"we", "us" or "our" means Spark Mobile Limited and any of Spark Mobile Limited's related companies

"you" or "your" means you, a registered user of eTXT who has successfully completed the registration process, or (as the context requires) a person designated by a registered user of eTXT in accordance with paragraph 8.1 of these terms

2. Terms

2.1 Unless otherwise stated in these terms, each existing agreement we have with you for the provision of telecommunications services ("Standard Terms") applies to your use of eTXT in addition to the terms set out below. Where there is a conflict between these terms and the Standard Terms in relation to your use of eTXT, these terms take priority.

2.2 We may change these terms. We can:

  2. if more than 500 eTXT messages are sent in any 24 hour period ("business cap") by users of your account with us, we may immediately suspend or terminate your right to use eTXT or may reduce your business cap to not less than 100 messages (and the reduced cap will become the business cap).

3.2 If you are not a business user, you may use eTXT to send up to 30 messages in any 24 hour period, to any person. Messages sent in excess of this limit may not be delivered (but may be charged for).

4. Your responsibilities

  3. not, and not allow others to, perform any activity such as cracking or hacking (to circumvent the authentication or security of any host, network, web server or account) or denial of service attacks, or introduce anything (including any virus), that may harm our, or any third party, equipment or software;
