UW Foster School of Business Text Messaging Terms and Conditions
Effective date: May 15, 2025
When you opt in to receive text messages from programs at the UW Foster School of Business, you can expect to receive messages such as program information, application deadlines, event invitations, and admissions announcements. We will not share your opt-in to an SMS campaign with any third party for purposes unrelated to providing you with the services of that campaign. We may share your Personal Data, including your SMS opt-in or consent status, with third parties that help us provide our messaging services, including but not limited to platform providers, phone companies, and any other vendors who assist us in the delivery of text messages.
Providing Telephone Numbers and Duty to Notify
You verify that the mobile number provided to UW Foster School of Business is true and accurate. You verify that you are the current subscriber or owner of any telephone number that you provide. Should any of your contact information change, including ownership of your telephone number, you agree to notify us before the change goes into effect by emailing us at [email protected].
Your Consent to Receive Automated Calls/Texts
You acknowledge that by voluntarily providing your telephone number, you expressly agree to receive recurring automated text messages (such as SMS, MMS, or successor protocols or technologies) from UW Foster School of Business concerning our programs, events, applications, and transactions, as well as your relationship with UW Foster School of Business. You understand that consent is not required to attend UW Foster School of Business. As always, message and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency will vary. If you have any questions about your text plan or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.
Opt Out Instructions
Your consent to receive automated texts is completely voluntary. You may opt-out at any time. To opt out of text messages, reply “STOP” to any mobile message from UW Foster School of Business. After you send the SMS message “STOP” you will receive an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from that number. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out. If you want to join again, sign up as you did the first time. If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword “HELP” for more assistance.
Indemnification to UW Foster School of Business
If at any time you intend to stop using the mobile telephone number that has been used to subscribe to SMS messages, including canceling your service plan or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you agree that you will complete the Opt Out process set forth above prior to ending your use of the mobile telephone number. You understand and agree that your agreement to do so is a material part of these Terms of Use. You agree to indemnify UW Foster School of Business for any privacy, tort or other claims, including claims under the Federal Telephone Consumer Protection Act or any state law equivalents, including claims relating to your voluntary provision of a telephone number that is not owned by you and/or your failure to notify us of any changes in your mobile telephone number. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold us harmless from and against any and all such claims, losses, liability, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees).

Miscellaneous
You warrant and represent to UW Foster School of Business that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes.
