(hereafter AMP) and access to all other AMP services (including without text marketing services, email and social media campaign management services whether to send information or offers or to join a commercial text marketing list to receive such information or offers) provided or facilitated by AMP that rely for functionality on a website owned or controlled by AMP (the “Services”) are subject to these terms and conditions of use (the “Terms”) as well as our Privacy Policy.
The terms “American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C.” or “AMP” or “us” or “our” or “Publisher” or “we” refer to the owner of the website and provider of the Services, a limited liability company whose registered office is 915 East Lincoln Hwy., DeKalb, IL 60115.

General Terms of Use for Text and Message Delivery Services
Messages sent by companies utilizing our messaging platform are intended for recipients over the age of 13 and are delivered via US short code 36000. While most individuals who opt in to join a merchant’s commercial text marketing list will receive significantly fewer messages, depending on the list you opt-in to, you may receive as many as 30 text messages per month for each keyword list that you opt-in to receive messages from, or even more messages if you explicitly agree to receive more and do not opt-out of the program. Messaging & Data rates may apply. Messages are sent from an automated system. Your consent to receive messages is not required for the purchase of goods or services. This service is available for subscribers on AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile®, MetroPCS, Sprint and Nextel, Virgin Mobile USA, U.S. Cellular®, Boost, and others in the US. All carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Many international carriers are also supported. For help, text HELP to 36000, whichever one applies, email us at textsupport@www.ampcorporate.com, or call 1-800-807-6870, option 5. You may stop mobile subscription at any time by sending a text message STOP to short code 36000. Your phone must have text messaging capability.
Your use of the Service is expressly conditioned upon your assent to these Terms and your full acceptance and consent to be bound by these Terms. Please read these Terms carefully. As noted below, American Marketing & Publishing LLC reserves the right to modify and update these Terms, from time to time, by posting any such new or modified Terms to the relevant Website or Websites.
The Text Service
For entities such as businesses, units of government, civic groups, or other organizations, the Services include a web-based text marketing platform for creating and sending text messages to a group of Subscribers (the consumers or other members of the public who join your opt in list) by capturing and storing mobile numbers that have opted into your list via the use of your keyword, providing automatic removal of mobile numbers that have asked to be removed from your list, and access to an SMS gateway for distribution of messages to the appropriate mobile operators. We provide MT (Mobile Terminated) outbound messages through various downstream providers and routes, and the level of service and support for some special features varies according to the specific route.
For individuals accessing our text marketing platform, the Services allow them to become Subscribers by opting to join the text marketing distribution list of third parties such as businesses they patronize or organizations or entities they want to be in regular communication with. The Services allow them to opt-out of a particular text distribution list by sending STOP to 36000.
Terms of Use Specific to Consumers or Subscribers
AMP provides Third Parties (most typically business entities but also civic organizations, units of government, or individuals) with access to AMP’s commercial text marketing platform (“Platform”). As a consumer, you may opt to subscribe to the regular or periodic text messages sent by such entities by sending a text message in the form of that merchant’s opt-in code or keyword from your mobile phone or mobile device to 36000 and assenting in writing or by replying yes via text or e-mail. The Third Party that you have opted-in to receive messages from will then be able to use our Services to send you their messages at the times and with the frequency that they choose. The Platform also facilitates efficient communication from Third Parties to consumers via email and social messaging.
AMP is not responsible for the content of messages sent by Third Parties, and does not verify, validate, endorse offers, or guarantee that an offer sent by such an entity will be honored by them. You agree that AMP expressly disclaims any warranty related to the accuracy of information sent to you by Third Parties or to the validity of any offers you receive from a Third Party or Third Parties.
Third Parties are solely responsible for redeeming offers sent via the Services and for information contained in their messages. The Third Party is the issuer of the message and is fully responsible for all goods and services it offers or provides to you and for any and all injuries, illnesses, damages, claims, liabilities and costs (“Liabilities”) it may cause you to suffer, directly or indirectly, in full or in part, whether related to the use or redemption of an offer or not.
As a condition of receiving text messages via the Services, you waive and release AMP and its subsidiaries, suppliers, vendors, affiliates, partners, officers, directors, employees and agents from any Liabilities arising from or related to your use of the Services, AMP’s acts or omissions in providing the Services, or for any act or omission of a Third Party in connection with your use or reliance on a text message received from a Third Party or the information or services or goods it provides in connection with it.
Your sole and exclusive right and remedy in case of dissatisfaction with the Services or any other grievance shall be your termination and discontinuation of access to, or use of the site, or to opt out (in the case of text, by texting STOP in reply to any unwanted text message) unsubscribe (in the case of email, by replying UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line) or otherwise canceling the Services by contacting the Third Party that has been sending you messages. If you provide us notice in writing at our mailing address of 915 East Lincoln Hwy, DeKalb, IL 60115 or via abuse@www.ampcorporate.com we will take commercially reasonable steps to prohibit the Third Party from sending messages to you that are facilitated by the Platform.
