Using eocean.pk
This site may only be used by genuine Internet users using a
standard unmodified web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape,
Mozilla, Opera). No automated process may be employed to send
messages, or assist the sending of messages, through
eocean.pk.
Users must at all times be able to see eocean.pk branding,
colors,
interfaces, and banners. Using any software or scripting
that prevents this is strictly forbidden, and is classed as
"automated sending". Users must manually enter all details
requested. Records are stored of every message and its
origination, and if automated sending is discovered, the
responsible parties will be invoiced for the sending of every
single message at a price of 1.50 USD per message with
additional administration costs. Failure to pay these charges
will result in legal action. This service must only be used by
users connected to the Internet From Anywhere in the World. You agree to abide by the spirit
of free service, as reasonably and practically interpreted.
Sending and Delivery of SMS Messages
eocean.pk will, when indicated as functional by System Status,
send each SMS message to one of our SMS gateways for delivery to
the relevant network, providing no error is displayed to suggest
that this will not be done. eocean.pk guarantees that under these
circumstances all messages are SENT. However, delivery is the
responsibility of third party networks and services, including
the receiving device itself, and cannot be guaranteed. When on
the Confirmation page a message is flagged with Network
Delivered (GREEN), eocean.pk
has received information to suggest that the specified
network/device has received the SMS message. If you find this
information to be incorrect, then providing us with full details
of the message and confirmation code will allow us to
investigate the problem with individual networks. Delivery
confirmations may only be available at certain times.
Message Content
Use of the eOcean Service to send abusive messages can be traced
to the originator upon request from the Police and they will be
liable for prosecution under the 1988 Malicious Communications
Act. eocean.pk is not responsible for content of messages sent by
users of the service. eocean.pk will co-operate with official
inquiries into misuse of the service. You agree not to send
abusive or defamatory messages through this service.
Spam/unsolicited messages and bulk advertising through this
service is not permitted. Messages containing sexual content are
not permitted. Each message must be unique in content and
purposeful, and may contain up to the permitted amount of
characters. Users sending messages that do not comply with these
terms will be invoiced at a rate of $2.5 for each offending
message, plus administration costs and all legal and other fees
incurred by eocean.pk as a result, payable immediately.
