Terms and Conditions

|
| Introduction |
| CBFSMS.com is a FREE service provided
in good faith by CardBoardFish. This service
may be used by any genuine person for the
sending of purposeful SMS messages to a
recipient with a compatible device according
to the terms set out on this page. FREE
refers to there being no exchange of money
or personal details in return for using
the service. Please remember that this service
is entirely funded by our sponsors to try
and keep SMS free for everyone, without
having to forfeit your personal information.
For these reasons, we ask that all users
support us by clicking on the various links
to other sites of interesting and relevant
content, and by telling others of our truly
unique service. |
| Using CBFSMS.com |
| This site may only be used by genuine
Internet users using a standard unmodified
web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape,
Mozilla, Opera). No automated process may
be employed to send messages, or assist
the sending of messages, through CBFSMS.com.
Users must at all times be able to see CardBoardFish
branding, colours, interfaces, popups, and
banners. Using any software or scripting
that prevents this is strictly forbidden,
and is classed as "automated sending". Users
must manually enter all details requested.
Records are stored of every message and
its origination, and if automated sending
is discovered, the responsible parties will
be invoiced for the sending of every single
message at a price of £0.25 GBP per
message with additional administration costs.
Failure to pay these charges will result
in legal action. This service must only
be used by users connected to the Internet
in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Northern Ireland. You agree to abide by
the spirit of free service, as reasonably
and practically interpreted. |
| Sending and Delivery of SMS Messages |
| CBFSMS.com will, when indicated as functional
by System Status, send each SMS message
to one of our SMS gateways for delivery
to the relevant network, providing no error
is displayed to suggest that this will not
be done. CBFSMS.com guarantees that under
these circumstances all messages are SENT.
However, delivery is the responsibility
of third party networks and services, including
the receiving device itself, and cannot
be guaranteed. When on the Confirmation
page a message is flagged with GREEN, CBFSMS.com
has received information to suggest that
the specified network/device has received
the SMS message. If you find this information
to be incorrect, then providing us with
full details of the message and confirmation
code will allow us to investigate the problem
with individual networks. Delivery confirmations
may only be available at certain times. |
| Message Content |
| Use of the CBFSMS Service to send abusive
messages can be traced to the originator
upon request from the Police and they will
be liable for prosecution under the 1988
Malicious Communications Act. CBFSMS.com
is not responsible for content of messages
sent by users of the service. CBFSMS.com
will co-operate with official inquiries
into misuse of the service. You agree not
to send abusive or defamatory messages through
this service. Spam/unsolicited messages
and bulk advertising through this service
is not permitted. Messages containing sexual
content are not permitted. Each message
must be unique in content and purposeful,
and may contain up to the permitted amount
of characters. Users sending messages that
do not comply with these terms will be invoiced
at a rate of £0.25 for each offending
message, plus administration costs and all
legal and other fees incurred by CardBoardFish
as a result, payable immediately. CBFSMS.com
will reserve some SMS characters for a short
tagline. |
| Advertising/Sponsorship |
| All Adverts shown on CBFSMS.com are mainstream
and not offensive. If you see an advert
that does offend you, it is important that
you contact us, so we can have it removed.
We allow several reputable advertising agencies
to advertise on our site. Using software
that blocks adverts or alters portions of
this site is strictly forbidden, and is
classed as "automated sending".
You must ensure that you can see (and interact
with) all advertising banners and popups
on CBFSMS.com when using or if you intend
to use the service. We can detect popup
blockers - if you have a popup blocker active
on your system we strongly recommend you
disable it whilst using CBFSMS. |

any time, and shall become effective immediately
upon posting to this page. |
