By providing your mobile number and checking the consent box (or signing digitally), you affirm that you consent to receive marketing, transactional, and service messages related to Ventus Mechanical LLC, including appointment reminders, promotions, and important notices.

Consent must be obtained independently of other agreements and clearly states the purpose of messages.

Carrier Compliance (TCPA / FCC in the U.S.)

Messages are sent only with prior express written consent for marketing messages. Transactional/messages about your account or services may be sent without marketing consent but with clear expectations.

Do not send abusive, harassing, or misleading content. Do not use automated calls where prohibited.

Content Guidelines

Messages will include information about services, reminders, promotions, or support.

Typical message frequency: [e.g., 1–3 per week], with opt-out at any time.

Each marketing message must include an opt-out option in compliance with regulations.

Opt-In / Opt-Out Mechanisms

Opt-in: “Text [Yes] to Continue” or digital form submission confirms consent.

Opt-out: Reply “STOP” to any message to be unsubscribed. Implement a process to honor STOP within hours; confirm unsubscribe via SMS (optional) or email.

You may also offer “HELP” for assistance and provide a support contact.

Use a reputable SMS provider with TCPA/FCC compliance capabilities (opt-in capture, consent logs, opt-out handling, delivery reporting).

Maintain a centralized consent ledger with timestamps, method of opt-in, and recorded preferences.

Provide a clear unsubscribe path in every message and honor it promptly.

Include privacy and contact information in all communications (how to contact you, where data is stored, and how to exercise rights).

Add a dedicated page on your site for SMS communications policies and link to it from the footer and consent forms.

Consider a double-opt-in flow for higher compliance (form submission + follow-up SMS confirmation).

Run regular compliance reviews and staff training on SMS marketing best practices.
