32. Payment Services Regulation 2017
On 13 January 2018, an updated piece of banking legislation came in to force called the Payment Services Regulation 2017 ("PSR17"). This legislation is primarily focused on banking payment services, and to increase competition in the banking sector.
However, telecom companies that charge third-party services to their customers’ bills are also covered by this legislation. This means your mobile network operator must, for the first time, limit payment services to £240 a month.
The mobile networks are obliged to ensure their customers stay within these limits. Therefore, your network will apply a daily spend limit to remain compliant with the Phone-paid Services Authority.
What this means for you
What’s happening?
From 13 January 2018, your mobile network will monitor your usage and spending for any services that are covered by PSR17. Some customers will be artificially capped to £240 (Inc. VAT) on their current expenditure even though they’d happily pay their bills.
Which services are affected?
The following services will contribute to your £240 monthly spend limit:
Bars
If you exceed the £240 (Inc. VAT) monthly threshold, then your mobile network is required to limit your expenditure for these services by applying the Premium Rate bar and Charge to Bill bar. These won’t affect or limit any other usage or spend.
Text notifications
If you reach the £240 monthly spend limit due to any combination of services, you should receive a text message from your network provider to let you know that these bars have been applied to your account for the rest of the month.
Added 17.01.2018
33. Responsible Service Use Policy
Our Commitment to Consumers
At XxxSexContacts.com we are committed to creating once-in-a-lifetime experiences every day. That commitment extends to every facet of service interactions – right down to offering the best Service User support possible. We have created a Responsible Service Use Policy (“RSUP”) that not only assists an individual who may become addicted to our Premium Service but also makes consumers aware of things they may need to watch out for.
XxxSexContacts.com also supports the various safety features and security safeguards established by the mobile networks, including the use of a secure PIN number to prevent unauthorised access by others to their mobile handset; the implementation of content locks to prevent inappropriate content access; placing spend restrictions on mobile accounts to avoid over-spend. For more information on what safety features and security safeguards may be applied to your mobile phone, please get in touch with your mobile network operator.
XxxSexContacts.com is fully compliant with all applicable laws, rules, and guidelines relating to operating a UK PRS, and is recognised by many as an industry leader in the provision of Responsible PRS provision. This is based on a comprehensive set of responsible standards which are amongst the most rigorous in the world, designed to meet or exceed all existing PRS regulatory requirements.
Signs of problems or Service User vulnerability
Most experts agree that there currently is no reliable way to identify a Service User who may have a vulnerability/addiction to using a Premium service, just by looking at them. However, it is important to know some warning signs. These warning signs include, but are not limited to:
If you, or someone you know, experiences these or similar signs related to the use of PRS, please take proactive steps to seek confidential assistance and ensure that all safety and security actions which can be taken have been taken, including limiting account spend and/or blocking access to Premium services.
Answer these two easy questions to determine whether you might have a problem.
During the past 12 months, have you become restless, irritable or anxious when trying to stop/cut down on using a Premium service?
During the past 12 months, have you found it difficult to pay your mobile bills because they contained a high level of charges relating to PRS access which you can not reasonably afford?
If you answered ‘yes’ to either of these questions, you might have a PRS-related problem. For confidential assistance, please contact your mobile network to discuss placing a restriction(s) on your account.
Social Safeguards
If a Service User wishes to stop using the Service but has difficulty doing so, there are a number of actions which might be considered:
To encourage our Service Users to use the service responsibly, as intended and not spend more than he/she can reasonably afford, Service Users are advised to ensure the service is what they want prior to using it; to ask any questions about the service, as and when necessary, and to utilise free of charge spend restrictions available via their mobile network operator. Setting a voluntarily limit on your mobile account can be a good idea, as it will help you to plan and control Premium service expenditure beforehand.
An important part of our Social Responsibility commitment recognises that:
It is not our place to restrict service access, providing:
We recognise that:
34. How this service works
We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of this service/website.
XxxSexContacts.com is an adult sexting introduction service which aims to provide the best sex text service there is, but we can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the service at your own risk. This means you should satisfy yourself that the service is what you want before using it. If you do not know what sexting is, how this service works or what the costs associated with using it are, you MUST ask us for clarification BEFORE using it. We will always to our best to answer any question about the service, its use and how the billing works, as quickly and clearly as possible.
We can't accept liability for disappointment. We do not control who says what to whom. This is a service used by consenting adults 18 or older in the UK. If the service is not what you are looking for, for example if you are wanting to meet women in real life for sex, this is not a service with that aim.
