Unless otherwise agreed with your account manager, and subject to earlier termination in accordance with these Terms and Conditions, the Term is, for an initial minimum, a 12-month period (the “Initial Term”). The Initial Term will start on the Start Date (the day when you start using the Service or the Free Service) and expire on the End Date (the day corresponding the date in the month in which the initial service term expires). Upon expiration of the Initial Term, the Agreement will continue automatically unless and until either party gives the other 30 days’ written notice or either You or We otherwise terminate the Agreement in accordance with these Terms and Conditions.

If You wish to terminate the Agreement with effect from any date preceding such End Date and are unable to do so for cause or any other reason under these Terms and Conditions, if you are a Customer under the Agreement then You must pay Us the Customer Charges due for each month (or part thereof) remaining of the minimum 12-month period post-termination. Such Customer Charges will be calculated on the basis of the monthly Customer Charges as set out in the Signature Page (as varied if applicable), and any prepayment of Customer Charges that You have made to Us will not be credited or refunded (“No refund, exchange only”). The latter shall not prevent any refund to be made according to the applicable customer protection laws.

Either party may also terminate this Agreement with immediate effect by notice to the other party if:

The other party becomes insolvent, makes any arrangement with or for the benefit of its creditors, goes into compulsory or voluntary liquidation, has a receiver, administrative receiver, liquidator or other similar official appointed over its assets, is subject to an administration or similar order or ceases trading;

The other party commits a material breach of the Agreement and (where such breach is capable of remedy) fails to remedy the breach within 14 days of a written notice from the party not in breach requiring its remedy; or

Any license required for Us to operate the Services is revoked, terminated or modified or, in the case of new license requirements being imposed, the applicable license:

Is not granted to Us; or

Is granted to Us but in such a way as to prevent Us from continuing to make the Services available or a Network Operator from enabling Us to make the Services available.

We may terminate the Agreement immediately upon notice in the event that any relevant legislation or regulation is implemented or modified with the effect that it is no longer commercially viable or possible for Us to make the Services available. If you are using the Free Service under this Agreement You acknowledge that We reserve the right to, at Our absolute discretion, stop providing the Free Service to You on either a temporary or a permanent basis for any reason whatsoever without any prior notice Termination of the Agreement for any reason does not affect any rights that have accrued to either party under the Agreement up to the date of its termination and those terms and conditions of the Agreement that are by their nature capable of surviving termination will continue in full force and effect following such termination On termination of the Agreement:

You will immediately cease to use the Services; and

All amounts then owed to Us, under or in connection with the Agreement, will become immediately due and payable.

You will forfeit any unused credit on your account, except for payments received by us within seven (7) days prior to termination.

All licenses and rights granted under these Terms will terminate immediately.

Section 4 – The Service And The Free Service

The Service enables a Paying Customer to use Our Mobile Messaging Services as set out as part of your online registration Any such message or action shall be referred to in these Terms and Conditions as a “Chargeable Event”. The Free Service will enable Non-Paying Customers to:

Use the Trial for one or more elements of the Service described in the above clause “The Service and the Free Service 1.1” ; and/or

Use any element of the Service described in the above clause “The Service and the Free Service 1.1” or any other service made available by Us to You free of charge from time to time at Our absolute discretion.

Some or all elements of the Free Service may be accessed via a web application, an email gateway, a software tool and/or a web service more particularly described on our website at https://sms.to

Section 5 – Customer Charges And Payment

The provisions of this clause apply to Paying Customers only. You agree to pay all Charges due to Us in respect of making the Service available to You and your access to and use of the Service (“Customer Charges”) by the prepayment method and in accordance with the terms as set hereof. You agree to pre-purchase Chargeable Event credits for each month of the Agreement or such other period as is agreed between us, in which case We will allocate to You a corresponding number of Chargeable Events credits for that period. Each Chargeable Event that You conduct using the Service will therefore reduce the value of the Chargeable Event credits available to You by 1 corresponding unit charge (subject to any variation thereof and as agreed with your account manager). Any Chargeable Event credits purchased by You are only valid for the period in respect of which they have been allocated, any additional expenditure of Chargeable Events, over your allocation limit, in such period, shall not be possible. However, You will still be allowed to purchase new Chargeable Event credits and expand your allocation for the given period at any time. You shall be solely responsible, by seeking adequate Chargeable Event credit allocation(s) and checking your remaining available Chargeable Event credit level on Our website at https://sms.to/, for ensuring that You have enough Chargeable Event credits to meet your requirements from time to time and We shall not be in any way responsible or liable in the event that You have insufficient Chargeable Event credits to meet your requirements, and/or have exceeded your Chargeable Event credit allocation(s), for any period. For the avoidance of doubt, a Charge will be incurred for every Chargeable Event conducted by You regardless of whether it is successfully delivered. If You do not pay any Customer Charges in accordance with the applicable payment terms, We reserve the right to, in Our sole discretion, suspend your access to the Service and/or cease to allow any Chargeable Event to be conducted by You until further payment is received by Us which fully covers any unpaid Charges. You are responsible for the payment of all bank and finance charges. Please ensure that the amount received on Our bank account, after deductions, corresponds to the full amount you owe Us. You will not be able to receive any refund for the payment made (“No refund, exchange only”). The latter shall not prevent any refund to be made according to the applicable customer protection laws
