AntoAssistant Terms and Conditions

The program

The name of this program is AntoAssistant. It is operated by AntoAssistant (“we”, “us”, or “our”).

AntoAssistant is a personal assistant that sends you reminders, calendar summaries, and job status alerts. Notifications are delivered by email to all account holders. Subscribers who provide a mobile number and opt in receive those notifications as text messages instead, may text the number to ask questions and receive replies, and may schedule recurring check-in messages at times they choose. All recurring messages are configured by the subscriber and can be changed or turned off at any time. We do not send marketing or promotional messages.

Those who opt in to text messages can send questions and receive replies, and we also send the notifications they have specifically asked us to send. It is not an emergency service, a medical or legal advice service, or a substitute for professional judgement.

Acceptance of these terms

You accept these terms by submitting the account creation form. Your consent to receive text messages is given separately, by checking the SMS consent box, and governs only the messages we send you. Consent to receive text messages is not required to create an account, is not a condition of any purchase, and is not a condition of receiving any other product or service from us.

Eligibility and age

• You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to subscribe to AntoAssistant.
• You must be the account holder for the mobile number you submit, or you must have the account holder’s express permission to enrol that number.
• You must be able to receive text messages on the number you submit. The program does not support landlines or numbers that cannot receive SMS.
• You may not enrol a number on behalf of someone else without their knowledge and consent. Doing so is a breach of these terms and of applicable law.

Enrolment and consent

You create an AntoAssistant account by entering your email address on our subscribe page and agreeing to these terms. Providing a mobile number and checking the SMS consent box are both optional; you can submit the form without them and the account is created either way. The SMS consent box is never pre-checked. Checking that box is your express written consent to receive recurring automated text messages from AntoAssistant at the number you provided. SMS consent is not bundled with acceptance of these terms or the privacy policy, and it is not required to create an account.

When we receive an SMS opt-in, we store the exact wording of the consent disclosure you agreed to, along with the date, time, and originating IP address, so that both you and we have an accurate record of what was agreed. We then send you a single confirmation message that repeats the key terms of the program.

Consent is per number. If you change your mobile number, you will need to opt in again with the new number.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies.

Because AntoAssistant is conversational and responds to what you ask for, the number of messages you receive depends on how you use the program. A quiet week may produce no messages at all; a week in which you set several reminders and ask several questions may produce many. We do not send messages you have not asked for, other than occasional operational notices about the program itself.

Cost of messages

Message and data rates may apply.

We do not charge a fee for the AntoAssistant program itself. However, your mobile carrier may charge you for each message sent or received, or count messages against your plan allowance, depending on your rate plan. Check with your carrier if you are unsure what your plan includes. You are solely responsible for all charges your carrier applies to your account.

Getting help (HELP)

Replying HELP returns a short message identifying the program and telling you how to reach support and how to cancel. Support requests sent to anthony20151128@gmail.com are answered by AntoAssistant, the operator of this program. We aim to respond within a few business days.

Cancelling (STOP)

You may cancel at any time and for any reason. We also honour the standard carrier opt-out keywords, including STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, and QUIT. If you prefer, you can email anthony20151128@gmail.com and ask us to remove your number.

If you unsubscribe and later want to return, you can subscribe again on our subscribe page. Opting back in requires a fresh consent, exactly like your first enrolment.

Supported carriers and delivery

AntoAssistant is supported on most major mobile carriers in the United States, including AT&T, Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, US Cellular, Boost Mobile, Cricket Wireless, Metro by T-Mobile, and many regional carriers and mobile virtual network operators.

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery depends on your carrier’s network, your device, and factors outside our control. Carriers are not required to support the program, and carrier support may change without notice to us or to you.

We cannot guarantee that every message will be delivered, delivered on time, or delivered in the order it was sent. Do not rely on AntoAssistant for anything time-critical or safety-critical.

Devices and compatibility

You need a mobile device capable of sending and receiving SMS text messages. Some older devices, some prepaid plans, and some international numbers may not be able to exchange messages with the program. Long replies may be split by your carrier into multiple message segments, each of which may be billed separately by your carrier.

