We allow importing and/or adding of email addresses and screen names once you read this agreement and then certify that your list is fully opted in and were not exchanged, rented, purchased or otherwise acquired from a third party in any way.

When importing and/or adding phone numbers for either text or voice solicitation message delivery, you will be required to prove the authenticity of the contact lists you intend to import and/or add. You must provide evidence that all contacts within the list have willingly opted-in to receive messages from you. In particular, if you are importing mobile numbers for text or voice solicitation messaging, you can only do so after obtaining prior express written consent. Click here for more information regarding the TCPA rule for text or voice solicitation messages.

Customers must complete the following steps to qualify for phone number importing and/or adding capabilities and to validate this certification:

1. Complete and submit a Certification for API Access and Adding/Importing Contacts.
2. Provide links to online sign-up forms used to collect contacts.
3. Provide images of the physical paper sign-up forms.
4. All methods provided by the business must be checked and tested by the technical support department for validity.
5. The signer of the contract must provide a government issued form of identification.
6. The business must provide proof of business establishment.

In addition to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding voice broadcasts, you agree to the following regarding your use of Voice Broadcast:

• You may import these numbers for use in Voice Broadcast if:
  • The subscriber has provided prior express written consent for telephone messages.
  OR
  • You are a tax-exempt non-profit charitable organization or a for-profit telemarketer making calls on behalf of a tax-exempt non-profit charitable organization and will be making non-promotional calls solely to members of the organization or previous donors.
• Calls will be limited to the period between 8 A.M. and 9 P.M. local time.
• You will maintain a "Do Not Call List" and honor any request to not be called again.
• No calls will be placed to any emergency telephone line, the line of any guest or patient room at a hospital, health care facility, home for the elderly or similar.
• You will not tie up two or more lines of a multi-line business at the same time.
• In addition, automated voice messages to mobile phones are not permitted under federal law without prior express written consent permitted under federal law without prior express written consent when sending a solicitation message. Having prior express written consent for a voice message does not automatically give you a similar consent for text messages (SMS). As a result, your list will be scrubbed for mobile numbers and an opt-in text message reaffirming consent for both voice message and text message will be sent to the mobile phone numbers. The subscriber must reply OK to the opt-in text to reaffirm their consent. We will not send automated messages to the mobile numbers included in your import list unless prior express written consent has been granted.

In addition to complying with all applicable laws and regulations regarding text-based marketing campaigns, you agree to all guidelines set forth in the Mobile Marketing Association’s (MMA) Consumer Best Practices Guidelines and TCPA, referenced above, including but not limited to the following terms:

• "Content providers must obtain opt-in approval from subscribers before sending them any SMS or MMS messages or other content from a short code." (MMA ID: CCS-08)
• "Beyond violating the subscriber opt-in policy, sending messages to third-party lists is not an effective interactive mobile marketing tactic." (MMA ID: CCS-14)
• "Selling mobile opt-in lists is prohibited." (MMA ID: CCS-15)
• "For recurring standard rate programs, subscribers should indicate their willingness to participate in a program and receive messages from the program as follows: (MMA ID: CCS-100)
  
  
  1. Subscriber initiates opt-in to a recurring Standard Rate Program by responding to a call to action (CTA) (MMA ID: CCS-101)
     1. i.) Subscriber may send a Mobile Originated (MO) message from their handset to the short code
     2. ii.) Subscriber may initiate opt-in from a web interface
     3. iii.) Subscriber may initiate opt-in from a WAP interface
     4. iv.) Subscriber may initiate opt-in from an IVR system
     5. v.) Subscriber may initiate opt-in from a paper-based consent form
  2. Program responds with pertinent phone, program, and contact information via a Web/WAP/IVR/handset/paper application-based form. (MMA ID: CCS-101)
• "This opt-in applies only to the specific program a subscriber is subscribed to and should not be used as a blanket approval to promote other programs, products, and services. However, after the subscriber has been given the complete details about the opt-in scope, the subscriber may opt-in to receive other messages. A content provider may, however, communicate with existing opted-in subscribers through non-premium messages that a) notify subscribers of updates to their existing service or b) are part of a retention program for that particular service. Directions to unsubscribe from these messages must be clearly available with the delivery of each message." (MMA ID: CCS-103)
• "Program flow and information must not be misleading in any way." (MMA ID: CCS-104)
• Any online forms and promotion used to collect customer contact data must include:
  
  [OrganizationName]: You will receive [DescriptionOfAlerts]. Get up to [Frequency] messages per month. Text HELP for help. Text STOP to cancel. Msg&Data Rates May Apply. Terms & Conditions available at [URL], email [Email], or call [PhoneNumber]
• All telephone numbers in the database will receive any message specifically and ONLY from the business or organization with your organization name and username and not any other. For example, if you own two restaurants, the contact list from restaurant A cannot be contacted by restaurant B. Furthermore, you are NOT allowed to import the list from restaurant A into a list that's specifically for restaurant B. An individual telephone number must be used for one specific business, organization, or location.
• In addition, the revised TCPA rule states that if you are sending text or voice messages for solicitation purposes, then your campaign must meet the "prior express written consent" standard. The TCPA defines "prior express written consent" as a signed written agreement that clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer that:
  • By signing the agreement, he or she authorizes the seller to deliver telemarketing messages to a designated phone number using an automatic telephone dialing system and
  • The consumer is not required to sign the agreement or agree to enter into it as a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services.
• Text messages will be limited to the period between 8 A.M. and 9 P.M. local time.

In addition to the above provisions, you also agree to the following:

• You agree to the Service's zero-tolerance anti-SPAM policy and other terms applicable to the Service. View the Service's Anti-SPAM Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Use.
• In any case where the Service must suspend or cancel your account due to violation of this agreement, you will not be given any refunds whatsoever.
