01 Section one
Scope of this Agreement.
This Agreement governs your initial subscription as well as any future purchases, renewals, or upgrades that
reference this Agreement. This Agreement incorporates by reference our Privacy Policy and any other referenced
policies, schedules, or attachments. In the event of any conflict between these documents, the terms of this
Agreement shall prevail unless expressly stated otherwise.
02 Section two
The Service.
MessageBox is a hosted, cloud-based SaaS platform (the "Hosted Service") that
provides task management software for hotels, hospitality businesses, and facility management companies.
The Service includes the web application, mobile applications, any related documentation, application
programming interfaces (APIs), integrations, updates, and any support or maintenance services provided by us.
We reserve the right to modify, update, or enhance the Service at any time without prior notice, provided
that such changes do not materially diminish the core functionality of the Service during your active
Subscription Term.
03 Section three
Account registration & management.
To access the Service, you must register for an account by providing accurate, current, and complete information.
Registration and use of the Service are permitted only for business purposes. You must ensure that the information
you provide identifies the relevant hotel, business, or other commercial organisation on whose behalf the account
is being created. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of your registration information and for updating
it promptly. The individual who registers the account shall be designated as the Account Owner and
shall have the authority to manage the account, including appointing administrators, managing users, and cancelling
the account. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us
immediately of any unauthorised use of your account or any security breach.
04 Section four
Authorised Users.
Only individuals for whom you have paid the applicable subscription fees and whom you have designated through the
Platform ("Authorised Users") may access and use the Service. Authorised Users may include
your employees, representatives, consultants, contractors, or agents acting on your behalf. You are responsible for
ensuring that all Authorised Users comply with this Agreement. You may increase the number of Authorised Users by
upgrading your subscription plan or placing a new order, subject to payment of the applicable fees.
05 Section five
Subscription plans, pricing & currency.
5.1 Subscription Plans
The Service is offered on a subscription basis with Monthly, Quarterly or Annual billing options. The features
and limitations of each plan are described on our website and may be updated from time to time.
5.2 Multi-Currency Pricing
Subscription fees maybe displayed or provided, and made payable in multiple currencies. The pricing displayed
or provided at the time of your subscription purchase or renewal shall be the price applicable to that transaction.
5.3 Right to Modify Pricing
We reserve the right to change our pricing, pricing models, and the currencies in which we offer our Service at
any time and at short notice. Any pricing changes shall take effect at the start of your next billing cycle
(monthly, quarterly or annual, as applicable) following the date of the change. We will make reasonable efforts to notify
you of pricing changes, but it is your responsibility to review the current pricing on our website. Continued
use of the Service after a pricing change constitutes your acceptance of the new pricing.
06 Section six
Payment terms.
6.1 Prepaid Subscriptions
All subscription fees are prepaid. You must pay the full subscription fee at the time of purchase or renewal.
Payments are due in advance for the selected billing period (monthly, quarterly or annually). If you upgrade your plan
during an active subscription period, a pro-rated charge for the remainder of the current billing period will
be processed immediately.
6.2 No Refunds
All payments are final, non-refundable, non-cancellable, and non-creditable. If you cancel your
subscription before the end of your current billing period, your access to the Service will continue until the
end of that period, but no refund or credit will be issued for the unused portion. Downgrading your plan may
result in the loss of features, data capacity, or Authorised User slots, and we accept no liability for such loss.
6.3 Payment Processing via Stripe
You may choose to make your monthly, quarterly or annual subscription payments through Stripe, Inc.
("Stripe"), a third-party payment processor.
By subscribing to the Service, you agree to Stripe's terms of service and privacy policy. We are not responsible for
any errors, failures, delays, or issues arising from Stripe's payment processing services, including but not limited
to failed transactions, currency conversion discrepancies, payment processing fees imposed by Stripe, unauthorised
charges resulting from your failure to secure your payment credentials, or any data breaches or security incidents
occurring within Stripe's systems. Any disputes regarding payment processing must be raised directly with Stripe.
We shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the use of Stripe's services.
6.4 Automatic Renewal
Unless you cancel your subscription before the end of your current billing period, your subscription will
automatically renew for a successive period of the same duration (monthly, quarterly or annually) at the then-current pricing.
You authorise us to charge the payment method on file for the renewal fee.
07 Section seven
Taxes & duties.
All fees quoted and payable under this Agreement are exclusive of any applicable taxes, levies, duties, or
governmental charges, including but not limited to value added tax (VAT), goods and services tax (GST),
sales tax, withholding tax, or any other taxes imposed by any jurisdiction (collectively,
"Taxes"). You are solely responsible for the payment of all applicable Taxes arising
from your use of the Service or your subscription, except for taxes based on our net income.
We may be required to collect and remit Taxes in certain jurisdictions now or in the future. If we are required
to collect Taxes, such amounts will be added to your invoice and charged to your payment method in addition to
the subscription fees. If you are exempt from certain Taxes, you must provide us with valid exemption documentation
prior to the transaction. We reserve the right to update our tax collection practices at any time as required by
applicable law.
