Are there terms and conditions that must be used?
The JANET txt Master Agreement is a 4-year framework agreement between a customer and PageOne Communications Ltd. The customer is not committing to anything other than to abide by the terms defined within the Agreement. However, it does mean that at any time during those 4 years you can place orders for bundles of texts or other JANET txt services. All individual services ordered have a minimum term of 12 months. Block SMS Messages purchased are valid for 12 months from order date and will expire after that date, with no refund unless further blocks of texts are purchased within one month of expiry date, in which case they will be revalidated for a further 12months.
How to order:
Individual orders are placed by signing and returning the JANET txt Master Agreement, to PageOne, deciding on the size of the block of text messages to purchase and letting PageOne know how many 1-way and/or 2-way User Accounts are required. PageOne will set-up your account and provision your service within 24 hours.
Your Master Agreement No. will be issued by PageOne upon receipt of a signed JANET txt Master Agreement and is not needed for your initial order.
Subsequent orders can be sent via email or fax providing your Master Agreement No. is quoted. Orders are placed subject to the terms and conditions of the JANET txt Master Agreement.
