Call-to-Action (CTA) Compliance
If using a “Join our Club” checkbox to a web form, the following text must appear immediately below the “Submit” button on any web form:
“By clicking ‘Submit,’ I consent to receive recurring marketing text messages from (Business Name) at the number provided. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Msg & data rates may apply. Msg frequency varies. Reply STOP to cancel; HELP for help. View our [Terms of Service] and [Privacy Policy].
Why this is needed for approval:
- Non-Sharing Clause: Carriers (especially T-Mobile) will reject any application that doesn’t explicitly state that SMS opt-in data is not shared with third parties for marketing.
- Help/Stop Keywords: These must be listed in the Terms so the carrier knows the user was informed how to exit the program.
- No Purchase Required: This is a legal requirement under the TCPA to ensure the opt-in is truly voluntary.
