Introduction

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) govern the individual, company and/or organizational (collectively, “you”, “your” or “Customer”) purchase and use of any of MASS TEXT MESSAGING services, including your use of the various text/SMS/MMS/Voicemail message marketing services (collectively, the “Services”) available through our website (www.masstextmessaging.org) (including both mobile and online versions) (the “Site”), and the software, technical and communications platform(s) available on and through the Site (collectively, the “Platform”). The Platform and Services are made available by Drop Productions, LLC., d/b/a MASS TEXT MESSAGING ( “MASS TEXT MESSAGING”, “we”, “our” or “us”).

If you want to use the Platform or our Services, then carefully read these entire Terms (including all links to details), as they constitute a written agreement between you and us and they affect your legal rights and obligations. The business realities associated with operating the Platform and providing the Services are such that, without the conditions that are set forth in these Terms — such as your grants and waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and arbitration of certain disputes – MASS TEXT MESSAGING would not make the Platform or the Services available to you. In some instances, both these Terms and separate guidelines, rules, or terms of use or sale setting forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Platform or to the Services offered via the Platform or otherwise (in each such instance, and collectively “Additional Terms”). To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms expressly state otherwise.

Description of MASS TEXT MESSAGING

Through the Platform and Services, MASS TEXT MESSAGING provides phone number rentals, voice call, notification, and messaging services that allows paid subscribers to contact and send information to their user database through telephony services, mobile text messaging services, direct-to-voicemail services, and other mobile communication systems. After purchasing a subscription to the Platform, you can create and send text marketing campaigns to advertise your various products and services. As part of the Services and Platform, MASS TEXT MESSAGING provides you with a variety of tools to collect names, mobile phone numbers, email addresses, and other information to help you import subscriber data. However, contact information may be imported only if your users have given you consent to receive a specified type of messaging from you. As further specified in Section 6 below, the Platform may NOT be used for sending any unsolicited messages except with our prior written approval. You agree to our Privacy Policy and anti-spam policies described in these Terms and agree to enforce the indicated permission-based marketing practices with anyone using your account as required by law. You agree to assume full responsibility and accept the legal consequences of any action by anyone using your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time, at our sole discretion, and without prior warning or refund if your account activity is reasonably believed to violate any term in these Terms or applicable law. Violation of applicable telemarketing, anti-spam, or any other applicable laws and regulations may also result in third-party legal actions against you. MASS TEXT MESSAGING also reserves the right to terminate your access to the Platform and Services at any time and immediately if we believe that your conduct is harmful to the interests of MASS TEXT MESSAGING . We reserve the sole discretion and right to permanently delete any phone numbers assigned to your account and any data stored in your account immediately after your account termination or any of your assigned Keyword(s) (defined below) may be reassigned by us to other users.

