to determine whether and when a call has been answered. Answer supervision is a signal sent by the carrier connecting the call to indicate the start of call. Answer supervision is generally received when a call is answered; however, answer supervision may also be generated by voicemail systems, private branch exchanges, and interexchange switching equipment. Where no answer supervision is received, we will commence billing immediately following dial time unless the caller has terminated the call. You must notify us in writing of any disputed charges within fourteen(14) days of the charges or you will have waived your right to dispute the charges. If a destination is not priced on the GTI website it may still be able to be dialed. If you wish to know the tariff of any particular destination not listed, prior to dialing, write to us at the below address (CONTACT) and we will provide the rates to you on a destination-by-destination request basis. If you are not an existing client your request will be limited to five (5) destinations.

SERVICE CHARGES, SURCHARGES, CONNECTION FEES AND CANCELLATION GTI reserves the right to charge a monthly service charge on pre-paid accounts not being fully utilised. Calls to or from hotels, pay phones and cellular phones may incur surcharges. If you are calling from a hotel, please check with the hotel for any additional charges that may be applied to your call. GTI reserves the right to impose a $0.50 per minute surcharge on any use of the GTI network to access the calling card services of any other telecommunications provider. All pre-paid accounts are accepted on a non-refundable basis. The funds in your account may expire unless you make at least one paid call every 30 days at GTI's discretion. Any unlimited calling plans are restricted to destinations for premium services. Premium services are defined as numbers with a surcharge for use (anything less than a landline). Unlimited calling plans are also restricted for 'normal' personal use. GTI reserves the right to terminate accounts or demand prepayment for unlimited calling plan abuse at GTI's discretion.

Communications and support services billed monthly require full payment within 30 days of the service provided and twelve months cancellation to the contact address below.
