IMA Group SMS Messaging Terms and Conditions

The IMA Group and its affiliates (“IMA”) provides this policy to explain how we use SMS text messaging. Please read these SMS Text Messaging Terms & Conditions (“SMS Terms”) carefully. By opting-in, you expressly consent to receive and authorize IMA (and its service providers) to send you recurring automated text messages regarding your upcoming interactions with IMA or potential participation in future studies (e.g. appointment reminders, appointment confirmations) at the mobile number you text us from or used when signing up.  Your consent is not a condition of participating in any IMA services. You will receive a reply text message to confirm your signup.  Your opt-in signifies your agreement to these terms.

This is a standard rate SMS program and message frequency will vary by user. We reserve the right to alter the frequency of messages sent at any time.  To participate, you must have a text messaging enabled mobile device with a text messaging plan. Not all mobile devices may be supported and text messaging may not be available in all areas. We and our service providers and the supported mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

You may opt out of these communications at any time by following the procedure established by the text message. For example, replying “STOP” to any message you received. After this, you will no longer receive messages from that particular short code. If you want to join again, you can sign up as you did the first time and IMA will start sending messages to you again.

You can receive assistance at any time by replying “HELP” to any message you receive or calling the IMA’s Patient Outreach Center at (888) 852-7656.

Data obtained from you in connection with this text messaging service may include your mobile phone number, your wireless provider’s name, the date, time, and content of your messages and other information you provide to IMA as part of this service. IMA may use this information to contact you and provide services you request from IMA. If you have questions regarding our privacy practices, please read our Privacy Policy at https://imaresearch.com/privacy-statement/.

Messaging and data rates may apply for any messages sent to you from us and to us from you. The maximum number of messages per month you receive will vary based on the service you opt into. If you have questions about your text or data plan, it is best to contact your wireless provider.

You agree to indemnify IMA in full for all claims, expenses, and damages related to or caused in whole or in part by your failure to complete the opt-out process or notify us if you change, transfer, or intend to stop using your telephone number including, but not limited to, all claims, expenses, and damages related to or arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.

IMA may revise, modify, or amend these SMS Terms at any time. Any such revision, modification, or amendment shall take effect when it is posted to the IMA website. You agree to review these SMS Terms periodically to ensure that you are aware of any changes. Your continued consent to receive IMA text messages will indicate your acceptance of those changes.

By opting in, you accept to be bound by these SMS Terms. These SMS Terms do not supersede the terms contained in the Legal Notice at Amerilife.com/terms. In the event of any conflict between the SMS Terms and the Legal Notice, such conflict shall be determined and resolved in favor of the terms, conditions, and notices in the Legal Notice, which is controlling over the SMS Terms, to the extent permitted by law.
