8. SMS/MMS Mobile Messaging Marketing
By accessing the Platform, you have the option to participate in the Company’s mobile messaging program (the “Mobile Messaging Program”). By accessing the Platform and opting-in to the Mobile Messaging Program, you agree that the Mobile Messaging Program is subject to this Agreement and the Company’s Privacy Policy.
User Opt-in: The Mobile Messaging Program allows Users to receive SMS/MMS mobile messages by affirmatively opting into the Program, such as through online or application-based enrollment forms. By participating in the Mobile Messaging Program, You agree to receive autodialed or prerecorded marketing mobile messages at the phone number associated with Your opt-in, and You understand that consent is not required to purchase our products. Your consent to receive messages sent using an autodialer shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of Blix’s mobile messages are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Blix may use a third-party servicer provider, including but not limited to Stodge Inc. d/b/a Postscript to transmit messages. You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies.
User Opt-out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Mobile Messaging Program, you agree to reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to any mobile message from Us in order to opt out of the Program. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt out. You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out. You acknowledge that our text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that alter, change, or modify the STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT keyword commands, such as the use of different spellings or the addition of other words or phrases to the command, and agree that Blix and its service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. 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 and will not constitute an opt-out.
Without limiting the scope of the Mobile Messaging Program, users that opt-in to the Program can expect to receive messages concerning the marketing, promotion, payment, delivery and sale of the Company’s products. Messages may include checkout reminders. Message and data rates may apply. You agree to receive messages periodically at our discretion. Daily, weekly, and monthly message frequency will vary. The Program involves recurring mobile messages, and additional mobile messages may be sent periodically based on your interaction with us. For support regarding the Program, text “HELP” to the number you received messages from or email us at support@blixbike.com. Please note that the use of this email address is not an acceptable method of opting out of the program. Opt outs must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth above. The Mobile Messaging Program will send SMS TMs (terminating messages) if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging.
We endeavor to comply with the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act as applicable to Florida residents. You agree that we may determine that You are a Florida resident if, at the time of opt-in to Program, (1) your shipping address as provided is located in Florida, or (2) the area code for the phone number used to opt-into the Mobile Messaging Program is a Florida area code. You agree that the requirements of the Florida Telemarketing Act and the Florida Do Not Call Act do not apply to You, and You shall not assert that You are a Florida resident, if You do not meet either of these criteria or, in the alternative, do not affirmatively advise us in writing that You are a Florida resident by sending written notice to us. Insofar as you are a Florida resident, You agree that mobile messages sent by us in direct response to mobile messages or requests from You (including but not limited to response to Keywords, opt-in, help or stop requests and shipping notifications) shall not constitute a “telephonic sales call” or “commercial telephone solicitation phone call” for purposes of Florida Statutes Section 501 (including but not limited to sections 501.059 and 501.616), to the extent the law is otherwise relevant and applicable.
