Legal Notice

    Adalace SMS Terms & Privacy

    Our comprehensive terms and privacy notice for SMS messaging services

    Effective Date: September 19, 2025

    Scope and Applicability

    These SMS Terms and Privacy Notice (this "Policy") apply platform-wide to all SMS and MMS messaging transmitted via the Adalace software platform provided by Aesthetronics, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Aesthetronics"), on behalf of its business customers. This Policy is centralized and not customer-specific. By enabling or using messaging features, each business customer agrees that these terms govern all messaging sent through its account, and that end users who receive messages are subject to this Policy.

    Roles and Responsibilities

    Aesthetronics provides the Adalace software and related transmission services only. Each business customer is the sender of record and is responsible for message content and audience and for collecting, documenting, and maintaining any legally required consent from its end users, including honoring opt-out requests. Aesthetronics acts as a service provider/processor and processes personal information solely to provide the services to the customer consistent with the customer's instructions and applicable agreements.

    Program Description

    Messaging facilitated by Adalace may include, as configured by a customer, appointment and booking confirmations and reminders, scheduling changes, transactional notifications, and service-related communications. Marketing or promotional messaging is permitted only if the customer has obtained the level of consent required by applicable law and carrier/industry rules.

    About Adalace

    Adalace is business management software created by Aesthetronics, Inc. We are an ISV (Independent Software Vendor) B2B2C SaaS platform. Our management software is hosted on the https://Adalace.ai domain, and technical support is available at Support@Adalace.ai. Our marketing website and legal documentation are accessible via https://joinadalace.com, with this SMS policy specifically located at https://joinadalace.com/sms-terms. Both domains are owned and operated by Aesthetronics, Inc. The software provides SMS appointment notifications and confirmations that let clients reply to confirm or reschedule, sends reminders, and supports two-way SMS between the client business and its customers. Messages include the business name and opt-out information. Messages are only sent to contacts who gave explicit consent. Adalace captures and logs all messaging on behalf of the business.

    ISV Brand Separation Requirements

    As an Independent Software Vendor (ISV), Aesthetronics maintains strict brand separation protocols to ensure compliance and prevent cross-contamination of messaging campaigns:

    • One TFN (Toll-Free Number) per client brand: Each client business brand maintains its own dedicated toll-free number. We do not aggregate multiple brands on a single TFN.
    • Brand-specific opt-in: Each brand maintains its own separate opt-in process and subscriber list. Consent is brand-specific and non-transferable.
    • Isolated messaging: Each brand only messages its own opted-in users. There is no cross-brand messaging or sharing of subscriber lists.
    • Customer Profile compliance: Each client maintains distinct Primary and Secondary Customer Profiles as applicable, with messaging limited to their designated user base.

    This brand separation ensures regulatory compliance, prevents messaging confusion, and maintains clear consent boundaries for each business using the Adalace platform.

    Consent and Opt-in

    Each customer must obtain express, demonstrable opt-in from end users before sending messages, using clear language that explains message purpose, anticipated frequency, that standard Msg & data rates may apply, and that consent is not a condition of purchase. Opt-in mechanisms may include web forms, point-of-sale flows, paper forms, or other compliant methods; the customer must retain records of consent and provide them upon reasonable request for compliance review.

    Consent Collection Methods

    Adalace supports multiple consent collection channels to ensure proper opt-in compliance:

    • Online booking (web/app): Checkbox with copy: "If you would like to opt-out of these messages, you may toggle off and proceed. Msg & data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. Reply HELP for help or STOP to cancel."
    • In-app settings: Staff verifies client consent to opt in for business messages, clicks the checkbox opt-in toggle.
    • Customer-initiated contact: Customer texts business to get information or schedule appointment.
    • Keyword opt-in: Customer-initiated text by texting opt-in keyword (START, SUBSCRIBE) to business phone number.

    Record keeping: Adalace stores consent method (web/app/phone/in person/inbound text), timestamp, staff ID (if applicable), and metadata for compliance purposes.

    Marketing vs. Transactional Consent Requirements

    Adalace maintains strict separation between transactional and marketing messaging consent requirements:

    Marketing Messages

    Marketing or promotional messaging requires written web-form opt-in only.Marketing consent cannot be obtained through:

    • • Phone conversations or verbal consent
    • • In-person staff verification
    • • Customer-initiated text messages
    • • Keyword opt-in responses

    Marketing consent must be obtained through documented web forms with clear language about promotional content, frequency, and terms.

    Transactional Messages

    Appointment confirmations, reminders, scheduling changes, and service-related communications may use any of the consent collection methods listed above (web/app forms, staff verification, customer-initiated contact, keyword opt-in).

