If there is any conflict between this Agreement and the Terms of Use and or the Privacy Policy, this Agreement shall be overriding. 1.3. The Agreement is made between You the user of the Service (“You”, “Your”) and PageOne Communications Ltd (registration number: 4560277) whose registered office is 2 Brentside Executive Centre, Great West Road, Brentford, Middlesex, TW8 9DA (“Us”, “We”, “Our”). 1.4.

The terms and conditions of this Agreement are the only terms and conditions upon which We are prepared to make the Service available to You and they shall govern the use of the Service to the exclusion of all other terms and conditions. 2. The Service 2.1. The DoddleDiary Service enables the user to hold information and events with dates and times in the form of a diary. Access may be granted to other diary holders to view and/or amend diary entries. Event notifications can be communicated to other diary holders using their diaries, or to other people, using email or SMS text messages. Events may be coordinated between diary holders through their accounts, by email or SMS text messages. Reminder alerts can also be communicated by email or SMS text messages. 2.2. The Service is made available to You as an account, to which a password is allocated through the provisioning process. The Service is then accessed via a web application known as DoddleDiary using Our website. 2.3. To operate part of the service you may need to buy message credits. Each time You send a message to a single mobile phone We will deduct a credit from Your total of credits. 2.4. You need to have at least one message credit to send a SMS text message. 3. Availability And Interruption Of The Service 3.1. We will make the Service available to You using reasonable skill and care. 3.2. You do however acknowledge and agree that the availability of the Service, Your ability to access and/or use the Service and the conveyance of messages to and from end-users may depend upon factors beyond Our control, including (but not limited to) factors affecting the operation of the Service and/or preventing the delivery of messages to end-users (such as, by way of example, geographical or topographical shortcomings in the network of any telecommunications network operator (“Network Operator”), network capacity, physical obstructions or atmospheric conditions) or factors preventing end-users from receiving messages (for example, the terms and conditions of an end-user’s service provider). 3.3. We use GSM networks to deliver SMS text messages for you and We expect the speed of delivery will typically be within 20 seconds. However We shall not be liable to any person if such message delivery does not occur or is delayed. The GSM networks may reject the message because the subscriber number is invalid or is unable to process or deliver the message. Messages delivered to the GSM networks will expire after 12 hours if not delivered within this time. Messages delivered to the GSM networks will be deducted from the account SMS total even if they have not necessarily been delivered to the intended handset or have been rejected. 3.4. We cannot guarantee that the Service will be available to you at all times or that it will be free from faults or interruptions, nor can We guarantee the receipt by the intended recipient(s) of any message sent using the Service. 3.5.
