2. Description of Services

Textual provides a Text Message Marketing and Payment Platform as a service, described in this Agreement.  The Textual Platform enables Clients to send Text Messages to Subscribers who have opted into a Marketing Program.  

The Textual platform also maintains a payment profile for all the Client’s Subscribers, and collectively as a whole these Subscriber Accounts are maintained for the Textual Platform.  

Client’s Subscribers are never shared with any other Client across the platform.  Textual maintains these Subscriber Accounts on behalf of the Clients, whereas the Payment Profiles for the Subscribers are maintained for the benefit of all Clients, and for the Textual / Subscriber relationship.  

The Textual platform allows Clients to send Text Message Marketing Campaigns that contain Product offers which can be purchased immediately through Text Message by the Subscribers when they reply Yes.

The Textual Platform has certain controls to help Clients be in compliance with Text Message Marketing guidelines; however the Clients are responsible for being compliant, i.e. Clients can not abuse the platform.

Textual creates the charges to Subscriber’s credit cards using the Stripe Connect platform.  These charges are created on behalf of the Clients and their own Stripe Account.  

Any claims, refunds and disputes are not managed by Textual but rather these matters are between the Textual Client (any merchant, ecommerce store or retailer) and their Customer.

  • Platform Access 
      • Monthly Access Fee based on number of Subscribers
