E.1 Service Scope
SanyaSMS sends SMS to Tanzanian (and selected international) mobile numbers via licensed aggregator routes. Features: branded sender ID, contact lists & groups, scheduled campaigns, pledge drives, delivery reports, and a transactional/OTP API. Sold on prepaid SMS credits — you top up, each delivered message decrements your balance.
E.2 Credits, Pricing & Expiry
- SMS credits are prepaid and priced per unit (from TZS 22 / SMS, volume tiers lower it). A single SMS = 160 GSM-7 characters; longer messages split into multiple billable parts.
- Credits are non-refundable once purchased (Master §5.1) but do not expire while your account is active.
- Delivery is best-effort and depends on the destination network. A message accepted by the downstream carrier is billed even if the handset is off / unreachable — this is standard across all SMS aggregators and outside our control.
E.3 Sender IDs
A branded alphanumeric sender ID (e.g. YOURBIZ) must be registered with TCRA before use — usually approved in 2–3 working days. While pending, messages go out under a fallback ID. Sender IDs must not impersonate another entity, a bank, or a government body. We may reject or revoke a sender ID that violates TCRA rules or appears fraudulent.
E.4 Recipient Consent & Content Rules
- No phishing, scams, "you have won" lottery messages, or misleading sender names (AUP §2).
- No content illegal under Tanzanian law (EPOCA, TCRA content rules).
- Marketing messages should honour opt-out requests — include a way to unsubscribe where required.
- OTP / transactional traffic must be genuinely transactional, not marketing in disguise.
E.5 Suspension
We may suspend SMS sending immediately (no grace period) for: spam complaints, sending to non-consenting recipients, fraudulent sender IDs, content violating the AUP or Tanzanian law, or a TCRA / carrier directive. Remaining credit balance is preserved during suspension and usable again on reinstatement, unless the suspension is for fraud or illegal content (in which case credits may be forfeited).
E.6 API Use
The transactional / OTP API is rate-limited per account. Keep your API token secret — all sending under your token is billed to you and attributed to you, authorised or not (Master §3). Rotate the token from your dashboard if you suspect exposure.
E.7 Regulatory Compliance
SanyaSMS operates under Tanzania's TCRA framework and the Electronic and Postal Communications Act (EPOCA). You agree to use the service in compliance with TCRA bulk-messaging rules, the National Payment Systems consumer-protection rules where applicable, and the Privacy Policy / DPA for recipient personal data.
