Shop Local First SMS Terms of Service
Last updated: September 11, 2026
Program description
Shop Local First sends recurring marketing SMS messages about local deals, special offers, giveaways, and event promotions to people who have expressly opted in. This SMS program does not send transactional, account, order, delivery, or other informational messages.
How to enroll
You enroll only by voluntarily submitting your own mobile number through the Shop Local First newsletter and optional SMS signup form and actively selecting its separate, unchecked SMS-consent checkbox. The mobile number and SMS choice are optional; signing up for email does not enroll you in text messages. Consent is not a condition of purchase. You must be authorized to agree to receive messages at that number. We do not use purchased, rented, shared, paper, verbal-only, or partner-provided SMS consent lists for this program.
Message frequency and charges
Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Check your mobile plan for details. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
How to stop messages
Reply STOP to stop program messages. You will not receive further program messages unless you later opt in again.

Privacy
Your information is handled as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not share, sell, or provide your mobile phone number or messaging consent data to third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
