Annex 1 – Service Description: SMS Gateway

The SMS Gateway Service enables the User to send SMS messages to all types of GSM mobile phones via the online platform or via an API (HTTP, REST or SMPP). The Service can be used for promotional, service or informational purposes and Messages can be delivered to networks worldwide.

 

The SMS can be sent, network permitting, with an alphanumeric sender ID (maximum 11 characters) or a numeric sender ID (maximum 15 digits).

Each SMS can contain up to 160 characters (Unicode 70 characters). Messages longer than 160 characters can be sent into multi part (concatenated).

 

Concatenated SMS Messages will be charged as per below:

GSM encoding Standard (Latin Text):

• Up to 160 characters = 1 SMS

• Up to 306 characters = 2 SMS

• Up to 459 characters = 3 SMS

• Up to 612 characters = 4 SMS

• Up to 765 characters = 5 SMS

 

UTF-16 encoding (Non Latin text containing special characters mainly used for Arabic and Asian languages):

• Up to 70 characters = 1 SMS

• Up to 134 characters = 2 SMS

• Up to 201 characters = 3 SMS

• Up to 268 characters = 4 SMS

• Up to 335 characters = 5 SMS

 

Delivery Reports for SMS traffic are provided by the network operator or third party provider. Fortytwo cannot guarantee the accuracy of these reports at all times.

 

For SMS there is no minimum TTL value, but the maximum TTL value is forty-eight (48) hours.

 

For SMS the TTL is not guaranteed, as delivery depends on Fortytwo infrastructure as well as third-party carriers and network operators.

 

Annex 2 – Service Description: IM Gateway

The IM Gateway enables the User to send and receive Instant Messages (“IM”) to and from IM users worldwide via the Client Control Panel or via the API (REST).

 

To be able to use the IM Gateway Service, the User shall set up a sender ID with a profile image. The sender ID can be alphanumeric or numeric (maximum twenty (20) characters/digits) and the User can select to set up a 1-Way or a 2-Way sender ID. The approval of such sender ID is at the discretion of Fortytwo.

 

The IM Gateway Service allows the User to send personal, informative, transactional, service and promotional Messages. For the purposes of these Terms of Use, promotional Message shall mean a Message which contains any information that promotes the User’s business agenda, the User’s business offer or commercial information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Messages that are not transactional and/or targeted to a specific recipient shall be considered as promotional.

 

Even though the IM Gateway Service allows the Users to send promotional Messages, the first Message sent from the User to a recipient must be personal, informative and a targeted Message; the User shall not send promotional Message as the first Message sent to the recipient through the IM Gateway Service.

 

The User must ensure that all promotional Messages are tagged “Promotional” in the REST API request or highlighted as promotional when sending the IM via the Client Control Panel.

 

The Instant Message can contain up to one thousand (1000) characters.

 

The User can either send 1-Way or 2-Way Instant Messages, each of which requires a different sender ID. 2-Way IM messaging enables recipients to reply to the Users Messages and initiate a conversation with the User, while 1-Way IM does not provide such option of replying to the IM.

The User will have the option to select from the below routing logics:

1. Feature First Routing (FFR) 

   Message is sent as an Instant Message as the preferred option. If the Instant Message is not delivered in accordance with the TTL set by the User, the Message will be sent as an SMS.

2. Least Price Routing (LPR)

   By choosing this logic, each Message will be sent through the lowest cost route for the destination, i.e. if SMS is the cheapest option the Message will be sent through SMS, if IM is the cheapest option the Message will be sent through IM.

3. IM only

   By using this logic all Messages will be sent as IM. If the Message is not delivered, it will not fail over to SMS.

 

For IM the TTL can be set from a minimum of fifteen (15) seconds up to twenty-four (24) hours or for a definite period of fourteen (14) days. Should no TTL value be set, the default is twenty-four (24) hours. In the event that the IM status does not state “delivered” within the set TTL, the IM shall not be charged and:

• In android systems, the Message will not appear;

• In iOS systems, the recipient shall see an alternate text.

