These User Agreement Policy (“User Agreement”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Circledin that govern your use of the websites, applications, and other offerings from Circledin (collectively, the “Circledin Platform”).
Thank you for choosing Circledin as your trusted sharing platform. In this User Agreement, you’ll find important information about your wireless service including:
Our mission is to put money back into your pockets so that you’re not overpaying for a service again. Browse through all our Circles to find the right plan for you. Learn more about a Circle by clicking through plan details and reviewing what each plan offers. If you have any questions or concerns, contact Circledin support and a Customer Success Representative will be happy to assist.
You can search for Circles by using criteria like the carriers’ name, plan category, plan type, and Account Member verification status. You can also use filters to refine your search results. Search results are based on their relevance to your search and other criteria. Relevance considers factors like price, number of slots available, cancellation history, popularity, and more.
When you reserve a slot, you are agreeing to pay all charges for your plan selection including the mobile plan cost, prorated mobile plan costs, monthly recurring subscription fee, any incurred costs, and any activation fees or taxes associated with the carriers such as but not limited to Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T. When you receive confirmation that an Account Owner has approved you to join their plan, a contract for Account Owner Services is formed directly between you and the Account Owner. The cancellation policy and any other rules, standards, policies, or requirements identified in the plan detail or during checkout form part of your contract with the Account Owner.
Your Service terms and conditions are part of this Agreement. Your Plan on Circledin is on a month-to-month basis based on the billing cycle of the respective Circle you have joined. You are responsible for all charges you have incurred in your Service, such as but are not limited to international service plans or equipment protection services. Together, your Plan, features you use and any Optional Services you select are your Service. Your billing and shipping addresses, and your primary place of use, must be within the areas served by the network but are not limited to Verizon, T-Mobile, and AT&T owns and operates. We update your billing address on the Account profile you have joined, and Account Owners will see your billing address, name, and number associated with the line. Additionally, Account Owners will be able to see data usage & call logs. The current version of this Agreement and the terms and conditions for your Service are available online at joincircledin.com .
By using the Service, you are agreeing to every provision of this Agreement whether or not you have read it. This agreement also applies to all lines on your account and anyone who uses your Service.
You can cancel a line of Service, but you'll still have to pay for your Service through the end of your billing cycle. Once a SIM has been shipped out, you are locked into the first billing cycle. These charges may include activation fees from the carriers, prorated charges, as well as the first full cycle of Service, and any additional charges and fees that you have incurred on your line, such as but not limited to international calls, out-of-plan calls, etc. You are also agreeing that Circledin may place a hold on your account in the event that a bill has not been generated and you decide to leave or port out your number. See https://joincircledin.com/terms-of-use for complete details and information on cancelling your plan.
If for any reason you are unsatisfied with our Services, we will refund you 100% of the subscription cost for the month. We do not issue any refunds for any phone bill charges incurred by the member. The member is responsible for all charges including but not limited to their regular Service charges and add-ons associated with their line until the end of their billing period.
Members and Account Owners are responsible for any changes or modifications to their plan they agree to make via the Circledin Platform or direct Circledin customer service to make on their behalf, and agree to pay any additional amounts, fees, or taxes associated with any Circle Switch.
Accepting this Agreement means that you also agree to our Privacy Policy, available at https://joincircledin.com/privacy-policy, which may be updated from time to time. Third party services and applications that you may use on your device are your responsibility - you should review the applicable terms and privacy policy before you use, link to or download a service or application provided by a third party.

For example, this means: (i) you are responsible for not making any changes to the Account Owner’s plan, and (ii) you must act with integrity, treat others with respect, and comply with applicable laws at all times. If you are reserving a slot and opening a line for an additional member who is a minor, you must be legally authorized to act on behalf of the minor and you are solely responsible for the supervision of that minor and their actions.
You acknowledge there may be cases that carry inherent risks and agree that, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you assume the entire risk arising out of your access to and use of the Circledin Platform, including use of any other Account Owner Service, or any other interaction you have with other Members whether in person or online. This means it is your responsibility to investigate an Account Owner Service and Circle to determine whether it is suitable for you. For example, in rare instances the Account Owners may carry the risk of potentially losing your number or refusal to pay their monthly bill which would require transferring your Circle, you freely and willfully assume those risks by choosing to participate in those Account Owner Services.

Any terms, policies or conditions that you include in any supplemental contract with Members must: (i) be consistent with these Terms, our Policies, and the information provided in your Circle, and (ii) be prominently disclosed in your Circle description.
