By providing your mobile number and opting in to receive messages from us, you consent to receive periodic communications via text messages or other messaging platforms. The frequency of these messages will vary depending on the nature of the information being sent, such as transactional messages, promotional offers, or service updates. While we strive to maintain a reasonable message frequency, please note that it may vary, and you can always opt out of receiving messages by contacting us directly.
Message and Data Rates:
Standard message and data rates may apply when you receive text messages or other communications from us. These rates are determined by your mobile service provider and are beyond our control. We are not responsible for any charges or fees incurred as a result of receiving messages from us. We recommend checking with your mobile service provider for details on any applicable charges.
