Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts (GLMA) Text Service - SMS Terms and Conditions

The following terms and conditions ("SMS Terms") apply to text message programs offered by the Grand Lodge of Masons in Massachusetts (GLMA) and its affiliates. By enrolling in a GLMA text message program, you agree to the GLMA Privacy Policy and website terms and conditions, which are incorporated by reference.

Program Description. GLMA offers text messaging services through which GLMA sends periodic autodialed marketing and non-marketing text messages. You will only receive these messages if you have opted in to receive texts from GLMA. By enrolling in text messages, you agree to receive periodic recurring autodialed marketing messages at the mobile number that you provided to GLMA at the time of opt-in. You are not required to enroll in text messages as a condition of engaging with GLMA services. Although the GLMA Text Service is free, message and data rates may apply. You should check with your wireless carrier if you have questions about your plan and its coverage.

Opt-Out. If you wish to unenroll from the program, please complete the steps listed below for each phone number or short code that you receive messages from.

To opt out of GLMA text messaging programs:

  • Text STOP to 978.915.6555 or short code from which you are receiving messages.

  • After texting STOP, you may receive an additional message confirming that your request has been processed and may include instructions for resubscribing.

After you opt out, you may still receive informational and/or emergency alert texts from GLMA.

Your Wireless Number and Indemnification. By participating in GLMA texting programs, you represent that you are the account holder for the mobile telephone number you provided and that you are a United States resident 18 years of age or older. If your phone number changes, you must notify GLMA immediately at [GLMA contact number].

You agree to indemnify GLMA for all claims, expenses, and damages related to or caused in whole or in part by your failure to notify GLMA immediately of a change in your telephone number.

Warranty Disclaimer. The GLMA texting programs and all information conveyed are provided on an "as-is" and "as available" basis. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, GLMA disclaims all warranties, whether express or implied, including without limitation, any warranties of title, merchantability, non-infringement, and fitness for a particular purpose, as well as all warranties regarding security, currency, correctness, quality, accuracy, completeness, reliability, performance, timeliness, or continued availability. GLMA does not guarantee the successful delivery of text messages by your wireless provider. GLMA and the mobile carriers (for example, T-Mobile) are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. GLMA will not be liable for losses or damages arising from: (a) non-delivery, delayed delivery, or misdirected delivery of a text message; (b) inaccurate or incomplete content in a text message; or (c) use or reliance on the content of any text message for any purpose.

Under no circumstances will GLMA be liable for any direct or indirect, incidental, consequential, special, exemplary, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with the use of text messaging, whether or not GLMA has been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Class Action Waiver and Jury Waiver. You and GLMA each agree that any proceeding will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Neither you, nor any other participant, can be a class representative, class member, or otherwise participate in a class, consolidated, or representative proceeding. If a claim proceeds in court, you and GLMA each waive any right to a jury trial.

Governing Law. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your access to or participation in the Text Service will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles.

Modification. GLMA may revise, modify, or amend these SMS Terms and Conditions at any time. Any such revision, modification, or amendment shall take effect when it is posted to GLMA’s website. You agree to review these SMS Terms and Conditions periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes. Your continued consent to receive GLMA text messages will indicate your acceptance of those changes.
