Refund policy

eSIMGlobe: Refunds within 14 days of purchase if the eSIM hasn't been activated or used; defective eSIMs get a replacement or full refund, processed within 10 business days.

Gigapanda: No refunds for buyer error (wrong destination, incompatible/locked device). Customer-initiated cancellation before activation: refunded minus a 5% payment-gateway fee + $5 processing fee. Activates on first use; no changes without 48h notice. Colombia/Argentina buyers get statutory withdrawal rights before install/activation.

Validity starts

eSIMGlobe: Some plans start immediately after eSIM installation, others only when the device connects to a supported network in the destination country; the rule is set per plan.

Gigapanda: Activates on first data connection after installing the eSIM. Validity ends when data runs out or the plan's duration ends; an unused eSIM is deleted from their systems after 6 months of inactivity.

Fair-use limit

eSIMGlobe: Unlimited plans include a high-speed data allowance (commonly around 1GB) per cycle, after which speed may drop to as low as 512 Kbps until the next reset; exact allowance/reset/speed vary by plan and appear on the product page.

Gigapanda: Unlimited plans are subject to fair use: after the daily high-speed allowance, speed is reduced for the rest of that day. Several fixed-GB plans also throttle (not cut off) after their allowance — stated per plan.

Top-ups & rollover

eSIMGlobe: Product pages flag 'Top Up Available: Yes' for supported plans, letting you add data to the existing eSIM without reinstalling; not every plan supports top-up.

Gigapanda: Not offered — every plan is a one-time purchase with no top-up option (confirmed false on every plan in their feed).

Lost device / reinstalling

eSIMGlobe: eSIMGlobe's Terms & Conditions list 'the customer deleted the eSIM after installation' as a case where refunds won't be granted -- effectively meaning a deleted eSIM isn't reissued or refunded.

Gigapanda: If the eSIM is deleted from the device, a new one must be purchased — the system does not allow free replacements.

Billing currency

eSIMGlobe: All eSIMGlobe prices and checkout are shown and charged in USD; no alternate billing currency option is offered on the site.

Gigapanda: Feed prices are in USD; their own checkout shows the buyer's local currency and adds applicable local taxes based on the billing postal code.
