These are the terms you accept by listing an eSIM catalog on eSIMradar, by calling our provider API, or by connecting to our MCP server. They apply to all three the same way — the MCP server is a different door into the same API, not a separate product with separate rules.
The short version: listing is free and automatic, and it is not a right. We decide what appears on this site and we can remove a provider, a plan, or a whole catalog whenever we judge that it should not be there. Paying us does not change that, because an affiliation buys a disclosed marker and nothing else. Send us accurate plans, do not pad your catalog, and do not abuse the API — and none of the rest of this page will ever concern you.
1Who these terms cover
Anyone who registers a provider account, submits a catalog over the REST API or the MCP server, registers a feed for us to pull, or is listed on this site as an eSIM provider. You accept them by doing any of those things. If you are integrating on behalf of a provider, you are agreeing on their behalf and you need their authority to do so.
2There is no guarantee of being listed
Self-onboarding is automated, so in practice a valid catalog goes live without anyone at eSIMradar looking at it. That is a convenience, not an entitlement. This site is an editorial product and we retain full discretion over what appears on it.
We may decline to list a provider or a plan, at any time, with or without a reason.
We may remove or hide a provider, a plan, a country, or an entire catalog, at any time, including after it has been live for a long time.
We do not guarantee any position, ranking, visibility, inclusion in a comparison, or appearance in any particular part of the site.
We do not guarantee traffic, clicks, conversions, revenue, or that your listing will be seen by anyone at all.
Where a removal is something you can fix — a validation failure, a dead purchase URL, an inaccurate price — we will say what it was, because a provider who can correct the problem is more use to our readers than one who is gone. Where it is a judgement about whether your catalog belongs here, the decision is ours and it is final.
3Your catalog has to be true
Everything you send is shown to travellers as fact and compared against every other provider on the same arithmetic. Inaccurate data does not just mislead a reader; it moves other providers down a ranking they earned. This is the obligation we take most seriously.
Every plan you submit must be a real plan that a customer can actually buy at the purchase URL you give us, at the price you give us.
The data allowance, validity period, price, currency and features must match what the customer gets. If the plan has conditions that change any of those, the plan as submitted is not accurate.
Purchase URLs must resolve, and must point at your own domain or a checkout you operate. We check this automatically and reject what fails.
If a plan is sold as unlimited and is subject to a fair-use cap or a speed reduction, submit the cap. We display it next to the word unlimited, because it is the number that decides whether the plan suits the buyer.
Keep it current. A price you have changed on your own site and not with us is an inaccurate listing, and repeated drift is grounds for removal.
4No spam listings
A comparison site is only useful if the list is a list of genuinely different options. Filling it with variations of the same product to occupy more rows is the fastest way to make it useless, so we treat it as a serious breach rather than a technicality.
No duplicate or near-duplicate plans — the same allowance, validity and price submitted more than once under different identifiers or titles.
No padding a catalog with trivial variants to inflate your plan count or your share of a results page.
No keyword stuffing, promotional language, prices, emoji or marketing claims in plan titles. A title names the plan; it is not ad copy.
No claiming coverage for countries a plan does not actually work in, and no listing a plan on destinations it does not serve.
If you resell another provider's inventory, list it as your own product with your own prices. Do not submit a catalog that is a copy of a provider we already list.
No bait pricing — a headline price that is not obtainable, or that requires a purchase, subscription or bundle you did not tell us about.
We may remove individual plans, cap how many of your plans appear on a page, or remove your catalog entirely. Which of those we choose is our decision, and we are not obliged to warn you first.
5Fair use of the API and the MCP server
The provider API and the MCP server exist so you can publish your own catalog without talking to anyone. Both are covered by the same rules, because they are the same surface reached two ways.
Your API key is yours. Do not share it, resell access to it, or use it on behalf of another provider. Keys are scoped to one provider's catalog and are revocable.
Respect the rate limits. Every response tells you how much budget is left and when it resets, so a well-behaved client never has to discover a limit by hitting it. Do not work around limits by rotating keys, addresses or accounts.
Write to your own catalog only. Do not attempt to read, modify or infer another provider's data through either interface.
Do not use the provider API or the MCP server to extract this site's comparison data, rankings, review corpus or price history in bulk. They are publishing interfaces, not a data feed of our work.
No security testing, fuzzing, load testing or automated probing without our written permission. Ask us — we would rather hear about a vulnerability than find out how you looked for it.
If you connect an AI agent through the MCP server, you are responsible for what it submits. An automated tool publishing wrong or spam listings is your breach of these terms, not the model's.
6What happens automatically
Most enforcement here is code, not judgement, and it runs on every submission. None of it is a penalty — it exists so a bad response from your side does not become bad data on ours.
Submissions are validated for schema errors, implausible prices, durations and allowances, unsupported currencies, unknown countries, and purchase URLs that do not resolve or do not match your domain. Rejected plans come back with the reason.
A sync is quarantined — nothing written — if most of the plans fail validation, or if an established catalog suddenly returns a fraction of its previous size. Your existing listing keeps serving until the next good submission, because stale and coherent beats fresh and wrong.
A catalog we cannot reach or that stops updating goes stale, and we may stop showing it. We would rather list nothing for you than list a price that is no longer real.
7Ranking is computed, and it is not for sale
Plans are ordered by price per gigabyte, calculated from the price and allowance you submit. The ordering is computed before we know who has a commercial relationship with us, and no payment, affiliation or partnership changes it.
An affiliation changes which plans we put forward, and we disclose each place on the site itself: eligibility for the gradient "top pick" marker, the "Our picks" shelf above a board, appearance in the featured partners rail, which is labelled as a paid placement wherever it appears, and the "Recommended" tab of a destination or region board. A provider with no relationship with us is listed, ranked, linked and compared identically, and its plans appear in full under the board's other three sorts.
8Your data, and what we do with it
You keep ownership of everything you send. We need permission to show it, and you need the right to send it.
You confirm you have the right to supply the plan data, brand name and URLs you send us, and that showing them does not infringe anyone else's rights. The same applies to any brand asset you send us later, if and when we accept one.
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to store, cache, display, reformat, translate and summarise that data on eSIMradar and in our own interfaces, for as long as you are listed and for a reasonable period afterwards in caches and archives.
Our presentation of your data — how it is ranked, grouped, labelled, compared and written about — is ours. You do not get approval over how your plans are displayed or what our editorial pages say about them.
9We do not promise the API will be up
The provider API and the MCP server are provided as they are, with no guarantee of availability, performance or backwards compatibility beyond what we publish. We may change, deprecate or withdraw endpoints and tools. Where a change would break a working integration we will try to give notice and a migration path, but building anything that depends on our uptime is at your own risk.
10Suspension, removal, and leaving
Either side can end this. Neither side owes the other a notice period.
We may revoke your API key and remove your listing for breach of these terms, or on our own judgement about what belongs on this site. Serious cases — deliberately false pricing, catalog spam, abuse of the API — are immediate and may be permanent.
You can leave at any time by submitting an empty catalog or asking us to delist you. Your plans stop appearing at the next rebuild; caches and search-engine copies take longer, and that part is not in our control.
Delisting removes your plans. Customer reviews already published about you are editorial content and are not removed on request, though we will correct anything demonstrably false.
11Changes to these terms
We will update this page as the API and the site change. Continuing to submit catalogs or keep a listing after a change means you accept the current version. Where a change materially affects what you are allowed to do, we will say so on this page rather than quietly editing a sentence.
Something here that does not fit how you work?
Tell us before you build around it. Most of these rules exist because of a specific way the data can go wrong, and if your catalog breaks one of them for a good reason we would rather know than remove you for it.
