8. Pricing, Billing, and Payment

8.1. Current pricing is published at https://sibell.in/precios and/or in the particular commercial contract signed with the Client. Pricing is expressed by default in Colombian pesos (COP).

8.2. Billing modalities:

  • Pay-per-use (Starter): consumption per verification with automatic charge to prepaid balance.
  • Subscription (Growth / Business / Scale): monthly recurring charge for the plan, with fixed SMS quota and overages billed by consumption.
  • Enterprise: personalized agreement.

8.3. Payments are processed through the Bold payment gateway or another enabled provider. Acceptance by Bold or another provider does not constitute final approval by Sibell.

8.4. Top-ups and prepaid balance: top-ups are credited to the Client's balance. SMS consumption is deducted from the balance according to the current rate.

8.5. Non-refundable balance: except as provided in clause 9, unused balance is non-refundable in cash. It will have a validity of twenty-four (24) months from the date of the top-up; after this period without consumption, the balance will be considered expired.

8.6. Taxes: pricing does not include applicable taxes (VAT, withholdings, GMF, etc.), unless expressly stated otherwise. The Client is responsible for complying with their own tax obligations.

8.7. Default: payments not made on time will generate default interest at the maximum legal rate in force in Colombia, without prejudice to Sibell's right to suspend the Service.

8.8. Pricing modifications: Sibell may modify pricing with minimum notice of thirty (30) calendar days. Continued use of the Service after notice implies acceptance of the new pricing.

9. Refunds and Cancellation

9.1. Trial: the Client may try the Service free of charge under the published Trial Plan conditions. The Trial creates no obligation to continue.

9.2. Billing errors: if the Client identifies a billing error, they must notify soporte@sibell.in within thirty (30) days; Sibell will review and, if applicable, adjust the balance or refund.

9.3. Services rendered: SMS actually sent, verifications processed, and consulting services actually rendered are non-refundable, except in case of attributable breach by Sibell.

9.4. Voluntary termination: the Client may cancel the Service at any time from the Dashboard. Cancellation creates no right to refund of unused balance, except as provided in 9.5.

9.5. Termination for Sibell breach: if Sibell incurs in material breach of its obligations and does not remedy within fifteen (15) business days following notification, the Client may terminate the contract and demand pro-rated refund of unused balance.

10. Service Level Agreement (SLA)

10.1. Sibell commits to a target availability level of the Service of 99.5% monthly, measured over the total time of the calendar month.

10.2. SLA exclusions:

  • Scheduled maintenance announced at least forty-eight (48) hours in advance.
  • Unavailability attributable to external providers (SMS operators, payment gateways, cloud providers) when Sibell has activated its documented failover and mitigation mechanisms.
  • Force majeure or fortuitous events (clause 17).
  • Misuse or incorrect configuration by the Client.
  • Failures in public networks (internet) beyond Sibell's reasonable control.

10.3. Credits: if monthly SLA falls below 99.5%, the Client will be entitled to a credit in balance equivalent to 10% of the monthly Plan value for each 0.5% of non-compliance, with a cap of 50% of the monthly Plan value. Credits are non-refundable in cash. To claim, the Client must write to soporte@sibell.in within thirty (30) calendar days following the affected month.

10.4. SMS delivery: since final SMS delivery depends on mobile carriers, Sibell does not guarantee a 100% delivery rate and will not be responsible for non-delivery attributable to carriers, mobile network conditions, End User devices, or force majeure. Sibell does monitor delivery rate and applies failover policies between providers when degradations are identified.

This obligation subsists for two (2) years after contract termination and does not apply to information that (i) is in the public domain without fault of the receiving party, (ii) was known beforehand, (iii) was developed independently, or (iv) must be disclosed by order of a competent authority.

Sibell may modify these Terms at any time. Substantive changes will be notified by email to the Client's primary contact and published on sibell.in with at least fifteen (15) calendar days in advance.
