USE OF SERVICES

related material for the creation of the Promotions, including but not limited
to the Promotion's details, design and creative ("Content"). As

responsible for any undertakings created with End-Users through the
distribution of the Promotions and
as otherwise related, and 121Mobile shall in no way be liable for any offers
made through a Promotion to End-Users.

continued use of the Services. Advertiser will
notify us immediately if any of the above becomes inaccurate.
Advertiser furthermore
agrees, to the fullest extent permissible by law, that
with respect to the Controlling the Assault of Non-solicited Pornography and
Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM) and any
regulations promulgated thereunder, that Advertiser, and not 121Mobilr, is the
"sender" of any electronic Promotion sent on its behalf. Advertiser agrees that as the provider of the Content

shall be in compliance with any applicable federal, state, and local laws and
regulations, including those relating to advertising, sales or promotional

Promotions that are not appropriate for children under 18 years of age.
We reserve the right to monitor some, all, or no areas of the Promotions
for adherence to proper use of the Services or for any other purpose. You
acknowledge that we are acting as a passive channel for the distribution of the
Promotions and we are not undertaking any obligation or liability relating to
any Promotions created from Content. Although we reserve the right to remove,
without notice, any Content for any reason, we have no obligation to review the
Content prior to the Promotion’s distribution or to delete any Content (or any
part of it) that may be found objectionable, offensive or incompliant with
these Terms. We are not responsible for maintaining a copy of any material we
remove, and we are not liable for any loss you incur in the event that Content is
been removed.

the Promotions sent through the Services, and does not verify, validate,
endorse offers, or guarantee that an offer sent by Advertiser will be honored. Advertiser shall be solely
responsible to update us if a Promotion should expire or otherwise expected not
to be honored. Advertiser shall hold 121Mobile harmless against any claims with respect to
the validity of a Promotion.

END-USER
CONSENT AND PRIVACY
121Mobile Services allow Advertiser to provide End-Users with
Promotions through text messages. In order to receive a Promotion, an End-User
may opt to subscribe to the regular or periodic text messages sent through the Services,
by sending a text message in the form of that merchant's opt-in code or keyword
from the End-User's mobile phone or mobile device to us and assenting in
writing or by replying yes via text which shall express its expressed consent. Promotions
shall be sent only to mobile numbers from End-Users that have opted into the
text Promotions, from a designated number that the text messages are provided
from. End-Users' mobile numbers cannot be used for any other use then receiving
Promotions from such number. As part of our Services, Promotions shall not be
delivered to End-Users that didn't provide their express consent.
Furthermore, Promotions must comply with
the rules and regulations published by the MMA and other accepted industry
guidelines for opting into a text marketing program and must be in compliance
with all applicable laws and regulations including the Telephone Consumer Protection
Act and others. Therefore, Promotions shall not be sent to mobile number of
End-Users that wish to stop receiving any Promotions from a designated
Advertiser or opt out to such Promotions. End-User may remove their number
through the Service at any time by reply STOP to the Promotion text. Advertiser
acknowledges and agrees that, should an End-User directly contact it to request
they be removed from Contact List, that Advertiser shall instruct them to text
the reply STOP and remove their number through the Service, and that they will
receive no further Promotions. End-User acknowledges and agrees that if it opts
out from Promotion of a designated Advertiser, such End-User can still receive Promotions
of other Advertisers through the Services. End-User may opt out from any
additional Advertiser's Promotions at any time by reply STOP to such Promotion
text.
Advertiser agrees to abide by all the applicable
local, state and national laws and regulations regarding text marketing and is
solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur through your use of the
Service, including without limitation the content of messages transmitted
through the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, Advertiser promises to

of 1991, 47 U.S.C § 227, and its Regulations, 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200, (TCPA) that Advertiser,

a Promotion.

information is collected and how it will be used; (ii) the identity of the
party collecting the personally identifiable information; (iii) whether the
personally identifiable information is shared with third parties; (iv) the use
of any tracking technology; and (v) what security measures are in place to protect
the personally identifiable information. 121Mobile shall collect
data only in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
In
light of the foregoing, you explicitly agree that 121Mobile shall not be
responsible if a Promotion sent to an End-User shall (1) create or transmit
bulk content or Promotions which would be characterized as “Spam” or “Junk
Mail” or other forms of unwanted

email," or other advertising
material or communications to persons or entities that have not specifically
agreed (i.e. via an accepted ‘opt-in’ method) to receive messages; (3) include the collection or storage of
personal data about End-Users in connection with the prohibited conduct and
activities set forth hereinabove or by law; (4) introduce malicious programs

wireless device, computer system or network, (ii) traps, time bombs, or other
code that would disable any software based on the elapsing of a period of time,
advancement to a particular date or other numeral, (iii) code that would permit
any third-party to interfere with or surreptitiously access End-User personal information,
and (iv) content to cause disablement or impairment.

party to any such conflicts.
