7.0 MESSAGE AND PHONE CALL THROTTLING AND LIMITS
7.1 TxtReminders may limit the volume of SMS sent to a single User in a specific time period. We may limit, for example, the maximum outbound SMS to one Message in a five second period, therefore there may be delays in receiving scheduled SMS Messages for the same time period. TxtReminders adheres to all imposed throttles and throughput limitations from the Mobile Carriers and employs its own throttles and limitations for security purposes, to balance server load, and to ensure the highest deliverability.ÿ TxtReminders Services are only for personal usage and commercial usage is not permitted.
7.2 For Monthly Subscription Plans (ex: the PRO Plan with Unlimited Active Reminders) are limited to a maximum of 730 SMS Messages (counting both Inbound AND Outbound) or Phone Calls (under 60 seconds in duration including the ringing time) per Calendar Month. If you exceed this limitation, we may temporarily "pause" some or all of your scheduled Reminders and Messages.
7.3 We may limit the maximum number of Active Reminders on FREE plans at any time, for any reason, to any amount we choose, without warning or consent from you.
8.0 BEST-EFFORT SERVICE LEVEL
8.1 TxtReminders operates on a Best-Effort Service Level model, which means we try to deliver your Messages on-time but that we do not guarantee it. Many factors exist that may interfere with timely delivery including Mobile Carrier spam-blocking of the Messages, server downtime, phone battery levels, network errors, connectivity loss, Third-Party Service downtime or software bugs, and many other unspecified and unforeseen issues. As an example, it entirely possible that some SMS Messages may arrive a full year late. This kind of thing is rare, but it has been reported to happen in news articles and the User should expect the possibility of this happening with the TxtReminders Service.
8.2 In addition to this, there are global throttles imposed by the Mobile Carriers which can affect how many total SMS that TxtReminders can send in a given time period. If this limitation is reached in any given minute, we may need to delay the sending of some Messages to the next minute, or the next after that, up to an unlimited number of delayed minutes. TxtReminders will endeavor to have infrastructure in place to allow scaling up to meet the needs of our Users, but we cannot guarantee that all Messages will arrive within any specific amount of time from when the User expects them to.
8.3 IF YOUR MESSAGES ARE CRITICAL, OR TIME SENSITIVE, THEN DO NOT USE TXTREMINDERS AS YOUR DELIVERY METHOD.
9.0 FAIR USE OF PERIODIC SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, FREE ACCOUNTS, AND ONE-TIME PURCHASE PLANS
9.1 We may offer periodic (monthly, yearly) auto-renewing subscriptions for purchase. We may advertise these as having "Unlimited Reminders" or "Unlimited Active Reminders". This definition applies to the total number of active reminders that you have scheduled within your account at any one time. It does NOT mean that you are able to send an unlimited number of SMS Messages or Phone Calls in a billing period. Throttling limitations for total SMS or Phone Calls in a given period of time are applicable as defined in this Agreement, for ALL paid accounts, ALL plans, ALL subscriptions, and ALL free accounts.
10.0 YOUR DATA AND OUR PRIVACY POLICY
10.1 When using our Services, we may collect some information about You, Your device or about how You are using our Site, App or Services. For easier understanding we placed all information about data collection in a separate document called Privacy Policy, which is available on the Site at: https://www.txtreminders.com/legal.html, and through the App. Please review our Privacy Policy in its entirety to get a clear picture on how we collect, store, use and remove any data which we may collect from You.
10.2 If you are currently reading these Terms on our Website, the Privacy Policy will be located below the Terms.
10.3 Your use of the Services constitutes an acceptance of the Privacy Policy.
10.4 Your Message Content is normally encrypted while at rest in the Databases waiting to be sent, but this data is unencrypted before it is actually delivered to the Recipient, or displayed in the Web and App, including the Logs and the Export function. This means that while your Message Content is encrypted in the case of a massive database or systems breach, it is not encrypted ?end-to-end? and can still be intercepted by external agencies or individual with the knowledge of how to do so, at various stages in the process. The points where this risk is highest exist in the Mobile Carrier network, and within the network your device is locally connected to.
10.5 TxtReminders makes no express guarantee that our data encryption protocols will hide your Message Content from other entities.
11.0 DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND CHOICE OF FORUM
11.1 The formation, interpretation, and performance of this Agreement and any disputes arising out of it shall be governed by the substantive and procedural laws of Alberta, Canada without regard to its rules on conflicts or choice of law and, to the extent applicable, the laws of Canada.

You hereby waive any right to a jury trial in any proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
11.2 If there is intention to seek Arbitration under this contract by either the User or TxtReminders, the Party pursuing Arbitration holds responsibility to first notify the other Party of the dispute in writing at least thirty (30) days in advance of commencing the Arbitration.

If User and TxtReminders are unable to resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of notification, either Party may then proceed to file a claim for Arbitration.
11.3 Any controversies or disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved by binding Arbitration in accordance with the then current Arbitration rules of the International Commercial Arbitration Act of Alberta, Canada. The Arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Alberta. Arbitrators will have the authority to allocate the costs of the Arbitration process among the parties. Except as may be required by law, neither a Party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any Arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties. The parties agree that failure or refusal of a Party to pay its required share of the deposits for arbitrator compensation or administrative charges shall constitute a waiver by that Party to present evidence or cross-examine witness. In such event, the other Party shall be required to present evidence and legal argument as the arbitrator(s) may require for the making of an award. Such waiver shall not allow for a default judgment against the non-paying Party in the absence of evidence presented as provided for above. The arbitrator shall decide any disputes related to the validity or enforceability of this Arbitration provision.ÿEACH PARTY WAIVES THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT OR ARBITRATE ANY CLAIM OR DISPUTE, EITHER AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OR AS A REPRESENTATIVE, OR TO ACT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL.

We do not share or disclose customer information that directly identifies you (such as your email or home address) with independent Third-Parties without your knowledge, except to enforce the Terms of Service, secure our Services, or if we're required to do so by law.
We work with Third-Party Service providers that provide Website, application development, hosting, maintenance, call routing, data transmission, data processing and/or storage, and other functions necessary to provide or optimize our Services. These Third-Parties may have access to or process your information as part of providing those Services for us.

In addition, they agree by Contract to maintain the confidentiality of such information.

Please note that in some cases you will not be able to continue to use our Services if we have deleted all your personal information from our secure database, as some of the information is required in order to provide you the Services.
