Your Registration Obligations: You are required to register with Group Text in order to access and use certain features of the Service. If you choose to register for the Service, you must provide a valid cell phone number. We will send a verification code to your number and you will be required to enter that verification code to complete registration.

Registration data and all other information you provide in registering with the Service are governed by our Privacy Policy. If you are under 18 years of age, you are not authorized to use the Service, with or without registering.
Text Messaging: There is no additional charge for telephonic communications, but your carrier’s standard message and data rates apply to any text messages, SMS, MMS or RCS messages you send or receive. Your carrier may prohibit or restrict certain mobile features and certain mobile features may be incompatible with your carrier or mobile device. We are not liable for any delays in the receipt of, or any failures to receive, any text messages, SMS, MMS or RCS messages, as delivery is subject to effective transmission by your mobile carrier and compatibility of your mobile device. Please contact your mobile carrier if you have any questions regarding these issues or your mobile data and messaging plan.
3. Conditions of Access and Use
Users must not misuse the services, violate laws, or send unauthorized communications. Accounts may be suspended for violations. Users are responsible for the accuracy of their communications and for respecting other users' privacy. We reserve the right to remove content or users violating these conditions without notice.
3a. Anti-Spam Policy
ANY MISUSE OF THE SERVICE FOR UNSOLICITED OR UNLAWFUL COMMUNICATIONS IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. SENDING SPAM MESSAGES, MASS UNSOLICITED INVITATIONS, OR REPETITIVE UNAPPROVED MESSAGES TO USERS IS A DIRECT VIOLATION OF THESE TERMS. USERS MUST ENSURE THAT ALL RECIPIENTS HAVE GIVEN PRIOR EXPRESS CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMUNICATIONS. WE ACTIVELY MONITOR MESSAGE TRAFFIC AND RESERVE THE RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE ACCOUNTS THAT ENGAGE IN EXCESSIVE OR UNAUTHORIZED MESSAGING THAT COULD JEOPARDIZE OUR COMPLIANCE WITH CARRIERS, TEXT MESSAGING SERVICES, OR OTHER TELECOMMUNICATIONS PROVIDERS.
Group Size Limitations: To ensure compliance and maintain service quality, the Service limits the number of members that can be added to a single group to 200. This limitation is designed to prevent excessive messaging, reduce spam risks, and comply with carrier policies. If you need to add more than 200 members to a group, you must contact our sales team for approval and access to an enterprise-level solution. Unauthorized attempts to bypass this limit, such as creating multiple groups for mass messaging, will result in account suspension or termination.
Our Definition of Spam: We define spam as any unsolicited, unexpected, or unwanted text message sent without the recipient’s prior express consent. THE USE OF THIRD-PARTY CONTACT LISTS, REGARDLESS OF HOW CONSENT WAS OBTAINED, IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Any communication unrelated to the recipient’s original request or interest, including promotional or irrelevant content, is considered spam and is not permitted on our Service.
Opt-out Policy: We support industry-standard opt-out keywords, including STOP, REMOVE, and UNSUBSCRIBE. When a user sends any of these keywords, they will be immediately removed from further communications. Clients are responsible for ensuring that they do not re-add any opted-out numbers to their contact lists. We maintain an internal opt-out list to prevent re-enrollment of previously unsubscribed numbers and a Global Block List to further enforce compliance. Failure to adhere to these policies may result in account restrictions or termination.
Reporting Abuse: If you receive an unwanted or abusive message, please report it by providing the sender ID, your mobile number (if you wish to be removed), the date and time of the message, and the message content. To report abuse or violations of our service policies, contact us with your comments or complaints. Your report will be reviewed, and appropriate action will be taken against any User or Client found in violation of our Anti-Spam Policy. The identity of individuals reporting abuse will be kept confidential. You can reach us at hello [at] grouptext [dot] co.
