- Consent: You may subscribe using an optional, unchecked SMS consent checkbox or another clearly disclosed opt-in method. Consent to promotional text messages is not a condition of purchase. Agreeing to these general Terms does not, by itself, constitute consent to receive marketing text messages.
- Message frequency: Message frequency varies based on your orders, support activity, and the types of SMS communications you have elected to receive.
- Costs: Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and service plan.
- Opt out: You can stop receiving messages at any time by replying STOP to a text message. You may receive a final confirmation message. Other messages will stop unless you separately opt in again, subject to applicable law.