You acknowledge that tax obligations may arise in multiple jurisdictions, including but not limited to the
European Union member states and other countries where the Service is accessed or used, and that you are
responsible for determining and fulfilling your own tax obligations in relation to your use of the Service.
08 Section eight
Data protection & GDPR compliance.
8.1 EU Representative
In accordance with Article 27 of the GDPR, as Getmymessage FZ-LLC is not established in the European Union but
offers services to data subjects within the EEA, we have appointed Prighter Group with its local
partners as our privacy representative and your point of contact for the European Union. If you wish to exercise
your privacy-related rights (such as requests to access or erase personal data) or contact us via our representative,
please visit: https://prighter.com/q/13726109. Our EU representative
is authorised to act on our behalf with respect to communications from data subjects and supervisory authorities
regarding the processing of personal data under the GDPR.
8.2 Roles and Responsibilities
For the purposes of data protection law, you are the Data Controller in respect of any personal
data you upload, submit, or process through the Service (including guest data, employee data, and any other
personal data). We act as the Data Processor on your behalf, processing personal data only in
accordance with your documented instructions and this Agreement. Our respective obligations are further detailed
in our Data Processing Agreement, which forms part of this Agreement.
8.3 Data Processing Principles
We shall process personal data only for the purposes of providing, maintaining, and improving the Service, and
in accordance with applicable data protection laws. We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures
to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk of processing, including encryption of data in transit and
at rest, access controls, regular security assessments, and incident response procedures. We shall not process
personal data for any purpose other than providing the Service unless required by applicable law.
8.4 Data Subject Rights
Where you are subject to the GDPR or equivalent legislation, you are responsible for responding to data subject
requests (including requests for access, rectification, erasure, restriction, portability, and objection) from
individuals whose personal data you process through the Service. We will provide reasonable assistance to enable
you to fulfil such requests, to the extent technically feasible, within the timeframes required by applicable law.
8.5 Data Breach Notification
In the event of a personal data breach affecting data processed through the Service, we will notify you without
undue delay after becoming aware of the breach, providing sufficient information to enable you to meet your
obligations under applicable data protection laws, including notification to the relevant supervisory authority
and affected data subjects where required.
8.6 Data Retention and Deletion
We will retain your data for the duration of your active subscription and for a reasonable period thereafter to
fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. Upon termination of your subscription, we will delete your data
within a reasonable timeframe, subject to any legal retention requirements. You may request deletion of your data
at any time during or after your subscription by contacting us.
8.7 Sub-processors
We may engage sub-processors to assist in providing the Service. A list of our current sub-processors is available
upon request. We will notify you of any intended changes to our sub-processors and give you the opportunity to
object. We ensure that all sub-processors are bound by data protection obligations no less protective than those
set out in this Agreement.
09 Section nine
Your data.
9.1 Ownership
You retain all rights, title, and interest in and to any data, content, images, or other materials that you
upload, submit, or transmit through the Service ("Your Data"). We do not claim
ownership of Your Data.
9.2 License to Use Your Data
You grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to collect, use, copy, store, transmit, modify,
and create derivative works of Your Data, solely to the extent necessary to provide, maintain, and improve the Service.
9.3 Your Responsibilities
You are responsible for ensuring that Your Data and your use of the Service comply with all applicable laws,
regulations, and third-party rights. You represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents,
rights, and permissions to upload and process Your Data through the Service, including any required consents
from data subjects under applicable data protection laws.
9.4 Sensitive Data
You shall not submit to the Service any special categories of personal data as defined under Article 9 of the
GDPR (such as data revealing racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious beliefs, health data, or
biometric data) unless explicitly agreed in writing. You shall also not submit any data regulated under
sector-specific laws such as HIPAA, PCI-DSS, or equivalent legislation unless we have provided explicit written consent.
10 Section ten
Security.
We implement commercially reasonable technical and organisational security measures to protect Your Data,
including encryption, access controls, and regular security audits. However, no method of electronic storage
or transmission is completely secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security. You acknowledge that the use
of the Service necessarily involves the transmission of data over networks not owned, operated, or controlled
by us, and we are not responsible for any data lost, altered, or intercepted during such transmission.
11 Section eleven
Service availability & support.
We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available with an annual uptime of at least
99.80%, excluding scheduled maintenance windows. The Service is hosted on Amazon Web Services
(AWS), and its availability is subject to the terms and conditions of AWS. We will provide reasonable notice
of scheduled maintenance where practicable. We are not liable for any downtime or performance issues caused by
factors outside our reasonable control, including internet connectivity issues, third-party service outages,
or force majeure events.
12 Section twelve
Intellectual property.
The Service, including all software, designs, documentation, trade names, logos, and other intellectual property
associated with it, is and shall remain the exclusive property of Getmymessage FZ-LLC and its licensors. Nothing
in this Agreement transfers or assigns any intellectual property rights to you. Your subscription grants you a
limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Service during the Subscription
Term, strictly in accordance with this Agreement.
