1. Service Description

GoldPrice SMS Service provides daily Tanzania gold price updates via SMS to subscribed customers. The service aims to deliver current market prices at approximately 8:00 AM Tanzania Time every day.

Important Note

While we strive to deliver gold price updates daily at 8:00 AM, we cannot guarantee 100% delivery on all days due to factors beyond our control including but not limited to data source delays, technical errors, or network issues.

2. Subscription and Payment

  • Subscription fee is TSh 1,000 per month, payable in advance
  • Payment is processed through mobile money services (M-Pesa, Airtel Money, Tigo Pesa, etc.)
  • Subscription automatically renews monthly unless cancelled
  • All fees are non-refundable once service has been activated

3. Refunds Policy

Refunds Policy

Due to the digital and instantaneous nature of our Gold Price SMS Service, all subscription fees are non-refundable.

Once payment is confirmed through AzamPay and your subscription is activated, the service begins immediately and we cannot recall the delivered SMS alerts. Therefore, we do not provide refunds for:

  • Subscription fees once service has been activated
  • Partial unused portions of subscription periods
  • User-initiated cancellations mid-billing cycle
  • Cases where users change their mind after subscription
Exception Process

If you believe there has been an error in billing or you are experiencing persistent technical issues preventing you from receiving our SMS alerts, please contact our customer support at info@ties.co.tz or +255 748 121 594. We will investigate the matter and, at our sole discretion, determine if a service credit or refund is appropriate.
