Technical Scope of Service

SendME services are provided only through sendme123.com and all its authorized subdomains.

Service Model

Cloud (SaaS) self-managed service. Support is provided exclusively through remote channels (email and help desk). No on-site service or implementations are offered.

Roles in Personal Data

ALTERNA S.A.S. acts as Processor and the Client as Controller, in accordance with Law 1581 of 2012 and complementary regulations.

4. Purpose and Service Description

SendME provides a SaaS platform for managing and orchestrating communications, campaigns, and transactional or commercial notifications, including segmentation tools, templates, reports, and APIs. SendME offers, as software as a service (SaaS), tools for mass and automated sending of SMS, email, and WhatsApp Business via APIs and web applications.

  • Self-Management
  • The Client configures, uploads content, defines audiences, templates, and automation rules. ALTERNA S.A.S. does not execute campaigns on behalf of the Client nor contacts Recipients directly.

  • Delivery 'as-is'
  • The service is provided 'as is', without guarantee of permanent availability or 100% delivery. Delivery times and success depend on third parties (mobile operators, ISPs/ESPs, mail servers, and WhatsApp network/policies).

  • Compliance Tools
  • The Platform provides segmentation, scheduling, templates, and opt-out mechanisms. Regulatory compliance (including the destination country law) depends on the Client’s configuration, content, and databases.

5. Account Registration and Security

The Client is responsible for the accuracy of registration information, the security of their credentials, and account use. Any unauthorized use must be reported immediately. SendME may suspend accounts in case of reasonable risk of fraud, legal noncompliance, or violation of these T&C.

6. Plans, Pricing, Billing, and Taxes

Charges will be calculated based on the contracted plan and actual usage. Prices exclude taxes; the Client is responsible for applicable taxes. Invoices are issued electronically to the billing data provided by the Client. Non-payment authorizes SendME to suspend or terminate the service without prejudice to collecting outstanding balances.

7. Right of Withdrawal (Distance Sales)

When the contract is concluded with Consumers via non-traditional or remote channels, the Consumer may exercise the right of withdrawal within five (5) business days following contract execution, provided the service has not yet commenced or a legal exception exists. Once exercised, the contract will be terminated, and amounts paid will be refunded according to law.

8. Changes in Terms and Pricing

T&C and fees may be modified at any time and take effect once published on our website. Continued use implies acceptance of changes. WhatsApp and SMS fees are subject to third-party adjustments (Meta and mobile operators). For ALTERNA S.A.S.’s own pricing, reasonable prior notice will be provided. Taxes and withholdings will be applied according to law. The Privacy Policy may be updated to reflect regulatory, technical, or operational changes. Material changes will be communicated via usual Platform channels and/or email. Continued use after publication constitutes acceptance of the updated Privacy Policy.

9. Acceptable Use and Restrictions

It is prohibited to use the Platform for: (i) illegal, misleading, discriminatory content or content that infringes third-party rights; (ii) sending spam; (iii) affecting the stability or security of the Platform; (iv) attempting reverse engineering or unauthorized load/penetration testing.

9.1 Consent

The Client must have prior, express, and informed authorization from the Recipient and retain verifiable evidence of consent and channel/time preferences; this evidence must be provided upon request by ALTERNA S.A.S. or authorities. Where relevant, the Client declares that obtained consent covers the delegation to ALTERNA S.A.S., including any necessary international transfers and transmissions for service provision.

9.2 RNE, Contact Times, and Frequency

The Client must ensure that all communications sent through the Platform comply with applicable laws in the message destination country and, when applicable, in Colombia, applying the stricter rule in case of divergence. The Platform allows setting limits for schedule and frequency to facilitate compliance; however, configuring, verifying, and observing these limits is entirely the Client's responsibility. Messages scheduled outside permitted limits will not be retained or automatically rescheduled by ALTERNA S.A.S. For communications sent to recipients in Colombia, the Client declares and agrees to: (a) consult and respect the Registry of Excluded Numbers (RNE) before each campaign; (b) manage and honor recipients’ consent and opt-out requests; (c) respect legally permitted schedules (Monday–Friday 07:00–19:00; Saturday 08:00–15:00; no contact on Sundays or holidays) and frequency rules established by law; (d) maintain verifiable evidence of RNE consultations, consent, and preferences; and (e) hold SendME harmless from sanctions and claims arising from non-compliance.

