If you do not agree to these prices, charges, terms and conditions, do not use the Services.

 

This Agreement applies if you have subscribed or downloaded the app 'Secret Message'. TeleStar reserves the right to change the Terms at any time.

 

1. Services 

The Secret Message App offers you, among other things, the ability to create messages that can be viewed only at specific time and location. The message is displayed using a web browser from the recipient phone or computer. While the app helps the user to send the message the actual transfer is done via standard means uncontrolled by the app, for example SMS messages, email or any other messaging app. 

 

1.1. Acceptance

In its sole discretion, TeleStar may accept or reject your order for Services for any lawful reason. Before activation of any Service, TeleStar may check your credit, verify your identity, charge a deposit, prepayment or other fee to establish or maintain Services, or require that you execute any authorisations and verifications it deems necessary. For any number of reasons, the Services may not be activated immediately.

 

1.2. Credit Limits and Deposits

If TeleStar bills you for the Services and we determine that you may be a credit risk because of (1) fraudulent or abusive use of any Services; (2) late payments for current or prior bills; or (3) high volume usage of the Services (each a "Credit Risk"), TeleStar may set a  limit to your use of the Services. If you exceed the limit, TeleStar reserves the right to restrict your access to the Services, and will provide notice of such restriction as soon as reasonably practicable.

Users without subscription can cancel the Service by uninstalling the app from the phone. Subscribed users should in addition cancel their subscription  from the iPhone settings.

The discontinuance of the Services by TeleStar does not relieve you of any obligation to pay TeleStar for charges due and owing for Services furnished up to the time of discontinuance. Without derogating from any of the aforesaid, Telestar may reject your order for Services if it has reasonable grounds to believe that you are expected to cause a User Default.
