Good to know
The key terms before you sign up. Ask us for the full agreement.
Verification is Meta's decision
We prepare and submit every document Meta requires, but business verification, green-tick approval, and any template pause remain solely at Meta's discretion. Delivery also depends on the recipient's device and network, so no provider can guarantee 100% delivery.
Rates can change
Meta and telecom partners revise WhatsApp conversation pricing without prior notice, and those changes flow through to billing. Campaigns sent outside the countries covered by your plan are charged at global conversation rates.
Billing and invoicing
All prices are quoted in USD and exclude applicable taxes. Billing runs monthly from the 1st, with the first cycle starting on your service commencement date. Invoices are based on the platform's own usage logs for messages sent, delivered, and read.
Annual review
Platform and service fees are reviewed on the anniversary of your start date. We may also revise pricing in response to Meta policy changes, operator rate updates, or other external cost changes, with notice by email.
Payment terms
Invoices are payable within 15 days of issue. Late payment may lead to service suspension, and a partial payment does not settle the balance outstanding.
Support and SLA
Standard support runs Monday to Friday during working hours by email, phone, and chat. Critical issues are addressed within 4-6 hours; non-critical queries within 48 hours.
