Terms and Conditions for SMS Text Messaging
Please read these terms and conditions carefully. By Opting-In to sign up for one or more text messaging
notifications, you expressly consent to receive text messages from Capital Area NCWorks Center system
(including NextGen Centers) (“Center”) and others texting on its behalf, including text messages made
with an autodialer, at the telephone number(s) that you provide. You may opt-out of these
communications at any time. Consenting to receive text messages is not required to receive Center
services.
You also accept and agree to be bound by these SMS Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.
Program Description
Center and its service providers may use an automatic telephone dialing system (“autodialer”) to deliver
text messages to you. Center text messages are intended to provide you with information about upcoming
events, job opportunities, workshops and general information that may be of interest to you during your
job search. Text messages may also be used for appointment reminders, and other activities that you may
have registered for.
Message Frequency
The number of Center text messages that you receive will vary depending on how many of Center’s text
messaging programs for which you sign up to receive messages. You will receive a maximum of five (5)
messages per month for Center Activities/events, job notices, etc. per Center text messaging
program. However, you may receive additional messages regarding appointments, or one-on-one
correspondence with Center staff regarding your individual job search.
Cost
Message and data rates may apply to each text message sent or received in connection with Center text
messages, as provided in your mobile telephone service rate plan (please contact your mobile telephone
carrier for pricing plans), in addition to any applicable roaming charges. Center does not impose a
separate fee for sending Center text messages.
Supported Carriers
Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Supported carriers may change from time to
time, but currently include AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon Wireless, Sprint, Nextel, Boost, Alltel, US
Cellular, US Mobile, Cricket, Metro PCS, and Cellular One, among others.

written consent of a parent or guardian, which will be permitted for children 13-17 as necessary.
How to Opt-In
To opt-in to receive text messages from a Center text messaging program(s), please follow the
instructions provided by the specific information provided to you when registering for an event, making
an appointment, or any other Center tool where you are asked to opt-in to receiving SMS messages. The
Opt-In serves as your electronic permission for a Career Center staff to send you text messages. When
you Opt-In to receive text messages, this is your acknowledgment that the electronic signature and opt-in
has the same legal weight of a written signature. This electronic permission is kept/stored in the text
messaging platform used by Capital Area Workforce Development Board.
How to Opt-Out

number provided for the text messaging program from which you no longer wish to receive
message (i.e., the number from which its text messages are being sent). You will then receive
confirmation of your opt-out of that text messaging program. This will only opt you out of the specific
text messaging program associated with that number. You will remain opted in to other Center text
messaging programs as applicable.

You represent that you are the account holder for the mobile telephone number(s) that you provide. You
are responsible for notifying Center immediately if you change your mobile telephone number. You may

or in part by your failure to notify Center if you change your telephone number, including, but not limited
to, all claims, expenses, and damages related to or arising under the Telephone Consumer Protection Act.
