1. INTRODUCTION

UK Intis Telecom LTD is a telecommunications company that provides text messaging services to legal entities and individuals through the URL intistele.com (which, together with its sub-domains, content and services, is the “Site”). Our Service allows the creation of text messages, their management and dispatch to individual recipients (MT Messaging), along with the receipt and management of text messages sent from handsets (MO Messaging). We can also help you with our number lookup service, which provides mobile network information about subscribers via HLR (Home Location Register).

When you create an account by completing the registration form on intistele.com, you agree to these Terms of Use. You also confirm that you are at least 18 (eighteen) years of age. If you use our services for business purposes, that business will be bound to the Terms outlined below.

 

 

2. CREATING AN ACCOUNT

To start using the Services of UK Intis Telecom LTD, you need to register, choose a username and set a password. When you do this, you must provide us with complete and accurate contact information (please see how we will use your personal data in our Privacy Policy). If any of your information changes during the Term, you should update it in the Account or notify us about it at info@intistele.com

We may refuse Service if we find out that the personal information provided during registration is false and/or you do not meet the requirements.

 

3. TERM

The Term begins when you sign up for an Account (“Account”) and continues for as long as you use the Service. Clicking the button and entering your username means that you’ve officially “signed” the Terms. If you register with us and do so on behalf of a company or other entity, you represent and guarantee that you have the authority to accept these Terms on their behalf.

 

4. CLOSING/SUSPENDING AN ACCOUNT

You may terminate this Agreement at any time by emailing us at info@intistele.com or by sending a message to the support team via your Account. In this case we will block your Account and refund your balance if it is more than 5 GBP, as stated in our Refund Policy. We may terminate or suspend this Agreement by prior email notice to you:

  • if you provide us with false personal information and/or you are under 18 (eighteen) years old;
  • if you fail to pay money that you owe us;
  • if we are required to do so by law or if we believe that you are breaking or may break any applicable law or regulations;
  • if you fail to comply with the Terms;
  • for scheduled downtime to allow us making modifications to any service or conducting maintenance;
  • if we cannot deliver you the Service due to circumstances beyond our control

Please note that we will not refund or reimburse you any money remaining in your Account if we terminate the Agreement because of your violation of applicable laws and regulations or your material breach of this Agreement.

 

 

5. CHANGES IN TERMS

We may change any of the Terms by posting revised Terms of Use on our Site and/or by sending an email to the last email address you gave us. The new Terms will be effective immediately and apply to any continued or new use of your Intis Telecom Account. We reserve the right to change the Site, the Service, or any features of the Service at any time.


6. ACCOUNT CREDENTIALS

You are responsible for all the activity on your account, and for keeping your password confidential. If you find out that your account has been used without your permission, you should report this immediately to info@intistele.com

Intis Telecom also recommends you change your password at least once every 3 (three) months for security reasons.

 

 

7. PAYMENT

We don’t charge you a subscription fee. You will pay only for:

  • the messages you have sent – Mobile Terminated (MT) Messaging;
  • the acquired short and long codes – if you use Mobile Originated (MO) Messaging;
  • the sender ID registration if applicable, according to mobile operators’ requirements;
  • HLR (Home Location Register) requests.

 

 

7.1. MT MESSAGING/HLR REQUEST

We charge for the messages and/or HLR requests sent from your Account and subaccounts (if there are any) according to the prevailing price list available in your Account.

We may change these prices at any time. When prices change, we issue an immediate price change notification to the email address specified in your Account contact information.

Please note that one message may consist of several SMS segments that are reassembled into a single long text message by the recipient handset. The price is set for each SMS segment as for a separate message.

We charge for each message sent, whether it is delivered or not, because most delivery failures are for reasons beyond our control. However, we will refund you in cases where the failure has been confirmed to be due to the mobile operator’s manifest error, as set out in our Refund Policy.

 

7.2. PREPAID PAYMENT MODEL

Unless you have signed a Service Addendum, you will be a prepaid customer. That means you must top up your Account balance before using the Service to ensure you have sufficient credit available within your account.

You can transfer us money via the payment processing systems listed in your Account, such as PayPal or Skrill. Using such systems, your Account can be topped up rapidly within just a few minutes. We are not liable for any losses or damages suffered due to the use of these electronic payment systems. You should contact the support team of the electronic payment system if you cannot make a payment or your payment has failed.

You can also request an invoice and make payments to our bank account; in this case we will add the money to your Account balance within several days after we have received the money or proof of payment.

If VAT is applicable, it will be added to the invoices at the relevant rate.

Both UK Intis Telecom LTD and you bear the costs imposed by our own banks when making and receiving payments under the Agreement.

 

 

7.3. POSTPAID MODEL

We may sign a Service Addendum with some of our customers and switch to a postpaid model. In these situations we set a credit limit for the customer account prior to them being able to use it. 

The billing period is 1 (one) calendar month, unless otherwise stated in the Service Addendum.

We will calculate the amount spent for the billing period by referencing the data recorded or logged by us and not by that recorded or logged by you.

Our invoice is final and binding on you. Should you do not agree with the invoice, you may dispute it within ten (10) calendar days of the invoice date. If a dispute is not raised within this timeframe, we consider the invoice to be correct and final and you will be liable for the full invoice amount.

If VAT is applicable it will be added to the invoices at the relevant rate.

Both UK Intis Telecom LTD and you bear the costs imposed by their own banks when making and receiving payments under the Agreement.

You must pay the invoice within ten (10) calendar days after the day of its sending. If you fail to pay us the invoice by the due date, we may charge you a late penalty on the amount overdue for each day it is overdue until it is paid, equal to the lesser of: (i) the maximum legally permissible interest rate, or (ii) an interest rate of five percent (5%).

If you have less than fifty (50) GBP of credit for the billing period, you will pay the debt at the end of the second billing period within the first ten (10) days of the next billing period using a payment method agreed with UK Intis Telecom LTD. You will be liable for any charges that may arise from using the agreed payment method.

 

 

7.4. MOBILE ORIGINATED (MO) MESSAGING

If you would like to use MO messaging, you need to rent a long or a short code (“Number”) for it. If we allocate you a Number but please note that you do not own that Number and you do not have a right to retain it indefinitely.

You pay for the Number each billing period. This can be one calendar month or the equivalent charge relating to a period of between 28 (twenty-eight) and 31 (thirty-one) days from the day of acquisition.

We will send you an invoice before the start of a billing period, depending on the day of your request.

The invoice must be paid within three (3) calendar days using the payment method agreed with UK Intis Telecom LTD. The customer will pay any charges that may arise from using the agreed payment method.

The Number will be available on the first day of the billing period after UK Intis Telecom LTD receives the money in its account or proof of payment.

 

7.5. CURRENCY

UK Intis Telecom LTD works only in GBP, EUR or USD. We are not responsible for any currency exchange rate fluctuations or charges.

The currency set for your account during registration cannot be changed afterwards.

7.6. NO WAIVER

If we omit or delay invoicing any sum, we reserve the right to issue an invoice to you at a later date and for which you remain liable and must pay.
