4. A2P Brand and Messaging Terms (Carrier Compliance)

This section governs the Industry Intelligence SMS program. The program lets registered Industry Intelligence clients with an active subscription text questions about market intelligence topics (regulations, competitor activity, patents, and suppliers) to our number and receive research-based answers by SMS. Messages are sent only in response to your questions. Message frequency varies based on how often you use the service.

• User Opt-In: You opt in by checking the SMS consent box on our enrollment form at https://www.industryintel.com/legal/sms-optin and submitting the form. SMS enrollment is optional and is not a condition of purchasing or using your Industry Intelligence subscription.
• Message Frequency: The number of messages you receive may vary based on your interaction with the Service and your subscription preferences.
• Opt-Out (STOP): Text STOP to cancel at any time. Just text "STOP" to the short code or long code from which you receive messages. After you send STOP, we will send one message confirming you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further messages. Text START to resubscribe.
• Support (HELP): Text HELP for help or email clientcare@industryintel.com. If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program you can reply with the keyword "HELP" for more assistance.
