Bluepeak SMS Alert

These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of the text messaging (“Alerts”) offered by Clarity Telecom, LLC d/b/a Bluepeak and its affiliates (collectively, “Bluepeak”, “us”, and “our”).  The Alerts are available only to subscribers of Bluepeak services. These Terms apply in addition to all other terms, agreements, and policies that apply to the Bluepeak services.

Receiving Alerts and your Acknowledgments. In order to use the Alerts, you may be required to provide information about yourself (such as account identification, phone number(s), and contact details) to verify your status as the account holder or authorized person on the Bluepeak account.  By providing your mobile phone number(s) to Bluepeak and its affiliates and consenting to receive further updates via Alerts, you provide us with your express consent to receive Alerts (Short Messaging Service “SMS” and Multimedia Messaging Service “MMS”) at that number and (i) acknowledge and represent to us that you are the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) that you link to our text message service or have been granted permission by the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) to enroll such mobile phone(s) in the service; (ii) you grant Bluepeak express consent to send text messages to that (those) mobile phone(s) through your wireless phone carrier unless and until such permission is revoked in accordance with these Terms; (iii) you agree your receipt of SMS and/or MMS messages from Bluepeak is NOT a violation of state or federal rules including, but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act; (iv) you understand that your wireless carrier may charge you additional message and data fees for receipt of our text messages; and (v) by granting such permission to Bluepeak you hereby consent to receive such messages in spite of the fact that your number may otherwise be on the federal or a state’s do-not-call list, and you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that such text messages shall not be in violation of such do-not-call list(s) or related restrictions.

 

Types of Alerts: Informational and emergency Alerts may be activated on your account automatically, you may receive enrollment confirmation messages, or both may occur. These messages allow us to inform you about planned and unplanned service outages in your area, appointment reminders, as well as remind you about important account information (invoice availability, balance due and payment due dates, payment confirmations, and other issues).  If you do not wish to receive such alerts, you must notify us as indicated below.  We may also inform you about the availability of special promotions that we are offering through text messages.

 

Stopping Alerts: Alerts can be cancelled at any time by texting “STOP” from your mobile phone in response to a text message from Bluepeak, or texting “STOP” to 888-975-4258. You agree that your prior express consent to receive Alerts shall continue indefinitely unless and until you cancel your prior express consent through the means mentioned in this paragraph. Other methods or means attempted to revoke your prior express consent may cause unnecessary delay or be ineffective and you hereby release Bluepeak from any liability related to your efforts to revoke your prior express consent by methods or means other than texting “STOP” (without spaces or other words) to 888-975-4258. If you are revoking your consent by texting “STOP” to 888-975-4258 (or in response to a Bluepeak Alert), your text message should contain only the word “STOP” without any additional words, spaces, or characters either before or after the word “STOP.” Bluepeak  will reasonably endeavor to comply with other text (email or phone) communications in which you indicate a clear and unmistakable intent to revoke your prior permission; however, you (a) understand that text messages to 888-975-4258 go to an automated number that is not monitored by a human, and the ability to interpret your intent is severely restricted and, therefore, (b) you hereby release Bluepeak from any liability for your efforts to revoke your permission via a text message that does not strictly comply with the terms stated in this paragraph. Furthermore, by activating Alerts, you hereby grant Bluepeak express permission (without qualification) to respond to your cancellation request, whether that request came through a telephone call with a Bluepeak employee or by texting “STOP,” with a confirmatory text message in return that will (i) confirm receipt of your cancellation request as well as (ii) indicate that you will no longer receive Alerts from Bluepeak. Furthermore, you agree that Bluepeak will reasonably endeavor to send you the aforementioned confirmatory cancellation text message in a timely manner.

However, you hereby release Bluepeak from any liability related to a confirmatory text message or the timeliness in which you receive one.

 

Please note that this section only pertains to Alerts.  Regardless of your choices in this section, you will remain opted in to other Bluepeak communications you have consented to, including email communications.
