These Terms of Use (“Terms”) constitute a legally binding agreement between you and Groupie Connect LLC d/b/a Groupie (“Groupie,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). These Terms govern your access to and use of Groupie’s websites, platform, applications, and services (collectively, the “Services”).
By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, or clicking an acceptance button, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and all incorporated policies, including the Privacy Policy and Messaging Compliance & Anti-Spam Policy.
1. Overview & Acceptance
By using the Services, you enter into a binding agreement with Groupie. If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not access or use the Services.
Groupie reserves the right to update these Terms at any time. Changes are effective upon posting. Continued use of the Services constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
2. Definitions & Parties
“Groupie,” “we,” “us,” “our” means Groupie Connect LLC d/b/a Groupie.
“Customer,” “you,” “your” means the individual or entity using the Services.
“End Users” or “Contacts” means individuals whose information is uploaded or messaged by Customers.
“Services” means Groupie’s messaging platform, software, tools, and related services.
If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
3. Description of Services
Groupie provides a 100% opt-in application-to-person (“A2P”) SMS and MMS messaging platform that enables Customers to manage contacts, send messages, and track engagement.
Groupie acts solely as a technology and infrastructure provider and does not originate messages on behalf of Customers.
4. Service Availability & Message Delivery
Groupie does not guarantee uninterrupted service or message delivery. Message delivery depends on third-party carriers, aggregators, network conditions, recipient devices, and regulatory filtering.
Messages may be delayed, blocked, filtered, or fail for reasons beyond Groupie’s control. Credits are deducted upon message submission, regardless of delivery status.
Mobile carriers and messaging providers may filter, block, delay, or reject messages based on their own policies, content guidelines, and regulatory obligations. Groupie has no control over carrier filtering decisions and is not responsible for message delivery failures caused by carrier enforcement.
5. Privacy & Data Handling
Your use of the Services is governed by our Privacy Policy. Groupie processes Customer and End User data solely to provide and operate the Services.
Customers remain the data controllers for End User contact data and message content.
6. Security Responsibilities
Groupie employs commercially reasonable security measures to protect the Services. However, no system is completely secure.
You are responsible for:
Maintaining the confidentiality of account credentials
All activity conducted under your account
Promptly notifying Groupie of any unauthorized access
Unauthorized access, abuse, or interference with the Services is strictly prohibited.
7. Accounts
To use the Services, you must provide accurate, current, and complete account information.
Groupie may suspend or terminate accounts engaged in fraud, abuse, legal violations, or breaches of these Terms.
8. Messaging Compliance & Customer Obligations
You agree to comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including but not limited to:
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
CAN-SPAM Act
CTIA Messaging Principles & Best Practices
A2P 10DLC requirements
Carrier and aggregator policies
You represent and warrant that:
You have obtained valid, express consent from all End Users
You honor STOP, HELP, and opt-out requests immediately
You do not send unsolicited or deceptive messages
Your content complies with all messaging rules and laws
- Customers must obtain clear, documented opt-in consent before sending any marketing or promotional messages to End Users. Consent must be obtained through a voluntary action such as submitting a web form, scanning a QR code, sending a keyword, or another compliant opt-in method. Purchased lists, scraped contacts, or third-party data sources are strictly prohibited.
- Customers must immediately honor all opt-out requests including STOP, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, END, or QUIT. Groupie automatically processes standard carrier opt-out commands and blocks further messaging to those numbers.
To protect messaging networks and maintain compliance with carrier policies, Groupie reserves the right to review message traffic patterns, investigate suspected abuse, and suspend accounts that generate excessive complaints, spam reports, or regulatory violations.
Groupie may monitor traffic and enforce compliance to protect the network.
