LIMITATIONS OF SEASMS PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES

SMS Messages will be considered as delivered when SeaSms has delivered, or sent the messages to the immediate destination that Microsys Messaging Platform has been programmed to do, which include SMPP/SMTP servers, or Mobile Telephone Networks. In addition, any other intermediary server or API is also deemed to be the point of dispatch of the message.

Although SeaSms makes all efforts to ensure delivery and prides itself on speedy delivery of messages, messages may be delivered late as a result of queuing or network congestion/traffic.

SeaSms lays no claim to its network coverage. Although SeaSms focuses on giving extensive coverage aggregation services, the mobile networks may choose from time to time to not be a part of Microsys or of its Service Providers’ Networks. This may lead to messages not being delivered to those particular networks. At any point in time, there can be networks that SeaSms is unable to deliver to.

SeaSms reserves the right to block the transmission and receipt of an SMS message if an advertising sponsor does not exist in the destination region or an intended recipient has requested that all SeaSms messages be blocked from delivery to their mobile phone (Private Do Not SMS Registry).

SeaSms reserves the right to block messages from being send across its network that are the subject of end receiver’s complaint or messages that SeaSms considers to be unlawful, harassing, libellous, abusive, threatening, and harmful, vulgar, obscene or otherwise objectionable.
