The Public Justice Center (“we”, “us”, “our”, “PJC”) is offering a text messaging program (“Program”) subject to these Terms and Conditions (“Terms”). The following Terms describe the Program and our collection and use of your personal information, which is also subject to our Privacy Policy. By enrolling, signing up, or otherwise agreeing to participate in the Program, you accept and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.
If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to these Terms, you can reply STOP to any text message from us, email news@publicjustice.org, or call the PJC at 410-625-9409 to opt out of the program.
The PJC will send up to four text messages per month, including but not limited to, text messages asking you to contact your elected officials in support of or opposition to a bill, providing status updates on legislative or litigation victories, inviting you to events, and requesting donations to support our legal advocacy. Message frequency will vary. Our messages will not be sent to you by an automatic telephone dialing system; however, by opting in, you agree to receive autodialed text messages.
To receive text messages from the PJC, complete our secure sign-up form.
By opting in, you agree to receive recurring text messages from the PJC at the mobile number associated with your opt-in, even if such number is registered on any state or federal “Do Not Call” list. You agree that any mobile phone number you provide to us is a valid mobile number of which you are the owner and authorized user. If you change your mobile phone number or are no longer the owner or authorized user of the mobile phone number, you agree to promptly notify us at news@publicjustice.org or by calling the PJC at 410-625-9409.
If you wish to stop receiving text messages from the Public Justice Center, text STOP in response to any text from us. You may also send an email indicating your preferences regarding text communications to news@publicjustice.org or call the PJC at (410) 625-9409. After opting out, you will receive a confirmation message, and no further messages will be sent unless you opt back in.
For help, text HELP in response to any text from us. You may also send questions regarding text communications to news@publicjustice.org or call the PJC at (410) 625-9409.
Individuals with a valid U.S. mobile number of which you are the owner and authorized user are eligible to sign up for this Program.
We do not charge for text messages sent through this Program, but you are responsible for any message and data rates imposed by your mobile provider, as standard data and message rates may apply for SMS and MMS alerts. Please check with your mobile carrier for details on your plan and applicable charges.
The Program may not be available in all areas, at all times, or on all mobile providers. Alerts sent via SMS 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 operator may interfere with message delivery, including the customer’s equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. Wireless operators do not guarantee message delivery and will not be held liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
You agree that neither the PJC nor our service providers will be liable for failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of any text message; the security of messages; or information sent through the Program.
The PJC is committed to protecting your privacy. You can view our privacy policy at https://www.publicjustice.org/en/privacy-policy/
Data obtained from you in connection with this text messaging program may include your mobile phone number, your carrier’s name and the date, time and content of your messages. We will use the information you provide to transmit text messages; respond to you by text, if necessary; and contact you by phone about donations you make to the PJC, if applicable, or to respond to your questions about our text messaging program.
We reserve the right at all times to disclose any information as necessary to satisfy any law, regulation or governmental request, to avoid liability, or to protect Our rights or property.
To comply with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), you must provide express prior consent to receive text messages from the PJC. Consent must be specific to our organization, and consent to receive text messages is not a condition of any purchase or donation.
We reserve the right to change these Terms or to modify the Program from time to time. Any updates to these Terms or the Program shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review these Terms from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept these Terms, as modified.
If any provision hereof is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision is deemed severable from the other provisions hereof and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
These Terms shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Maryland without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. You agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Maryland or, if appropriate, the United States District Court for the District of Maryland for resolution of any dispute, action or proceeding arising in connection with these Terms or your use or non-use of the Site, and you further irrevocably waive any right you may have to trial by jury in any such dispute, action or proceeding.
