SMS Mobile Privacy Policy
The Functional Self mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by Functional Self. Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to this privacy policy (“Mobile Policy”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.

We may send text messages through an automatic telephone dialling system or other technology. Your consent to receive autodialled marketing text messages is optional and not required as a condition of purchasing any goods or services. If you opt in, the Service provides updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.), promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders) from Functional Self via text messages through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided. Message frequency varies.

At Functional Self, we understand the importance of respecting your time and privacy. That's why we have implemented a policy to limit the hours during which we send SMS marketing messages. We promise not to send you any SMS marketing messages after 8:00 p.m. or before 9:00 a.m. This means that you can rest easy, knowing that you won't receive marketing messages in the middle of the night or during your morning routine. We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible customer experience and this policy is just one of the many ways we aim to achieve that goal.

Functional Self and your wireless carrier are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any information sent through the Service, any errors in such information, and/or any action you may or may not take in reliance on the information or Service.
