Messaging Policy

Effective Date: April 24, 2026

Legal Company Name: 0981308 B.C. Ltd.

DBA: Petitext

This Messaging Policy describes how Petitext ("we", "our", "us"), operated by 0981308 B.C. Ltd., a corporation registered in British Columbia, Canada, delivers SMS messaging in compliance with U.S. A2P 10DLC rules, CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices, and carrier acceptable-use policies. It supplements our Terms and Conditions and Privacy Policy.

Program: Petitext Virtual Number Service. Petitext is a dedicated virtual phone number rental platform that provides subscribers with a number they can publish or share on classified listings, ads, profiles, business cards, signatures, or other non-SMS channels. Outbound SMS from a rented number is enabled only as a reply to a third party who has first texted the rental number. Each subscriber rents a dedicated number for a fixed rental period (1, 3, or 7 days). We do not send marketing, promotional, or broadcast SMS to any number.

You opt in to Petitext's messaging service by:

• Creating a rental on petitext.com
• Providing your email address
• Checking the consent box acknowledging our Terms and Conditions, Privacy Policy, and this Messaging Policy

No separate SMS opt-in to your personal mobile number is collected or required — all operational notifications from Petitext are delivered by email.

Operational notifications (delivered by email, not SMS):

• Rental activation: confirms your assigned number and expiry date
• Rental expiry warning: reminds you approximately 2 hours before your rental ends
• Billing receipts: confirms payment and rental period

Your rented Petitext virtual number is used solely for receiving inbound SMS from third parties who choose to text you, and for your replies back to those third parties. The Petitext service itself does not originate marketing, promotional, or broadcast SMS to any number.

Receive-first model: outbound SMS from your rental number is enabled only after a given recipient has first texted that number. This is enforced at the platform layer — there is no mechanism for you to send the first SMS of a conversation. The recipient's own inbound SMS is itself the consent event that authorizes you to reply, in line with U.S. A2P 10DLC requirements.

Petitext originates automated SMS from your rented number only as keyword replies (STOP / HELP / START) in response to messages received by your rented number. These are the exact texts:

• STOP: "Petitext: You have successfully been unsubscribed, you will not receive any more messages from this number. Reply START to re-subscribe."
• HELP: "Petitext: Virtual number service. For help visit petitext.com or email support@corporate.petitext.com. Msg freq varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out."
• START (opt-back-in): "Petitext: Thanks for subscribing! Reply HELP for help. Msg frequency may vary. Msg & data rates may apply. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Reply STOP to opt out."

Automated Petitext replies occur only in response to HELP, STOP, or START keywords received by your rented number from third-party senders. The frequency is low — typically zero for a given rental period unless keywords are triggered. Conversational outbound SMS is reply-only (no first-message initiation) and capped by per-plan active-conversation and outbound-reply limits documented in our Terms and Conditions §4.

Standard mobile carrier message and data rates may apply to SMS sent from your personal mobile carrier to any phone number. Recipients' standard rates also apply. Petitext is not responsible for carrier charges incurred by you or your contacts.

Opt-out: Any recipient can reply STOP to a message from a Petitext rental number to be unsubscribed. Opt-outs are recorded and enforced per rental number automatically.

Opt-in (resubscribe): Reply START to resubscribe after a previous opt-out.

Account-level opt-out: You can stop the service entirely by letting your rental expire, or by emailing support@corporate.petitext.com.

Petitext is for receive-first conversational messaging only. We prohibit and will terminate accounts engaged in:

• Initiating contact with any recipient who has not first texted your rental number
• Attempting to circumvent the receive-first restriction through any technical or social means
• Spam, bulk outreach, or unsolicited broadcast messaging
• Marketing or promotional SMS campaigns
• SHAFT content: Sex/adult, Hate speech, Alcohol to minors, Firearms (unlicensed), Tobacco/cannabis
• SMS verification for services that prohibit virtual numbers
• Automated or bot-generated messages
• Harassment, impersonation, fraud, or phishing
• Any use that violates U.S. A2P 10DLC rules or carrier acceptable-use policies

Accounts violating these rules are terminated immediately and without refund. We cooperate with carriers and law enforcement when required by law.
