Alerts Terms & Conditions
ALERT TERMS & CONDITIONS
These terms and conditions (“Terms”) apply to your use of the text messaging (“Alerts”) offered by On-Ramp Indiana, Inc. and its affiliates (collectively, “ORI”, “us”, and “our”). The Alerts are available only to subscribers of ORI services. These Terms apply in addition to all other terms, agreements, and policies that apply to ORI services.
In order to use the Alerts, you may be required to provide information about yourself (such as account identification, phone number(s), and contact details) to verify your status as the account holder or authorized person on ORI account. By providing your mobile phone number(s) to ORI and its affiliates, you provide us with your express consent to receive text message (Short Messaging Service “SMS” and Multimedia Messaging Service “MMS”) alerts at that number and (i) acknowledge and represent to us that you are the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) that you link to our text message service or have been granted permission by the authorized user of the mobile phone(s) to enroll such mobile phone(s) in the service; (ii) you grant ORI express consent to send text messages to that (those) mobile phone(s) through your wireless phone carrier unless and until such permission is revoked in accordance with these terms and conditions; (iii) your receipt of SMS and/or MMS messages from ORI (“ORI alerts”) is NOT a violation of state or federal rules including, but not limited to, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) or Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing (CAN-SPAM) Act; (iv) you understand that your wireless carrier may charge you additional message and data fees for receipt of our text messages; and (v) by granting such permission to ORI you are hereby requesting to receive such messages in spite of the fact that your number may otherwise be on the federal, or a state’s, do not call list and you agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, that such text messages shall not be in violation of such do not call list(s).
Informational and emergency text message alerts may be activated on your account automatically, you may receive enrollment confirmation message, or both. These messages allow us to inform you about planned and unplanned service outages in your area, appointment reminders, as well as remind you about important account information (invoice availability, balance due and payment due dates, payment confirmations, and other issues). If you do not wish to receive such alerts, you must notify us as indicated below. We may also inform you about the availability of special promotions that we are offering through text messages.
Text alerts can be cancelled at any time by texting “STOP” from your mobile phone in response to a text message from ORI, or texting “STOP” to 90622. You agree that your prior express consent to receive text alerts shall continue indefinitely unless and until you cancel your prior express consent through the means mentioned in this paragraph. Other methods or means attempted to revoke your prior express consent may cause unnecessary delay or be ineffective and you hereby release ORI from any liability related to your efforts to revoke your prior express consent by methods or means other than texting STOP (without spaces or other words) to 90622. If revoking your consent by texting “STOP” to 90622 (or in response to a ORI Alert), your text message should contain only the word STOP without any additional words, spaces, or characters either before or after the word STOP. ORI will reasonably endeavor to comply with other text (email or phone) communications in which you indicate a clear and unmistakable intent to revoke your prior permission; however, you (a) understand that text messages to 90622 go to an automated number that is not monitored by a human, and the ability to interpret your intent is severely restricted and, therefore, (b) you hereby release ORI from any liability for your efforts to revoke your permission via a text message that does not strictly comply with the terms stated in the first sentence of this paragraph. Furthermore, by activating text alerts, you hereby grant ORI express permission (without qualification) to respond to your cancellation request whether that request came through a telephone call with a ORI employee, or by texting “STOP” with a confirmatory text message in return that will (i) confirm receipt of your cancellation request as well as (ii) indicate that you will no longer receive text alerts from ORI . Furthermore, you agree that ORI will reasonably endeavor to send you the aforementioned confirmatory cancellation text message in a timely manner.
However, you hereby release ORI from any liability related to a confirmatory text message or the timeliness in which you receive one.

ORI does not charge to send you text alerts. However, depending on the plan you subscribe to with your wireless carrier, message and data rates may be applied by your mobile carrier. Check with your wireless phone carrier for your plan details.
Message frequency will be at least monthly, but ultimately depends on the type of alerts sent to your mobile phone, the manner in which you conduct account activities, as well as the number of planned or unplanned maintenance events scheduled in your area. Customers can typically expect 3 – 5 messages per month from ORI Alerts.

ORI Alerts use wireless service provider networks to deliver SMS and/or MMS (text) service; however, ORI does not operate the wireless networks. ORI is not liable for the availability (or lack thereof) of wireless network coverage, the failure of the wireless networks to complete a transaction, deliver an Alert or message, or otherwise interfere with the timeliness or transmission of SMS and/or MMS or the Alerts. ORI disclaims any responsibility for any wireless service used to access the Alerts. ORI Alerts are available to customers based in the United States. Customer understands and acknowledges that Alerts are not intended to be accessed from outside of the United States. In addition, because ORI does not operate or control the wireless networks used to access the Alerts, we cannot guarantee the privacy or security of wireless data transmissions. Please check with your wireless service provider for information about its privacy and security practices. ORI is not responsible for incomplete, lost, late, or misdirected messages, including (but not limited to) undelivered messages resulting from any form of filtering by your mobile carrier or service provider. ORI also makes no representations or warranties whatsoever regarding text alerts. The services are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

For additional information regarding ORI ’s use of your information, please see our Privacy Notice. You acknowledge and agree that text messaging is provided via wireless systems which use radios (and other means) to transmit communications over complex networks. We do not guarantee that your use of text messages will be private or secure, and we are not liable to you for any lack of privacy or security you may experience. You are fully responsible for taking precautions and providing security measures best suited for your situation and intended use of text messaging, including expressing your desire to not receive them.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT ORI SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR ANY OTHER DAMAGES, EVEN IF ORI HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS, ARISING OR RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATING TO YOUR USE OR RECEIPT OF OR FAILURE TO RECEIVE TEXT ALERTS. OTHER THAN AS REQUIRED UNDER APPLICABLE CONSUMER PROTECTION LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCE WILL ORI, ITS PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, AGENTS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE CAUSED BY THE USE OF OR RELIANCE ON INFORMATION OBTAINED THROUGH THE ALERTS.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless ORI , its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, employees, partners, and licensors from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use or receipt of or failure to receive ORI’s text alerts.
ORI reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cancel or suspend its text alert services, in whole or in part, for any reason, with or without notice to you.
Governing law and enforceability of these Text Alerts Terms and Conditions will be the same as those that apply to your services’ otherwise applicable terms and conditions. In case of a conflict or ambiguity regarding governing law in such otherwise applicable terms and conditions, these Text Alerts Terms and Conditions will be construed under the laws of the State of Indiana. If any part of these Text Alerts Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, original intentions of these Text Alerts Terms and Conditions, and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect.
You agree that for all matters not explicitly addressed herein, including general terms applicable to both email and text alerts, ORI’s Annual Notice of Terms and Conditions (the “ORI Terms and Conditions”) shall apply and are hereby incorporated herein by reference. In addition, you hereby reaffirm your agreement to ORI Terms and Conditions, and your continued use and acceptance of text alerts will mean that you accept ORI Terms and Conditions then in effect.
