Text Alerts: Terms & Conditions

Program: Countdown to the Castle Text Alerts · Effective June 11, 2026

Program description

Countdown to the Castle Text Alerts sends occasional notification text messages from a private, invitation-only family trip-planning website to family members who opt in. Messages are alerts only (for example, that something new is waiting on the site or that you were mentioned in a conversation there); they do not contain marketing and are never sent to anyone outside our invited family group.

Opt-in

You receive messages only if you turn on "Text alerts" in your own member profile on the site. Texting is off by default. Text alerts for minors are managed by their parents or guardians. Consent is not a condition of any purchase; nothing on this site is for sale.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies with family activity on the site. Typically no more than a few messages per week, and at most one notification text per 20 minutes.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan. The program itself charges nothing.

Opting out

Reply STOP to any message to cancel text alerts. You will receive one final message confirming the opt-out. You can also turn off "Text alerts" in your profile on the site at any time.

Help and support

Reply HELP to any message for help, or contact the site administrator at joh71c@gmail.com.

Carriers

Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

Privacy

See our Privacy Policy. In short: your information is used only to run this private family site, and mobile numbers and opt-in consent are never shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes.
