Message Service Usage Policy
This Message Service Acceptable Usage Policy is based on current "best industry practice" and draws on the experience of users
and providers of Message Services including email, instant message services, SMS messages and multi media services across the
message services community.
Exchanging communication with others generally involves using common sense regarding the content material and being polite
and courteous. The vast majority of textagroup.com's customers understand what is appropriate when sending or receiving messages.
Message Services are without doubt an extremely effective and convenient method of communication.
They are fast and cheap and within seconds of sending a message, it will be with its recipient.
Regrettably, there are occasions when individuals or groups of people exchange messages or involve in online activities,
which are considered to be unacceptable by the Internet community.
This is described by the generic term of "abuse". Although much unsolicited messages, particularly e-mail (SPAM), may
just be a harmless but annoying way of advertising products or services, some can be as distressing as receiving malicious
telephone calls.
Abusive Messages
It is not always obvious whether an e-mail, SMS or other Message activity is innocent, inadvertent, or intentional but as a
general rule users should be aware that what is unacceptable (and possibly illegal) offline (oral or written), applies equally
to Message Services.
As with telephone calls, you must not send any Message that causes annoyance, inconvenience or needless anxiety.
You should not send false messages likely to cause distress (e.g. advising the recipient that a relative has been in an
accident when they have not), or any other material which is distressing, grossly offensive, indecent, obscene, menacing
or in any other way unlawful.
Particular care should be taken to avoid any material, which is offensive to people on grounds of gender, race, colour, religion
or other similar categorisation.
