Publication of subscription shortcodes

Legal Mentions – Subscription Service

 

For the usage of a shortcode in a publication the government and the operators have fix some legal mentions that have to be respected in every publication.

 

Here are the legal mentions you need to respect :

  • After each mention of the shortcode, you must put the price in the next format :
  • NL : X,XX EUR/SMS verzonden – X,XX EUR/SMS ontvangen
  • FR : X,XX EUR/SMS envoyé - X,XX EUR/SMS reçu
  • If incoming and outgoing message have the same price, you may use the following format : X,XX EUR/SMS ontvangen/verzonden or X,XX EUR/SMS envoyé/reçu

Examples :

  • 9128 (0 EUR/SMS verzonden/ontvangen)
  • 9354 (0,15 EUR/SMS envoyé – 1 EUR/SMS reçu)

PAY ATTENTION : the price must be mentioned on the same line as the shortcode

Before subscribing for a subscription service, the enduser should send his birthday in format DDMMYYY, to confirm that he is not a minor.

In every publication where a shortcode is mentioned, you need to add the graphical charter.  For more info, click here (3.13.1 - pages 17-19).
