Text messaging terms

Space Coast Aquarium Society sends occasional text messages to members and event registrants who have asked for them. Messages cover membership renewal reminders and confirmations, club event and swap meet information, and links to published newsletters. The program is run by club volunteers.

You join by ticking the consent box on our text message sign-up page, by ticking the same box in your member portal, or by ticking it on an event registration form. The box is never pre-ticked, and we do not text a number to ask it to opt in. The wording you agree to is:

I agree to receive text messages from Space Coast Aquarium Society about my membership, renewals, club events and newsletters at the mobile number I provided. Message frequency varies (no more than about 4 messages per month). Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to stop messages and HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of membership or of any purchase.

Message frequency varies with club activity, generally no more than about four messages per month. Renewal and event periods may be busier than quiet months.

The club does not charge for text messages. Message and data rates may apply from your mobile carrier, depending on your plan.

Reply STOP to any message and we will stop texting that number. You can also turn text messages off in your member portal or email socials@spacecoastas.org. You will get one confirmation that messages have stopped, and nothing after that unless you opt in again.

Reply HELP to any message for program information and contact details, or email socials@spacecoastas.org.

Text STATUS to the club number and you will get one automatic reply with your membership status, the date your membership is paid through and any amount owing. Text NUMBER and you will get a reply with your member number, which is used for auctions. These work only from a mobile number the club already has on file for you, and the reply never includes anyone else's details. Replying STATUS or NUMBER does not sign you up for other messages.

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your carrier and coverage.

We keep a record of your consent, including when it was given and the wording shown. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes, and we do not sell mobile numbers. See our privacy policy.

If we change these terms we will post the updated version on this page. Consent you have already given is recorded with the wording that was in place at the time.
