TEXT MESSAGING TERMS AND CONDITIONS

This Text Message Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy describes the information Guide by Cell Inc. and our divisions Engage by Cell, Train by Cell and Give by Cell (collectively “EBC”) collect when an organization (“Organization/User/Users”) uses EBC’s cloud – based software and services (“Services.”) (All terms defined below). By “Opting In” to or using Provider’s “Text Message Service”, you accept these Terms & Conditions and agree to resolve disputes with Provider through binding arbitration (and with very limited exceptions, not in court), and you waive any right to participate in class actions, all as detailed in the “Disputes” section below.

DEFINITIONS
‍
“Services” mobile technology offerings provided by EBC (“Provider”).

“Text Message Service”: includes any arrangement or situation in which Provider sends (or indicates that it may send, or receives a request that it send) one or more text messages.

“Organization”, “User(s)”: Individual(s), company, or organization who uses EBC’s technology.

“Provider” or “EBC”: Guide by Cell Inc., a California Corporation, or one of its divisions Engage by Cell, Give by Cell, Train by Cell, Win by Cell, or Fund by Cell

“User” or “End User”: The person or persons who interact with Provider’s services.

“ Code”: Phone number the Organization will use to send and receive text messages, either the Providers shared short code (56512 - presently being phased out), or a 10-digit long code purchased by the Organization.

“SMS”: “Short Message Service”, a technology which is used by Provider for its Text Messaging Service that employs cellular networks to send and receive data.

OPTING IN

By Opting In to a Text Message Service:

“Opting In,” “Opt In” and “Opt-In”: refer to requesting, joining, agreeing to, enrolling in, signing up for, acknowledging, or otherwise consenting to receive one or more text messages.

You authorize the Provider to use their SMS platform to send text messages to the cell phone number associated with your Opt-In (i.e., the number listed on the Opt-In form or instructions, or, if none, the number from which you send the Opt-In, or, if none, the number on file for the account associated with your Opt-In).

You are signing your Opt-In to the Text Message Service.

You confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant phone number or that you are the customary user of that number on a family or business plan and that you are authorized to Opt In.

You consent to the use of an electronic record to document your Opt-In. To withdraw that consent, request a free paper or email copy of the Opt-In, or to update our records with your contact information, please call (415) 615-0150. To view and retain an electronic copy of these Terms & Conditions or the rest of your Opt-In, you will need (i) a device (such as a computer or cell phone) with internet access, and (ii) either a printer or storage space on such device. For an email copy, you’ll also need an email account you can access from the device, along with a browser or other software that can display the emails. These Terms & Conditions still will apply if you withdraw the consent mentioned above or opt out of the Text Message Service.

After Opting In, in addition to the main messages the service offers, you may receive one or more welcome messages or administrative messages, such as (in some cases) a request to confirm your Opt-In.

ABOUT THE TEXT MESSAGE SERVICES AND OPTING OUT

Message and data rates may apply. Text Message Services may send multiple, recurring messages. Provider may terminate any Text Message Service or your participation in it at any time with or without notice, including, for example, before you have received any or all messages that you otherwise would have received, but these Terms & Conditions still will apply. For Text Message Services, text HELP to the sending number for help and STOP to that number to opt out. Your opt-out request may generate either a confirmation text or a texted request to clarify the Text Message Service to which it applies (if you have more than one). To complete your opt-out, please provide the requested clarification.

You consent to the handling of your information as described in this Privacy Policy (see below). To contact Provider’s customer service, call (415) 615-0150. You must be 18 years of age or older (except Alabama and Nebraska, where you must be 19 years of age or older).

DISPUTES

Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to a Text Message Service will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Conditions of Use.

BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY. ALTHOUGH REVIEW IS LIMITED, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, AND MUST ENFORCE THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF USE AS A COURT WOULD.

To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a demand to the American Arbitration Association (AAA) describing your claim and serve a copy of the demand to Guide by Cell, Inc, 5610A Granny White Pike, Brentwood, TN 37027. The AAA’s rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney’s fees) for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. Likewise, Provider will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.

We each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings of any nature or in any forum will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. This means that you may not purport to act on behalf of a class or any other person. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.

If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, Provider waives any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim would be decided by a judge, not a jury.

We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to seek to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

APPLICABLE LAW

THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT AND APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW (OR IN THE ABSENCE OF APPLICABLE FEDERAL LAW, THEN THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA), WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS, WILL GOVERN THESE TERMS & CONDITIONS AND APPLY TO ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS AGAINST PROVIDER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO ANY TEXT MESSAGE SERVICE FROM PROVIDER.

IMPORTANT: TEXT MESSAGING COMPLIANCE AND FEES!

Read carefully to avoid substantial additional fees, cancellations without warning, and other repercussions due to noncompliance

U.S. carriers and aggregates provide application-to-person (A2P) messaging channels, such as Toll-Free numbers, and 10-digit long codes (A2P 10DLC), which are acquired by the Provider for the Organization to uphold a sanctioned channel for messaging that will ensure consumers reliably receive wanted messages. Messaging campaigns that are non-compliant with carrier requirements may be subject to significant carrier penalties. In the case of this misconduct, the provider will bill these fees directly to the Organization who will reimburse the Provider in full.

Carriers may change how campaign fees are structured at any time. These changes are not controlled by EBC, and additional fees will be passed through to the Organization. Carriers may also suspend or cancel campaigns anytime they wish. If your account is flagged and text messages that you have sent are not delivered, the organization will be responsible for the test messages sent regardless of the delivery status.

For more information, refer to T-Mobile’s Code of Conduct, AT&T's Code of Conduct, AT&T Code of Conduct FAQ, and CTIA’s Best Practices; and adopt these industry standards into your messaging operations. Failure to adhere to these guidelines may also result in the Provider terminating this Agreement.

EXAMPLE OF CURRENT PENALTIES OUTLINED BY T-MOBILE:

Content Violation

Content violation is defined as sending messages in violation of the rules in the Code of Conduct. These are usually SHAFT violations (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco), but would also include spam or phishing. This T-Mobile-specific pass-thru fee is applicable for each unique notification of content violation involving the same content provider.

Fee: $10,000 per violation

Enforcement: T-Mobile will issue a warning prior to enforcing this fee. Provider will relay this warning to you via call and/or email to the Organization. This initial warning will give you an opportunity to come into compliance, without getting a fee. If another violation occurs after the warning, Provider will report the violation to you and pass this fee through directly on behalf of T-Mobile.

NON-COMPLIANT MESSAGING FEES FAQ

In the case of Content Violation, will my account be suspended to help with remediation BEFORE the $10,000 fee?

T-Mobile will issue a warning prior to levying this fee. Provider (EBC) will relay this warning to you via email and/or phone. This initial warning will give you an opportunity to come into compliance.

Please note that EBC will also enforce its own policies independently from carriers through outreaches and other remediation efforts, including account restrictions or suspension. However, EBC makes no guarantee that it will intervene in your non-compliant traffic before carriers levy the fees.

Is there an appeals process if I believe I have been incorrectly fined for a compliance violation?

Yes. EBC is still awaiting additional details from carriers on how the appeals process will work for compliance fees. However, EBC will conduct independent investigation into any reported compliance violations raised by carriers, and will work with you to appeal if the
penalty appears to have been applied in error.
