2.1 GatewayAPI is an online service that allows the Customer to use communication services via different channels (like SMS, email, etc.)(the “Services”). Sending can be done through the API services provided by GatewayAPI, which is described in more detail in GatewayAPI’s documentation where the Customer can also read more about the Services and ONLINECITY.IO’s other services; (www.gatewayapi.com/docs). For the use of Rich Communication Services (“RCS”) please find the specific terms here. “Communication” means all formats of communication (SMS, email, RCS, RBS, etc.).

2.2 ONLINECITY.IO’s Services are transmitted through existing telecommunications networks under agreement with a telecommunications operator. ONLINECITY.IO is not responsible for any faults, defects and crashes of the telecommunications operator’s telecommunication systems.

3.1 GatewayAPI is offered with the basic functionality that the system provides when the Customer first accesses GatewayAPI. 

3.2 ONLINECITY.IO is entitled, at its sole discretion, to continually change the functionality (software) of GatewayAPI. 

3.2.1 ONLINECITY.IO may determine that new standard functionality is part of Customer’s current access. 

3.2.2 Changes to the functionality may be made without prior notice.

4.1 In order to use the Services, the Customer must create a GatewayAPI account, and enter as a minimum their full name, company name, e-mail address, address, postal code and city as well as country. Registration is free and entitles the Customer to a 30 days free trial. When creating the first trial account (limited to one per Customer), ONLINECITY.IO inserts GatewayAPI credit so that trial messages can be sent. The credit cannot be paid out, cf. section. 4.5.

4.2 When the Customer creates an account, the Customer is subsequently sent a verification code which will be used for the further sign up process.

4.3 The Customer is responsible for ensuring that all account information is accurate at all times. The Customer is required to keep GatewayAPI usernames and passwords confidential. The Customer is liable for any misuse of that Customer’s account, including but not limited to misuse of usernames and passwords, regardless of whether the abuse is made by the Customer or third parties, unless the abuse is caused by circumstances that can only be attributed to ONLINECITY.IO.

4.4 In order to make use of the Services, the Customer must complete a purchase of GatewayAPI credit or have received GatewayAPI credit, cf. section 4.1. If the Customer has not completed a purchase (purchased GatewayAPI credit) before the 30 day trial expires, ONLINECITY.IO deactivates the account. It can take up to five days from the purchase of GatewayAPI credit to the Customer’s account balance to reflect that. Once the purchase of GatewayAPI credit has been credited to the account balance, the Customer gains access to the digital content and the purchase has been completed. When using the Services, the account’s GatewayAPI credit balance is written down continuously. It may take up to 48 hours for the write-downs to be visible on the GatewayAPI account balance.

4.5 5 GatewayAPI credit is not transferable to another person or account, has no monetary value, accrues no interest, and unless required by law or permitted by these Terms (see option 15.4), cannot be redeemed or refunded for any kind of money or monetary value from ONLINECITY.IO at any time.

4.6 ONLINECITY.IO may at any time suspend, close or block the Customer’s account, including if these Terms are not respected. Barring is done without notice and ONLINECITY.IO may charge up to DKK 1.500/200 Euro ex. VAT to reopen an account.

4.7 The Customer may at any time (i) request ONLINECITY.IO to block the Customer’s account by writing an email to support; support@GatewayAPI.com, or (ii) delete the account himself through the Customer’s account overview.

5.1 The Customer only pays for the traffic used by the Customer, as well as any optional features (see section 5.5) or a fee for choosing a post-payment (see section 15.4). ONLINECITY.IO’s current price list can always be accessed at www.gatewayapi.com. The Customer can view their current price list by logging into the Customer’s account. ONLINECITY.IO may change the price list from day to day as prices are based on third party prices. All prices are in DKK and/or EUR and quoted ex. VAT. The prices may be subject to errors. See also section 4.6, 5.7 in relation to payment of fees when reopening a blocked account and writing down an inactive account, as well as section 15.4 in relation to the minimum limit and processing fee for reimbursement of prepaid amounts. The customer must pay all banking fees in relation to making payments to ONLINECITY.IO.

5.2 Prepayment; GatewayAPI can only be used when the Customer has GatewayAPI credit in the Customer’s account. Payment for GatewayAPI credit can be made using the following debit cards: MasterCard and VISA. If the Customer activates automatic payment, GatewayAPI credit is automatically purchased for the amount the Customer has specified when GatewayAPI credit falls below the specified limit. The Customer can disable automatic payment via their user account at any time. A maximum of one automatic payment can be made per hour. It is the Customer’s responsibility to ensure that there is sufficient GatewayAPI credit in the Customer’s account to enable the Customer’s traffic to run as desired.

5.3 Post-payment; If the Customer wishes to pay per month after consumption, i.e. without prepayment, the Customer may contact ONLINECITY.IO via support@gatewayapi.com and request to be approved for credit. If applicable, ONLINECITY.IO’s fees etc. will be settled monthly in arrears and due for payment 8 days after the invoice date. Due unpaid payments are subject to interest at 2% per commenced month until payment is made. ONLINECITY.IO sets a credit limit and may require security in the form of a cash deposit. If the Customer does not pay the invoices or required deposit, ONLINECITY.IO can block or close the Customer’s account(s). 

5.4 Invoices will be issued using the information entered by the Customer into GatewayAPI and the Customer will be invoiced for the purchased GatewayAPI credit. Any disputes to invoices must be communicated to ONLINECITY.IO no later than 30 days after the invoice is due, in order to be a valid dispute.

5.5 The Customer may choose to extend the basic functionality of GatewayAPI by purchasing optional features. These additional services may be billed in different ways, such as through prepayment or post-payment, and can be charged based on subscription (e.g. monthly, quarterly or annually) or consumptions (e.g. usage-based fees). Prices for optional services are subject to change with 48 hours notice.

5.6 If the Customer is located in Denmark, VAT is attributed to the invoice. For other EU countries, there is a reverse payment obligation and the Customer must themselves report VAT in accordance with Article 196 of Council Directive 2006/112 / EC. If the Customer is located and uses the GatewayAPI outside the EU, the VAT rules in the Customer’s home country apply, and the Customer is responsible for its compliance.

In our efforts to minimize bad traffic and fraudulent behavior, we record the number and time stamps every time a delivery report (DLR) is received with the status UNDELIVERED.
