Reporting violations
If you believe a Dial Kite customer is violating this AUP, please email contact@asldigitalsolutions.in with details. We investigate every credible report.
Consequences
We may, at our sole discretion: (a) warn you; (b) suspend specific campaigns or your account; (c) terminate your account without refund; (d) report you to TRAI, DoT, the police, or other authorities; (e) cooperate with any subsequent investigation or legal action; and (f) seek indemnification under our Terms of Service.
Inbound numbers (DIDs) — resale terms
Phone numbers (DIDs) purchased through Dial Kite are resold from our underlying telecom carrier (currently Vobiz). They are not issued to you directly by a licensed carrier and are subject to the following:
- Not portable. Numbers cannot be ported out of Dial Kite to another provider. If you cancel, the number is released back to the carrier and a future buyer may receive it.
- No personal ownership. The number is licensed to you for the duration of an active billing cycle. We retain the underlying allocation and may reassign it once your subscription ends.
- Immediate suspension on abuse. Any use of the number that violates this AUP — spam, fraud, harassment, scams, political robocalls, prohibited categories, or any activity flagged by the carrier — results in the number being deactivated immediately, without refund, and may be permanently blacklisted.
- Hands-off if the carrier acts. If Vobiz, TRAI, DoT, or any other authority instructs us to deactivate or release the number for any reason, we will comply without notice. We are not liable for any loss arising from such action.
- Identity snapshot. At the time you purchase a DID we snapshot your business name, GSTIN, and PAN onto the order record for telecom audit. You authorise us to share this with the carrier and authorities if required.
- KYC required. DID purchase is gated on your business KYC verification and personal phone-number verification. Resold telecom SKUs cannot be issued to unverified entities.
