Terms of Service

Date: October 2015

1. Your acceptance to use the Service

The Service is provided to you by Vodafone Sales and Services Ltd (“VSSL”, “we”, “us”), registered in England and Wales at Vodafone House, The Connection, Newbury, Berkshire RG14 2FN, under registered number 06844137 and registered VAT number GB 569 95 32 77.

BY USING THE SERVICE YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE. If you choose not to agree with any of these terms, you may not use the Service.

2. Using the Service

The Service allows enhanced calling and messaging with other compatible devices. To be compatible, the devices must support Rich Communication Services (“RCS”). Some aspects of the Service also require a cellular data connection, or for the device to be connected to Wi-Fi.

If you and/or your recipient don’t have a RCS compatible client, or for any other reason the content cannot be delivered over the internet, your messages will be sent via normal SMS in accordance with your price plan (a notification will appear where SMS will be used).

You are responsible for your messages and any content that you share, so make sure that they comply with all laws which may apply. In particular, you must make sure your messages and content are not harmful or offensive and that you own all rights in the content you send to your contacts. You should not share music or video files unless you own all relevant rights to them. Sharing music or video without the permission of the copyright owner is unlawful.

To use the Service, you must be 16 years old or more, or have permission from your parent or guardian.
