These Delivery Terms and Conditions form part of the entire contractual Agreement between Etisalat and you including the General Terms and Conditions (Consumer and Business) regarding delivery of Etisalat products or services to customers based on their order placed using a digital communication channel (the “Delivery Service”). They do not apply in instances whereby the customers purchase a product or service in Etisalat business centers, outlets or other physical locations, where such products or services are handed over to the customer immediately.
1. Delivery
1.1 These Delivery Terms and Conditions govern the delivery of Etisalat products or services, which may comprise devices, mobile SIMs or a combination of a device and a SIM in case of certain mobile services, or any other products or services as may be offered by Etisalat. For avoidance of doubt, these Delivery Terms and Conditions do not apply to the delivery of SWYP SIMs.
1.2 In general, Etisalat will endeavor to deliver your order within 24 hours from the time of placing the order and subject to your confirmation on the delivery schedule. Please note that for any delivery our delivery appointment center may call you to confirm your order and to schedule the delivery appointment, or to reschedule such delivery appointment subject to capacity concerns, if and where applicable. If we are not able to meet the delivery appointment due to circumstances beyond our control, we will contact you for rescheduling a new delivery appointment.
1.3 Delivery within 24 hours excludes Fridays, public holidays, deliveries to remote or difficult to reach areas or islands where no roadway is available, or to certain locations governed by security regime that requires special access approvals.
2. Cash-on-Delivery order
2.1 If we are not able to reach you for scheduling your delivery appointment in 3 days from the date of order, we will cancel your order. You can place a new order again as per your need.
2.2 If you are not available at your given address to accept delivery of your order, Etisalat will try to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 3 days. If you are still not reachable, we will cancel your order.
3. Pre-payment order

3.2 If you are not available at your given address to accept delivery of your order, Etisalat will try again to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 14 days. If you are still not reachable, we will cancel your order and process the refund.
4. Ownership

5. Payment & Identification
5.1 For smart pay purchases (i.e. involving an instalment plan for any of the Etisalat products or services), you will have to present to the Etisalat delivery agent the same credit card as was used for placing the order and making the payment (which should belong to the same person making the order) on the Etisalat website for security validation. For avoidance of doubt the identity the person receiving the delivery from Etisalat must be the same person as indicated on the credit card as the credit card holder. Failing to present such credit card, the delivery agent will not be able to complete the delivery. Etisalat will try again to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 14 days. If you are still not reachable, we will cancel your order and process the refund.

In case of any service based on a SIM card, you will have to complete the applicable mobile registration process as required by the legal and regulatory framework in the UAE including providing your biometric data or any other information or documents for (electronic) mobile registration. Failure to submit to such mobile registration requirements will prevent Etisalat from completing the delivery. Etisalat will try to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 14 days. If you are still not able to fulfill all the mobile registration requirements, your order will be deemed cancelled and we will process the refund.
5.3 If you refuse to accept your confirmed order at the time of delivery, your order will be deemed cancelled and we will process the refund.
5.4 You can call us and change the delivery address before your order has been dispatched for delivery.
5.5 We will not be responsible for any failure to carry out, or delay in carrying out, any of our obligations of delivering your order that is caused by circumstances outside our control such as fraudulent transaction, failure of the telecommunications networks, it being impossible to use shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport, or any law or regulation which has a significant effect on our ability to deliver your order.

1. Delivery
1.1 These Delivery Terms and Conditions govern the delivery of Etisalat products or services, which may comprise devices, mobile SIMs or a combination of a device and a SIM in case of certain mobile services, or any other products or services as may be offered by Etisalat. For avoidance of doubt, these Delivery Terms and Conditions do not apply to the delivery of SWYP SIMs.
1.2 In general, Etisalat will endeavor to deliver your order within 24 hours from the time of placing the order and subject to your confirmation on the delivery schedule. Please note that for any delivery our delivery appointment center may call you to confirm your order and to schedule the delivery appointment, or to reschedule such delivery appointment subject to capacity concerns, if and where applicable. If we are not able to meet the delivery appointment due to circumstances beyond our control, we will contact you for rescheduling a new delivery appointment.

5.1 For smart pay purchases (i.e. involving an instalment plan for any of the Etisalat products or services), you will have to present to the Etisalat delivery agent the same credit card as was used for placing the order and making the payment (which should belong to the same person making the order) on the Etisalat website for security validation. For avoidance of doubt the identity the person receiving the delivery from Etisalat must be the same person as indicated on the credit card as the credit card holder. Failing to present such credit card, the delivery agent will not be able to complete the delivery. Etisalat will try again to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 14 days. If you are still not reachable, we will cancel your order and process the refund.

In case of any service based on a SIM card, you will have to complete the applicable mobile registration process as required by the legal and regulatory framework in the UAE including providing your biometric data or any other information or documents for (electronic) mobile registration. Failure to submit to such mobile registration requirements will prevent Etisalat from completing the delivery. Etisalat will try to reschedule the appointment for delivery at regular intervals for the next 14 days. If you are still not able to fulfill all the mobile registration requirements, your order will be deemed cancelled and we will process the refund.
5.3 If you refuse to accept your confirmed order at the time of delivery, your order will be deemed cancelled and we will process the refund.
5.4 You can call us and change the delivery address before your order has been dispatched for delivery.
5.5 We will not be responsible for any failure to carry out, or delay in carrying out, any of our obligations of delivering your order that is caused by circumstances outside our control such as fraudulent transaction, failure of the telecommunications networks, it being impossible to use shipping, aircraft, motor transport or other means of public or private transport, or any law or regulation which has a significant effect on our ability to deliver your order.
