Changes to the Messaging Service Privacy Policy
We may revise this Messaging Service Privacy Policy from time to time in our sole discretion. If there are any material changes to this Messaging Service Privacy Policy, we will notify you as required by applicable law.

Personal Information We Collect
When you sign up for the Messaging Service, We collect personal information such as your name, phone number, and email address. When you use the Messaging Service to send or receive messages, We collect communications metadata (e.g., the time/date a message was sent or received) and the contents of any communications you send or receive via the Messaging Service.
We may also collect information about you using cookies or similar technologies on Our website or other digital properties. Cookies are small text files placed on device browsers that store preferences and facilitate and enhance your experience. Cookies enable personalization of your experience via the Messaging Service (e.g., sending you personalized text messages such as shopping cart reminders).

We will also collect your personal information if you contact Us with questions about the Messaging Service or for customer service.
Use of Personal Information
We use your information to deliver, analyze, maintain and support the Messaging Service. We may also use your information to enhance the Messaging Service features and customize and personalize your experiences on the Messaging Service; to identify and prevent security risks; to prevent fraudulent, deceptive, and malicious activity including harassment and identify theft; and to verify and maintain the safety, quality, and accuracy of the Messaging Service. For example, We may use cookies to prefill your contact information, and to verify that you are authorized to consent to receive marketing messages to your device.

Membership Terms and Conditions
Part of the Services may include access to “Viasox VIP Club,” a members-only offering that provides exclusive benefits for an annual price (the “Membership”). For more information on the Membership, including current benefits, pricing, and how to sign up for the Membership, please see our Membership FAQs here.
Fees and Renewal. You must pay the Membership fee stated in the FAQ page found here, before receiving any benefits of the Membership. From time to time, we may change the fees for the Membership without notice to you. The Membership fee is non-refundable except as expressly set forth in these Membership Terms and Conditions. Taxes may apply on the Membership fee, and any taxes will be added to your order. If all eligible payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your Membership fee, you must provide us a new eligible payment method promptly or your Membership will be canceled. If you provide us with a new eligible payment method and are successfully charged, your new Membership period will be based on the original renewal date and not the date of the successful charge. UNLESS YOU NOTIFY US BEFORE A CHARGE THAT YOU WANT TO CANCEL OR DO NOT WANT TO AUTO RENEW, YOU UNDERSTAND YOUR MEMBERSHIP WILL AUTOMATICALLY CONTINUE AND YOU AUTHORIZE US (WITHOUT NOTICE TO YOU, UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW) TO COLLECT THE THEN-APPLICABLE MEMBERSHIP FEE AND ANY TAXES, USING ANY ELIGIBLE PAYMENT METHOD WE HAVE ON RECORD FOR YOU. For clarity, your Membership will automatically renew for an additional period equal in length to your initial Membership period until you cancel it using the payment method you have provided (i.e., if you initially paid for an annual Membership, at the end of your initial Membership, your Membership will automatically renew for another year).
Changes to Membership Terms. We may in our discretion change the terms of our Membership program. Any changes will be made to this page or the FAQ page linked above and will be effective as of the date of posting. Your continued Membership after we post updated terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you do not agree to the changes, your only recourse is to cancel your Membership.
Termination by Us. We may terminate your membership at our discretion. If we do so, we will give you a prorated refund based on the number of full months remaining in your membership subscription. However, we will not give any refund for termination related to conduct that we determine, in our discretion, violates these Terms or any applicable law, involves fraud or misuse of your Membership, or is harmful to our interests or another user. Our failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with these Terms will not constitute a waiver of any of our rights.
Store Credits. As a benefit of your Membership, you may receive store credit, which can be used only to purchase products or services on our website. Any store credits will expire 180 days after the date you earn or receive the store credit. If you do not use your store credit before it expires, you forfeit your right to use it. Store credit may not be exchanged or redeemed for cash or gift cards.
Limitation of Liability. IN ADDITION TO OTHER LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS, OUR TOTAL LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR MEMBERSHIP, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE LAST MEMBERSHIP FEE YOU PAID TO US. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW AND WILL SURVIVE CANCELLATION OR TERMINATION OF YOUR MEMBERSHIP
