General

1. TextOver will do its best to ensure successful delivery of all messages. Successful delivery depends on additional parties such as ISP's, telcos and network operators, hence TextOver cannot guarantee delivery. Users understand that in the process of attempting to send a text, network resources are used and expenses are incurred. Therefore, TextOver have to charge for every text message attempted. Users are responsible to ensure all mobile numbers are valid and correct.

2. We may ask new users to provide proof of identity to ensure our service is safe from fraud and chargebacks. If requested, you will have 7 days to provide proof of identity by faxing a copy of your passport, clearly showing your name and photograph. If we do not receive proof of identity, you will be forced to remove your credit.

3. TextOver will not attempt to resend rejected messages, however some networks may try resending messages prior to providing a failed delivery report to TextOver. In such a case, the TextOver user will only be charged for the first attempt.

4. TextOver will provide a secure management and administration site where TextOver users can view the content of each message sent, and other associated information such as rejected messages, current balance, etc. From time to time, this reporting and admin site may be taken offline without notice for maintainence.

5. Any written notices which are required under this agreement or any TextOver agreement will be made via email.

6. TextOver may from time to time send postal and email newsletters which users must agree to receive. These newsletters can contain important service information, aswell as advertisements for third party services.

Pricing & Credit Expiry

7. The price of each text message depends on the network you are sending to. Prices are displayed on the Pricing page of our website, or agreed via written contract. In the event that a network(s) introduce reciprocal charges, TextOver retains the right to increase the price need per message, for that specific network(s). If the recipient is roaming, TextOver has to support both the home network and the foreign network for successful deliveries. Prices are reviewed daily and are subject to change without notice. In the event a change larger than 20% of the price when credit was purchased, the user will be entitled to request a refund of unused credit.

8. When a user credits their account, we will convert the credit into UK Sterling at the rate provided to us by our Card Processing Company. All account balances will be kept in UK Sterling and each SMS will be charged at the current UK Sterling rates. All US Dollar and Euro Dollar rates are listed on the website for informational purposes only and TextOver has no legal obligation to observe those rates. Users who are not crediting their account in UK Sterling agree and understand that the currency rates may affect their account balance.

9. Any credit purchased after the 16th January 2006 will have a 3 month validaty period from the invoice/billing date. Any credit not used within that time will expire and no refund provided.

10. Any setup fees paid are non-refundable.

11. All prices exclude VAT unless otherwise stated.

12. If this service is suspended due to complaints related to the TextOver user, contractual or payment issues, or any other reason which the TextOver user is responsible for, the expiry period will continue to be counted as normal, and credit will continue to expire at the rate agreed in clause 8, or the rate agreed in a written contract with TextOver.

Coverage & Features

13. The TextOver service is provided as is. Users should verify which networks are covered. Changes may occur as to which networks are covered. Currently, this service will only send SMS messages to the countries listed on the pricing page.

Spam Messages (Unsolicited Messages)

16. TextOver users must comply with all applicable laws, regulations and network operator requirements. Any complaint from a network operator would be regarded in a very serious light and the responsible TextOver user could be suspended without a refund of its credits. TextOver may block numbers and members from its service should complaints be received. TextOver users are responsible for any fees and costs which incur from a complaint. The complaint fee will be £20 + the fees charged by the network. Fees must be paid within 30 days to avoid late fees and interest.

17. Users must have permission of the recipients to send them SMS. Users are responsible for all costs resulting from sending SMS to recipients who do not provide permission.

18. To protect the integrity of the system, TextOver users may not send unlawful, obscene, abusive, harassing, threatening or obscene messages. Spamming (unsolicited marketing) is not allowed. Messages sent are stored and can be audited at any time. Users indemnify TextOver against any losses suffered in the event that they don't comply to the above.
