2. Description of Services

Soqqet is a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) platform for transactional notifications. The Services enable Customers to:

• Configure notification workflows triggered by events (orders, appointments, account changes)
• Deliver notifications across messaging channels: WhatsApp Business API, Telegram, SMS, Email, and self-hosted WhatsApp connectors
• Track delivery status, recipient responses, and consent events
• Manage contact lists, blocklists, and per-tenant data segregation
• Integrate notifications with third-party systems via API and webhooks

The Services are designed for transactional and operational use cases. Marketing campaigns, bulk promotional outreach, and unsolicited messaging are explicitly prohibited (see Section 4).

3. Account Registration

Content restrictions:

• Send marketing, promotional, or advertising content

5. Customer Obligations

5.1 Data Controller Status

You are the Data Controller for personal data processed through Soqqet. You are responsible for:

• Establishing valid legal basis for processing recipient data (Article 6 GDPR)
• Obtaining and documenting valid opt-in consent for transactional notifications
• Maintaining records of consent (timestamp, source, IP if applicable)
• Honoring opt-out requests across all your communications
• Handling data subject requests from recipients
• Notifying recipients of relevant privacy practices

5.2 Content Moderation

You are responsible for the legality, accuracy, and appropriateness of all content sent through Soqqet. We may, but are not obligated to, review templates and content for compliance with our AUP.

5.3 Channel Compliance

You acknowledge that:

• WhatsApp Business API requires Meta-approved templates for outbound messages
• Telegram Bot API has its own usage policies
• SMS in different jurisdictions has different consent and content requirements

6. Pricing & Payments

6.1 Subscription Plans

Soqqet offers fixed-price subscription plans based on monthly workflow run volume. Current plans:

• Starter: €39/month, 1,000 workflow runs
• Professional: €99/month, 5,000 workflow runs
• Business: €299/month, 20,000 workflow runs

6.2 Workflow Run Definition

A workflow run is a single execution of a notification flow, from trigger to final delivery state. The same workflow attempting multiple channels (cascade routing) counts as one run regardless of channel attempts.

6.3 Channel Pass-through Costs

Some channels incur direct costs from upstream providers:

• WhatsApp Business API: passed through at provider cost (no markup)
• SMS via Twilio or other carriers: passed through at provider cost
• Telegram Bot API: free

Pass-through charges appear as separate line items on monthly invoices.

6.4 Overage

If you exceed your plan's workflow run limit, workflows continue to execute uninterrupted. Overage is billed at the per-run rate of your current plan. We notify you when you reach 80% and 100% of your plan limit.

6.5 Payment Processing

Payments are processed by our authorized Merchant of Record (MoR) partner. Soqqet does not directly handle credit card information. See Section 14 for details.

6.6 Refunds

Subscriptions are non-refundable except where required by law. Pro-rated refunds may be issued for unused portions of annual plans upon early cancellation, at our discretion.

6.7 Pricing Changes

We may change pricing with 30 days' written notice. Existing customers on annual plans retain their pricing until renewal.

7. Account Termination

Either party may terminate the agreement at any time. You may cancel your account from the dashboard or by contacting support. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. Upon termination, your data will be deleted within 90 days.

8. Disclaimers and Warranties

We strive to maintain high uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted service. Messaging delivery depends on third-party channels (WhatsApp, Telegram, SMS carriers) which are outside our control. We are not liable for delivery failures caused by third-party services.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Soqqet shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of our Services, including lost profits, data loss, or business interruption.

10. Indemnification

Soqqet and its logo, design, and content are protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, or distribute our platform or branding without written permission. Content you create and send through our platform remains yours.

11. Modifications

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of our Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. We will notify users of material changes via email or platform notice.

12. Miscellaneous

Questions about these Terms? Contact us at [email protected].

13. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by the laws applicable to the Operator's place of residence at the time of dispute. Customers may also rely on mandatory consumer protection laws of their own jurisdiction where applicable.

14. Merchant of Record

Payments for Soqqet subscriptions are processed by our authorized Merchant of Record (MoR) partner. The MoR is the seller of record on your invoice, handles VAT/sales tax remittance globally, and manages payment disputes. Your invoice will show the MoR as the merchant. This does not affect your service relationship with Soqqet, governed by these Terms. The current MoR partner is disclosed at checkout and on invoices once onboarding is complete.
