TACNow provides a programmatic SMS OTP delivery API. The Service allows you to:
- Send one-time passwords via SMS to end users

TACNow is a delivery-only service. We do not verify OTP codes on your behalf, and we do not store full phone numbers.
3. Credits and Payments
Credit-based billing. The Service operates on a prepaid credit system. Credits must be purchased before SMS can be sent. Credits do not expire.
No refunds. Purchased credits are non-refundable except where required by applicable law.
Pricing changes. We reserve the right to change credit pricing with 30 days' notice to registered users.
Insufficient credits. If your project wallet reaches zero credits, API requests will return an INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS error. No SMS will be sent.
4. Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the Service to:
- Send unsolicited bulk messages (spam)
- Impersonate any person or organisation
- Transmit fraudulent, abusive, or illegal content
- Circumvent rate limits through multiple accounts or API keys
- Resell or sub-license access to the Service without our written consent
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts in breach of these rules without prior notice.
5. API Key Security
You are responsible for keeping your API keys confidential. Do not commit live API keys to version control or expose them in client-side code.
If you believe a key has been compromised, revoke it immediately from the console.
6. Termination
Either party may terminate this agreement at any time. Upon termination, access to the Service is revoked immediately. Unused credits will not be refunded unless required by law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Malaysia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Malaysia.
