World Explorers Foundation –
SMS Terms of Service

1. Program Description

 

World Explorers Foundation ("World Explorers," "we," "us," or "our") is a Brooklyn-based 501(c)(3) nonprofit offering after school programs and camps for children ages 2 to 11. By enrolling in our SMS (text message) program, you agree to receive recurring text messages from us at the mobile number you provide, subject to these Terms of Service ("Terms").

Our SMS program sends two kinds of messages:

  • Transactional messages about your child's enrollment and our services, such as enrollment and registration confirmations, appointment and meeting reminders, class or schedule changes, pickup and dismissal updates, attendance notices, weather or closure alerts, billing and payment reminders, and account updates.

  • Promotional messages, such as camp and after school registration announcements, sales, discounts, special offers, new program openings, events, and news and fundraising updates, including our Scholarship Fund.

The SMS program is intended for parents and legal guardians who are at least 18 years old. Children should never be enrolled in the program with their own phone numbers.

 

2. Consent and How to Opt In

 

You opt in by giving us your mobile number and agreeing to receive texts, for example by checking the SMS consent box on a World Explorers enrollment or registration form (including our enrollment platform), by signing up on our website, or by texting a keyword we provide to our program number.

 

By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber or authorized user of the mobile number and that you consent to receive both transactional and promotional text messages from World Explorers Foundation, which may be sent using an automated system.

Consent to receive promotional messages is not a condition of enrolling your child or purchasing any service. You may decline promotional texts and still receive transactional messages related to your enrollment.

 

3. Required Disclosures

 

  • Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge for text messages and data, depending on your plan.

  • Message frequency varies. The number of messages you receive depends on your enrollment, the programs you are interested in, and our announcements.

  • Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and network, and neither the carriers nor World Explorers can guarantee that every message will arrive on time or at all.

  • Text messaging is not a substitute for emergency communication. In an emergency, call 911, and do not rely on SMS for urgent matters about your child.

 

4. Opting Out and Getting Help

 

To opt out: Reply STOP to any text message to unsubscribe. You may also use the words END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT. We will send one final message confirming your request, and you will receive no further texts from that program. You can also ask us to remove your number by emailing or calling us (see Section 6).

 

If you opt out of promotional messages, we may still send transactional messages needed to run your child's enrollment, unless you opt out of all texts.

 

To get help: Reply HELP to any text message for assistance, or contact us using the details in Section 6.

 

To rejoin after opting out, reply START or sign up again through one of our enrollment forms.

 

5. Other Terms

 

Eligibility and accuracy.

You must be at least 18 years old and the authorized user of the mobile number you give us. Please tell us if your number changes or you no longer use it, so that messages do not reach someone else.

 

Privacy.

We handle your information as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your mobile number, and we do not share mobile opt-in data or SMS consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing or promotional purposes. We may share information with service providers who help us send messages and run our programs, and as required by law.

 

Acceptable use.

You agree not to use our SMS program for unlawful, abusive, or fraudulent purposes, and not to enroll a number that is not yours.

 

Changes and suspension.

We may update these Terms or change, suspend, or end the SMS program at any time. When we update the Terms, we will post the new version on our website with a revised date. Continuing to receive our messages after a change means you accept the updated Terms.

 

Governing law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.