1. Terms Applicable to the Purchase of Subscriptions to the Platform and Services

A. Generally. To purchase access and use of the Platform and gain access to our Services, you must be at least eighteen (18) years of age or the applicable age of majority in your jurisdiction of residence and authorized to bind the specific entity on whose behalf you are accessing and using the Platform or obtaining Services (if applicable). Prior to the purchase of access to the Platform or our provision of the Services, unless we make alternative payment arrangement with you, you must provide us with a valid credit card number and associated payment information including all of the following: (i) your name as it appears on the card, (ii) your credit card number, (iii) the credit card type, (iv) the date of expiration, and (v) any activation numbers or codes needed to charge your card. By submitting that information to us or our third party credit card processor, you agree that you authorize us and/or our processor to charge your card at our convenience but within thirty (30) days of credit card authorization. For the specific subscription to the Platform/Services which you order, you agree to pay the price applicable (including any sales taxes and surcharges) as of the time you submit the order. MASS TEXT MESSAGING or our third party credit card/payment processor will automatically bill your credit card or other form of payment submitted as part of the order process for such price. Please be aware that the text/SMS standard permits only 160 characters in an individual message. The submission of a seemingly-valid text/SMS message or broadcast will cause an associated quantity of messages to be debited from your account. Accordingly, the submission of a seemingly-valid text/SMS message or broadcast exceeding 160 characters will yield distinct, individually debited messages, each of 160 characters or less, together comprising the original message. Please be aware that the MMS standard permits only 1600 characters in an individual message. The submission of a seemingly-valid MMS message or broadcast will cause an associated quantity of messages to be debited from your account. Accordingly, the submission of a seemingly-valid MMS message or broadcast exceeding 1600 characters will yield distinct, individually debited messages, each of 1600 characters or less, together comprising the original message. You can obtain the status of your account at any time through the online interface.
B. Subscription Term & Termination. Except in the event of a promotional offer, your subscription to the Platform (including all Services available through the Platform and otherwise) will commence as of the date your payment for a subscription is received by MASS TEXT MESSAGING . Your subscription (as applicable) will continue in full force for the length of the term you specifically purchased and if no specific length of time is specified will be on a month-to-month basis until such time as the Customer cancels the subscription as further explained below and will be limited by the number of messages/month and Keywords (defined below) identified on the Site when you purchase your subscription (the “Subscription Term”). In the event that a Customer cancels a subscription in the middle of their Subscription Term, the Customer will not be entitled to receive a refund for the unused portion of the remainder of that Subscription Term. MASS TEXT MESSAGING will have the right, upon written notice to Customer, to terminate these Terms, and suspend a Customer’s access to their subscription to the Platform and Services, if: (a) any Customer fails to pay MASS TEXT MESSAGING any amount due to MASS TEXT MESSAGING under these Terms; and/or (b) the Customer materially breaches any term or condition of these Terms. MASS TEXT MESSAGING shall have the right to terminate these Terms and immediately suspend a Customer’s access to the Platform and Services and/or suspend the provision of Services for non-payment. To the extent that your credit card on file with MASS TEXT MESSAGING is declined for any reason, MASS TEXT MESSAGING reserves the right, without notice, to immediately close your account, delete any data stored in your account and re-assign Keyword(s) (defined below) to other users. Upon the expiration or termination of these Terms for any reason, Customer’s access to, and use of, the Platform and Services will terminate and you will no longer be charged for continued access.
C. Promotional Offerings. We may offer promotional subscriptions to access the Platform and Services at special discounted prices. If you sign up for a promotional use, your rights to use the Platform and Services are limited by the terms of such trial and will terminate or renew on the terms of the promotion and/or any applicable Additional Terms. Please be aware that when you MASS TEXT MESSAGING sign up for a promotion, you may be required to provide your credit card number and MASS TEXT MESSAGING will confirm your credit card is valid. When we process your credit card, some credit card companies may place a temporary hold on your account for your first payment. Please contact your credit card company if you have questions. Please note that we do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price drop or promotional offering.
D. Auto-Renewal of Membership . Your subscription to the Platform and Services will automatically renew at the end of your Subscription Term continuously and indefinitely without action by the Customer, and the membership fee is charged to the member at the time of renewal. To the extent your Subscription Term is on a month-to-month basis, your subscription will automatically renew one (1) month from your “go live” date and every month thereafter until you cancel as set forth in Section 1(E) below. A Customer whose fee (as posted on the Platform at time of sign-up) has been paid is entitled to all privileges included in the membership until the membership is cancelled by the enrolled Customer as set forth in the paragraph below. By providing your payment method information for your subscription, you are agreeing to pay a subscription fee, that will automatically renew, at the then current rate, unless you cancel prior to the expiration of the current Subscription Term, and any applicable taxes and service fees (collectively, “Fees”). The Fees will be charged to your original payment method automatically at the beginning of your Subscription Term, and at the beginning of each renewal Subscription Term thereafter on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your current Subscription Term, unless you cancel your subscription or your account is suspended or terminated pursuant to these Terms. The renewal Subscription Term will be the same length as your initial Subscription Term unless otherwise disclosed to you at the time of sale. The rate for the renewal Subscription Term will be the then current subscription-rate. The Fees charged to your payment method may vary from Subscription Term to Subscription Term due to changes in your subscription plan or applicable taxes, and you authorize MASS TEXT MESSAGING to charge your payment method for these amounts. MASS TEXT MESSAGING reserves the right to change the pricing of subscription at any time. In the event of a price change, MASS TEXT MESSAGING will post the new pricing on the Platform and attempt to notify you in advance by sending an email to the address you have registered for your account. You agree that we may change the pricing we charge you for your subscription and any Services offered in your subscription package by providing you with notice through an electronic communication from us and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. You consent to our ability to change our pricing and the details of our subscription packages through an electronic communication to you. If you do not wish to accept a price or subscription package change made by us, you may cancel your subscription as described below, otherwise you will be deemed to have consented to the price/subscription package change and authorize MASS TEXT MESSAGING to charge the new Fees to your payment method. If there are any discrepancies in billing, you hereby waive your right to dispute such discrepancies if you do not notify MASS TEXT MESSAGING within sixty (60) days after they first appear on an account statement.
E. Termination/Cancellation of Subscription. A Customer has the right and ability to cancel or otherwise upgrade/downgrade their subscription to the Platform at any time upon using the functionality available in their account settings. If you are unable to log-in to your account, you may contact MASS TEXT MESSAGING by email at support@masstextmessaging.org. Unless in the instance we offer a money back guarantee, cancellation of your subscription to access the Platform and Services any time after purchase will result in forfeiture of the remainder of your subscription fee and any remaining funds in your account balance. To avoid a late cancellation fee or forfeiture of the subscription renewal fee, your subscription should be cancelled prior to the end of the then current Subscription Term. Upon cancellation or non-payment by you, Customer will immediately lose access to their account, including areas of the Platform and utilization of our Services designated for subscribers only, any data stored in your account is immediately deleted and any of your assigned Keyword(s) (defined below) may be reassigned by us to other users. These Terms may be terminated by either party: (i) if the other party is in material breach of these Terms and the breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after written notice of the breach; or (ii) if the other party becomes the subject of a petition in bankruptcy or any other proceeding relating to insolvency, receivership, liquidation or assignment for the benefit of creditors. We reserve the right to immediately suspend your access to the Platform or provision of our Services if your credit card is declined or you have undisputed amounts more than ten (10) business days past due. We also reserve the right to suspend your access to the Platform or provision of the Services if we reasonably determine that you or any Authorized Users (defined below): (i) use of the Platform disrupts or poses a security risk to the Platform, may harm our systems or may subject us or any third-party to liability; (ii) are using the Platform (including our Services) for fraudulent or illegal activities; or (iii) are using the Platform (including our Services) in breach of these Terms. Upon expiration or receipt of notice of termination of these Terms, you will cease using and accessing the Platform, the Services and any licenses granted under these Terms will immediately terminate.
F. Methods of Payment, Credit Card Terms and Taxes. All payments must be made through a credit or debit card or other payment mechanism we accept at the time you sign up. We currently do not accept cash, personal or business checks or any other payment form, although in the future we may change this policy. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. You represent and warrant that you will not use any credit card or other form of payment unless you have all necessary legal authorization to do so. YOU, AND NOT MASS TEXT MESSAGING , ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY UNAUTHORIZED AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY. You agree to pay all fees and charges incurred in connection with your purchases (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. Unless you notify MASS TEXT MESSAGING of any discrepancies within sixty (60) days after they first appear on your credit card statement, you agree that they will be deemed accepted by you for all purposes. If MASS TEXT MESSAGING does not receive payment from your credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by MASS TEXT MESSAGING or its agents. Sales taxes, or other taxes, customs, import/export charges, or similar governmental charges are not included in the price of the products. You are responsible for paying any such taxes or charges imposed on your purchases, including, but not limited to, sales, use or value-added taxes. MASS TEXT MESSAGING shall automatically charge and withhold the applicable tax for orders to be delivered to addresses within and any states or localities that it deems is required in accordance with our order policy in effect at the time of purchase.
G. Refund Policy. All purchase transactions made through the Platform are subject to MASS TEXT MESSAGING ’s refund policy in effect at the time of purchase. Currently, MASS TEXT MESSAGING ‘s refund policy is to not offer any refunds for any subscriptions or services purchased through the Platform, except at its sole and absolute discretion.
H. No Responsibility to Sell Mispriced Services. We do our best to describe every product or service offered on this Platform as accurately as possible. However, we are human, and therefore we do not warrant that specifications or pricing on the Platform is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free. In the event of any errors relating to the pricing or specifications of any item, product or service, MASS TEXT MESSAGING shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders in its sole discretion. If we charged your credit card or other account prior to cancellation, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge.

