9. SMS Communications

9.1 Program Description

SHINES OS operates an SMS messaging program ("Program") that sends text messages in two contexts:

(a) Platform messages to SHINES OS users. We send messages to users who have provided their phone number and consented to receive them. Message types include:

  • Two-factor authentication and login verification codes
  • Account notifications (password changes, billing and subscription updates)
  • Contact form confirmations
  • Sales follow-ups and demo scheduling
  • Appointment reminders
  • Lead and account notifications
  • Occasional product updates

(b) Customer messages sent by business users. SHINES OS provides CRM tools that allow our business users to send messages to their own customers and leads who have opted in to receive messaging from that business. These message types include appointment confirmations, project and delivery updates, follow-ups, and promotional offers. SHINES Creative LLC acts as the messaging platform; each business user is responsible for obtaining consent from its own contacts.

9.2 Consent

For platform messages, you expressly consent to receive SMS from SHINES OS by checking the SMS consent box during signup or by providing your phone number to a SHINES OS representative. Consent is not a condition of purchase.

For customer messages sent through the CRM, each business user must confirm that it has obtained valid consent from its contacts before sending messages. Business users are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining that consent in compliance with all applicable laws and carrier requirements.

9.3 Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on your activity and account settings.

9.4 Costs

Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge for messages sent and received. Contact your mobile carrier for details about your plan.

9.5 Opt-Out Instructions

You can cancel the SMS Program at any time. Reply STOP to any message to unsubscribe. After replying STOP, you will receive one final message confirming you have been unsubscribed and will not receive any further messages. To rejoin, sign up again through our website or reply START.

9.6 Help Instructions

For help or more information about the Program, reply HELP to any message, or contact us at info@shinesos.com.

9.7 Supported Carriers

The Program is available on most major U.S. mobile carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost, U.S. Cellular, MetroPCS, Virgin Mobile, and Cricket. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

9.8 Privacy

Phone numbers and SMS consent data are handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

9.9 SMS Service Provider

SMS delivery is provided through Twilio, our service provider, which processes phone numbers solely to deliver messages on our behalf.

10. Data Deletion

You may request deletion of your account and associated data at any time by:

  • Using the "Delete Account" option in your account settings

Upon receiving a valid deletion request, we will process it within 30 days. To revoke SHINES OS's access to your Google account data, visit your Google Account permissions. See our Privacy Policy for full details on data retention and deletion.

11. Service Availability and SLA

We strive to maintain 99.9% platform uptime. However, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access. Planned maintenance windows will be communicated in advance. We are not liable for downtime caused by factors outside our reasonable control, including internet outages, third-party service failures, or force majeure events.

12. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, SHINES Creative LLC shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, revenue, data, or business opportunities, arising from your use of or inability to use the platform.

Our total aggregate liability for any claims arising under these Terms shall not exceed the total fees paid by you in the twelve (12) months preceding the claim.

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SHINES Creative LLC, its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses arising from your use of the platform, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.

You may cancel your account at any time by contacting us or through your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms shall be resolved through good-faith negotiation. If unresolved within 30 days, disputes shall be submitted to binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitration shall take place in the state where SHINES Creative LLC is incorporated.

16. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
