By accessing our Services, submitting your phone number, or subscribing to receive messages, you agree to these Terms.

1. Description of Services

Gather Scout provides messaging and engagement technology that enables partner organizations—such as local governments, nonprofits, parks, and chambers—to send informational text and rich media messages about events, programs, and activities.

Gather Scout acts solely as a technology service provider and delivers messages on behalf of the partner organization you choose to subscribe to.

2. User Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years of age to use the Services. By using the Services, you represent that you meet this requirement.

3. User Consent and Messaging

By providing your mobile phone number and opting in, you consent to receive recurring informational messages from the specific partner organization you selected at opt-in.

• Message frequency varies by partner but is typically up to once per week.
• Message and data rates may apply.
• You may opt out at any time by replying STOP.
