Thanks for using textPlus, created by GOGII and powered by our GOGII Platform. These Terms of Use govern your use of textPlus, and you must read and agree to these Terms of Use before you can use textPlus. By using textPlus, you're agreeing to be bound by these Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of the following Terms of Use, please do not use textPlus.
textPlus is a downloadable software application for mobile devices that allows its users to send and receive text messages, both on a one-to-one basis and in groups, all for free. textPlus is free to download and free to use (meaning you will not be charged for the text messages you send or receive using the textPlus application), except as set forth below.
If you use textPlus on a cellular network (rather than via Wi-Fi), standard data rates may apply, according to your wireless plan. And if you're traveling outside of your home country, please check with your wireless carrier before using textPlus on a foreign cellular network (rather than via Wi-Fi), as international data roaming may apply and can get expensive very quickly. Also, if you choose to be notified of your incoming textPlus messages via SMS (which is completely optional), standard messaging rates will apply to those notification messages, and they will count towards any messaging limit applicable to you, according to your wireless plan.
People receiving and replying to textPlus messages on a mobile phone (via SMS) will be charged standard text messaging fees, and these messages will count towards any messaging limit applicable to them, according to their wireless plan.
If you are receiving unwanted messages from someone using textPlus or otherwise want to opt out of receiving textPlus messages, you can text the word STOPALL to 60611, and this will prevent textPlus messages (from anyone) from being sent to your mobile device. You can always restart the textPlus message flow later by texting the word START to 60611.
You must be at least 13 years old to use textPlus. If you are not at least 13 years old, do not use textPlus. If you are under 18 years old, your parent or legal guardian must also read and agree to be bound by these Terms of Use.
Certain other end user license agreements and/or terms of use (such as those published by your wireless carrier and/or mobile device manufacturer) may also govern your use of textPlus, provided that our Terms of Use will control in the event of a conflict with any such other agreement.
The content of textPlus, other than Submissions by users, including all software, text, visual, and audio content ("Content") and GOGII's trademarks and logos, including GOGII, 60611, and textPlus ("Marks"), is owned by or licensed to GOGII and is protected under U.S. and international laws.
You are responsible for your use of textPlus, and for any use of textPlus made using your device. You agree not to access, copy, or otherwise use textPlus, including our Content and Marks, except as authorized by these Terms of Use or as otherwise authorized in writing by GOGII. If you decide to enter a mobile phone number (or other personal information) in connection with your use of textPlus, you agree only to enter the mobile phone number associated with your account (and other accurate personal information about you). You also agree not to use textPlus to:
violate any law or regulation;
violate or infringe other people's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights;
transmit anything that is illegal, abusive, harassing, harmful to reputation, pornographic, indecent, profane, obscene, hateful, racist, or otherwise objectionable in our reasonable opinion;
violate any contract, rules or policies that govern the use of your mobile device, as directed by your wireless carrier and/or mobile device manufacturer;
send unwanted messages or any unauthorized advertising or commercial communications, such as spam;

We reserve the right to reclaim any GOGII usernames and other unique IDs on behalf of businesses or individuals that we believe may have trademark rights or other legal claims to them.
textPlus may allow you to submit material for hosting, display, and distribution to others ("Submissions"), such as posting or sharing photos, profiles, audio and video clips, and other content. When you send us a Submission, you grant GOGII and its affiliates, representatives and assigns a non-exclusive, fully-paid, royalty-free, world-wide, transferable license to display, publicly perform, distribute, store, broadcast, transmit, reproduce, modify, and otherwise use and reuse all or part of your Submission (and anything we make using your Submission) through textPlus and the GOGII Platform. We reserve the right to display advertisements in connection with your Submissions, and to use your Submissions to advertise and promote textPlus and GOGII.
We are not required to host, display, or distribute any Submissions, and we may refuse to accept or transmit Submissions, and may remove them from textPlus at any time.
By sending a Submission, you promise that you own all rights to your Submission or, alternatively, that you have the right to give us the license described above. You also promise that you have paid and will pay in full all fees or other payments related to the use of your Submission. Finally, you promise that your Submission does not infringe the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, or other legal rights of any third party.

If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send GOGII's copyright agent a notification with all of the following information:

information reasonably sufficient to permit GOGII to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address;
a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

textPlus may contain links to other websites (such as in advertisements), or allow others to send you such links. A link to a third party's website does not mean that we endorse it or that we are affiliated with it. We do not exercise control over third-party websites. You access such third-party websites or content at your own risk. You should always read the terms of use and privacy policy of a third-party website before using it. GOGII will not be responsible for any damage or loss related to the use of any content, goods or services available on or through any third-party website.

GOGII reserves the right not to provide textPlus to any user, and also reserves the right to terminate any textPlus user at any time, in our discretion. If you violate any of these Terms of Use, your permission to use textPlus will automatically terminate.
WE TRY TO KEEP TEXTPLUS UP, BUG-FREE, AND SAFE, BUT YOU USE TEXTPLUS AT YOUR OWN RISK. TEXTPLUS IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, GOGII AND ITS AFFILIATES EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO TEXTPLUS (INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT).

YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ANY MATERIAL OR INFORMATION DOWNLOADED OR OTHERWISE OBTAINED THROUGH THE USE OF TEXTPLUS IS DONE AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE ARISING FROM DOING SO. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM GOGII OR THROUGH TEXTPLUS WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY MADE IN THESE TERMS OF USE.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER GOGII NOR ITS OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS, OR LICENSORS WILL BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF REVENUES, PROFITS, GOODWILL, USE, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES (EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES WERE ADVISED OF, KNEW OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES), ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE USE OF TEXTPLUS.
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent GOGII may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit its liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of GOGII's liability will be the minimum permitted under such law.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless GOGII, and its parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, and agents, from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees of any kind (including reasonable attorneys' fees and legal costs), arising from or relating to: (a) any information (including your Submissions, messages, feedback, or any other content) you or anyone using your account or device submit, post, or transmit using textPlus; (b) the use of textPlus by you or anyone using your account or device; (c) the violation of these Terms of Use by you or anyone using your account or device; or (d) the violation of any rights of any third party, including intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other proprietary rights by you or anyone using your account or device. GOGII reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, in which event you will cooperate with GOGII in asserting any available defenses.
Under no circumstances will GOGII be held liable for any delay or failure in performance due in whole or in part to any acts of nature or other causes beyond its reasonable control.

If any provision of these Terms of Use is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms of Use and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The failure of GOGII to enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use will not be deemed a waiver of that right or provision.