6. Consents and Legal Compliance for Messaging

The following terms and information constitute an introduction to the concept of spam and the general contours of a responsible, permission-based text marketing campaign. In addition, our Anti- Spam Policy applies to your use of the Platform and is incorporated into these Terms by this reference. This general information is not an exclusive source for applicable laws, guidelines, and compliance responsibilities pertaining to your use of the Platform. This Section is not intended to nor shall it be deemed to constitute legal advice. You should consult a lawyer for legal advice on your activities, practices, and your use of the MASS TEXT MESSAGING Services. The information herein is provided merely as a courtesy and is not intended to replace your responsibility to familiarize yourself with and abide by the legal requirements pertaining to your use of our Services prior to using the Platform.

What is spam? Spam is any type of unsolicited message. You should not assume that an existing relationship with any message recipient constitutes permission to send text messages. For example, if a customer disclosed a mobile number to you in the course of business but did not give you specific permission to send marketing messages, you may not have permission to send text messages to that mobile number. Also, some federal and state laws restrict the hours and days when marketing calls can be made. Before using the Platform, you agree to review and abide by all federal, state, and local laws, including, but not limited to, the following laws, and to check for any revisions, as they may be amended over time.
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA “)
Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act of 2003
Mobile Marketing Association (“MMA “) U.S. Consumer Best Practices Guidelines for Messaging

10. Dispute Resolution

Certain portions of this Section 10 are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and MASS TEXT MESSAGING agree that we intend that this Section 10 satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section 10 can only be amended by mutual agreement.

