Any term used in these Terms of Use, but not otherwise defined, herein shall have the meaning given in the Terms of Service for the Go4whatsup Service and Go4whatsup Privacy Policy.

2. Usage of the service

The use of the service is performed with the help of an existing Go4whatsup user account — the user’s personal account in the Go4whatsup service (https://Go4whatsup.com). If a user does not have a personal Go4whatsup account, they should register on the official website (https://Go4whatsup.com/Login) according to the instructions provided during the registration process.

Prior to registering, we recommend reading and acknowledging these Terms, Terms of Service for the Go4whatsup Service, The Privacy Policy, WhatsApp Terms and Conditions, WhatsApp Business Terms of Service, and WhatsApp Commerce Policy.

During registration, the user fills in the required fields with their personal information (name, email address, phone number) and specifies a password they will subsequently use to access their account. The user is not allowed to give their username and password to a third party and bears full responsibility for the safety of their username and password.

All personal information is subject to the Go4whatsup Terms of Service and Privacy Policy and can be used by employees of the service to contact the user.

The user is obligated to provide valid information during the registration process; users who provide invalid contact information will be unable to use the service.

The user bears full responsibility for the accuracy of data entered during account registration.

Go4whatsup is the sole holder of rights to the service and its elements. None of the provisions of the Terms provide the user exclusive rights to the service and its elements or content.

By uploading сontent to the service, the user grants Go4whatsup the right to store and process such content for the purposes of fulfilling obligations under the Terms, ensuring that the service functions properly, without failures, etc.

The user guarantees that the сontent does not violate any intellectual property rights of third parties or any equivalent means of identification, rights to information qualified as commercially sensitive, and that such content does not discredit honor, damage the business reputation or dignity of third parties, or violate national or international law. The user is solely responsible for the content uploaded to the service.

Only users who have a verified Whatsapp Business Manager account and Business Manager ID can connect to the service.

You are only permitted to add several phone numbers/bots when using the WhatsApp Business API service if they belong to the same Manager ID.

The user guarantees that they are the end customer of the WhatsApp Business API service. It is prohibited to grant access to the WhatsApp Business API to provide service to third party businesses. This is a violation of Go4whatsup Terms of Use for WhatsApp Chatbot and Campaign Service and WhatsApp Terms and Conditions.

3. Procedure for service connection

To connect the service, the user shall fill in and submit an application to activate the WhatsApp channel and production environment for the WhatsApp Business API client in their user account.

The application shall contain a phone number that will be tied to the WhatsApp Business API client. This phone number must be able to receive voice calls or SMS. If the phone number indicated in the application is already associated with the existing WhatsApp / WhatsApp Business account, you are required to unlink it first to activate the WhatsApp Business API.

The phone number indicated in the application approved by WhatsApp and set up for the WhatsApp Business API Client environment cannot be moved to another service provider according to the WhatsApp Terms of Service.

By submitting the application, the user warrants that Go4whatsup undertakes the activation and management of the WhatsApp Business API Client and acts on behalf of the user in the process.

Upon receiving the application, Go4whatsup submits it for consideration and approval by WhatsApp. In such a case, the user’s WhatsApp channel is displayed in the list of bots with the “Submitted to WhatsApp” status.

If approved, the WhatsApp Business API Client environment is set up for the user.

4. Guidelines for using the service

The user sends WhatsApp campaigns from their Go4whatsup user account based on templates pre-approved by WhatsApp. The user creates a template for their future campaign on their own and sends it to Go4whatsup to submit it for further WhatsApp approval.

The template is approved within two business days or less; however, the approval period may be extended if there is a delayed reply from WhatsApp. The information about the approval status is available in the user account.

Content added to message templates shall comply with the Go4whatsup Terms and Policies, WhatsApp Template Guidelines, and WhatsApp Commerce Policy.

The message template shall not contain any promotional or advertising content, offers to sell, and sales of the following goods and services:

• Drugs, whether prescription, recreational or otherwise;
• Tobacco products and related paraphernalia;
• Alcohol;
• Ansafe ingestible supplements;
• weapons, ammunition, or explosives;
• animals;
• adult products or services;
• human body parts or fluids;
• medical and healthcare products;
• Items or products with overtly sexualized positioning;
• real money gambling services;
• dating services;
• products or items that facilitate or encourage unauthorized access to digital media;
• digital and subscription services, including links to or processing of any subscription sales, renewals, or upgrades;
• business models, goods, items, or services that we determine may be or are fraudulent, misleading, offensive, or deceptive, or may be or are exploitative, inappropriate, or exert undue pressure on targeted groups;
• currency of any kind;
• content that infringes upon or violates the intellectual property rights of any third party;
• other types of goods or services that are prohibited to sell, offer for sale, or distribute information about by the applicable legislation of the user’s or recipient’s country.

After the template has been approved, the user can use it to send campaigns.

To send campaigns, the user must have funds in an amount exceeding the estimated value of sending template messages (price for the volume of messages sent within a campaign according to the pricing plan) in their Go4whatsup account. The user must also activate the chatbot service subscription (paid separately).

5. Payment for services

Payment for using the service is made according to the procedure established by the Terms of Service for the Go4whatsup service taking into account special provisions of these Terms.

The user can connect to WhatsApp with no extra fees but first a chatbot service subscription must be activated (paid separately). When the current chatbot subscription expires, users should extend it or the existing WhatsApp chatbot will be disabled. Go4whatsup stores the data of the disabled bot for 6 months, after this period all data will be deleted without a recovery option. To reconnect the bot, you will need to reactivate your sender name and phone number.

There is no additional monthly fee and users only pay for messages sent within templates.

The price for using the service is determined based on the Go4whatsup pricing available in the “Pricing plans” section of the user account. The price for a template message depends on the country the user sends their campaigns to.

To send campaigns, the user must have funds in an amount exceeding the estimated value of sending template messages (price for the volume of messages sent within a campaign according to the pricing plan) in their Go4whatsup account.

The service may not inform the user about changes in the prices for delivering messages. The actual prices for sending messages are always displayed in the “Pricing plans” section of the user account.

The payment in the amount of the estimated value for sending a campaign in the account currency is withdrawn from the user’s balance at the moment the user sends a campaign. The user is only charged for delivered messages. If messages are not delivered, the money will be returned to the user account within 30 days, given that WhatsApp provides data about non-delivered messages.
