TxtSync Terms of Supply

This page (together with our Privacy Policy and Terms of Website Use) tells you information about us and the legal terms and conditions (Terms) on which we provide you with access to our Platform which stores information as provided or entered by you on our dedicated website app.txtsync.com (Service(s) which term shall include each and/or all Tiers as defined below).We amend these Terms from time to time as set out in clause 6. You should therefore review these Terms periodically and, in particular, upon renewal of your subscription to the Service following a previous cancellation to ensure you understand the terms which will apply at that time. These Terms were most recently updated on 13 July 2017.These Terms, and any Contract between us, are only in the English language.

1. SERVICES
Services described on the TxtSync Sites may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world. You agree to use the TxtSync Services in accordance with all applicable guidelines as well as all national and international laws that the Services are subject to at all times. To the extent there are changes in the law that affect these Terms of Service, the changes in the law shall control and you shall be responsible for abiding by such changes.The Services consist of one or more of the following: a web-based interface, access to incoming telephone number, messaging applications, SMS gateway access, data encryption, data transmission, data access, data storage, reporting and analytics, and, if applicable, synchronisation software, as well as software maintenance and upgrades and customer support, that enable you to send text messages to recipients designated by you (collectively, the “Services”). We transmit messages initiated by you or sent to you by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access the Services, and for paying all access charges (e.g., ISP, telecommunications) incurred while using the Services.TxtSync only provides that the Services are processed correctly and further transmitted by TxtSync to the applicable network. TxtSync is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated through TxtSync’s Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers. TxtSync transmits and receives text messages via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus TxtSync’s influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages is within the technical constraints imposed upon TxtSync.While TxtSync shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transportation of your messages across the public telephone network and/or Internet.You should know that communications carriers assign text messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the downstream communications carrier without any notice. TxtSync is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from TxtSync for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message contents are deemed to have zero value.

Your use of the Services is contingent on your paying for such use, in the amounts and using the methods indicated on the TxtSync Sites. Your payment for the Services and Plans shall be deemed completed when TxtSync receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services and Plans. You are responsible to pay for any message you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient. As TxtSync is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages, our price per message may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our prices from time to time without prior notice.TxtSync will charge your indicated method of payment for the Services and Plans immediately upon your confirming the payment method and amount. Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes where applicable and any other amounts indicated on the Site. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by TxtSync.TxtSync cannot readily or accurately ascertain your location when you request to use the Services. You therefore agree that your use of the Services occurs in your chosen country and is subject to any applicable taxes within that country. To the extent that you are responsible for any additional taxes or fees beyond those collected by TxtSync, you agree that you will pay them when due to any applicable taxing authority, including any interest or penalties assessed.TxtSync shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorise the charge). In addition to these Terms, any payments made by you may be subject to the agreement between you and the provider of the payment method.As between you and TxtSync, you are responsible for all charges related to purchases made using your account and payment method, whether or not you authorised such purchases. Standard charges apply to any test messages sent originating from your account or initiated using your API key. In the event of accidental under billing in favour of a customer, a non-payment by customer under these Terms, TxtSync shall be entitled to immediately proceed with collection remedies and shall be entitled to recover any and all costs, fees, and expenses of such collection efforts, including but not limited to: collection agencies, court costs, filing and service of process fees, attorneys’ fees incurred from counsel of TxtSync’s choosing, or any other costs, fees, and expenses incurred in the pursuit of collection on all customer accounts and receivables due and payable under these Terms.

9. BALANCE
You balance is paperless vouchers that you purchase and which facilitate the transmission of the TxtSync Services selected by you. The chosen route as well as the destination of a message causes the amount of balance required to either increase or decrease but, in either case, will always be made known beforehand through the Pricing Page of our TxtSync Sites. The submission of a seemingly-valid message will cause an associated quantity of balance to be debited from your account and you can obtain the real-time status of your account at any time through the online interface.

10. TERMINATION, CANCELLATION AND/OR SUSPENSION BY US
