Text messaging

SMS Terms

These terms explain the conditions for any text messages separately requested from Venue Forward. Venue Forward is a brand operated by Yilma.

1. Who sends the messages

These terms apply to text messages from Venue Forward. Venue Forward is a brand operated by Yilma. Email support is available at contact@venueforward.com.

2. Who the program is for

This messaging program is for wedding venue owners, operators, and their team members who contact Venue Forward about our services. We do not text people who have not contacted us and given consent.

3. How consent works

The website chat widget asks for text-message consent separately from the phone-number field. Emailing Venue Forward, providing a phone number, requesting a call, or making an inquiry does not by itself give SMS consent. Consent choices are optional and must be selected by the visitor.

4. Separate message choices

The chat widget presents separate consent choices for informational messages and promotional messages. Consent to one type does not provide consent to the other, and either may be withdrawn at any time.

5. Message frequency

Message frequency varies according to the messages you separately agree to receive and, for conversational messages, the activity related to your inquiry or scheduling.

6. Carrier charges

Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge for messages you send or receive, depending on your plan. Venue Forward does not charge for the messages themselves.

7. How to stop

Reply STOP to any message to end text messages from us. You will receive one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and we will send no further texts to that number unless you opt in again. You can also email contact@venueforward.com to be removed.

8. How to get help

Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or email contact@venueforward.com. Support is provided by email.

9. Carrier delivery

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier, device, and network conditions, and cannot be guaranteed.
