EthicalResearch Compass SMS Program Terms of Service

The EthicalResearch Compass SMS Program is a clinical research ethics education program. It sends two kinds of messages: account notifications about your subscription, and recurring marketing messages about new EthicalResearch Compass resources and guides. EthicalResearch Compass is not a research organization or healthcare provider, and texts are not health advice.

• Account notifications: messages related to your subscription, such as guide delivery, content access updates, opt-in confirmations, opt-out confirmations, and replies to HELP requests. Frequency: varies based on account activity.
• Marketing messages: recurring marketing messages, including promotional offers, announcements about new EthicalResearch Compass resources and services, featured website resources, special campaigns, and updates about newly available guides and tools. Frequency: generally up to 4 msgs/month.

You opt in by checking the box for a specific message type on our contact page or updates page, entering a valid phone number, and submitting the form. Each program has its own unchecked box. Consent is not a condition of purchase, access, or use of the website.

After you opt in, your first text identifies EthicalResearch Compass, confirms the program you chose, and states frequency and how to get help or cancel. Examples:

EthicalResearch Compass: You're subscribed to account notifications for your subscription. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

EthicalResearch Compass: You're subscribed to marketing texts about new guides and resources. Up to 4 msgs/month. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.

Frequency is listed for each category above. Message frequency varies unless otherwise stated.

Msg & data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Reply STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, QUIT at any time to cancel. You will receive one confirmation and no further messages unless you opt in again:

EthicalResearch Compass: You have been unsubscribed and will receive no further messages from this program. Reply START to opt in again.
