2. The Services
Services described on the TextVA Site may or may not be available in all countries or regions of the world, may be available under different trademarks in different countries and, where applicable, may be approved or cleared by a government regulatory body for sale or use with different indications and restrictions in different countries. You agree to use the TextVA Site and Services in accordance with all applicable guidelines as well as all state and federal laws that the Services are subject to.
The Services consist of one or more of the following: a web-based interface, access to incoming telephone number or keywords, messaging applications, SMS and MMS gateway access, data transmission, data access, data storage and, if applicable, synchronization software, as well as software maintenance and upgrades and customer support, that enable you to send SMS messages, MMS messages and/or call to recipients designated by you (collectively, the “Services”). We transmit messages initiated by you or sent to you by others through different routes, and the level of reliability and support for special features varies according to the route. You are responsible for obtaining and maintaining all computer hardware, software and communications equipment needed to access and use the Services, and for paying all access charges (e.g., ISP, telecommunications, data plan) incurred while using the Services.
TextVA only provides that the Services are processed correctly and further transmitted by TextVA to the applicable downstream network. TextVA is not responsible for the final delivery of any communication initiated by you through the Services, as this is out of our control and is the responsibility of downstream communications carriers.
TextVA transmits and receives voice, SMS, and MMS messages via other major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators, and thus TextVA’s influence over the timing of the transmission of your messages is within the technical constraints imposed upon TextVA. While TextVA shall use commercially reasonable efforts to transmit your messages and broadcasts to the applicable network for final delivery to your designated recipients as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Such times depend on various network and system-related factors among the various entities involved in the transmission of your messages across the public switched telephone network and/or Internet. You should know that communications carriers assign messages with a default lifetime and any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the communications carrier without any notice. TextVA is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message to be delivered, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from TextVA for any such non-deliveries. Furthermore, you agree that message contents are deemed to have zero value.

TextVA abides by the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) by responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. As part of our response, we may remove or disable access to material residing on a site that is controlled or operated by TextVA that is claimed to be infringing, in which case we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the person who submitted the affected material so that they may make a counter notification, also in accordance with the DMCA. TextVA does not control content hosted on third party websites, and cannot remove content from sites it does not own or control. If you are the copyright owner of content hosted on a third party site, and you have not authorized the use of your content, please contact the administrator of that website directly to have the content removed.
Before serving either a Notice of Infringing Material or Counter-Notification, you may wish to contact a lawyer to better understand your rights and obligations under the DMCA and other applicable laws. The following notice requirements are intended to comply with TextVA’s rights and obligations under the DMCA and, in particular, section 512(c), and do not constitute legal advice.

9. Payments
Your use of the Services is contingent on your paying for such use in advance, in the amounts and using the methods indicated on the TextVA Site. Your payment for the Services shall be deemed completed when TextVA receives the full amount of payment owed for such Services based on your plan. You are responsible to pay for any message or broadcast you attempt to send to any number, regardless of whether the message is actually received by the intended recipient if you are exceed your monthly usages based on your plan. As TextVA is dependent on other entities for the delivery of your messages and broadcasts, our price may require adjustment in order to account for costs that are not in our control. Accordingly, we may adjust our prices from time to time without prior notice.
Amounts to be charged may include sales and other taxes where applicable and any other amounts indicated on the Site. TextVA will assess an additional charge based on the costs TextVA incurs for porting each DID number assigned to you that you request to be ported within six months of the original assignment by TextVA and TextVA may further restrict the ability to port telephone numbers assigned to you by TextVA consistent with FCC regulations. Your account will be credited within 24 hours of TextVA verifying receipt of your payment. If you have elected to make a payment by credit card and we do not receive payment from the credit card issuer, you agree to pay all amounts due immediately upon demand by TextVA.
TextVA cannot readily or accurately ascertain your location when you request to use the Services. You therefore agree that your use of the Services occurs in New York and is subject to any applicable New York taxes.

TextVA shall not be responsible for any errors or transmission failures with regard to the charging and collection of funds from your indicated payment method, nor for any actions taken by the provider of the payment method you choose (which could include refusal to authorize the charge).
