These Terms & Conditions ("Terms") govern your access to and use of AfriNum's digital-number and SMS verification platform ("AfriNum", "we", "us"). By creating an account or using our services, you agree to these Terms.
Account & Eligibility
- You must provide accurate and complete information when registering for an AfriNum account.
- You are responsible for protecting your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account.
- You must not create or use multiple accounts to bypass restrictions, promotions, limits, or eligibility requirements.
- AfriNum may restrict accounts that are found to be involved in abuse of the platform.
- Account deletion, once confirmed, is permanent.
Account deletion
AfriNum provides an account deletion option from your account Settings page. Before your account is deleted, you will be warned that the action is permanent and asked to confirm it.
Permanent Account Deletion
Deleting your AfriNum account is permanent. Active rentals/orders will be cancelled, your wallet balance will be removed, and associated account records will be deleted according to our deletion process. Once deleted, you will no longer be able to access the account, and there is currently no backup or recovery system available to restore it.
Wallet & Payments
- You can fund your AfriNum wallet through the payment methods made available on the platform.
- Payments are processed through our applicable payment provider(s). AfriNum does not store your full payment-card details; card information is handled directly by the payment provider.
- Wallet credit is used to purchase or rent available digital numbers on the platform.
Payment succeeded but wallet balance wasn't updated?
If a payment is successful but your wallet balance is not reflected, please contact AfriNum Support with your payment/transaction reference and any other requested details. Our support team will investigate and aim to resolve the issue within 48 hours. We are unable to guarantee instant resolution.
Number Rentals
- Numbers are provided subject to availability, and available numbers are shown to you before a rental is successfully completed.
- Availability may differ between operators.
- Rental duration depends on the specific rental product you select.
- A rented number is not owned by you. AfriNum or its providers may reclaim or expire a number once its rental period ends.
- You must use rented numbers lawfully and in accordance with these Terms.
Charges & Number Provisioning
You are only charged once a number is successfully available and provisioned to you.
- If a number is unavailable, you are not debited for that failed rental. The interface will inform you that the number is unavailable, and you may be instructed to try another operator.
- Once a number has been successfully provisioned, your wallet is debited for the applicable rental price.
SMS / OTP Delivery
- AfriNum provides access to SMS messages associated with your rented numbers.
- SMS delivery depends on telecom networks, number providers, and other third-party infrastructure outside our direct control.
- AfriNum cannot guarantee that every SMS or OTP will arrive, and delivery can be delayed or affected by external systems.
Cancel & Refund
- If a number has been successfully provisioned and the expected SMS/OTP does not arrive, you may use the Cancel & Refund option in the inbox, where eligible.
- When a valid cancellation/refund is successfully processed, the number is cancelled and the applicable amount is refunded to your wallet according to our refund process.
- Once an SMS/OTP has successfully arrived for a rental, the Cancel & Refund option is no longer available for that completed delivery.
- If the Cancel & Refund action fails or cannot be completed, please contact AfriNum Support. We will investigate and aim to resolve the issue within 48 hours.
Refund Policy
All refunds are issued as credit to your AfriNum wallet.
Failed number rental
If the system cannot successfully provision an available number, you are not charged for the failed rental.
Number provisioned but SMS doesn't arrive
You may use Cancel & Refund where the option is available. If successfully processed, the rental is cancelled and the applicable amount is refunded to your wallet.
SMS successfully received
The rental is considered successfully fulfilled for SMS delivery purposes, and the Cancel & Refund option is no longer available.
Refund/cancellation technical failure
Contact Support with your order/rental/payment details. We investigate and target a resolution within 48 hours.
