CannabisTextMarketing.com Platform Terms & Conditions
Last Updated: June 2026 · Version 2026-06-01
By creating an account, subscribing to CannabisTextMarketing.com ("Platform"), or utilizing any services provided by Cannabis Text Marketing, LLC ("Company"), you ("Customer") agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions. Electronic acceptance constitutes a legally binding agreement.
1. Services
CannabisTextMarketing.com provides SMS marketing, customer engagement, campaign management, compliance review, audience segmentation, reporting, and related communication services for licensed cannabis businesses and related organizations.
The Company reserves the right to modify, update, improve, or discontinue features of the Platform at any time.
2. Pricing — Flat Rate Per-Text Model
Customer agrees to pay a rate starting at $0.025 (two and a half cents) per outbound text message. There are no monthly subscription fees under this model.
All messaging fees are charged from a pre-paid account balance. Customer must maintain a positive balance before any campaign may be sent. Unused balance is non-refundable except at the Company's sole discretion.
Additional carrier pass-through fees, 10DLC registration fees, or compliance-related fees may be assessed separately and will be disclosed in advance.
3. Pre-Payment Authorization
By providing a payment method, Customer authorizes CannabisTextMarketing.com to charge the initial deposit selected during account setup.
If the auto-reload feature is enabled, Customer further authorizes automatic charges of the selected reload amount whenever the account balance falls below $50.00.
Customer is responsible for maintaining a valid payment method. Failure to do so may result in service interruption or account suspension.
4. A2P 10DLC Registration — Customer Obligations
Cannabis SMS marketing in the United States requires registration under the A2P 10DLC framework administered by The Campaign Registry (TCR).
Customer must provide accurate legal business information — including legal business name, EIN, physical address, and website — that matches official government records. Inaccurate registration information will result in carrier rejection and account suspension.
CannabisTextMarketing.com will submit Customer's brand and campaign registration to TCR on Customer's behalf. Registration approval is subject to carrier review and is not guaranteed.
Cannabis is classified as a high-risk traffic category by wireless carriers, and campaigns may face additional scrutiny, lower throughput allocations, or rejection.
Customer is responsible for any 10DLC registration fees and must notify the Company immediately of any material changes to business information, messaging use case, or opt-in workflows.
5. TCPA Compliance & Prior Express Written Consent (PEWC)
The Telephone Consumer Protection Act (47 U.S.C. § 227) governs all commercial SMS. Non-compliance exposes Customer to statutory damages of $500–$1,500 per message.
Customer will only send messages to recipients who have provided Prior Express Written Consent (PEWC). Implied consent is not sufficient.
Customer will implement age-gating (21+) at every opt-in point and use a double opt-in process to create a verifiable consent record.
Customer will capture and securely store consent records (phone number, timestamp, IP/device, source URL/keyword, and exact disclosure language) and will honor opt-out requests immediately.
Customer will not purchase, rent, borrow, or otherwise use third-party SMS lists, and will provide proof of consent records on request.
6. CTIA Messaging Principles & SHAFT Content Guidelines
Cannabis content is treated by most major U.S. carriers as a restricted or high-risk category under the CTIA SHAFT framework (Sex, Hate, Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco — Cannabis added by carrier policy).
Every outbound message must include clear sender identification, a working opt-out mechanism (Reply STOP), and a working help response (Reply HELP), plus the disclosure 'Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies.'
Customer will not include explicit references to controlled substances, THC percentages, or content that violates state cannabis advertising regulations.
Customer will not send messages during carrier-defined quiet hours (before 8:00 AM or after 9:00 PM recipient-local) and will not send to jurisdictions where cannabis marketing is prohibited.
The Company reserves the right to review, hold, modify, or reject any campaign that poses a compliance risk.
7. Campaign Approval Process
All outbound SMS campaigns submitted through the Platform may be reviewed by CannabisTextMarketing.com prior to sending. The Company may reject, edit, modify, delay, or refuse any campaign deemed non-compliant.
Campaign approval does not guarantee carrier delivery and does not constitute legal advice.
8. Cannabis Industry Compliance
Cannabis laws vary significantly by jurisdiction. CannabisTextMarketing.com is not a law firm and does not provide legal advice. Customer remains solely responsible for ensuring all campaigns comply with applicable laws and carrier policies.
9. Prohibited Content
Customer shall not send messages containing false or misleading claims, unauthorized medical claims, illegal content, adult/sexually explicit content, hate speech, harassment, fraudulent offers, or any content prohibited by wireless carriers, the CTIA, or applicable regulators.
10. Carrier Delivery Disclaimer
SMS delivery is not guaranteed. Wireless carriers may filter, block, delay, or reject messages at their sole discretion, particularly for cannabis-related content. The Company shall not be liable for carrier actions or delivery failures.
11. Suspension & Termination
The Company may suspend or terminate accounts immediately for compliance violations, unauthorized messaging, failure to maintain a positive balance, excessive complaints, high opt-out rates, or suspected fraudulent activity. No refunds will be issued for balances at termination resulting from Customer violations.
12. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company shall not be liable for lost profits, lost business opportunities, regulatory penalties, or indirect or consequential damages. Total liability shall not exceed fees paid by Customer during the preceding three (3) months.
13. Indemnification
Customer agrees to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CannabisTextMarketing.com from any claims, damages, penalties, fines, legal expenses, or liabilities arising from Customer's campaigns, content, regulatory violations, TCPA claims, consent disputes, carrier complaints, or misuse of the Platform.
14. No Legal Advice
Any compliance guidance, templates, or recommendations provided by the Company are informational only. Customer is strongly encouraged to seek independent legal counsel.
15. Data & Privacy
Customer retains ownership of their subscriber data. Customer grants the Company a limited license to process subscriber data solely to provide Platform services. The Company will implement commercially reasonable security measures but cannot guarantee absolute data security.
16. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Michigan without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute shall be resolved in the courts located in Oakland County, Michigan.
17. Agreement Acceptance
By checking the required boxes and typing your full legal name, you acknowledge: you have read and agree to these Terms; you will be charged $0.025 per outbound text from a pre-paid balance; campaigns may require compliance review; you have or will obtain Prior Express Written Consent with age verification (21+); and you understand cannabis SMS is subject to carrier-level 10DLC/SHAFT restrictions and delivery is not guaranteed.
