2. THE SERVICES
ZenMinutes works hard to offer you cheap international calling services.
The calling services will allow you to make calls to conventional telephone numbers around the world (subject to your contact being in an area or jurisdiction which we at the time support). The calling services enable you to place voice calls over the public switched telephone network, terminating on both fixed and mobile telephony networks. In more detail, ZenMinutes is using Voice over IP technology as well as virtual local landline numbers and is routing parts of the call over the internet. The calling services are only available from smartphones (i.e iOS and Android) with specific operating systems, as notified at the moment of app download or later on, with the occasion of various app updates. In some cases it is possible to originate a call via Mobile Data Connection (3G/4G) or WiFi. We can offer termination in several countries around the world, but we can’t guarantee that we support termination in all countries or to all phone numbers or that we always will support termination to any particular country or phone number. We make no representation that our Services are available for use in any particular location. Note that certain parts of the call will be routed over the Internet.
These communication services and all other services, products, features, functionalities and/or interactions as set forth in this document or presented on the Site or otherwise provided or made available to you by ZenMinutes from time-to-time, as well as the App and the Site shall collectively be referred to in these Terms of Service as the 'Services'.

Subscriptions to call packages are automatically renewed unless discontinued by you prior to the occurrence of the new subscription period. You can cancel your subscription at any time by accessing your Account.
Payment amounts for automatic recurring transactions may vary depending on the exchange rate between the default currency, United States Dollar (USD) and the currency You selected for your Account’s display. We regularly update the exchange rates (on a daily basis) but we reserve the right to change these exchange rates at any time without notice in case there are important fluctuations on the market.