    Standard Opt-in Message

    "You are subscribed to receive appointment reminders from [Business Name]. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for help. Terms: https://joinadalace.com/sms-terms"

    Sample Messages

    Appointment Reminder:

    "Reminder: [Business Name] appointment on [Date] at [Time] with [Provider] at [Location]. Reply C to confirm or R to reschedule. Reply STOP to unsubscribe, HELP for help."

    Help Response:

    "[Business Name] SMS Help: Reply STOP to unsubscribe. Contact Support@Adalace.ai for assistance. Msg & data Rates May Apply."

    Opt-out Confirmation:

    "You're unsubscribed from [Business Name] texts. No more messages will be sent. Reply START to resubscribe."

    Opt-out and HELP Commands

    Adalace enforces universal keyword processing. If an end user replies any opt-out keyword (STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, OPTOUT, REVOKE, or STOPALL), Adalace will block further messages to that number for the applicable program and return a one-time confirmation of the opt-out. Reply HELP (or INFO) returns basic help and contact information, including Support@Adalace.ai. Customers can also re-subscribe by replying START or SUBSCRIBE. Customers must not override or circumvent platform-level opt-outs and must honor any opt-out request received through other channels without unreasonable delay.

    Message Frequency; Charges

    Message frequency varies by user activity and customer configuration. Standard Msg & data rates may apply. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of purchase.

    Acceptable Use; Legal and Carrier Compliance

    Use of messaging must comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including the U.S. Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), CAN-SPAM (as applicable), state analogs, Canada's anti-spam laws where relevant, the CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices, and carrier policies. Prohibited content includes illegal, deceptive, abusive, harassing, or misleading messages; phishing; SHAFT content (sex, hate, alcohol to minors, firearms, tobacco to minors); and messages that violate intellectual-property or privacy rights. Aesthetronics may monitor for abuse and may suspend or terminate messaging to protect recipients, carriers, and the platform or to address violations.

    • Protected Health Information (PHI) and other sensitive personal data
    • Prohibited categories: CBD, cannabis, vape products, lead-generation scams
    • Illegal, deceptive, abusive, harassing, or misleading content

    Customers must ensure their websites, marketing materials, and messaging samples do not hint at or promote any of these prohibited categories. Violations may result in immediate suspension or termination of messaging services.

    Carrier Disclosures

    Delivery is subject to carrier coverage and network conditions; carriers and Aesthetronics are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. A wireless carrier may disclose limited account or device information to Aesthetronics and its messaging providers solely to help identify a line and prevent fraud.

    Sensitive Data

    Customers must not transmit protected health information, government ID numbers, payment card data, or other sensitive personal data via SMS. Aesthetronics does not support HIPAA-regulated SMS unless expressly agreed in a separate HIPAA program and Business Associate Agreement.

    Privacy; Information Processed

    Aesthetronics processes the following categories of personal information as needed to provide messaging: phone numbers; message content; timestamps; delivery and routing metadata; opt-in/opt-out status; device/carrier identifiers provided by carriers; customer account identifiers. Aesthetronics uses this information to send and deliver messages, operate and secure the platform, prevent fraud/abuse, comply with law, provide support, and improve service performance. Aesthetronics does not sell or share personal information for cross-context behavioral advertising.

    Data Retention

    Aesthetronics retains messaging logs, opt-in/opt-out records, and related metadata for approximately 18 months, or longer if required to comply with law, enforce rights, or resolve disputes, after which records are deleted or de-identified. Individual customers may retain their own records on their systems for longer periods.

    Data Sharing and International Transfer

    Aesthetronics may disclose messaging data to its subprocessors (including messaging carriers, delivery vendors, security and support providers) strictly to provide the services; to comply with law or valid legal process; to prevent fraud, abuse, or security incidents; or in connection with corporate transactions. Data may be processed in the United States and other jurisdictions; appropriate safeguards are applied for cross-border transfers.

    Security

    Aesthetronics implements technical and organizational measures designed to protect messaging data against unauthorized access, use, or disclosure appropriate to the nature of the data and the risks of processing. No transmission method is fully secure; customers must also protect access to their accounts and limit user permissions appropriately.

    Customer Obligation to Surface this Policy

    Each customer must display or link to this centralized Policy (SMS Terms and Privacy sections) anywhere it collects SMS opt-in, including websites, checkout flows, paper forms, and other enrollment points, and include a short-form disclosure at the opt-in point stating purpose of messages, that Msg & data rates may apply, that frequency varies, instructions to reply STOP to cancel and HELP for help, and a link to this Policy.

    Changes

    Aesthetronics may update this Policy from time to time to reflect operational, legal, or regulatory changes. Material changes will be posted with a new effective date. Continued use of messaging after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
