3. Messaging Program Terms

The Platform includes SMS and email messaging capabilities that dealerships use to communicate with their customers. This section describes the terms governing these messaging features.

3.1 Program Description

Ameriuse-powered dealerships send SMS and email messages to customers who have submitted vehicle inquiries, appointment requests, financing applications, or other contact forms through the dealership's website or in-person interactions. These messages are transactional and relationship-based, including:

  • Responses to vehicle inquiries and availability questions
  • Appointment confirmations and reminders
  • Vehicle status updates (inspection results, reconditioning progress, ready for pickup)
  • Follow-up messages related to customer inquiries
  • Financing and documentation updates
  • Service and recall notifications

Messages are customer-initiated or customer-related. The Platform is not used for unsolicited bulk promotional messaging or spam.

3.2 Consent

By submitting a contact form, vehicle inquiry, appointment request, or financing application through an Ameriuse-powered dealer website and providing your phone number, you consent to receive SMS messages from that dealership related to your inquiry or transaction. Consent is specific to the dealership you contacted and the inquiry you submitted.

SMS consent is not a condition of purchase. You may purchase goods or services from a dealership without consenting to SMS communications.

SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes.

3.3 Message Frequency

Message frequency varies based on the nature of your inquiry and the dealership's communication practices. You may receive multiple messages related to an active inquiry, appointment, or transaction. Recurring messages may be sent as part of ongoing customer service.

3.4 Message and Data Rates

Message and data rates may apply. Standard messaging rates from your wireless carrier apply to all SMS messages sent to or received from the Platform. Ameriuse is not responsible for any charges imposed by your carrier.

3.5 Opt-Out (STOP)

You may opt out of SMS messages at any time by replying STOP to any message received from a dealership. Upon receiving your STOP request, we will confirm your opt-out and cease sending SMS messages from that dealership. Opting out of SMS does not affect other forms of communication (email, phone calls) unless you separately request those to stop.

3.6 Help

For assistance with SMS messages, reply HELP to any message or contact us at support@ameriuse.com. You will receive a reply with support contact information.

3.7 Supported Carriers
