These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the www.russisforus.com website (“the Site”) operated by David Russ Is For US (“we”, “us”, “our”) and the David Russ Is For US SMS Program (“the SMS Program”). By using the Site or opting into the SMS Program, you agree to these Terms.

1. About this site and the SMS program

Program name: David Russ Is For US SMS Program.

Description: When you opt in by checking the appropriate consent box on a sign-up, contact, volunteer, or RSVP form, you can expect to receive text messages from David Russ Is For US of two types:

  • Informational — campaign updates, event reminders, volunteer-shift coordination, and direct replies to inquiries.
  • Promotional (separate opt-in) — fundraising appeals, donation drives, and occasional special promotions tied to the campaign.

Each consent type is collected with a separate, optional checkbox. Checking one does not opt you into the other.

2. Opt-out (STOP)

You can cancel the SMS service at any time. Simply text STOP to the shortcode or long code from which you received our message. After you send the SMS message “STOP” to us, we will send you an SMS message to confirm that you have been unsubscribed. After this, you will no longer receive SMS messages from us. If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending SMS messages to you again.

3. Help (HELP)

If you experience issues with the messaging program, reply with the keyword HELP for more assistance, or reach out directly to info@RussIsForUS.com or +1 971-406-3922.

4. Carrier liability

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery of SMS messages depends on the technical capabilities and policies of your wireless carrier and your handset, neither of which is under our control.

5. Message and data rates · message frequency

As always, message and data rates may apply for messages sent to you from us and to us from you. Message frequency varies based on the cycle of the campaign and the type of consent you have given. You can reply STOP at any time to stop receiving further messages.

6. Eligibility

The SMS Program is intended for U.S. residents 18 years of age or older with a U.S. mobile number. You represent that you are the account holder of the mobile number you provide, or that you are authorized to provide it.