 

For SMS there is no minimum TTL value, but the maximum TTL value is forty-eight (48) hours.

 

For SMS the TTL is not guaranteed, as delivery depends on Fortytwo infrastructure as well as third-party carriers and network operators.

 

In order to activate the IM Service, the User shall be required to register a Sender ID, as per registration form provided by Fortytwo. Once the Sender ID is registered, the minimum commitment for each Sender ID depends on the country the IM is sent to, currently up to three hundred Euro (€300) per month (“Minimum Monthly Commitment”). As a result, in the event that the User, through the specific Sender ID, has not used the IM Service to corresponding Minimum Monthly Commitment (currently up to three hundred Euro (€300) per month), shall be charged such amount nevertheless.

​

The price list with Minimum Monthly Commitment can be accessed from Fortytwo’s website. The User is solely responsible to check about updated prices, including any Minimum Monthly Commitments and Global Coverage List prior to using the IM Service.

 

For the IM Service above Minimum Monthly Commitment, the User shall be charged on actual usage.

 

For the avoidance of any doubt, in the event that the User subscribes to the IM Service during any calendar month, in such manner that not the full month is utilised, the Minimum Monthly Commitment shall not apply, and the User shall pay the actual usage Charge for that calendar month.

 

In the event that the User wishes to de-register any active Sender ID, such request needs to be sent to Fortytwo before the 15th day of the current month or in the event that the 15th day of the month is not a Working Day, to the closest Working Day prior to the 15th day of that month, for the registration to be effective as of the 15th day of that month. In the event that such request comes in after the above-mentioned 15th day of the month or closest prior Working Day, de-registration shall be effective as of the 15th day of the following month.

 

The User shall be liable to pay all Charges, including prorated amount of the Minimum Monthly Commitment, until de-registration comes into force.

 

The User shall agree to and be obliged to follow any guidelines and policies with regards to the Service, listed on the Client Control Panel and the Website, as updated from time to time.

 

The User acknowledges that any individual Spam IM Message sent through the IM Service, shall result in a penalty of five thousand Euro (€5,000) and the User shall be liable to indemnify and reimburse Fortytwo for such penalty. Spam IM Message shall be considered an IM Message that has been sent without obtaining the opt-in from the end user and/or the content is not in accordance with these Terms of Use, any policies and guidelines available or applicable law.

 

Annex 3 – Service Description: SMS 2-Way Messaging Service

With the 2-Way Messaging Service the User can set up a dedicated virtual number to receive inbound SMS from its customers. The incoming SMS can be accessed and managed on the online platform or forwarded to an email or an API.

 

Annex 4 – Service Description: 2-Factor Authentication Service

1. Fortytwo shall also provide to its Users, a solution, in order to validate and verify that the submitted telephone number is under the control of the User’s end client applying for the User’s service (hereinafter “2-Factor Authentication Service”).

2.

Annex 5 – Service Description: Fortytwo Voice

Fortytwo Voice enables the User to send voice Messages via a REST API. The Service can be used for promotional or informational purposes and Messages can be delivered to mobile and landline phones worldwide.

 

The User can either select to broadcast a pre-recorded audio file in MP3 or WAV format, or use the Text-To-Speech (“TTS”) option, which converts written text into spoken voice. For TTS the User can choose from different languages and specify a voice gender (male or female) in which the text is spoken. There is no minimum or maximum length for the voice Message. The quality of the voice Message is dependent on the audio file or written text provided. Depending on the size of the audio file or the length of the TTS text, there may be a delay from when the call is answered and the voice Message is played.

 

The User also sets the desired Caller ID to show to Message recipients, up to a maximum of fifteen (15) digits or eleven (11) alphanumeric characters, set ring and call timeouts (minimum ten (10) seconds) and other call options as per Service documentation available on the Fortytwo website. The User can also enable Keypress Capture, which reports the first phone key pressed during a call (digit 1-9).

 

To be able to use Fortytwo Voice, the User will need to set up an authentication token on the Client Control Panel. The User can select between two (2) service options, Voice or Voice Plus.
