Terms and Conditions

This Service Agreement (the “Agreement”) constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between Good Egg Media LLC d/b/a AGENT511, an Illinois limited liability company, (“AGENT511”) and the Client (“Client”) with respect to the sales and use of AGENT511’s Text Messaging Services (the “Services”). Client’s execution and delivery of this Agreement shall constitute Client’s acceptance of all terms contained herein.


1. Service Description: AGENT511 offers a hosted, managed text messaging service. The consumer accesses information on his/her mobile phone by text messaging a unique keyword or by subscribing to an opt-in text messaging alert assigned to a Client’s campaign.

2. Service Abuses: The Client must use a unique keyword for its intended purpose. Any keyword receiving or sending a volume of text inquiries appearing to be SPAM may be blocked. Mobile phone numbers are not to be shared by the Client with any 3rd party. The Client must cease communications with any mobile user who has not opted-in for subsequent communications. AGENT511 will immediately notify the Client of any complaints and reserves the right to immediately terminate this Agreement.

3. Term of Services: Unless subject to a separate agreement between both parties, the Service is contracted month-to-month. Clients must cancel the Service 5 days in advance of the month end to avoid incurring the next month’s fees. Either party may unilaterally terminate this Agreement at any time with or without cause, unless otherwise contracted.

4. Technical support. Any technical support issue submitted via support@agent511.com will be responded to within 72 hours of the receipt of the communications.

5. CARRIER REQUIREMENTS FOR SMS MESSAGING SERVICES. Customer understands that one or more Carriers may obligate AGENT511 to require certain commitments and representations from entities seeking to use such Carriers’ services and/or equipment, that AGENT511 may be required to deliver and obtain agreement to terms of use of the Carriers’ services and/or one or more Carriers’ services or equipment from Subscribers, that certain Carriers may place limitations on the type, length, maximum rate of message flow, or other characteristics of messages that such Carriers will agree to handle at a given time, and that until such agreement(s) have been entered into, AGENT511 may not be permitted to perform under this Agreement with respect to such Carriers. .

a. Message Blocking. Customer acknowledges that Carriers reserve the right to investigate any Subscriber complaints alleging a violation by AGENT511 or its content providers of a Carrier agreement or a violation of requirements imposed by Carriers on AGENT511 and/or its content providers (including Customer). Customer acknowledges that if a Carrier reasonably believes that AGENT511 has violated such requirements and that such violation may affect the applicable Carrier Interface or a Carrier network that Carrier may refuse to transmit Messages and may suspend or remove AGENT511’s access to the Carrier Interface. If Carriers notify AGENT511 of any alleged violation, and AGENT511 does not promptly remedy such violation (for example, by denying access to a Subscriber sending inappropriate messages to other Subscribers), the applicable Carrier may also terminate its agreement concerning access of the AGENT511 Service to such Carriers network. Customer further acknowledges that if a Carrier receives a complaint from a customer or a governmental or law enforcement agency (“Outside Complaint”) claiming that any Messages are unlawful, obscene, racially or ethnically offensive or depict sexually explicit materials or infringe on the intellectual property rights of others, the Carrier may notify AGENT511 in writing of such Outside Complaint and, in addition, may suspend such Carrier’s interface connection with AGENT511 until such time as the complaint is remedied or otherwise resolved. AGENT511 has agreed to remedy any such complaints as promptly as is commercially reasonable. Customer acknowledges that such remedies may include without limitation removing the recipient of mobile-terminated messages from various participant lists or blocking certain access to the AGENT511 Service. Customer acknowledges that the obligations described in this Section 4 may prevent AGENT511 from performing under this Agreement with respect to such Carriers.


b. Damage to Carrier Property. Neither AGENT511 nor Customer will knowingly use or assist others to use Carrier communications services (or any equipment or network connections used with such services) in any way that damages Carrier property or interferes with or disrupts a Carrier network, Carrier Interface, or customers.


c. Privacy. Customer acknowledges that Carriers cannot guarantee the privacy of Messages, and that AGENT511 has agreed that Carriers will not be liable to AGENT511 or its content providers, customers or users for any lack of privacy or security experienced when using the AGENT511 Service. Customer also acknowledges that to the extent permitted by law, Carriers have the right to intercept and disclose any transmissions over their facilities in order to protect their rights or property, including without limitation, to protect the efficient operation of their networks or to comply with governmental authorities.


d. Carrier Charges. Customer acknowledges that for any Message originated by a Carrier subscriber and transmitted to AGENT511 or another Carrier subscriber, the Carrier subscriber will be charged at the text messaging rate reflected in their rate plan.


e. NO LIABILITY FOR ACTIONS BY CARRIERS. CUSTOMER UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT, WITH RESPECT TO CARRIER COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES: (A) ONE HUNDRED PERCENT OF THE MESSAGES MAY NOT BE DELIVERED; AND (B) NEITHER AGENT511 NOR ANY CARRIER WILL BE LIABLE TO CUSTOMER FOR ANY MESSAGES DELETED OR NOT DELIVERED, REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR DELETION OR NON-DELIVERY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, MESSAGE PROCESSING OR TRANSMISSION ERRORS. NEITHER AGENT511 NOR ANY CARRIER MAKES ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES REGARDING THE QUALITY, RELIABILITY, TIMELINESS OR SECURITY OF THE CARRIER COMMUNICATIONS SERVICES OR THAT THEY WILL BE ERROR-FREE, UNINTERRUPTED, FREE FROM UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR THAT ALL MESSAGES WILL BE DELIVERED.