You agree to contact us by phone at (815) 756-2840 or via e-mail at abuse@www.ampcorporate.com immediately in the event that you receive offensive messages or materials from a Third Party or if you believe that you are receiving messages from short code 36000 that you have not subscribed to via opt-in or that you believe are not intended to be sent to you, or in the event that you become aware that a Third Party is accessing the Service or utilizing our text marketing platform in violation of our Terms of Use.
Terms of Use Specific to Commercial Users
If you are a representative of a business that has purchased advertising, text marketing or other services from American Marketing & Publishing, L.L.C. and entered into a separate agreement in connection with such a transaction, then the General Terms & Conditions of that agreement will prevail in the event of a conflict between the terms of this agreement and that agreement. AMP only provides that the text messages you send through the Service are processed correctly and delivered to the applicable mobile telecommunications network. AMP is not responsible for the final delivery of the message, as this is the responsibility of the mobile operators.
AMP sends and receives text messages via mobile network operators, and the timing of the broadcast of those messages is subject to the constraints imposed by those operators. While AMP shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver your messages as quickly as possible, we cannot guarantee, nor commit to, a specific maximum delivery time. Actual delivery times will depend on the specific policies and constraints of the various entities involved in the transmission of your messages across the mobile network. AMP is not liable for any loss incurred by the failure of a message to be delivered in a timely manner, or to be delivered at all, and you acknowledge that damages for financial or other loss resulting from delivery failure cannot be claimed from AMP for any such failure. You further agree that message contents are considered to have zero value.
Usage Policy
Your text list will contain only mobile numbers from individuals that have opted into your text marketing program. You may request AMP to add additional mobile numbers in your possession to your list, but such request must be accompanied with detailed documentation clearly demonstrating that the individuals owning these numbers assented in writing to receiving text messages from you. Furthermore, this documentation must comply with the rules and regulations published by the MMA and other accepted industry guidelines for opting into a text marketing program and must be in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and others. Such requests, at the sole discretion of AMP, may be denied. You acknowledge and agree that, should any individual directly contact you to request they be removed from your list, that you shall instruct them to text the reply STOP or STOP and your keyword on short code 36000 and remove their number through the Service, and that they will receive no further messages from you.
You agree to abide by all the applicable local, state and national laws and regulations regarding text marketing and are solely responsible for all acts or omissions that occur through your use of the Service, including without limitation the content of your messages transmitted through the Service. Without limiting the foregoing, you promise to acquaint yourself with the rules and regulations governing text messaging by reviewing the following laws and visiting the following websites:
You promise to utilize the Service only in conformance with these standards and you agree, to the fullest extent permissible by law, that with respect to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, 47 U.S.C § 227, and its Regulations, 47 C.F.R. § 64.1200, (TCPA) that you, and not AMP, initiates or causes to be initiated any “telephone call” that results in the delivery of a mobile message to any cellular telephone service, when such mobile phone number was used to send a message on your behalf. You furthermore agree, to the fullest extent permissible by law, that with respect to the Controlling the Assault of Non-solicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003 (CAN-SPAM) and any regulations promulgated thereunder, that you, and not AMP, is the “sender” of any electronic mail delivered to a message recipient when such message was sent on your behalf. In addition:
- You agree to use the email messaging functionality of the Platform only in compliance with the CAN-SPAM Act and all other applicable federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including those relating to advertising, sales or promotional practices, redemptions, refunds and provision of your products or services, laws that govern false, unfair and deceptive practices, coupons, alcohol or tobacco, health or safety, laws that govern lotteries, sweepstakes, contests and promotions, and laws that govern the collection of donations and charitable giving. You promise to enable all message recipients to withdraw consent, unsubscribe, or opt-out of receiving messages and to immediately programmatically or manually remove such message recipients from the Platform and Advertiser’s lists after receipt of a request to withdraw consent, unsubscribe, or opt-out.
- You agree to utilize the Platform only for lawful purposes, and to refrain from sending messages that are not appropriate for children under 18 years of age. You agree that you shall not use the Platform to send message content that is libelous, scandalous, threatening, harmful, or offensive, or that otherwise violates or infringes the rights of any third party.
When you subscribe to the Service, you will be assigned a unique username and password that will be used to access the Service. It is your responsibility to maintain the confidentiality of those login credentials, and you agree to notify AMP if you suspect that there has been unauthorized access to your account, since any messaging activity that is deemed abusive, fraudulent or illegal may be grounds for the termination of your user account and the recovery of damages at the sole discretion of AMP.
