SMS Terms
SMS Terms & Consent
Last updated: June 30, 2026
These SMS Terms & Consent ("SMS Terms") govern the text messaging services provided by PeteTech Tools ("PeteTech Tools," "we," "us," or "our") on behalf of the businesses that use our platform. By providing your phone number and consenting to receive text messages, you agree to these SMS Terms.
1. When you receive messages
You will only receive text messages from PeteTech Tools or a business using PeteTech Tools when you have explicitly opted in. This happens when:
- You provide your phone number through a PeteTech web form and check the box agreeing to receive automated text messages.
- You reply to a message sent through PeteTech Tools and we respond to your reply.
- You send an initial text message to a business using PeteTech Tools (your message constitutes a request for a response).
We do not send text messages to anyone who has not explicitly consented. Simply calling a business does not opt you in to receive text messages.
2. Message frequency
Message frequency varies based on your relationship with the business and the type of consent you provided. Typically, you will receive:
- 1–5 messages per week for service follow-ups, appointment reminders, and account notifications.
- Occasional account or service messages (e.g., opt-in confirmation, delivery receipts).
If at any time you'd like to stop receiving messages, reply STOP to any message (see Section 5 below).
3. How consent is obtained
Consent to receive text messages is obtained exclusively through explicit, documented opt-in:
- Web form opt-in: When you visit a PeteTech-powered page, enter your phone number, and check a box explicitly agreeing to receive automated text messages. The checkbox includes clear language describing what you are consenting to, and links to these SMS Terms and our Privacy Policy.
- Text-to-join: When you send an initial text message to a business using PeteTech Tools, your message serves as a request for a response related to that conversation.
We do not use implied consent, purchased lists, or third-party lead data. Every phone number in our system is tied to a documented opt-in event with timestamp and source. Proof of opt-in is retained and can be provided upon request.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Opt-in data and consent information will not be shared with any third parties except as necessary to deliver the service (e.g., Twilio as our telecommunications provider).
4. Supported carriers
Messages are delivered via participating US carriers, which may include but are not limited to: AT&T, T-Mobile®, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Boost, U.S. Cellular®, MetroPCS, Cricket, and other regional carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
5. How to opt out (STOP)
You may opt out of receiving text messages from PeteTech Tools or a business using PeteTech Tools at any time:
- Reply STOP to any text message you receive through the service.
- We will send a single confirmation message that you have been unsubscribed.
- After opt-out, you will not receive further non-essential text messages through the service, except where legally permitted or required (e.g., a final confirmation).
- If you later wish to resume receiving messages, reply START where supported, or contact the business directly.
6. How to get help (HELP)
For help or questions about the text messages you receive:
- Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or call us at (215) 458‑5865.
- Contact us directly at [email protected].
- Visit https://petetech.tools for more information.
7. Message and data rates
Message and data rates may apply for each message sent or received. Rates vary by carrier and plan. Please check with your mobile carrier for details. PeteTech Tools and the businesses using PeteTech Tools are not responsible for any charges incurred.
8. Data privacy
Phone numbers, message content, and opt-in/opt-out preferences are collected and used solely to provide and operate the text messaging service. PeteTech Tools does not sell, share, or use mobile information for marketing or promotional purposes. See our Privacy Policy for more details.
9. Changes to these SMS Terms
We may update these SMS Terms from time to time. The updated version will be posted on this page with a revised "Last updated" date. Continued receipt of messages after changes take effect means you accept the updated terms.
