By registering for or using Toosa, you agree to these Terms.

1. Our services

We issue unique phone numbers, landing Page (“Toosa Numbers”) to individuals and entities or their designees (collectively, “Toosa Pro”).


Toosa Pros can use Toosa to message with the individuals who have signed up to receive messages from their Toosa Number (“Toosa Followers”).


Please also read our Privacy Policy, which describes how we collect, use, and disclose information when you use Toosa.

2. Eligibility to Use Toosa

If you are under the age of 13, you are not permitted to use Toosa. If you are at least 13 and under 18 years of age (or under the applicable age of majority in your state or territory of residence), you may use Toosa, but only if you have the consent of your parent or legal guardian, including consent to these Terms on your behalf.


If you are registering for Toosa on behalf of an organization, then you are entering into these Terms on behalf of the organization, and you represent that you have the authority to bind the organization to these Terms.

3. Our Messaging Policies

You must not use Toosa to transmit any content or data that is unlawful, that infringes any intellectual property rights, or that otherwise violates our Acceptable Use Policy.


Though we have no obligation to do so, we may access, review, block, or delete your messages at any time and for any reason, including (i) to provide and develop Toosa, (ii) if we think your messages violate these Terms, and (iii) to comply with applicable law or any request or requirement of a court, law enforcement or other administrative agency or governmental body.

To become a Toosa Follower, you must: (i) start a conversation with a Toosa Pro (for example, by sending a text message to their Toosa Number); (ii) provide certain information, such as your name, date of birth, gender identity, city, and phone number; and (iii) give prior express signed written consent to receive recurring messages (which may be marketing and/or automated) from or on behalf of the applicable Toosa Pro via Toosa; (iv) use Toosa Search Engine to search for content managed by Toosa Pro. Your consent to receive such messages is not a condition of any purchase.


You agree that:


  • We may send you account-related messages at the phone number you have provided to us.

  • Toosa Pros may block you from messaging with them via Toosa at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

  • If you change or deactivate the phone number that you used when signing up to receive messages from a Toosa Pro, you will email us at help@toosa.com within 72 hours.

We have no control over and do not guarantee: (a) the suitability or legality of messages and content sent by Toosa Pros; (b) the truth or accuracy of messages and content sent by Toosa Pros; (c) the performance or conduct of Toosa Pros; or (d) who a Toosa Pro permits to access and use Toosa on their behalf. If you think a Toosa Pro is sending messages or content via Toosa Search Engine in violation of our Acceptable Use Policy, please email us at integrity@toosa.com.

For more information about our privacy practices (including information on how to stop receiving messages from all Toosa Pros), see our Privacy Policy. You may also request assistance at any time by sending a message that says HELP (case insensitive) to any Toosa Number or emailing us at help@toosa.com.


By sending messages to a Toosa Pro, you grant that Toosa Pro (including individuals and entities working or affiliated with such Toosa Pro) a worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, and perpetual license to reproduce, distribute, display, publish, and otherwise use your messages in any way and for any purpose, and you grant us all of the same rights to use your messages for the purpose of operating, providing and improving Toosa (such as to allow us to deliver your messages to the Toosa Pro, and to store your messages on our servers).


You acknowledge and agree that (i) a Toosa Pro may share your messages publicly (including for marketing purposes); (ii) you have no expectation of privacy with respect to messages you send to a Toosa Pro; and (iii) we may collect, analyze and use your messages together with your information, including demographic and location information, on an aggregated, de-identified or anonymized basis together with the messages and information of others, for any purpose, including to improve, enhance, further develop and test Toosa and any of our technology, to create and refine algorithms and other machine learning methods and processes, to identify and predict patterns and trends, and to train and refine machine learning or analytical models or engines.

12. Dispute Resolution

(Not applicable to Quebec consumers) If you are a Toosa user located in the United States or Canada, then section 13 below applies to you. Please also read that section carefully and completely. If you are not subject to section 13 below, then all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between us (including any communications between us), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory (“Disputes”), will be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County in California, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purpose of litigating all such Disputes. Without prejudice to the foregoing, you agree that, in our sole discretion, we may elect to resolve any Dispute we have with you in any competent court in the country in which you reside that has jurisdiction over the Dispute.


(Not applicable to Quebec consumers) The laws of the United States (including federal arbitration law) and the State of California govern these Terms, as well as any Disputes, whether in court or arbitration, which might arise between us, without regard to conflict of law provisions, and regardless of your location.


For Quebec consumers: These Terms, as well as any Disputes which might arise between us will be governed by the laws of the Province of Quebec, without regard to conflict of law provisions, and the laws of Canada applicable therein, and any Disputes will be submitted to the courts of competent jurisdiction of the District of Montreal (Quebec).

13. Arbitration

(Not applicable to Quebec consumers) If you are a Toosa user located in the United States or Canada, then this section 13 applies to you.


Except for disputes that qualify for small claims court, all disputes arising out of or related to these Terms or any aspect of the relationship between us (including any communications between us), whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, will be resolved through final and binding arbitration before a neutral arbitrator instead of in a court by a judge or jury. You agree that we are each waiving the right to trial by a jury. Such disputes include, without limitation, disputes arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of this arbitration provision, including the enforceability, revocability, or validity of the arbitration provision or any portion of the arbitration provision. All such matters will be decided by an arbitrator and not by a court or judge.


You agree that any arbitration under these Terms will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted and you are agreeing to give up the ability to participate in a class action.


The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location that is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other relevant circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the AAA or the arbitrator will determine the location.


The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof.


You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate by emailing us at account@toosa.com with your first name, last name, phone number, and address within 30 days of accepting this agreement to arbitrate, with a statement that you decline this arbitration agreement.


Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will prevent you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

14. Export Controls

You are responsible for complying with United States export controls and for any violation of such controls, including any United States embargoes or other federal rules and regulations restricting exports. You represent, warrant, and covenant that you are not: (i) located in, or a resident or a national of, any country subject to a U.S. government embargo or other restriction, or that has been designated by the U.S. government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (ii) on any of the U.S. government lists of restricted end users.

15. Changes to these Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we update these Terms, we will revise the “Last updated” date above and post the new Terms on toosa.com. Your continued use of Toosa (including, without limitation, signing up to receive messages from an additional Toosa Pro after an update) confirms your acceptance of the updates. If you do not agree to any update, you must stop using Toosa. We may also modify or discontinue all or part of Toosa at any time; or charge, modify, or waive any fees required to use Toosa.

16. Other Terms
