Text Message (SMS) Terms and Conditions

Impact Central Illinois

Effective Date: 8/5/2026 Last Updated: 8/5/2026

These Terms and Conditions govern the text message (SMS) notification program operated by Impact Central Illinois ("ICI," "we," "us," or "our"), a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the Greater Peoria region of central Illinois. By providing your mobile number and consenting to receive text messages from us, you agree to these Terms and Conditions.

1. Program Description

Impact Central Illinois uses text messaging for a limited purpose: to notify existing members that an email communication from our organization is waiting in their inbox or to remind existing members of upcoming events. Our messages are informational only. They contain no marketing content, no promotional offers, and no third-party or advertising content. Every message identifies Impact Central Illinois as the sender.

2. Message Frequency

Messages are sent approximately twice per month. In rare cases involving a time-sensitive organizational announcement, an additional message may be sent, but our normal and expected cadence is twice monthly.

3. Consent to Receive Messages

Members provide their mobile number and consent to receive text messages when they join or renew their membership with ICI. By opting in, you confirm that:

You are the owner or authorized user of the mobile number you provided
You are at least 18 years of age, or have permission from the account holder
You agree to receive automated text messages from ICI at that number

Consent is optional. Agreeing to receive text messages is never a condition of membership, participation in any ICI program or event, or any purchase or donation.

If your mobile number changes or is reassigned, please update your member profile or contact us so we do not send messages to a number you no longer control.

4. How to Opt Out

You may stop receiving text messages from Impact Central Illinois at any time. Reply STOP or uncheck the text message indicator in your member profile to stop receiving messages.

After you reply STOP, you will receive one confirmation message acknowledging your request, and we will send no further text messages to that number. Opting out of text messages does not remove you from our email list or affect your membership.

5. How to Opt Back In

To resume text messages, reply START to our messaging number or re-check the text message indicator in your member profile.

8. Supported Carriers and Delivery

Our messaging program is supported by major U.S. wireless carriers. Carriers are not liable for any delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery depends on factors outside our control, including carrier availability, network conditions, and your device settings, and is not guaranteed. Supported carriers may change without notice.

9. Privacy

Information collected in connection with our text messaging program is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy, available at www.impactcentralillinois.org.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties/affiliates for marketing/promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties, except for the messaging service providers and subcontractors we use strictly to deliver our own messages to you.

10. Eligibility

Our text messaging program is available to ICI members with a mobile number capable of receiving SMS messages from U.S. wireless carriers. The program is not directed to individuals under 13 years of age.

11. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Revisions will be posted on this page with an updated "Last Updated" date. Your continued participation in the text messaging program after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

12. Disclaimer and Limitation of Liability

Our text messaging program is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Impact Central Illinois is not liable for any claims, losses, or damages arising from your participation in the program, including any failure, delay, misdelivery, or non-delivery of messages, or any charges imposed by your wireless carrier.
