Customer Rights & Transparency Guide Before Ordering Ref:

Before you order — understand the information and rights that should be clear

This page does not replace formal policies or legal terms. It is a practical guide to what to review before ordering and how to use support, privacy and complaint paths.

Regulatory Disclosure & Transparency Framework:

An independent educational guide by TayfConnect. It does not constitute legal advice and makes no claim that TayfConnect is the licensed network operator (Unconfigured Provider is the licensed carrier).

Authority: Compliance & Consumer Protection Directorate
Effective: 2026-01-01
Review: 2026-12-31
Governed Framework
Aligned with CST frameworks, Saudi E-Commerce Law, and PDPL
Pillar 1: Commercial Transparency

The full commercial picture matters more than the headline price

Review current price, VAT, post-offer pricing, offer period, commitment, equipment, installation fees and eligibility conditions.

Price Clarity

Current Rate vs Renewal Rate

Promotional offers may discount initial billing cycles. Always verify the standard regular rate applicable upon promo expiry.

VAT Inclusive

15% VAT Inclusivity

All prices are displayed inclusive of statutory 15% VAT in compliance with ZATCA and CST transparency guidelines.

Contract Terms

Commitment Term & Cancellation

Certain packages involve 12 or 24-month commitments in exchange for free hardware or setup. Clarify early-exit terms upfront.

Hardware Terms

Equipment Ownership & ONT Fees

Confirm whether the router/modem is gifted, leased, or bundled subject to safe equipment return upon service termination.

Field Dispatch

Installation & Dispatch Fees

Most fiber tiers offer free initial installation. We disclose if non-standard in-home cabling incurs any extra technician fees.

Eligibility Check

Eligibility & New Subscriber Rules

Specific promotional rates apply exclusively to new subscribers or carrier port-in orders. We confirm eligibility prior to submission.

Pillar 2: Coverage Qualification Truth

Coverage should be an explainable result

If availability is not confirmed, it should remain pending or require review rather than being silently turned into “available.”

Confirmed Available

The physical FTTH drop box is active on your building or outdoor 5G signal shows verified high-confidence qualification.

Pending Feasibility Review

Neighborhood has coverage but the terminal box requires field review or port availability check. Never auto-marked as active.

Alternative Recommended

If fiber infrastructure is absent, high-speed 5G Home HomeFi is recommended as an immediate plug-and-play alternative.

Line Coverage vs In-Home Wi-Fi Coverage

Broadband coverage signifies fiber speed reaching your ONT router. Indoor Wi-Fi performance throughout distant rooms depends on home layout and concrete walls, potentially requiring Mesh Wi-Fi extenders.

Pillar 3: Clear Demarcation of Roles

Know who owns each part of the journey

The platform manages the steps within its actual scope, while network, installation, and activation services depend on the licensed carrier. See the relationship page for current details.

Pillar 4: Order Journey Transparency

You should be able to understand the next step

A request should have a status, owner and next step. If information or a document is required, it should be visible instead of leaving the request unexplained.

STAGE 01 Platform Care

Intake & Verification

We verify your address, drop box serial plate, and selected speed tier for eligibility and pricing accuracy.

STAGE 02 Joint Coordination Team

Field Dispatch Scheduling

We contact you to agree on the optimal appointment window for the on-site technician visit.

STAGE 03 Certified Carrier Technician

Installation & Speed Verification

Fiber cable pull, ONT installation, live speed test verification, and secure OTP customer sign-off.

STAGE 04 Platform & Carrier Care

Activation & Continuous Care

Billing begins solely upon verified activation. Customer care remains reachable for any ongoing assistance.

Pillar 5: Personal Data Protection

Your data should have a clear path

The Privacy Policy explains actual processing, and the dedicated privacy-request path supports applicable rights such as access, correction, obtaining a copy or destruction/deletion subject to lawful retention and exceptions.

Saudi PDPL

Right of Access

Knowing what personal data is collected, how it is processed, and authorized receiving entities.

Data Accuracy

Right to Correction & Completion

Rectifying inaccurate details, completing missing information, or updating records promptly.

Portability

Right to Obtain a Copy

Requesting an electronic, readable copy of your personal data where technically feasible.

Retention Limits

Right to Erasure & Destruction

Requesting destruction of data after its purpose expires, subject to mandatory statutory retention rules (CST and tax laws).

Pillar 6: Request Path & Governance

Dedicated Privacy Request Path & Governance Rules

To exercise your data rights, TayfConnect provides a path strictly isolated from sales and general support. Requests are governed by secure identity verification and a 30-day statutory response window with zero fees for legitimate requests.

Isolated Queue

Dedicated Privacy Intake

An independent operational mailbox isolated from sales leads and field dispatch queues for strict confidentiality.

Zero Unneeded PII

Identity Verification Standard

Verifying the requester’s identity and authority directly without requesting superfluous sensitive documents or passwords.

30-Day SLA

Statutory 30-Day Response SLA

Processing and responding within a maximum of 30 calendar days under the PDPL, with advance formal notice if complex criteria require a lawful extension.

Statutory Mandate

Lawful Retention & Exceptions

Clear disclosure of records exempt from immediate erasure due to statutory mandates (such as CST telecommunications compliance and ZATCA tax invoicing rules).

Official Intake Dedicated to privacy and data protection inquiries only

You can opt out of promotional communications at any time with a single click or by notifying our privacy path without affecting core service.

Pillar 7: Support, Complaints & Escalation

General support is different from a formal complaint

Use Support for questions and operational help. Use the dedicated complaint path when you need a formal reference, status and tracked resolution process.

Dedicated to quick questions, order tracking, and setup troubleshooting without formal ticket overhead.

Direct Phone & WhatsApp
