Working launch document
Messaging & Acceptable Use Policy
Version 2026-08-02This working policy supports product development and onboarding and is incorporated into the working Terms of Use.
1. Purpose and scope
This policy applies to SMS, MMS, call forwarding, scheduling, templates, automations, and related communication features provided through TextCRM. It applies to freelancers, sole proprietors, independent contractors, organizations, and every person they authorize to use a workspace.
2. Permitted launch uses
TextCRM may be used for ordinary, consented service-business communications, including:
- Replies to customer-initiated questions
- Requested estimates and quote follow-ups
- Scheduling, arrival windows, and weather delays
- Job-status, invoice, and account updates for the customer's own service
Promotional messaging is disabled or restricted unless TextCRM expressly enables it and the sender has the separately required permission.
3. Permission and proof
- Senders must have a valid permission basis before sending each message.
- Permission must identify the sender and the subject of the expected messages.
- Users must retain reliable proof and provide specific evidence to TextCRM when reasonably requested after a complaint, carrier request, audit, or suspected violation.
- Original proof may remain in the user’s invoices, agreements, email, or other records; TextCRM does not ordinarily require an upload for every contact.
- A customer-initiated text permits a response in that conversation but does not automatically authorize unrelated or indefinitely recurring messages.
- Moving an existing, valid customer conversation into TextCRM does not change the sender, but the user must document the prior permission.
4. Opt-outs
Senders must honor all opt-outs immediately. TextCRM may automatically block messages after STOP or an equivalent request. Users may not evade, remove, or work around a suppression. A contact may be messaged again only after a valid, documented re-opt-in.
5. Contact imports
Contacts may be imported for CRM organization. Importing a number does not establish messaging permission. Purchased, rented, scraped, shared, or brokered lists are prohibited. TextCRM may limit imports, disable bulk messaging, request evidence, or suspend an account.
6. Prohibited and excluded uses
Unwanted messaging
- Purchased, rented, scraped, or shared contact lists
- Cold outreach, unsolicited bulk messages, or spam
- Snowshoeing, filter evasion, misleading sender identity, phishing, or fraud
Sensitive or regulated information
- Protected health information or any HIPAA-regulated workflow
- Payment-card data, bank credentials, Social Security numbers, or account passwords
- Legal advice or privileged legal matters
- Credit, lending, insurance, investment, or financial-advice services
Excluded launch uses
- Emergency, life-safety, crisis, or time-critical communications
- Child-directed services or intentional collection of children's information
- Adult content, gambling, controlled substances, firearms, tobacco, or alcohol promotions
- Political messaging, third-party debt collection, or other specially regulated campaigns
Users also may not violate applicable law, carrier requirements, Telnyx policies applicable to downstream users, another person’s rights, or any TextCRM instruction intended to protect recipients or the messaging network.
7. Account owners and staff
The account owner is responsible for invited staff, credentials, permissions, message content, and activity performed through the workspace. Each person should use an individual login. Shared credentials are not permitted.
8. Call forwarding
Call forwarding may be used only with a verified business destination. It may not be used for emergency services, premium-rate destinations, unlawful caller-ID manipulation, harassment, fraud, or evasion. TextCRM does not enable native call recording or call-audio storage by default, although telecommunications providers may process audio in transit or for security, fraud prevention, troubleshooting, or legal compliance under their terms. If recording is later offered, the account owner must provide required notices and obtain required consent.
9. Monitoring and enforcement
TextCRM may use automated and limited human review to investigate complaints, abnormal volumes, repeated content, carrier errors, opt-out rates, fraud, security events, and suspected policy violations. TextCRM may restrict features, suspend messaging, preserve necessary records, or terminate access when reasonably necessary.
10. No legal or compliance guarantee
TextCRM provides software controls and operational guidance, not legal advice. The account owner remains responsible for determining whether its messages, consent practices, industry, and use of the service comply with applicable laws and contractual requirements.