You accept that the Service is provided for professional use only, and you agree that your use of the Service shall not include:
- Misrepresenting your identity in your text messages;
- Sending any message content that is unlawful, racist, harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, demeaning, immoral, harmful, vulgar, obscene, pornographic or otherwise objectionable;
- Sending any message content that may infringe upon the intellectual property rights of third parties;
- Attempting to gain unauthorized access to other accounts using the Service, or networks connected to the Service, using password hacking or any other method; or
- Engaging in any other activity that AMP believes could subject it to criminal liability or civil penalty;
You agree that AMP is, under no circumstances, responsible for the contents and/or accuracy of your messages, or your failure to properly secure the explicit written permission to send messages to consumers, and AMP will only transmit your messages on a basis of good faith that you use the Service in accordance with these Terms. AMP is not responsible for the views and opinions contained in any of your messages or broadcasts. AMP will not be liable for any misuse of the Service by you, or by your reliance on the Service.
We may have copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, or other intellectual property rights covering subject matter in the Service, including the web pages that are part of the Service. All copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and other intellectual proprietary rights contained as part of the Service are the sole property of AMP or its licensors, each of whom reserves all rights with regard to such materials. You acknowledge and agree that you may not modify, alter, create any derivative works, reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the Service.
AMP may require that you periodically send new Subscribers and the existing Subscribers who have opted in to your text marketing list clear opt-out instructions in a manner compliant with and conforming to the rules and guidelines of the MMA. Any individual choosing to opt out of your messages by replying STOP to a received message will automatically be removed from your list. You may not condition consumer consent to receive messages from you on the sale of goods or services. If any individual contacts you directly to request that they be removed from your text marketing list, it is your sole responsibility to honor those requests and to remove them from your list, using the Service.
Data Compilation, Sharing, Dissemination & Privacy
In order to ensure your compliance with these Terms, to ensure that AMP complies with local, state, and national laws and industry best practice guidelines, and to develop and share text marketing subject matter expertise, best practices, and success stories among and with similarly situated businesses, we will regularly monitor the messages that you send. We believe that the broad-based collection and dissemination of specific messages and their effectiveness as reported by you or determined by us stands to make the commercial investment in our text marketing platform a richer one via sharing, learning, contribution, and collaboration. Any such compilation, analysis, sharing or dissemination shall be done in the sole discretion of AMP. Nonetheless, we recognize that some of our customers may be uncomfortable with the sharing of their message content, feedback, list size or results and in such a case we ask that the authorized Third Party representative notify us consistently with the notice provisions of the contract for text marketing services and we will take all reasonable steps to keep such data and information private and confidential.
Payments
Your payment for services provided by AMP shall be deemed completed when you are charged the full contract amount by AMP. If for any reason AMP is not able to collect payment from the credit card, debit card, or via ACH from the banking institution and account on file for your account, an attempt will be made to contact you, during which time the account will be suspended. If Publisher is not able to elicit payment from you, your access to the Service will terminate effective immediately.
Marketing Assistance, Materials and Guidance
In connection with the purchase of access to our Services, AMP may provide its customers with marketing materials or collateral to increase awareness of your text marketing program. All such materials, their content, accuracy, and their use, posting, and distribution are your sole responsibility, and you explicitly agree to any and all liability relating to them.
AMP may provide technical support or may assist you with the actual creation and sending of messages on your behalf, or may provide message suggestions or marketing ideas for your use of the text marketing service. You agree to indemnify and hold AMP and its agents harmless, free and clear of any and all liabilities that may arise in connection with AMP’s work in this regard, including without limitation the creation or sending of text messages in error, or that contain an error, or the rendering advice or giving marketing suggestions that prove to be ineffective or disadvantageous.

A party will not be considered to have breached its obligations under the Agreement to the extent Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by any governmental authority, provided that, to the extent legally practicable, the receiving party advises the disclosing party prior to making such disclosure in order that the disclosing party may object to such disclosure, take action to ensure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, or take such other action as it considers appropriate to protect the Confidential Information.
7. Representations and Warranties; Disclaimer.

12. Amendment and Waiver.
These Terms and Conditions (this Agreement) may be modified in a manner not inconsistent with the Merchant Agreement from time to time in the sole discretion of AMP. Your continuing use of the AMP Programs 24 hours after the modified terms and conditions have been posted to the Website constitutes your acceptance of the modified and most current terms and conditions. The failure of either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under the Agreement will not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches and the waiver of any breach will not act as a waiver of subsequent breaches.
13. Assignment.
You may not, without the prior written consent of AMP, assign the Agreement, in whole or in part, either voluntarily or by operation of law, and any attempt to do so will be a material default of the Agreement and will be void.
