In order to use the SMS service, you require the necessary resources for mobile communication. Certain mobile phone applications are only available on a select number of mobile telephones. This is a matter for mobile phone manufacturers and it is therefore not a liability of the Provider.

IN ADDITION, YOU MUST HAVE A SUBSCRIPTION FOR MOBILE PHONE COMMUNICATION WITH A PARTICIPATING MOBILE NETWORK PROVIDER, OR HAVE ACCESS TO A MOBILE COMMUNICATION NETWORK BY SOME OTHER MEANS, THROUGH WHICH THE PROVIDER CAN MAKE THE SERVICE AVAILABLE, AND YOU MUST ALSO HAVE ACCESS TO THE SERVICES AND HAVE ENTERED THE CORRECT SETTINGS FOR YOUR MOBILE PHONE PROVIDER, REQUIRED TO DOWNLOAD THE CONTENT.

All rates, including payments for existing subscriptions can be changed after a notice from the Provider. The Provider will notify you in time of any such changes. In the event you do not accept the new rates (which would never apply with retrospective effect), you can terminate your subscription and/or your relationship with the Provider with immediate effect. Any invoicing by a third party is governed by the terms of payment of the third party concerned. You will pay or indemnify the Provider for any national and local or other taxes (with the exception of tax based on the Provider's net profit) including, but not limited to sales tax, user-related property tax and betting tax or any other alternative taxes, based on the costs due for using the Service, regardless of whether the tax concerned is imposed now or in the future by international, European, national or local authorities or by another instance or instances with the authority to impose tax.

The Provider may grant you access to certain Services without you having to register as a user, for example for registering your mobile phone for the SMS service. In that event, your identification will be based on the method we deem appropriate, such as your mobile telephone number. You will in any case receive a welcoming message from the Provider. We ask you to check the message and to save it to the memory of your mobile phone.

USE, STORAGE, MONITORING AND REMOVAL OF INFORMATION We reserve the right to check any advertising messages, text messages, public announcements and messages in order to ensure that they comply with the prevailing guidelines. Although we are unable to check all the messages sent by users of the Service and are not responsible for the content of these messages, we nevertheless reserve the right, without assuming the responsibility, to remove or move over profiles, public announcements and text messages which we judge to be at odds with our General and Specific Terms and Conditions or other applicable guidelines, or if we judge it in any way unacceptable. You yourself have full responsibility for the content of the profiles, public announcements and (text) messages stored on the Service or sent to users of the Service. If you are of the opinion that an advertising message, text message or public announcement on the Sites constitutes and infringement of the data protection act, you can read in our data protection policy what you can do about it. All text messages are screened and content with explicit pornographic content is removed. Users who behave inappropriately will be removed from the Sites.

Information is available on the Internet pages associated with the Service and/or via the SMS service. The free welcoming message of the Provider also contains information on how to serve notice on the Service. In general, the information that is received via the SMS service can be interrupted by sending an SMS starting with the keyword STOP, or other information as contained in the Sites. You can send this message to the abbreviated number (the short code). For further details, see the Specific Terms and Conditions, the "landing page" of the Sites and/or click on your country's flag. In addition, you can send an email to the address given on the Sites and/or via the Service, or you can call the number, given in the Specific Terms and Conditions. In that case, the termination will take effect within 48 hours from receipt of the cancellation notice. However, the costs may still feature on your mobile phone bill for the following month, because mobile network providers invoice in arrears. The Provider can interrupt or terminate your use of the Service at any time as it sees fit and without any prior warning, removing and deleting the Registered Information within the Service.
