These Terms of Service (these "Terms of Service") set forth the terms and conditions upon which OptimizeRx Corporation ("OptimizeRx") offers you, our third party End-Users (each, an "End-User"), access to OptimizeRx’s proprietary healthcare messaging and promotion service (the "Service").

Except for the licenses and rights expressly granted under these Terms of Service, no licenses or rights are granted by OptimizeRx to End-User hereunder, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All such other licenses and rights are reserved unto OptimizeRx.
1.2. Express Consent.

1.4. Cost. You will not be charged any fee from OptimizeRx or its partners in connection with the Service to receive non-marketing or marketing text messages.

You will receive a confirmation of your opt-out of that text messaging program. Please note that this will only opt you out of the specific text messaging program associated with the Service and you will remain opted in to other OptimizeRx text messaging programs for which you have enrolled.

1.8. Eligibility. To receive text messages for the Service, you must be a resident of the US and 18 years of age or older. OptimizeRx reserves the right to require you to prove that you are at least 18 years of age.
1.9. Access or Delivery to Mobile Network is Not Guaranteed. Delivery of information and content to a mobile device is not guaranteed and may fail to due to a variety of circumstances or conditions. Alerts sent via text message may not be delivered if the mobile phone is not in range of a transmission site, or if sufficient network capacity is not available at a particular time. Even within a coverage area, factors beyond the control of the wireless carrier may interfere with message delivery, including the customer's equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. OptimizeRx will not be held responsible for any delays in the receipt of any text messages as delivery is subject to effective transmission from your mobile service provider or network operator. You understand and acknowledge that network services, including but not limited to mobile network services, are outside of OptimizeRx’s control, and OptimizeRx is not responsible or liable for issues arising from them.
1.10. Privacy. OptimizeRx understands and values the importance of your privacy. Please be aware that the data obtained from you in connection with this SMS message service may, among other things, include your cell phone number, carrier name, and message date, time and content. We may use this information to contact you and to provide the services you request from us. You also understand that a significant portion of the Service is conducted via text messaging. These text messages may contain health information. Standard text messaging is not encrypted, and a third party could read these messages. For more information on how we collect and use your information, please read our full Privacy Statement.
