1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS
txtlocal Ltd provides its service to you, subject to the following Terms of Service ("TOS"), which may be updated by us from time to time without notice to you. You can review the most current version of the TOS at any time at: terms.php. In addition, when using particular txtlocal services, you and txtlocal shall be subject to any posted guidelines or rules applicable to such services that may be posted from time to time. All such guidelines or rules are hereby incorporated by reference into the TOS.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE
txtlocal provides users with access to a collection of resources, including, various communications tools and personalized content through its network of properties (the "Service"). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Service, including the release of new txtlocal properties, shall be subject to the TOS. txtlocal currently provides users with the ability to forward SMS messages through its system. You understand that for the purposes of the TOS txtlocal does not send an SMS message, or cause an SMS message to be sent, merely because txtlocal provides a service that enables SMS messages to be sent. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that txtlocal assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, miss-delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalisation settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees, including those fees associated with the display or delivery of advertisements. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service. You will be required to acknowledge you have read and understand the TOS by registering your acknowledgment through the txtlocal website.

3. REGISTRATION
In consideration of your use of the Service, you agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration system (such information being the "Registration Data"). If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or txtlocal has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, txtlocal has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

If you are under the age of eighteen (18), txtlocal requires you to gain permission to register and use the service from a parent or guardian. Should you be under eighteen (18) and these TOS are wrongfully accepted without a parent or guardians permission, it is taken that the TOS will still apply as would ordinary transactions, freely chose, in ordinary market conditions.

4. USER CONDUCT
You understand that all information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages or other materials ("Content"), whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Content originated. This means that you, and not txtlocal, are entirely responsible for all Content that you upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Service. txtlocal does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will txtlocal be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, for any errors or omissions in any Content, or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, transmitted or otherwise made available via the Service.
