Text Message Terms & Conditions

IronSmith uses text messaging to communicate with customers regarding dumpster rental inquiries, quotes, scheduling, delivery updates, pickup requests, account notifications, service reminders, and customer support matters.

By requesting, joining, agreeing to, enrolling in, signing up for, acknowledging, or otherwise consenting to receive one or more text messages from IronSmith (“Sender”, “we”, “us”, “our”) through Sender’s messaging platform (“Platform”), you accept these Terms & Conditions (“Opt-In”).

Notice Regarding Dispute Resolution: This Agreement contains provisions that govern and limit how claims you and the Sender have against each other are resolved. It also contains an agreement to arbitrate, which will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against us to binding and final arbitration and (A) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against the Sender on an individual basis, not as part of any class or representative action or proceeding and (B) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.

Opting In

• You authorize Sender to use auto dialer or non-auto dialer technology to send text messages to the cell phone number associated with your Opt-In (i.e., the number listed on the Opt-In form or instructions, or, if none, the number from which you send the Opt-In, or, if none, the number on file for the account associated with your Opt-In). You also authorize Sender to include marketing content in any such messages. You do not have to Opt-In or agree to Opt-In as a condition of purchase of any of Sender’s offerings.
• You confirm that you are the subscriber to the relevant phone number or that you are the customary user of that number on a family or business plan and that you are authorized to Opt-In.
• You consent to the use of an electronic record to document your Opt-In.
• You agree that, in addition to the main messages that Sender may provide, you may receive one or more welcome messages or administrative messages, such as (in some cases) a request to confirm your Opt-In.

About the Text Message Services and Opting Out

• Message and data rates may apply. You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.
• Unless otherwise noted, Sender may send multiple, recurring messages and frequency may vary. Sender may terminate any messaging services or your participation in it at any time with or without notice, including, for example, before you have received any or all messages that you otherwise would have received, but these Terms & Conditions still will apply. Your opt-out request may generate either a confirmation text or a texted request to clarify the Text Message Service to which it applies (if you have more than one). To complete your opt-out, please provide the requested clarification.
• You consent to the handling of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. To contact Sender customer service, at (706) 609-6015 | info@ironsmithequipment.com.
• You may text STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to opt-out of messages or for additional help, text HELP. 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. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt out. These Terms & Conditions still will apply if you withdraw the consent mentioned above.
• To request a free paper or email copy of the Opt-In, or to update our records with your contact information, or receive help with any messages, please contact us at (706) 609-6015 | info@ironsmithequipment.com. Minimum technology requirements may apply for electronic records.

Dispute Resolution

• Any dispute or claim arising out of or relating in any way to the Platform will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to these Terms & Conditions.
• BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO MAINTAIN OTHER AVAILABLE RESOLUTION PROCESSES, SUCH AS A COURT ACTION OR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEEDING, TO SETTLE ANY DISPUTES OR CLAIMS. THE RULES IN ARBITRATION ARE DIFFERENT. THERE IS NO JUDGE OR JURY. ALTHOUGH REVIEW IS LIMITED, AN ARBITRATOR CAN AWARD ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS THE SAME DAMAGES AND RELIEF AS WOULD BE AVAILABLE IN COURT, AND MUST ENFORCE THE SAME LIMITATIONS STATED IN THESE CONDITIONS OF USE AS A COURT WOULD.
• To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a demand to the American Arbitration Association describing your claim and serve a copy of the demand to (706) 609-6015 | info@ironsmithequipment.com. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association under its rules, including the American Arbitration Association Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The American Arbitration Association rules and the form for filing an arbitration claim are available at https://www.adr.org/rules-forms-and-fees/consumer/. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the American Arbitration Association rules. We will reimburse those fees (but not any attorney’s fees) for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines your claims are frivolous. Likewise, Sender will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location.
• You and Sender each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings of any nature or in any forum will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. This means that you may not purport to act on behalf of a class or any other person. Likewise, an arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
• If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and Sender each waive any right to a jury trial, unless such waiver is unenforceable. This means that any claim would be decided by a judge, not a jury.
• You and Sender also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to seek to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.
• If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. These dispute resolution provisions shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to engage with the Platform.
• Sender’s third-party service providers are a third-party beneficiary of these Terms & Conditions, including with respect to the dispute resolution procedures set forth above.
• These Terms & Conditions and any dispute arising out of or relating to the Platform, the services provided by Sender, or these Terms & Conditions shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

• You represent warrant and represent to Sender that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms & Conditions 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. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of these Terms & Conditions is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that these Terms & Conditions will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Platform shall be subject to these Terms & Conditions unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change these Terms & Conditions from time to time. Any updates to these Terms & Conditions shall be communicated to you.

By continuing to participate in the Platform after any such changes, you accept these Terms & Conditions, as modified.
