March of Dimes Inc. offers a mobile messaging program (the “Program”), which you agree to use and participate in subject to the following Mobile Messaging Terms and Conditions (the “Mobile Messaging Terms”). By opting into or participating in the Program, you accept and agree to these Mobile Messaging Terms.

User Opt In: The Program allows users to receive mobile messages by affirmatively opting into the Program.

Message and data rates may apply.

User Opt Out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to these Mobile Messaging Terms, you agree to reply “STOP,” “QUIT,” “END,” “CANCEL,” “UNSUBSCRIBE,” or “STOP ALL” to any mobile message from Us in order to opt out of the Program.

You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list is not a reasonable means of opting out.

T-Mobile and AT&T provide daily files for phone numbers that have deactivated from their network or been ported from one carrier to another. We proactively opt-out deactivated numbers from our subscription list.

Duty to Notify and Indemnify: If at any time you intend to stop using the mobile telephone number used to subscribe to the Program, including canceling your service plan or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you agree that you will complete the User Opt Out process set forth above prior to ending your use of the mobile telephone number. You understand and agree that your agreement to do so is a material part of these Mobile Messaging Terms. You further agree that, if you discontinue the use of your mobile telephone number without notifying March of Dimes of such change, you agree that you will be responsible for all costs (including attorneys’ fees) and liabilities incurred by March of Dimes, or any party that assists in the delivery of the mobile messages, as a result of claims brought by the individual(s) who is later assigned that mobile telephone number. This duty and agreement shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD MARCH OF DIMES, MARCH OF DIMES’ AGENTS, AND ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER MARCH OF DIMES USES TO SEND TEXT MESSAGES HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO NOTIFY MARCH OF DIMES OF A CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT, 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., OR SIMILAR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, AND ANY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER RESULTING FROM MARCH OF DIMES ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT YOU AT THE MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU PROVIDED.
