17.2 Subscriptions
(a) Fair Usage Policy. At OTO, we want all of our customers to get the best calling plans, known as 'subscriptions', at the lowest possible price. This Fair Usage Policy ("FUP") is designed to prevent fraud and abuse of our subscriptions by a small number of users. Subject to this FUP, OTO's unlimited subscriptions allow unlimited calls to landlines in the applicable subscription countries (excluding special, premium, service and non-geographic numbers). Unlimited calls to mobiles may also be included where stated at the time of purchase. All calls will be disconnected and require a re-dial after a 2-hour duration.
OTO's subscriptions are for personal, individual, non-commercial use only, in accordance with our Terms of Use and this FUP ("Legitimate Use"). The following is a non-exhaustive list of practices that would not be considered Legitimate Use:
i. Using subscriptions for commercial purposes or commercial gain, for example telemarketing or call centre operations;
ii. Re-selling subscription minutes;
iii. Sharing subscriptions between users whether via a PBX, call centre, computer or any other means;
iv. Calling numbers (whether individually, sequentially or automatically) to generate income for yourself or others as a result of placing the call;
v. Regular calls of short duration or calls to multiple numbers in a short period of time.
Other practices may be relevant in determining Legitimate Use and OTO reserves the right to take any unlawful, prohibited, abnormal or unusual activity into account in making its determination. OTO may at its option, terminate its relationship with you, or may suspend your subscription immediately if it determines you are using your subscription contrary to this FUP or OTO's Terms of Use. Where reasonable, OTO will provide you with notice of improper usage before suspension or termination of your subscription and, if appropriate, OTO may offer you an alternative subscription.
(b) OTO reserves the right to withdraw or change the subscriptions at any time. If OTO changes the Products included in your subscription, OTO will notify you by email stating the changes and their effective date. If you do not wish to accept these changes, you are entitled to terminate your subscription, with effect from the date on which the changes are due to take effect.

If you send SMS messages to more than one person you will be charged for each SMS sent to each recipient. If OTO cannot (for whatever reason) send your SMS, OTO will continue to try and send the message for up to 24 hours after which time the SMS charge will be refunded to your OTO Calling Credit balance automatically if delivery is unsuccessful.