A. First – Try to Resolve Disputes and Excluded Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Platform, the Services, the Content, your Customer Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of MASS TEXT MESSAGING ‘s actual or alleged intellectual property rights (an “Excluded Dispute”, which includes those actions set forth in Section 10(D), then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such contact information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section 10(A). Your notice to us must be sent to: MASS TEXT MESSAGING , 30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82801 (Attn: Legal Department). For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, MASS TEXT MESSAGING and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute, though nothing will require either you or MASS TEXT MESSAGING to resolve the Dispute or Excluded Dispute on terms with respect to which you and MASS TEXT MESSAGING , in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.
B. Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in Section 10(A) (or agree to arbitration in writing with respect to an Excluded Dispute) within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND MASS TEXT MESSAGING MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE PLATFORM (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY – AND WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THESE TERMS. The Federal Arbitration Act ( “FAA”) shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between MASS TEXT MESSAGING and you regarding these Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Platform and Services, including the No Class Action Matters section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY.
A Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration administered by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services Inc. (“JAMS”), in accordance with the then-current streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures ( “Rules”) of, or by any other arbitration administration service that you and an officer or legal representative of MASS TEXT MESSAGING consent to in writing. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable Rules; but if applicable Rules or laws require MASS TEXT MESSAGING to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section 10 to be enforceable, then MASS TEXT MESSAGING will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions contained herein are for the court to decide.
C. Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE (BUT NOT A EXCLUDED DISPUTE) AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 10(A)) WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES — OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in Section 10(A); (b) filing for arbitration with JAMS as set forth in Section 10(B); or (c) filing an action in state or Federal court. The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to the Disputes.
D. Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section 10 will not apply to any legal action taken by MASS TEXT MESSAGING to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Platform, the Services, any Content, your Customer Content and/or MASS TEXT MESSAGING ‘s intellectual property rights (including such MASS TEXT MESSAGING may claim that may be in dispute), MASS TEXT MESSAGING ‘s operations, and/or MASS TEXT MESSAGING ‘s products or services.
E. No Class Action Matters. YOU AND MASS TEXT MESSAGING AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement in Section 10(B) to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to Section 10(F). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 10, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.
F. Federal and State Courts in Sheridan, Wyoming. Except where arbitration is required above, small claims actions, or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute or Excluded Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Sheridan, Wyoming. Accordingly, you and MASS TEXT MESSAGING consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.
G. Small Claims Matters Are Excluded from Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring qualifying claim of Disputes (but not Excluded Disputes) in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

15. Updates to Terms

However, the terms of service (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Platform and Services will continue to apply to such prior use (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You should frequently check the home page, and the email you associated with your purchases for notices, all of which you agree are reasonable manners of providing you notice. You can reject any new, revised or Additional Terms by discontinuing use of the Platform and Services.

16. General Provisions

L. Confidentiality. Each party may have access to the other party’s information, which shall be deemed confidential information if identified as such by the disclosing party or if the information by its nature is normally and reasonably considered confidential, such as information regarding product, methodology, research, customers, business partners, business plans and any information which provides a competitive advantage. The receiving party shall protect the other’s confidential information with the same degree of care it uses for its own confidential information (and at least a reasonable degree of care), shall use the information only to carry out these Terms, and shall disclose the information only to its employees (or agents bound by similar confidentiality obligations) with a need to know for that purpose. Confidential information shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be destroyed upon request. Notwithstanding the above, neither party shall be required to accelerate the destruction of any archival back-up tapes created in the ordinary course of business, even if such archival back-up tapes contain confidential information. Information shall not be deemed confidential information if it: (i) is disclosed by the disclosing party to others without restriction on use and disclosure; (ii) becomes known to the receiving party without restriction from a third party who is not in breach of a confidentiality agreement with the disclosing party; (iii) is already known by the receiving party at the time of disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party without any reliance on the confidential information of the disclosing party. Confidential information may be disclosed to the extent required by applicable law, provided the disclosing party is given reasonable advance notice of such disclosure.
M. Force Majeure. Neither party will be responsible for any failure or delay in its performance under these Terms (except for the payment of money) due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including, but not limited to, labor disputes, strikes, lockouts, shortages of or inability to obtain labor, energy, raw materials or supplies, war, acts of terror, riot, acts of God or governmental action.
