CARTTEXT TERMS OF USE

The Effective Date of these Terms of Use is July 20, 2020.

The CartText mobile application and platform and the CartText.com website (collectively identified herein as the “App”) are owned and operated by Cart Group LLC doing business as CartText (“CartText” or “we”). Through the App, CartText provides certain customer management and marketing software and services that assist registered users in engaging with customers and completing potential sales through a registered user’s online store or website, such as a Shopify store or similar authorized service provider store (collectively, the “Services”). These Services include, without limitation, automated retrieval of selected customer information from a registered user’s store and sending marketing communications to selected customers by SMS and MMS messages.

These terms and conditions of use (the “Terms of Use”) constitute a binding legal agreement between CartText and you (“User” or “you”), and together with any ordering document for a subscription to the Services, include the terms which govern your use of the App and Services (the “Agreement”). We also provide a Privacy Policy that describes the personal information we collect and how we use it. CartText reserves the right to modify the terms of these Terms of Use at any time in its sole discretion, so please review these terms regularly. If CartText makes any material changes to these Terms of Use, CartText will notify you by means of a notice on the App and/or via an email communication.

PLEASE READ THE AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AS IT CONTAINS IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, REMEDIES AND OBLIGATIONS.