13 Section thirteen
Restrictions.
You shall not, and shall not permit any third party to:
- copy, modify, adapt, translate, or create derivative works of the Service;
- reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or attempt to derive the source code of any part of the Service;
- rent, lease, sell, sublicence, distribute, or transfer access to the Service;
- use the Service for the benefit of any third party or for competitive analysis;
- interfere with or circumvent any security, licensing, or access control mechanisms;
- remove or obscure any proprietary notices; or
- use the Service in any manner that violates applicable law or this Agreement.
14 Section fourteen
Confidentiality.
Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business,
technical and financial information disclosed to such party ("Receiving Party") by the
disclosing party ("Disclosing Party") constitute the confidential property of the
Disclosing Party ("Confidential Information"), provided that it is identified as
confidential at the time of disclosure. Any Getmymessage Technology and any performance information relating to
the Products shall be deemed Confidential Information of Getmymessage without any marking or further designation.
Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any
Confidential Information. The Receiving Party's nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which
the Receiving Party can document:
- was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information;
- is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party;
- is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; or
- is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information.
The Receiving Party may also disclose Confidential Information if so required pursuant to a regulation, law or
court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance
notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information
would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon
any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief
in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law. For the avoidance of doubt, this Section shall not
operate as a separate warranty with respect to the operation of any Product.
15 Section fifteen
Term & termination.
This Agreement remains in effect for the duration of your active subscription (the "Term"),
unless terminated earlier in accordance with this section. You may cancel your subscription at any time through
the Platform or by contacting us. Cancellation will take effect at the end of your current billing period.
No refund or credit will be issued for the remaining period. We may suspend or terminate your access to the
Service immediately and without notice if:
- you materially breach any term of this Agreement and fail to remedy such breach within fourteen (14) days of written notice;
- you fail to pay any fees when due;
- you become insolvent or enter bankruptcy proceedings; or
- your use of the Service poses a security risk or may cause harm to other users or to our infrastructure.
Upon termination, your right to access and use the Service ceases immediately. We may delete Your Data in
accordance with Section 8.6 of this Agreement. Sections relating to payment obligations, intellectual property,
confidentiality, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, feedback, term and termination,
warranty disclaimer, export sanctions, general provisions and any other provisions that by their nature should
survive, shall survive termination.
16 Section sixteen
Feedback.
From time to time, you may choose to submit comments, information, questions, data, ideas, description of
processes, or other information to us, including sharing Your Modifications or in the course of receiving
Support and Maintenance ("Feedback"). We may in connection with any of our products
or services freely use, copy, disclose, license, distribute and exploit any Feedback in any manner without any
obligation, royalty or restriction based on intellectual property rights or otherwise. No Feedback will be
considered your Confidential Information, and nothing in this Agreement limits our right to independently use,
develop, evaluate, or market products, whether incorporating Feedback or otherwise.
17 Section seventeen
Warranty disclaimer.
All products are provided "as is," and we and our suppliers expressly disclaim any and all
warranties and representations of any kind, including any warranty of non-infringement, title, fitness for a
particular purpose, functionality, or merchantability, whether express, implied, or statutory. You may have
other statutory rights, but the duration of statutorily required warranties, if any, shall be limited to the
shortest period permitted by law. We shall not be liable for delays, interruptions, service failures and other
problems inherent in use of the internet and electronic communications or other systems outside our reasonable
control. To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither nor any of our third party suppliers makes any
representation, warranty or guarantee as to the reliability, timeliness, quality, suitability, truth, availability,

Limitation of liability.
Neither party (nor its suppliers) shall be liable for any loss of use, lost or inaccurate data, failure of
security mechanisms, interruption of business, costs of delay or any indirect, special, incidental, reliance or
consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits), regardless of the form of action, whether in contract,
tort (including negligence), strict liability or otherwise, even if informed of the possibility of such damages
in advance. Neither party's aggregate liability to the other shall exceed the amount actually paid by you to us
for products and support and maintenance in the 12 months immediately preceding the claim. Notwithstanding
anything else in this agreement, our aggregate liability to you in respect of no-charge products shall be
US$20. This Section 16 (Limitation of Liability) shall not apply to (1) amounts owed by you
under any orders, (2) either party's express indemnification obligations in this agreement, or (3) your breach
of Section 11 (Restrictions). To the maximum extent permitted by law, no suppliers of any third party components
included in the products will be liable to you for any damages whatsoever.
You shall indemnify and hold us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees, harmless from
all claims, actions, proceedings, demands, damages, losses, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys'
fees), incurred in connection with any materials submitted, posted, transmitted or made available by you through
our products and/or any violation by you of these terms of service, the rights of any third party, or any
applicable law or regulation. The parties agree that the limitations specified in this Section 18 (Limitation of
Liability) will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this agreement is found to have failed
of its essential purpose.
19 Section nineteen
Indemnification.
You shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Getmymessage FZ-LLC and its officers, directors, employees,
consultants and agents from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses
