operated by GTM.
GTM means Globaltel Media, Inc., a Delaware
corporation, including its subsidiaries, owners, shareholders

1. THE SERVICE
The Service consists of various GTM software
solutions and hosting facilities. The User is responsible
for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software
and communications equipment needed to access the Service,
and for paying all access charges (e.g., ISP, telecommunications)
incurred while using the Service.
GTM makes no guarantees as to the continuous
availability of the Service or any specific feature(s) of
the Service. GTM reserves the right to change or terminate
the Service and/ or alter the terms and conditions of this
Agreement at any time with fourteen (14) days notice.
Messages shall be deemed to have been delivered
when GTM has delivered/sent the messages to the immediate
destination that GTM's software is programmed to do, including
mobile telephone networks or any other intermediary server
or API that is deemed to be the point of dispatch of the message.
GTM does not guarantee delivery on behalf of mobile telephone
networks.
GTM makes no claims as to its mobile telephone
network coverage. Although GTM focuses on providing extensive
coverage aggregation services, mobile telephone networks may
choose from time to time to not be part of GTM or its service
providers' networks. This may result in messages not being
delivered.
2. USE OF PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE
Subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement and United States law, GTM grants the User
an individual, personal, non-sublicensable, non-exclusive
and non-transferable license ("the License") to
use its proprietary software and/or application service, in
object code form only, and only in accordance with the applicable
end user documentation, if any, and only in conjunction with
this Agreement. The User will not, directly or indirectly,
reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or otherwise attempt
to establish the source code or underlying ideas or algorithms
of the software; modify, translate, or create derivative works
based on the software/ application; or copy (except for archival
purposes), rent, lease, distribute, assign, or otherwise transfer
rights to the software/application; use the software/application
for timesharing or service bureau purposes or otherwise for
the benefit of a third party; or remove any proprietary notices
or labels with regard to GTM products and/or services. The
User acknowledges that GTM retains ownership of its respective
proprietary applications, software, intellectual property
"IP" (Intellectual Property), user data and any
portions or copies thereof, and all rights therein. Upon termination
of this Agreement for any reason, this License will terminate
and the User shall destroy and cease use of all software and
applications. THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED AND APPLICATIONS ARE
OFFERED, "AS IS" AND SUBJECT TO THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS
AND LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOUND IN THIS AGREEMENT AND SUBJECT
TO TESTING BY THE USER PRIOR TO ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT.
3. PRIVACY
It is GTM's policy to respect the privacy
of the User. GTM will not monitor or edit any personal information
about the User or the User's GTM account, including its contents,
unless GTM has a good faith belief that such action is necessary
to: (1) conform to legal requirements or comply with legal
process; (2) protect and defend the rights or property of
GTM; (3) enforce this Agreement or protect GTM's business
or reputation, including without limitation upon termination,
cancellation or suspension of this Agreement by GTM; (4) respond
to request for identification in connection with claim of
copyright or trademark infringement by the User, or a claim
by a third party that the User is using the Service in connection
with an infringing, illegal or improper activity; or (5) act
to protect the interests of the User or others. GTM's service
transmits the User name and/or mobile telephone number with
each message that the User sends or receives.
The User agrees that GTM may access its
account, including its contents, as stated above or to respond
to service, business or technical issues.
4. MOBILE ORIGINATED AND TERMINATED SERVICES
GTM offers Mobile Originated (“MO”) and
Mobile Terminated (“MT”) service. This is subject to change
and can be confirmed with GTM from time to time.
GTM will collect MO and MT messages and
pass these to and from the User in the methods determined
solely by GTM. The User will be responsible for content of
the service, as well as the cost of any and all bearer charges
to provide the content to the end-client.
The User shall not use, or knowingly allow
others to use the lines for any purpose, which in GTM's opinion
is improper, immoral or unlawful.
The User will not act, or omit to act,
in any way likely to injure or damage any person, property
or the GTM gateway or cause the quality of the lines or GTM's
service in general to be impaired or interrupted in any manner
whatsoever.
GTM shall be entitled, at any time, and
without liability to the User or any third party, to modify,
expand, improve, maintain or repair the GTM service or the
number ranges, notwithstanding that this may require suspending
the operation of the GTM service. GTM shall use its reasonable
efforts to provide the User with advance notice of any such
suspension and to minimize the duration thereof in so far
as this is reasonably practical.
The User warrants that its use of the Services
will not contravene any laws or regulations of the United
States and in particular any laws relating to privacy, spamming,
gaming and gambling and the User indemnifies, holds harmless
and shall defend GTM against any claim, action or damage suffered
or incurred by GTM as a result of a breach by the User of
this warranty.
PLEASE NOTE: In order to ensure that GTM
complies with industry codes of conduct, Users are obliged
to route all MO and MT messages related or associated directly
or indirectly with any GTM hosted short code via GTM's messaging
gateway. This will enable GTM to ensure that all short code-messaging
services offer the required confirmation messages as stipulated
by the various codes of practice and that such messages can
be validated as having been submitted. GTM shall be entitled
to immediately terminate the User's services if the User does
not comply with the provisions of this clause, without any
liability to the User or any third party.
5. MESSAGE AND OTHER LIMITATIONS
GTM assumes no responsibility for the deletion
or failure to store information. Although GTM prides itself
on speedy delivery of messages, messages may be delivered
late due to queuing or network traffic. This will still result
in the message being seen as "delivered".
6. CONDUCT
Any unauthorized commercial use of the
Service, is expressly prohibited. The User agrees to abide
by all applicable local and national laws and regulations
and is solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur
under its account or password, including the content of any
transmissions through the Service. By way of example, and
not as a limitation, the User agrees not to:
i. Use the Service in connection with junk
SMS messages, spamming or any unsolicited messages (commercial
or otherwise);
ii. Harvest or otherwise collect information
about others, including email addresses, without their consent;
iii. Create a false identity mobile phone
address or header, or otherwise attempt to mislead others
as to the identity of the sender or the origin of the message;
iv. Transmit through the Service, associate
with the Service or publishing with the Service unlawful,
harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, and harmful, vulgar,
obscene or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or
nature;
v. Transmit any material that may infringe
the intellectual property rights or other rights of third
parties, including trademark, copyright or right of publicity;