9.3 Prohibited Content and Channel Policies

It is prohibited to send illegal, fraudulent, malicious, misleading, offensive, hate/violence/discrimination-inciting, or filter-evasion content; messages regarding drugs, prescription medications, tobacco or alcohol, weapons or ammunition, adult or gambling services, real or virtual currencies, live animals, body parts, or any content restricted by WhatsApp Business policies or destination country law. The Client will implement age verification controls when the product/service is regulated.

9.4 Anti-Spam and Abusive Practices

Sending unsolicited messages (spam), snowshoeing, phishing, social engineering (real or simulated), malware injection, impersonation, spoofing, cloaking, or any practice intended to bypass filters or affect deliverability is prohibited.

9.5 Compliance in Destination Country

The Client is solely responsible for verifying, understanding, and complying with applicable laws and regulations in each destination country or territory (telecommunications, consumer protection, advertising, anti-spam, privacy, messaging, and email) and maintaining evidence of compliance. ALTERNA S.A.S. does not provide legal advice for other jurisdictions, does not guarantee compliance in destination countries, and assumes no liability for sanctions, blocks, or restrictions arising from the Client’s non-compliance; the Client will indemnify ALTERNA S.A.S. for related claims.

9.6 Compliance in Destination Country

9.7 Indemnification

The Client will hold ALTERNA S.A.S. harmless against any investigation, claim, administrative sanction, fine, penalty, or expense (including professional fees) arising from (i) sending communications in violation of applicable law, or (ii) incorrect configuration or misuse of the Platform by the Client or its agents. ALTERNA S.A.S. has no obligation to monitor or validate regulatory compliance of Client messages nor provide legal advice on such matters.

10. Personal Data Protection

The processing performed by ALTERNA S.A.S. is governed by the Privacy Policy, which is an integral part of these T&C. The Privacy Policy regulates, among other things, (i) processing purposes, (ii) data subject rights, (iii) inquiry and complaint channels, (iv) security measures, (v) international transfers and transmissions, and (vi) retention periods.

10.1 Roles and Obligations

The Client acts as Controller and ALTERNA S.A.S. as Processor of Recipients’ personal data. Each party will comply with Law 1581 of 2012 and complementary regulations. The Client declares it has a legal basis to provide personal data to ALTERNA S.A.S. and to carry out communications.

10.2 Sub-processors, International Transfers

The Client authorizes ALTERNA S.A.S. to contract Sub-processors and perform transmissions and, where applicable, international transfers strictly necessary to provide the service (e.g., cloud providers, SMS/email routing, WhatsApp APIs). ALTERNA S.A.S. will contractually oblige Sub-processors to meet equivalent security and confidentiality standards. The Client guarantees that consent obtained from Recipients covers these operations and, when required, complies with Law 1581 and regulatory provisions regarding transfers to countries without adequate protection.

10.3 Evidence of Consent and Preferences

The Client will retain verifiable proof of consent, channel/time preferences, and opt-out records for the time necessary to defend claims, and provide it upon request by ALTERNA S.A.S. or authorities.

10.4 Information Security and Client Responsibilities

ALTERNA S.A.S. implements reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect information, as described in the Privacy Policy. The Client is responsible for its own logical security (access management, API keys, webhooks) and for instructing ALTERNA S.A.S. legally and documented.

10.5 Handling Data Subject Rights and Cooperation

Each party will collaborate to address data subject requests (access, correction, deletion, revocation) within legal deadlines. The Client, as Controller, will process requests received and may request support from the Processor for operations conducted on the Platform.

10.6 Data Return/Deletion upon Termination and Minimum Retention

Upon service termination or Client instruction, ALTERNA S.A.S. will delete or return personal data processed as Processor, except for minimum information and logs required for legal evidence, auditing, and compliance, in accordance with the Privacy Policy.

10.7 Indemnity for Responsible Party’s Non-Compliance

The Client releases and indemnifies ALTERNA S.A.S. from sanctions, damages, or claims arising from its role as data Controller when they result from the Client’s non-compliance. ALTERNA S.A.S. will be liable exclusively for its own breaches as Data Processor.

11. Intellectual Property and Licenses

SendME (software, interfaces, documentation, trademarks, and logos) is owned by ALTERNA S.A.S. The Client is granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable license to use the Platform during the term of the contract. The Client retains ownership of its Content and grants SendME, for the duration of the contract, a non-exclusive license to host, reproduce, transmit, and process such Content solely to provide the service and comply with legal obligations. Decompiling, reverse engineering, sublicensing, or transferring the license is prohibited.

