QuickSMS Terms and Conditions

DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE.
QuickSMS IT Solutions (PTY) LTD (referred to as “QuickSMS”) provides a desktop-based application (referred to as the “Business Application”). QuickSMS also operates its website https://www.quicksms.co.za (referred to as the “Website”). The Business Application and the Website are used for managing mobile marketing campaigns including mobile messaging capabilities (referred to as the “Service”). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service shall be subject to this Agreement. You understand and agree that the Service is provided to you on an “AS-IS” basis and that QuickSMS assumes no responsibility for the timeliness and defects, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access and subsequent usage may involve third party fees (such as Internet access to use the Service).

YOUR REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS.
The Business Application and the website is not intended for users under the age of 18. In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving the Service under the laws of South Africa or other applicable jurisdictions. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service’s registration process (such information being the “Registration Data”) and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or if QuickSMS has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, QuickSMS has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof). Children under the age of 18 may not register to sign up for a QuickSMS account or use any QuickSMS services.

QuickSMS PRIVACY POLICY.
Registration Data and certain other information about you are subject to our QuickSMS Privacy Statement. For more information, please review our full Privacy Statement at https://www.quicksms.co.za/privacy. You understand that through your use of the Service you consent to the collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Statement) of this information, including the transfer of this information to South Africa and/or other countries for storage, hosting, processing, and for the use by QuickSMS and its affiliates. QuickSMS may reasonably use your name and logo for its investor relations and marketing purposes.

MEMBER ACCOUNT AND SECURITY MEASURES.
You, who are the user of our Business Application or our Website, are referred to as the “Member”. The Member will receive a Business Application Client Code designation upon the completion of the Service’s registration process within the Business Application (this is referred to as the "Account"). Your Account is linked to at least your Computer Name and your operating system User Profile name but is not limited to these and could be additionally linked to other details gathered from your computer such as your IP address. The collection of this information is not intended for the accumulation of personal information but rather for the protection and security of your account.
The Business Application is not password protected and is intended to be protected by the hosting operating system and the administrator(s) of the hosting computer. You are therefore responsible for installing and maintaining the Business Application on a password protected computer where only you the Member will have access. The Member is fully responsible for the protection and for the keeping of confidentiality of this computer and is also responsible for all the activities that occur under your Account by any other user with access to your computer which is designated to you on your Business Application. It is also your responsibility to make sure that you use secure and private communication channels when using the Business Application such as a VPN to protect the interception of data transfer.
You agree to (a) immediately notify QuickSMS of any unauthorised use of the Business Application or of any suspicious activity which you suspect on your Account or of any other breach of security on your computer, and (b) ensure that you will password protect your computer and take measures to safeguard and protect your Business Application.
It is vital that you inform QuickSMS of any breach on your computer as soon as possible since QuickSMS can attempt to Suspend your account before any illegal use of your SMS credits on your Account. QuickSMS can not guarantee any protection from any illegal and hacking activities which might occur. QuickSMS uses encryption procedures to reduce the risk of improper access to the Business Application and to attempt to stop any manipulation of Information during the transmission and storage of the Business Application Services. Even though we take many precautions for Information safety, no method of security can be guaranteed and can be considered 100% effective, you will be using the Business Application at your own risk and we therefore encourage you to employ discretion when submitting any of your Information through the Business Application and Website.
QuickSMS cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to comply with this section or if any security breach has been inflicted on your computer or from our services and servers without the ability to prevent such an action.
Since newer security patches and libraries are constantly getting updated on our Business Application, this means that it will be mandatory for you to update the Business Application to its latest available version at all times before its usage.

PAYMENT AND FEES.
In order to use the Business Application, you are required to purchase a Pay-As-You-Use fee for a minimum of a single calendar month. You only need to pay rent for the month(s) in which you use the Business Application. You will also need to purchase SMS Credits to send out SMS messages to your recipients.
Debit Orders payments can be arranged with QuickSMS. You therefore will need to authorise QuickSMS to charge and deduct a regular Services fee from your bank account as set forth in a Payment Agreement with QuickSMS for a regular time frame at the rate set forth in a personal agreed upon rate and/or according to the pricing amount stipulated in the following Website page: https://www.quicksms.co.za/pricing . These fee structures will be determined by QuickSMS and will be published on the Website. Our pricing on this link is subject to change.
A monthly rental fee must be paid according to our fee structures and/or agreement for the Account to be used. Any fees paid by the Client towards the Business Application's Expiration and any Fees paid by the Client for SMS credits of the Business Application, will be linked to your Account which therefore is also linked to that specific Business Application computer and to that specific Business Application operating system user profile.
If you would like to transfer your credits and your monthly rent which has been paid on your Account to another computer and hence to another Account, you will need to make an emailed request at least three weeks prior to the Business Application rental expiration to quicksmsza@gmail.com where this change will be at the discretion of QuickSMS. Proof will be requested by QuickSMS to verify that you are the owner of this Account. QuickSMS reserves the right to decline such a request if we feel that the information supplied is not sufficient. The SMS credits must be available in your Account in order for these to be transferred to another Account.
Purchased and unused SMS Credits may expire after a year from the date of purchase and this decision will be at the sole discretion of QuickSMS.
The Business Application makes use of an SMS Estimator/Calculator which is created as a best effort, but may be inaccurate. QuickSMS therefore disclaims that this SMS Estimator/Calculator is just a guideline. Ultimately the Client will send QuickSMS the message, QuickSMS then passes the message to its own Service Provider and the QuickSMS Service Provider would ultimately determine the final bill. The QuickSMS Service Provider therefore has the final say and we can never really be sure as to this outcome and to the specific SMS cost. The Client Account may therefore be altered according to the bill of the QuickSMS Service Provider.
