DESCRIPTION OF THE MOBAUTO SERVICE
MOBAUTO provides text marketing software for business clients to drive consumer engagement and lead generation.
MOBAUTO is an automated and information-based text messaging platform. Each time a consumer requests information by text, the MOBAUTO platform will send an automated text message response containing a link to the information requested. Data collected from each text inquiry, including the information requested, along with the consumer mobile phone number, is captured and may be used by MOBAUTO (on behalf of the business client) in future text re-marketing efforts. Consumers may opt-out from receiving text communication at any time by replying STOP our OUT to any message.
The MOBAUTO Service is based on sending and receiving information-based text messages via major telecommunications companies and mobile network operators. The timing of the transmission of these messages falls within the technical constraints imposed upon us by them. While we use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver messages to the applicable network for final delivery as fast as possible, we cannot commit to, and do not guarantee, a specific maximum delivery time. Mobile network operators assign text messages with a default lifetime. Any message that cannot be delivered successfully within the lifetime assigned to it will be discarded by the mobile network operator without notice. We are not liable for any loss incurred by the failure or delay of a message to be delivered. Furthermore, you agree that the message contents are deemed to have zero value.
MOBAUTO also provides financial pre-qualification products and services with affiliate partners. THESE TRANSACTIONS ARE NOT TO BE CONSIDERED APPLICATIONS FOR CREDIT.
When you visit MOBAUTO or send e-mails or text messages through out platform, you are communicating with us electronically. You consent to receive communications from us electronically. We will communicate with you by e-mail, by text or by posting notices on our website. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures and other communications that we provide to you electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
COMPLIANCE WITH RULES AND LAWS
MOBAUTO represents and warrants that all of the services, apps, websites, products, templates, and features offered by MOBAUTO are in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local laws. MOBAUTO represents that it maintains all required licenses, registrations, permits, intellectual property rights and permissions necessary to perform and provide the services to our business customers under this Agreement. MOBAUTO represents that it will provide the services only by lawful means. MOBAUTO represents that the services being provided are in full compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
As a MOBAUTO business customer, unless you independently receive express written consent from the consumer agreeing to receive ongoing automated communication from you, you should not add any phone number collected through your use of the MOBAUTO platform to an automated or computer-based dialing system where messages or phone calls are sent and/or made in an automated or bulk format. This may be considered non-compliant with TCPA laws and could result in excessive fines and legal exposure.
If a consumer asks to be removed from your communication list, whether by text, call or email, you are required to honor that request by law. Both parties agree to maintain a DO NOT CALL List for any consumer who asks not to be called, texted or emailed moving forward. For any consumer that replies “STOP” or "OUT" to any text received, MOBAUTO will remove that number from receiving a message in the future from the MOBAUTO platform.
As laws pertaining to this subject matter change on a regular basis, you agree to familiarize yourself with the legalities of any calls or messages made/sent to consumers outside the confines of the MOBAUTO Service. The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) The Federal Communication Commission (FCC) and the DNC (Do Not Call) Registry, as well as various state, laws, rules and regulations place restrictions on certain types of phone calls, mobile messages and other forms of communication.
MOBAUTO will in no way attempt to interpret the TCPA or any other state or federal laws, rules or regulations on your behalf. This information is being provided as a courtesy and is not intended to replace your responsibility to familiarize yourself with, and abide by, the legal requirements pertaining to communication with your customers.
You take full responsibility, legal and otherwise, to make your own informed decisions regarding your use of the data and phone numbers collected and offered to you resulting from your use of the MOBAUTO Service.
As a MOBAUTO customer, you agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations relating to your use of the Service, including the collection, distribution and use of data, and your obligations under this Agreement. You are responsible for the compliance of your affiliates, employees, agents and consultants (collectively Associates) with the terms of this Agreement and any applicable laws or regulations. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless MOBAUTO and employees, directors, officers and agents, against any loss, damage, award or expense (including reasonable attorney fees) involving a claim that you or your Associates have violated or allegedly violated applicable laws or regulations related to the services provided by this Agreement.
