Service Level Agreement

Last updated 7th of June 2026

Our uptime commitment

We aim to keep Mobile Message running around the clock, and we back that with a commitment: in any calendar month, at least one of our SMS gateways will be available for you to connect to and send Messages 99.9% of the time.

This SLA forms part of our Terms and Conditions and uses the same defined terms. Where it gives you a credit for missing the 99.9% commitment, that credit is your only remedy, and our only liability, for the downtime.

The commitment covers our own infrastructure. It is about gateway availability: your ability to reach us and submit a Message. It is not a guarantee that every Message reaches a handset, because final delivery depends on mobile carriers and other factors we do not control.

This SLA takes effect on 7th of June 2026 and applies to all customers using our standard, paid Service. It does not apply to features provided free of charge, on trial, or in beta, which are offered on an as-is basis.

How we measure it

We measure uptime over each calendar month, as the percentage of time that at least one gateway was available to send Messages, after setting aside any Excluded Downtime.

Uptime is calculated from our own monitoring and system logs, which are the basis for determining whether the commitment was met in any given month.

What doesn't count as downtime

Some interruptions are outside our control, or are necessary to keep the Service running. The following do not count against our 99.9% commitment ("Excluded Downtime"):

  • Scheduled maintenance — planned work on our systems, carried out either in a regular maintenance window or at another time for which we give at least 48 hours' notice (by email and/or on our status page).
  • Events beyond our control — such as natural disasters, fire, flood, severe weather, power or internet failures, industrial action, government action, civil unrest, or war.
  • Problems at your end — anything caused by your own hardware, software, network, internet connection, account configuration, or a third party acting on your behalf.
  • Carrier and third-party issues — any failure of a mobile carrier or other telecommunications provider, including a carrier not delivering a Message to a handset after we have correctly passed it on.

If we miss the commitment

If we do not meet the 99.9% commitment in a calendar month, and you were affected by the downtime, you can claim an account credit of AUD $52.50.

To be eligible, your account must be active and in good standing — that is, not suspended, not in breach of the Terms, and not relying solely on free promotional credits — both at the time of the outage and when you claim.

To claim, email hello@mobilemessage.com.au within 30 days of the outage. We will confirm the month's uptime and, if the commitment was missed, apply the credit to your account.

The credit is applied to your account balance and can be used to send future Messages. It is not redeemable for cash, and a maximum of one credit applies per affected month.

Support

Good support is part of keeping the Service available, so we make it easy to reach us whenever you need a hand — whether that is a quick question about sending Messages, help with the API, or something that needs investigating.

  • Live chat, 24/7 — our online chat is run by an AI agent that knows Mobile Message inside out. It can answer most questions on the spot, day or night, and will escalate to our team whenever something needs a human.
  • Email, monitored 7 days a week — write to us any time at hello@mobilemessage.com.au. We keep an eye on the inbox every day of the week, and most replies go out during business hours, Monday to Friday, 9am–5pm Melbourne time.

For anything affecting the Service more broadly, our status page is the fastest way to see current availability, planned maintenance, and any incident updates.

Changes to this SLA

We may update this SLA from time to time. We will give notice before any change takes effect, by email or by publishing the updated version on our website. Continuing to use the Service after a change means you accept it.