or infringe upon any person's privacy rights;

connected to the Service or violate the regulations, policies
or procedures of such networks;

to the Service, other accounts, computer systems or networks
connected to the Service, through password mining or any other
means;
x. Interfere with another User's use and
enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and enjoyment
of similar services; or
xi. Engage in any other activity that GTM
believes could subject it to criminal liability or civil penalty
or judgment.
7. YOUR RIGHT TO CANCEL
Termination or Cancellation by the User.
The User is free to terminate or cancel this Agreement at
any time, and for any reason; provided, however, for such
termination or cancellation to be effective, the User must
carry out such termination in accordance with the policies
and procedures established by GTM. GTM shall have no obligation
to the User after any termination or cancellation of this
Agreement.
8. MODIFICATION OF TERMS; TERMINATION,
CANCELLATION, AND SUSPENSION
Modification of Terms: GTM frequently updates,
modifies, and otherwise continually seeks to improve the GTM
Services and products. Such changes often dictate that GTM
simultaneously modify GTM's Terms and Conditions of Use. As
such, GTM shall have the right to modify the terms of this
Agreement and to change or discontinue any aspect or feature
of the GTM Service, in either case, as it deems reasonably
necessary. Such changes shall be effective immediately upon
posting of such addition, change, or deletion. Any use by
the User of the Service after any such change has been posted,
shall constitute the acceptance of any such changes. If the
User does not agree with any such changes, the Service may
be canceled in accordance with the procedures for cancellation
set forth in this Agreement. The User acknowledges its responsibility
to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware
of any such changes.
Termination, Cancellation and/or Suspension
by GTM; Disclosure of Information: This Agreement and the
license granted here under may be terminated, canceled and/or
suspended by GTM at any time if, in GTM's sole discretion,
the User breaches these Terms of Service. Such termination,
cancellation and/or suspension by GTM shall be effective immediately
upon notification by GTM to the User in any reasonable manner,
including but not limited to, notification by e-mail or text.
Upon, during, and/or after any such breach, GTM may elect
to suspend, terminate and/or cancel this Agreement and/or
recover any and all damages from the User arising from or
relating to the event(s) giving rise to the suspension, termination
or cancellation. GTM reserves the right to suspend the User's
service at any stage for any reason it may deem necessary
to continue to provide any of its services in a way that may
be hindered by the User's status as being a GTM client or
the content of the messages originating from the User.
In the event that GTM receives complaints
from recipients or third parties with respect to the use of
the Service, GTM additionally reserves the right, in its sole
discretion, to disclose any and all information to the recipient,
applicable authorities or any other party with regard to its
clients and application Users.
