Cell C: Starter Pack Activation shall be deemed to have taken place when the SIM Card relating to a Starter Pack sold to a Customer has been activated on the Cell C Network; and not less than R25 (twenty five Rand) excluding VAT is spent by a combination of either chargeable outgoing Voice calls and/or outgoing Data, SMS and/or MMS usage from the Subscriber Number associated with the aforementioned SIM Card, within a period of not more than 90 (ninety) calendar days from the first chargeable outgoing Voice call or outgoing SMS, MMS or Data usage.

2. Port bonuses support rules as per the respective networks (subject to change at any time by the network)The following rules apply for port bonus support:
2.1. All Networks:
2.1.1. Port bonus 1: This will be achieved when a customer has been successfully ported to an Awesim sim card and that customer has dialled out or spent R 150 (Ex-VAT) worth of airtime. This port bonus is at the discretion of Awesim and the ported sim needs to comply with the REAL customer requirements as stated below.
3. RICA Rules as per the respective networks (subject to change at any time by the network) as well as Awesim:3.1. All networks have set a certain time frames for an automated reversal of a RICA if the sim has not been used within a certain time period. This is not fully disclosed by either network and is within their control.3.2. For all sim cards there is an overriding rule in place: A sim card will have 90 days from the date of RICA to perform a successful recharge (any amount or type) or usage to qualify for an activation payment, if an activation is subsequently achieved. The factor to determine this (being usage or recharge) is dependent on the reporting that is received by Awesim from the respective network. This is to prevent Pre-RICA on the sim cards. Once the sim has made the 90 day rule as mentioned above, will still have the full period (defined in 1.1 to 1.4 above) for the sim to load and spend the required airtime to activate.4. Real Customers and Fraudulent ActivationsA real customer is a customer defined as, but not limited to, a customer who:
• Is a real person who is not the agent/dealer/distributor and is a bona fide paying customer who will be using the sim card for access to the respective network’s services.
• Performs continuous recharges on a regular basis after the first recharge.
• Performs continuous subsequent recharges after the required amount (value) of recharges needed to activate the respective sim card has been loaded and used by the customer as per the activation criteria.

If it is determined otherwise Awesim will have the right to withhold all support related to that sim as well as all other support related to that agent/dealer.
Awesim will, at its own discretion, determine whether a sim card that has been distributed by the agent/dealer has been done so fraudulently, irrespective of whether the above activation rules have been reached or not.

Bundle daily allocations will be valid for 24hrs from 00:01 to midnight the same day. The sim needs to have been RICA’ed to a valid real customer and connected before the bundle is loaded. These free bundles do not count towards any spend/usage needed to activate a Cell C sim card.

A stock code is a specific type of sim card (such as a Telkom LTE sim) whereas a stock category covers any type of sim for that network such as Telkom (exclusions may apply). If an agent cannot understand what sims form part of the competition, they will need to contact Awesim to clarify this.
• If an agent does qualify for the competition and they have registered for the competition, they will be issued a target for the calendar month. The target will be based on the specific stock as per the competition description as explained above. The target is measured by how many of that type of sim card both connects (as per the connection definition of the network) and then loads airtime within that same calendar month. Over and above this, the sim card is required to become a REAL customer for it to count towards the target.
• The sims that recharge must become Real Customers (see General T&C’s).
• Any sims cards loaded with minimal airtime only to qualify as a recharged connection will be excluded. These can be excluded AFTER or DURING the month even though they may have been shown as being counted towards the target as recharged sim on the USSD reporting already.
• Awesim reserves the right to include whichever agents they deem appropriate for the competition as well as change targets during a month if they deem there is a sufficient enough reason for this to be done.
• Accounts flagged as being on hold or fraudulent will not be eligible for this incentive.
• All point Rewards will be issued on the 15th of the month after the competition ends.
• Awesim relies on the networks to provide up to date data in order for Awesim to display this data to the agents on a daily basis. The data displayed to the agents daily is by no means final and will only be finalised on the day of payment for the winners. Awesim reserves the right to restate the data in order to align correctly with any network data that was incorrect or incomplete or inaccurate.
• All other Awesim Terms and conditions continue to apply in addition to the above.
