By providing your phone numbers, you are authorizing Thrive360.ai, its corporate parents, affiliates, and partners to deliver or cause to be delivered telemarketing promotions for products or services, using an automatic telephone dialing system or an artificial or prerecorded voice, as well as text messages. These communications may include additional products or services that may be of interest to you. Signing this agreement is not mandatory for purchasing any property, goods, or services.

We reserve the right to modify this Communication Policy at any time and for any reason. We will notify you of any changes by updating the “Last Updated” date of this Communication Policy. Any changes or modifications will take effect immediately upon posting the updated Communication Policy on the Site. By continuing to use the Site after the revised Communication Policy is posted, you are considered to be aware of, subject to, and accepting of the changes.

We, along with our related companies, officers, directors, employees, and consultants, are not responsible for any losses or injuries resulting from our communication services or any technical failures or delays.

Thrive360.ai or one or more of its affiliates may offer access to messages related to your orders and product delivery service through Thrive360 or its third-party vendors via recurring SMS (Short Message Service) and MMS (Multimedia Message Service) text alerts. To enroll in text alerts, you must provide your mobile phone number with an area code. By enrolling, you agree to the following terms and conditions, which become effective upon your enrollment.

You acknowledge that text alerts will be sent to the mobile phone number you provide to Thrive360. These alerts may contain limited personal information about your orders and/or product delivery, and anyone with access to the mobile phone or carrier account will be able to see this.

The consent requirements for communication with Thrive360’s clients Vary depending on the type of conversation and its nature. Conversational SMS/text messaging refers to one-on-one, two-way conversations between the company and its existing customers or known contacts with an established business relationship. In such cases, if a customer initiates the conversation and the company promptly responds with relevant information, verbal or written permission is not required. This is known as implied consent.

For informational SMS/text and voice recordings, the customer must provide their phone number and agree to be contacted in the future. In this case, explicit permission is required for the company to send informational text messages. Customers can grant this permission through opt-in methods such as texting a keyword, filling out a form, providing consent on a website, or giving verbal or written permission.

Promotional text messaging involves directly promoting, marketing, and selling the company’s business or services. Contacts must explicitly sign a form, check an online box, or provide consent through other means to receive promotional text messages.

Text messages may include call-to-action (CTA) links or buttons that prompt recipients to take specific actions, such as paying invoices, opting in or out of text message campaigns, accessing websites or web properties, connecting to calendars, and more.

Thrive360 sends text messages to clients to explain their services, provide informational content, and promote their business. Clients can opt out of receiving these messages by texting keywords like “STOP” or “UNSUBSCRIBE” or by expressing their disinterest during a call.

Clients may receive SMS text messages based on their activity or engagement with the company. By agreeing to the communication policy, clients consent to receiving text messages from Thrive360, with message and data rates potentially applying.

Thrive360 can only attempt to contact consumers when a service is requested or available. Promotional text messages may only be sent to contacts obtained through inbound queries on the website or other advertising pages used for lead generation.

Thrive360 operates a telephone system that is capable of recording conversations for Various legitimate purposes, including quality monitoring, training, compliance, and safeguarding. All calls, both incoming and outgoing, may be recorded, retained, and collected.

If the parties cannot agree on a location, the AAA or the arbitrator will make the determination. The arbitrator’s decision will be final and binding, following the terms of this Agreement.
