SMS TERMS & CONDITIONS

Last updated: August 27, 2026

These SMS Terms & Conditions govern the MIIPH Updates text message program operated by the Mridha International Institute of Peace & Happiness (“MIIPH,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). By opting in, you agree to these terms.

1. Program description

MIIPH Updates is a recurring text message program. Messages may include announcements about peace symposiums and community events, membership and volunteer opportunities, new curriculum and educational resources, program reminders, and occasional promotional or fundraising messages about our work.

2. How to join

You may join the program by submitting your mobile number through our SMS sign-up form and checking the box that says you agree to receive marketing text messages from us. The box is not checked for you, and checking it is entirely optional — you may submit the form without it.

Consent is not a condition of purchase or of any membership, enrollment, program, or service offered by MIIPH. You may also be enrolled if you provide your mobile number and give express written consent through another MIIPH form, event registration, or written agreement that includes the same disclosures.

By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber of, or the customary user authorized to consent for, the mobile number you provide, and that you are at least 18 years of age.

3. Message frequency

Message frequency may vary. You can generally expect about 2–6 messages per month, though the number may be higher around major events such as our Annual Peace Symposium.

4. Cost and carrier charges

We do not charge for the messages we send. However, standard message and data rates may apply under the plan you have with your wireless carrier. Please contact your carrier for details about your plan.

5. How to opt out (STOP)

You can cancel the program at any time by replying STOP to any message you receive from us. After you send STOP, we will send you one message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further messages from this program. If you want to rejoin later, simply sign up again at miiph.org/sms.

6. How to get help (HELP)

Reply HELP to any message for assistance, or contact us directly at [email protected] or (989) 799-0635.

7. Carriers and delivery

Delivery of messages depends on your carrier's network and your device. Message delivery is not guaranteed. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Supported carriers may change without notice, and we are not responsible for messages that are not delivered as a result of carrier limitations, network conditions, or device settings.

8. Privacy

Information you provide when signing up is handled in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will not sell or share your mobile information or your SMS opt-in consent with third parties for promotional or marketing purposes. We share information with service providers — such as our messaging platform and telecommunications carriers — only as necessary to operate this messaging program.

9. Eligibility

This program is available to individuals in the United States who have a mobile number capable of receiving SMS messages and who are at least 18 years old.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these SMS Terms & Conditions from time to time. The current version will always be posted at miiph.org/sms-terms with the “Last updated” date above. Continuing to participate in the program after an update means you accept the revised terms.