12. Service Availability

SendME will strive to maintain high levels of availability. However, scheduled maintenance and updates may occur. SendME does not guarantee uninterrupted availability and will not be liable for unavailability caused by third parties, force majeure, the Internet, telecom providers, or Client breaches.

13. Rights and Obligations of SendME

8.1 Service Provision

We send messages as requested by the Client, using operators' infrastructure, email servers, and official WhatsApp APIs. We do not guarantee delivery of every message or the success of campaigns.

8.2 Monitoring and Suspension

We may audit usage to detect spam, fraud, or violations and request proof of consent. We may suspend or cancel accounts, templates, or campaigns that violate these T&C, channel policies, or the law, including the Privacy Policy.

8.3 Maintenance, Support, and Security

We perform scheduled maintenance and strive to communicate incidents in advance. Support is provided through designated channels. Reasonable technical and organizational measures are implemented to protect information.

8.4 Blocking, Suspensions, and Restrictions by Third Parties (Client Responsibility)

The Client acknowledges and accepts that third parties such as Meta/WhatsApp, mobile operators, ISPs/ESPs, anti-spam lists, email and gateway providers, as well as authorities and messaging platforms, may block, suspend, limit, or degrade senders, numbers, templates, domains, IPs, or Client accounts, or reject messages/campaigns due to policies, reputation, complaints, bounce/opt-out rates, content, volume, poor authentication (e.g., SPF/DKIM/DMARC), or regulatory compliance. These events are the Client’s sole risk and do not constitute a breach by ALTERNA S.A.S., nor entitle the Client to refunds, compensation, or indemnity. The Client assumes full responsibility and will hold ALTERNA S.A.S. harmless for any associated consequences.

8.5 Nature of Service: Not an Agency, BPO, or Representation

SendME is a SaaS service. ALTERNA S.A.S. does not act as an advertising agency, call center, collection BPO, intermediary, or representative of the Client before Recipients or authorities. It does not create, edit, or approve Client content, decide audiences, contact Recipients on behalf of the Client, or assume legal advisory obligations. All interactions with Recipients are initiated and controlled by the Client via the Platform and/or APIs.

8.6 Automations, Integrations, and Webhooks

The Client may enable automations (events, flows, webhooks, integrations) that trigger messages without manual intervention. Such actions are considered Client instructions to the Processor and are executed under the Client's sole responsibility, who must verify regulatory and channel policy compliance.

14. Rates and Billing

Rates are set per plan and message volume (SMS, emails, and WhatsApp). Top-ups and balances are non-refundable, except as required by law. Price changes from third parties (Meta/operators) will be passed to the Client. Applicable taxes will be invoiced according to regulations. The Client must maintain accurate billing information and pay on time; late payments may incur interest and service suspension.

15. Refund Policy and Limitation of Liability

No refunds of balances or payments are granted, except as required by law. ALTERNA S.A.S.'s total liability to the Client will not exceed the amount paid for the service in the three (3) months prior to the triggering event. ALTERNA S.A.S. is not liable for indirect damages, data loss, or lost profits. This limitation does not apply in cases of fraud or gross negligence by ALTERNA S.A.S., nor where prohibited by law.

16. Suspension and Termination

ALTERNA S.A.S. may suspend or terminate the service for: (i) non-payment; (ii) violation of these T&C or the law; (iii) fraud or security risks. The Client may terminate at any time with written notice, without prejudice to incurred charges. Upon termination, SendME will provide data export in accordance with the Privacy Policy and DPA and will proceed with deletion or anonymization according to law. At termination, ALTERNA S.A.S. will delete or anonymize personal data, retaining minimal information and logs necessary for evidence, auditing, and legal compliance.

17. Confidentiality

Each party agrees to maintain the confidentiality of non-public information received from the other, use it only for the contractual relationship, and protect it with reasonable standards. There is no obligation regarding information that is: (i) public; (ii) previously known legitimately; (iii) independently developed; or (iv) disclosed by legal or regulatory mandate.

18. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These T&C are governed by the laws of the Republic of Colombia. Any dispute will be submitted to the courts of Bogotá D.C., Colombia.

19. Notifications

Communications sent to the registered emails of each party and messages displayed on the platform are valid. Changes to notification information must be reported in writing.

20. Entire Agreement and Document Hierarchy

  • 20.1 Precedence Regarding Personal Data
  • In case of conflict between these T&C and the Privacy Policy solely regarding personal data processing, the Privacy Policy will prevail. If a DPA/Processing Addendum is executed with the Client, the DPA will prevail over the Privacy Policy and T&C concerning processing.
