If you opt in, PeptSci Alerts sends recurring automated text messages to the mobile number you provide about your account and orders, including: order confirmations and status changes, shipping, tracking, and delivery notifications, account verification and security alerts, invoice and payment reminders, and replies to support requests you have opened with us. PeptSci Alerts does not send promotional or marketing messages.

By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber or customary user of the mobile number provided and that you are at least 18 years of age. You will receive a one-time confirmation message when your enrollment is complete.

Reply STOP (or STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, or QUIT) to any message from Peptsci, or turn off Text Message Notifications under Account Settings → SMS Preferences. After you send STOP we will send one final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further PeptSci Alerts messages unless you re-enroll. To re-enroll, follow the steps in Section 14.2 or reply START.

Peptsci is not responsible for messages that are delayed, misdirected, or not delivered for reasons outside our control.

14.9 Changes to Your Mobile Number. You agree to notify Peptsci promptly (by updating your Account Settings or emailing support@peptsci.com) if you change, deactivate, or transfer the mobile number you enrolled, so that we do not text a number that no longer belongs to you.

14.10 Privacy. Mobile phone numbers and SMS consent collected through PeptSci Alerts are used only to deliver the messages described in this Section 14 and are handled as described in our Privacy Policy (see Section 7.2, "Marketing and SMS Preferences"). Your mobile number and SMS opt-in data will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for their own marketing purposes. We use a third-party messaging provider acting on our behalf to transmit messages.
