TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SKIPIO USERS
1. REGISTRATION
Thank you for choosing Skipio, LLC (the “Company,” “we”, “us”, or “our”). These are the terms and conditions (the “Terms”) that apply to your use of the Company’s website located at www.Skipio.com (the “Site”) and to those services identified in documentation provided to you by email, on the Site, or by any other means in connection with any purchase, or any other services provided by the Company (collectively referred to as the “Services”). Please read these Terms before registering for the Services. By completing your registration and clicking on the “I Accept” button below, you will become a registered user (a “User,” or, alternatively, “you”, “your”, “yours”) of the Services and Licensed IP and you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to the Terms, please do not register for the Services. The Terms are subject to change by the Company at any time; however, the most current version of the Terms is available by clicking on the link at the bottom of the Site. We encourage you to regularly review the Terms to ensure that you are aware of any changes. By continuing to use the Services after changes in the Terms have been posted on the Site, you agree to be bound by the most current version of the Terms.
By registering for, using or receiving the Services, you: represent that you are 18 years of age or older; represent that you have the legal capacity and authority to bind yourself and/or the person or entity for whom you are accepting these Terms; represent, warrant and covenant that the information and data that you have provided or will provide to the Company is or will be correct and complete in all respects, and that you have the right to provide such information and data to the Company; acknowledge that the Company has and will rely upon the information and data that you provide and that any incorrect or incomplete information that you provide to the Company may result in the Company withholding, suspending or terminating the Services and/or terminating this agreement; and agree to be bound by these Terms, as it may be updated by the Company from time to time in its sole discretion.
During the registration process, Skipio may offer a one-time free trial period in which you may use our service for 14 days (or 30 days for specific channel partners) from the date you register without paying in advance.
If you sign up for our free trial offering, you must cancel our service before the free trial period ends to avoid incurring any charges. If you do not cancel the service before your free trial expires, you authorize us to charge your credit card the full amount of the subscription, as described to you during the registration process. Your account will then renew and continue month-to month until you cancel your subscription (See Section 8 Cancellation). You are not guaranteed to receive notice from Skipio that your free trial is about to end or has ended.
You may cancel your free trial at any time during your free trial period by following the steps described in Section 8 – Cancellation.
All Skipio users are required to register their 10DLC (10-digit long code) number with The Campaign Registry to be compliant with the new messaging standards for carriers. All companies using SMS messaging must provide the following information: Business Entity, Name of Business, First Name, Last Name, Support phone number, Support email, Business Address, Country, Industry, and Vertical.
All Skipio users will also need to register the messaging use case (also known as a campaign). Information required: examples of messaging you send to your contacts and attributes of your messaging. Inaccurate info could impact message deliverability and incur messaging fees. If your business is not accepted for registration with The Campaign Registry, we cannot bypass that and open a Skipio account. If this does occur, you are not eligible for a refund for your subscription with Skipio.
Violating 10DLC guidelines can incur the following fees:
- Text Enablement Fee: $10,000 USD if a company or a message sender text-enables a 10-digit NANP telephone number and sends messages before verification of message sender ownership
- Grey Route: $10 USD per message for each 10DLC message sent by a message sender via a P2P route
- Program Evasion: $1,000 USD for each unique instance of a violation (snowshoeing, dynamic routing, spam filter evasion, unapproved campaign service)
- Content violation: $10,000 USD for the third and any subsequent notification of a violation from the same content provider
Each individual business is responsible for compliance. Any fees incurred from violating these terms will be passed through to the individual business and not paid for by Skipio. In addition to these fees (fees are determined by each carrier), violating the terms can also include decline in deliverability and blocking of all deliverability of messages. If this does occur, Skipio will not refund your subscription due to your violation of 10DLC terms.
1A. BILLING
Skipio is a subscription-based service and subscription charges are not based on usage.
At the end of your first billing cycle or any billing cycle thereafter, your Skipio account will automatically renew and will continue to be active and your credit card will be charged for the billing cycle until such time as you cancel your account. Such cancellation must be done in accordance with the requirements outlined in these Terms and Conditions.
Skipio will not refund payments based on failure to cancel subscription prior to the charge for the next billing cycle.
If your Message and Ringless Voicemail account is more than seven (7) days overdue, we reserve the right to suspend your account until those charges are collected. We will give you at least 5 days prior notice that your account is overdue and attempt to contact you through email and text (from the information you provided at sign-up for the subscription) before suspending your services.
To view or update your billing information, including but not limited to your subscription price, date renewal, overages, and message limits, log in to Skipio and select the profile button found in the bottom left-hand corner and choose My Profile from the menu that appears. Select the Billing tab to view your information.
If there exists any conflict between these Terms and the terms of any other offer for the Services, these Terms will govern. For information regarding how information is gathered and used at the Site, please read our Privacy Policy.
