SERVICES

General.  We offer downloadable software applications (“Apps”) for mobile devices that allows customers to send and receive text messages, both on a one-to-one basis and in groups, and that also allows for certain calling services (collectively, “Services”).  Apps are currently available under the names “textPlus,” “text+,” “Nextplus” and “next+”, and may use additional or different brands or trade names from time to time at our sole discretion.

EligibilityYou must be at least 13 years old to use any textPlus Service, or if you live in the Province of Quebec, 14 years of age or older, or if you live in the State of California, 16 years of age or older. If you do not meet the foregoing age eligibility requirements, do not use any textPlus Service. If you are under 18 years old, your parent or legal guardian must also read and agree to be bound by this Agreement.  Ratings provided in Apple’s App Store, Google Play, or any future point of download of our Apps reflect content guidelines and do not alter the minimum age requirements to form a binding agreement to use the Services.

Service Options.  Our Services are available in free, paid and paid premium versions.   The premium version will be charged on a subscription basis, at the rates set forth in the Apple App Store and Google Play store, as modified from time to time, or at such other locations as we may make them available from time to time.  You will be required to select the version you wish to receive at the time of downloading the App.

Voice Services.  Our App includes the ability to make or receive voice calls to or from other App users using the Customer’s textPlus phone numbers for free (“In-App Calls”). Additionally, you may elect to enable the App to (i) make voice calls to non-App users on traditional phones and/or (ii) receive voice calls from non-App users on traditional phones “Out-of-Network Calls”) for a fee.  Out-of-Network Call plans are available at per minute rates (“Standard Out-of-Network”) or under a premium subscription for unlimited calling (“Premium Out-of-Network”).  Such plans may include certain territories, as determined by us from time to time, or may exclude or include increased rates for certain routes.

Account Set Up.  Upon downloading the App, you will be required to enter certain information, either in-App, as directed, to establish your account for Services (the “Account”).  Your Account profile will require certain personal (such as name, email address) and give you the option of including additional personal information.  You can delete or modify the optional personal information provided at any time via the “My Profile” feature in your Account.  All information entered in your Account will be maintained in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at https://textplus.com/textplus-privacy-policy/.  You represent and warrant to textPlus that: (i) all required registration information you submit is truthful, current, accurate and complete and (ii) you will maintain the accuracy and completeness of such information by providing updates to us as needed. You agree that we may use and rely on any such information provided by you for all purposes in connection with your use of the Services.

Modifications to Services.  We may modify, upgrade, replace or discontinue any Service at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion.  In the event that we discontinue a Service, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you at least thirty (30) days in advance of such discontinuance.  Under no circumstances will we be liable to you or to any third party due to any modification, upgrade, replacement or discontinuance of any Service.

Voice Service Limitations.  textPlus does not feature all of the services of, and is not a replacement for, a wired or wireless phone.  Please see https://textplus.com/911-disclosures  for special terms regarding the making of Emergency 911 calls in Canada and the United States using our apps.

Data Retention.  We do not agree to maintain any stored message content, including images, photos, and audio and video recordings connected to your Service for any minimum period of time.  Without limiting the foregoing, all Customer or third-party content is deleted from our servers after twenty-four (24) months, and generally no longer than within thirty-six (36) months, following its creation.  We will not be liable to you for the deletion of any such materials.

PAYMENT

Trial Periods.  We may, in our sole and absolute discretion, offer free trials of or introductory rates for our premium Service subscriptions (“Trials”).  Any such Trials will be subject to the terms set forth at the point of downloading the App, and shall continue for no more than thirty (30) days from the date of downloading the App.  Unless otherwise expressly set forth in the terms for such Trial, unless the subscription is cancelled in your Account on or before the thirtieth day, you will be charged in accordance with the terms applicable to your subscription.

Subscription Fees.  The fees payable for textPlus premium messaging and/or Premium Out-of-Network (“Subscription Fees”) calling will be set forth in the App at the time of downloading, and may be modified therein from time to time.  Unless otherwise set for the in the plan terms set forth in the App, you will be billed monthly in advance for all subscription fees, plus any applicable taxes, levies, surcharges or other governmental or regulatory fees (collectively, “Taxes”) associated with the Service.  Unless otherwise stated in the plan terms provided in the App at the time of your subscription, changes to Subscription Fees will be posted in the App at least thirty (30) days prior to any increase.  If you fail to cancel prior to the effective date of the Subscription Fee increase, you will be deemed to have accepted the new Subscription Fees.

Non-Subscription Calling Charges.  The fee payable for making a Standard Out-of-Network Call to a traditional phone (mobile or landline) is a per-minute rate based on the destination country of your Out-of-Network Call. The fee payable for receiving an Out-of-Network Call (regardless of its country of origin) is the per-minute rate payable for making a domestic local Out-of-Network Call. Our rates are updated in the App from time to time.  All rates are exclusive of Taxes.

The duration of an Out-of-Network Call is based on one-minute increments, and fractions of minutes will be rounded up to the next minute. Out-of-Network Calls are generally made by purchasing or earning and using “textPlus Credits.” You may purchase textPlus Credits various denominations generally in $1, $5, $10 & $20 packages in advance via your Account, and the textPlus Credits so purchased will be charged to Apple App Store or Google Play account.  The charges for the Standard Out-of-Network Calls you place, which will include Taxes thereon unless otherwise stated, will be deducted from your textPlus Credits.  textPlus Credits are non-refundable and are not redeemable for any sum of money; provided that Google Play or the Apple App Store, as applicable, may provide for refunds for purchases under or in connection with the App in certain circumstances. The circumstances in which such refunds may be available and the procedures that you must follow in requesting any such refunds are set forth in Google Play’s and the Apple App Store’s respective terms of use.  We reserve the right to expire textPlus Credits if you do not use our Services to make or receive a Standard Out-of-Network Call for 180 consecutive days.

We may change our rates for Standard Out-of-Network Calls at any time without notice to you by posting the new rates in the App, or at such locations on our website as we may designate from time to time. You are responsible for checking our latest rates before making a Standard Out-of-Network Call.  If a destination previously included in an unlimited calling bundle exceeds the cost‑per‑minute threshold we set for that plan or otherwise becomes infeasible or burdensome for us to offer in a calling bundle, we reserve the right, in our sole and absolute discretion, to withdraw that destination from the bundle.  We may, but shall not be obligated to, continue to make the destination available on a pay‑per‑minute basis using textPlus Credits, in which event we will indicate the change in‑App prior to the call.

 

Third Party Charges.  You are responsible for all device connection charges incurred by you when you use textPlus. If you use textPlus on a cellular network (rather than via Wi-Fi), standard data rates may apply, according to your wireless plan. And if you’re traveling outside of your home country, please check with your wireless carrier before using textPlus on a foreign cellular network (rather than via Wi-Fi), as international data roaming may apply and can get expensive very quickly.