Availability and changes to the program

AntoAssistant is provided on an as-available basis. We may add, change, suspend, or discontinue features of the program at any time, and we may pause the program for maintenance or for reasons outside our control, including carrier outages, upstream provider outages, and network failures.

If we decide to discontinue the program entirely, we will make a reasonable effort to notify subscribers by text message before doing so.

Acceptable use

When you use AntoAssistant, you agree not to:

• send unlawful, threatening, harassing, defamatory, obscene, or hateful content;
• use the program to send or solicit spam, chain messages, or unsolicited commercial messages;
• attempt to interfere with, overload, probe, or reverse engineer the program or the systems that support it;
• use automated systems to send high volumes of messages to the program, or otherwise abuse the service;
• impersonate another person, or submit a mobile number you are not authorised to enrol;
• use the program to store or transmit sensitive information such as payment card numbers, government identification numbers, or health records; or
• use the program for any purpose that violates applicable law or the acceptable use policies of a mobile carrier.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the program if we reasonably believe you have breached this section.

Your responsibilities

Keeping your number current

You are responsible for keeping the mobile number on your subscription up to date. If you give up, transfer, port, or change your mobile number, you must reply STOP or email anthony20151128@gmail.com to remove the old number before it is reassigned to someone else. Otherwise the next person to hold that number may receive messages intended for you.

Keeping your device secure

Messages sent to your number can be read by anyone with access to your device. If you lose your device, or someone else has access to your messages, unsubscribe and re-enrol once the situation is resolved.

Accuracy of what you tell us

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you send to the program, including the times, dates, and details you ask us to remember on your behalf.

Accuracy of replies

AntoAssistant produces replies automatically. Automated replies can be incomplete, out of date, or simply wrong. Nothing the program sends you is professional advice of any kind, including medical, legal, financial, or tax advice, and you should verify anything important before you act on it.

Reminders, digests, and job status alerts are conveniences, not guarantees. Keep your own record of anything you cannot afford to miss.

Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what information we collect when you subscribe and use the program, how we use it, how long we keep it, and how to ask us to delete it. The Privacy Policy forms part of your agreement with us.

In particular, mobile information collected through this program is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.

Intellectual property

The AntoAssistant name, the content of the messages we send, and this website belong to AntoAssistant or its licensors. You may use them for your own personal purposes in connection with the program, but you may not copy, resell, or redistribute them commercially without our permission.

Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, AntoAssistant is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory. We specifically disclaim any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, and uninterrupted or error-free operation.

We do not warrant that messages will be delivered, that reminders will fire at the exact moment requested, or that the information in any reply is correct or complete.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither AntoAssistant nor its contractors or suppliers will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, or opportunity, arising out of or relating to the program. This applies whether the claim is based on contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, or any other theory, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the program is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for the program in the twelve months before the claim (which is normally zero, since the program is free) or twenty-five US dollars (USD 25.00).

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited.

Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless AntoAssistant from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable legal fees, arising from your breach of these terms, your misuse of the program, or your enrolment of a mobile number you were not authorised to enrol.

Termination and suspension

You may leave the program at any time by replying STOP. We may suspend or terminate your participation, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have breached these terms, if your carrier or an upstream provider requires it, if your number appears to have been reassigned, or if we discontinue the program.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination, including the disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and governing law provisions, continue to apply after your participation ends.

Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. You and we agree to try in good faith to resolve any dispute informally by contacting anthony20151128@gmail.com first, and to allow at least thirty days for an informal resolution before starting formal proceedings.

If a dispute cannot be resolved informally, it will be brought in the state or federal courts located in the State of Illinois, United States, and you and we consent to the jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing here prevents either party from seeking relief in a small claims court where the claim qualifies.

Severability and assignment

If any provision of these terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions stay in force and the unenforceable provision will be applied in the narrowest way that preserves its intent. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.

You may not assign your rights under these terms. We may assign ours in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, provided the recipient agrees to honour these terms.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the “last updated” date at the top of this page and post the revised terms here, at this same web address, so you can always see the current version.

If a change materially affects your rights or the nature of the messages you receive, we will notify subscribers by text message before the change takes effect, and where the law requires it we will ask for your consent again. Continuing to participate in the program after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms. If you do not accept them, reply STOP to unsubscribe.
