This Agreement outlines the rules and responsibilities for customers using IDBuzz SMS Marketing Services to ensure compliance with Opt-in & Opt-out regulations, industry best practices, and legal frameworks, including TCPA (USA), CASL (Canada), CTIA, and GDPR.
By using IDBuzz, you agree to send SMS messages only to recipients who have explicitly opted in and to provide an easy opt-out mechanism to comply with anti-spam laws.
IDBuzz users must only send SMS messages to recipients who have given explicit consent through one of the following approved methods:
Electronic Forms: The recipient enters their phone number and explicitly agrees to receive SMS by checking a consent box.
SMS Opt-in: The recipient voluntarily texts a keyword (e.g., JOIN, YES, SUBSCRIBE) to agree to receive messages.
Point-of-Sale (POS) or CRM Registration: Customers provide their phone number and consent during a purchase or account setup.
Written Consent: The recipient signs a document or electronic contract agreeing to receive SMS.
x IDBuzz DOES NOT ALLOW sending SMS without valid proof of Opt-in.
x Customers MUST store Opt-in records (timestamp, method, and consent details) for compliance.
x Unacceptable Opt-in Methods:
Purchasing phone number lists or using third-party databases.
Automatically adding contacts without explicit consent.
Assuming consent based on previous interactions without clear agreement.

Every SMS must include Opt-out instructions, such as:
"Reply STOP to unsubscribe."
"Text STOP to stop receiving messages."
When a recipient replies with STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, QUIT, or END:
IDBuzz shall immediately remove their number from the SMS list.
No further messages can be sent unless the user opts in again.
