High Risk Use
You may not use the Services in any application that may be deemed “high-risk” or in any situation where, in the normal course of use, service disruption could result in personal injury or death (e.g., phone services for 911 call centers or emergency response centers). You acknowledge and understand the Services may not be available in the event of a loss of power, internet or other unforeseen outage.
SMS and MMS Messaging
- Messages may only be sent from a human user via our web or mobile app; no automated, integrated or other computer-based application may be used to generate or send messages;
- Before sending an SMS or MMS message to any number you must have their express consent to do so (“Opt-in”). Implied consent is not considered sufficient (unless the recipient messages you first), nor is purchasing a list of “users who have opted into messaging”. Opt-in consent may be obtained via a web form where it is clearly explained that the user is opting into messaging, or by having them send a message to your number, or by some other intentional, documented method. You must keep records of how users opted-in to messaging as MNOs such as T-Mobile may require proof of that consent.
- It is required that you provide a way for users to opt out of your messages via text. They may do so by texting you clear keywords, including STOP and UNSUBSCRIBE. Tresta will automatically prevent messages being sent to phone numbers that have previously sent a “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” text to you, but you should always maintain your opt-out data independently as Tresta assumes no liability for messages you send on your Account.
- You must provide a way for recipients to request help via text. If a recipient sends you a message with HELP in the content, you must reply with information about how they can reach you for additional assistance, such as a phone number or email address.
- You may not send messages that contain prohibited content, defined as:
- Any message that is illegal, fraudulent or inappropriate as defined herein above;
- Any activity in connection or conjunction with any pornographic and/or adult entertainment industry purpose, regardless of whether such activity is lawfully permitted;
- Depictions or endorsements of violence, hate speech, or otherwise engaging in threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, libelous, deceptive or fraudulent behavior;
- Content related to the sale or promotion of substances that are classified as controlled substances under federal law, including marijuana (cannabis); or
- Content associated with age-restricted products and services, such as alcohol, firearms, or tobacco.
- You may not use Tresta’s Services to send or receive messages for the following purposes:
- Third-party or affiliate lead and/or commission generation
- Advertisements for loans
- Credit Repair offers
- Debt Relief
- Debt Collection
- Work from home, secret shopper, or other similar advertising campaigns
- You may not engage in “snowshoe messaging”, which is a technique used to spread messages across many sending phone numbers.
