Terms of Service

Effective Date:  November 1, 2020

IMPORTANT — READ CAREFULLY

Telvero’s cloud-based Services enable customer landline phone numbers to send and receive text messages.

These Terms of Service for Telvero, Inc. (this “Agreement”) is a legal agreement between you (either an individual or an entity that you are representing, hereinafter “you”) and Telvero, Inc. and its suppliers and licensors (collectively “Telvero”) for the Telvero Services (“Services”). Your use of the Services constitutes your agreement to the terms of this Agreement and you acknowledge that Telvero would not agree to provide the Services without that assent. The Services include new products, product changes, upgrades, support and other services. You may only receive the Services if you are a Service subscriber in good standing with a valid, authorized payment method on file with Telvero. You understand that you must obtain your own Internet connection in order to use the Services. We do not control your Internet access or the quality of your Internet connection. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR FOR PROBLEMS IN THE SERVICES CAUSED BY YOUR INTERNET CONNECTION OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES NOR WILL WE CONTACT ANY OF THESE PROVIDERS ON YOUR BEHALF.


Telvero may modify these Terms of Service without notice and such modifications shall be deemed effective immediately upon posting of the modified Terms of Service. You agree to review these Terms of Service periodically to be aware of such modifications and your continued access or use of Service constitutes your acceptance to be bound by the revised Terms of Service.


1. PAYMENT & SERVICES.


1.1 Automatic Monthly Billing. Unlimited Text Messaging Plans and additional telephone numbers used for texting are provided on a monthly basis, with an automatic monthly renewal unless you cancel your service online in accordance with Section 2 below. You agree to pay Telvero the recurring monthly service charges, set-up charges and usage charges, if applicable, for your use of the Services plus any applicable taxes as set forth in Section 1.5 below.


1.2 Usage Based Fees. Enterprise text messaging plans are billed on a per-message basis with an associated minimum monthly usage commitment level. Messages sent and received under this plan are billed in real-time with the 


computed balance decremented from the prepaid messaging balance after each text message is completed.


1.3 Payment Processing. You agree to provide us with a valid email address and a valid payment method. You must advise us immediately if your email address changes and/or payment method changes or expires. Failure to comply may result in the immediate termination of Services. You authorize Telvero to automatically bill the credit card or ACH bank account you provided, until you cancel the Services in accordance with the requirements of Section 2 below. You agree that Telvero may receive updated information about your account from the financial institution issuing your credit card. Telvero allows for ACH debit as a payment method. For those users who have selected that method of payment and have completed the Telvero ACH Authorization Form, there will be a $25 fee charged for each ACH debit transaction attempt that results in a return value of ‘insufficient funds’.


1.4 Fee Payments & Late Charges. Except for usage based fees, all fees are due in advance on the first day of each billing period. Failure to pay in full may result in immediate account suspension and Telvero shall have no liability for such suspension under any circumstances. Accounts will be reactivated, at Telvero’s sole discretion, only when the account balance is paid in full and a $25 reconnect fee is paid. Telvero may modify the Service fees at any time, but will provide at least thirty (30) days advance notice by email or by publishing the new Service fees on the Telvero website. During any period of suspension for non-payment, Services will be unavailable to you until the account balance is paid in full.


1.5 Taxes. Prices for the Services do not include any customs duties, sales, use, value added, excise, federal, state, local, public utility, universal service or other similar taxes. All such taxes (computed automatically by Telvero and inserted in a line-item fashion on your bill) shall be and paid by you and will be added to any amounts otherwise charged for service to you unless you provide Telvero with an appropriate exemption certificate.


1.6 Invoice Discrepancies & Currency Conversion. All invoices are available for viewing and downloading online via the Telvero user portal only. You agree to notify Telvero about any billing problems or discrepancies within 30 days after they first appear on your account statement. If you do not bring them to Telvero`s attention within 30 days, you agree that you waive your right to dispute such problems or discrepancies. All transactions are charged in U.S. dollars (USD). Please remember that orders placed with us will be converted from USD to your currency by your credit card company when they process the transaction. Telvero cannot be held responsible for any adverse currency fluctuations.


1.7 Release of Numbers. You acknowledge that in the event of any account termination or cancellation, all telephone numbers associated with your account 


are released and may not be available to you upon your reactivation. You acknowledge that it is your responsibility to work with a third party provider to port out those numbers prior to your termination or cancellation of your account or termination of services. 


1.8 Unlimited 2-way Text Messaging Services. Unlimited 2-way text messaging services are provided solely for dialog between two individuals. Unlimited 2-way text messaging services may not be used for broadcast messaging, automated messaging, blast or repetitive messaging. Broadcast, blast, marketing and automated messaging must be done using the Telvero Broadcast messaging service which is billed on a metered basis (with optional free allotment based on subscription package). If Telvero finds that you are using Unlimited 2-way text messaging services for other than dialog between two individuals, Telvero may, at its option, terminate your service or change your plan to an Enterprise metered usage model. Telvero will provide notice that it intends to take any of the above actions, and you may terminate the Agreement. Further information regarding unlimited text message plans can be found in section 4.2 of this agreement.


1.9 Notices from Telvero. Telvero may provide you notice under this Agreement either by written document, email, voice mail or by publishing the information on the Telvero website.

You acknowledge that the cancellation will be effective immediately upon submitting the cancellation request via the online user portal. Telvero will provide you with email confirmation of both your request to cancel Services and the actual cancellation of Services.

You will not receive any refund or partial refund or any credits for any charges already billed to your account. If you have a remaining balance in your prepaid text messaging account, it will be refunded to your method of payment currently on file. In the event you signed up for a minimum commitment period, you will be responsible for all charges for the entire minimum commitment period, all such fees will immediately accelerate and you authorize Telvero to immediately bill all these fees to your payment method.
