1. Acceptable Use Policy

By using Taratxt, you agree not to use the platform for transmitting illegal, highly restricted, defamatory, or abusive content over the provided messaging corridors.

We reserve the right to suspend API or Webhook access to any account found violating rate limits, intentionally exploiting vulnerabilities, or engaging in abusive automated behavior.

2. Philippine Law Compliance - SIM Registration Act (RA 11934)

Taratxt operates as a personal SMS gateway platform. It is designed to allow developers to trigger SMS messages through their own individually registered SIM cards via an Arduino-based gateway device.

Under the SIM Registration Act (Republic Act No. 11934), all SIM cards in the Philippines must be registered to a named individual. By connecting a SIM-based device to Taratxt, you represent and warrant that:

The SIM card used in your gateway device is registered in your own name with the relevant Philippine telecommunications provider (Globe, Smart, DITO, or equivalent).
You will not use Taratxt to send bulk, mass, or unsolicited SMS messages to recipients who have not explicitly opted in to receive communications from you.
You will not use Taratxt to impersonate, spoof, or misrepresent the identity of the sender.
You understand that using a consumer-grade SIM to send messages at scale (bulk SMS) without telco authorization constitutes a violation of RA 11934 and may be treated as telco fraud under Philippine regulations.

Taratxt is intended for low-volume, system-triggered notifications only - such as OTPs, device alerts, and IoT event notifications for systems you own or develop. It is not a licensed bulk SMS aggregator.

3. Anti-Spam & Cybercrime Compliance

You agree not to use Taratxt in any manner that violates the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012 (RA 10175), including but not limited to unauthorized interception of communications, identity theft, phishing, or unsolicited electronic communications (spam).

Any account found sending spam, fraudulent messages, or participating in SMS phishing campaigns (smishing) will be immediately terminated and reported to the appropriate authorities.

4. Service Level Agreement

Our service levels and uptime guarantees apply solely to Production tier users as outlined in our comprehensive SLA.

Free and Developer tier accounts are provided "as-is" without guaranteed response times or 99.9% uptime commitments.

5. Device Connections and AI Usage

Users are fully responsible for any device connected to the MQTT broker through their Taratxt account. You agree to secure your credentials and tokens.

You agree to not abuse the native Taratxt Model Context Protocol (MCP) server tools or reverse-engineer its capabilities maliciously. Providing unrestricted MCP credentials to unsandboxed environments is strictly at your own risk.

6. Account Termination

You may cancel your account at any time. Taratxt reserves the right to terminate accounts that:

Remain inactive over a period of 12 months on the free plan.
Are found to be sending unsolicited or bulk SMS in violation of RA 11934 or this Terms of Service.
Engage in any fraudulent or abusive use of the platform or its APIs.
