Effective: January 1, 2024
AeroCare Franchising, LLC, and each of their subsidiaries, affiliates, and divisions (“AeroCare Franchising, LLC,” “Company,” “We,” “Us,” or “Our”) offer a Mobile Messaging & Telephone Program (for purposes of these Terms, the “Program”), which you agree to use and participate in subject to these Mobile Messaging & Telephone Terms and Conditions and Mobile Messaging & Telephone Privacy Policy (the “Terms”). The AeroCare Franchising, LLC Privacy Policy and AeroCare Franchising, LLC Terms and Conditions provide information and notices concerning Our collection, use, and disclosure of your information, and are incorporated herein by reference.
By opting into or participating in Our Program, you accept and agree to these Terms, including, without limitation, your agreement to resolve any disputes with Us through binding, individual-only arbitration, as detailed in the “Dispute Resolution” and “Binding Arbitration” sections below. These Terms are limited to the Program and are not intended to modify other terms and conditions or privacy policy(ies) that may govern the relationship between you and Us in other contexts.
Modification of Terms: We reserve the right to revise these Terms from time to time without advanced notice or liability. If We do revise these Terms, the revised terms will supersede prior versions. Unless We say otherwise, revisions will be effective upon the effective date indicated at the top of these Terms and any change to these Terms will be effective as soon as they are displayed. While notice of any updates to these Terms may be communicated to you, including but not limited to by mobile message with a link to the updated Terms, it is your responsibility to check these Terms periodically for any changes. Your continued participation in the Program constitutes your acceptance of any revisions. If you do not agree to the revisions, you must opt out of the Program.
Participant Requirements: Depending on the method of contact (see below), participants in the Program must be wireless service subscribers with a wireless device of their own that has mobile text messaging services provided by a participating wireless carrier. The device must be capable of two-way messaging. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Participants must check their phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.
User Opt-In: Depending on the consent provided, the Program allows users to receive promotional and informational communications from AeroCare Franchising, LLC, including employees and agents thereof, by mobile message (including but not limited to text or SMS messages and/or via any automated dialing or texting system), and/or telephone call (including but not limited to via any automatic telephone dialing system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice, which includes any message left on any voicemail or answering machine) by affirmatively opting into the Program. Regardless of the opt-in method you utilized to join the Program, you agree that these Terms apply to your participation in the Program. By participating in the Program, you agree to receive autodialed or prerecorded marketing, promotional, informational and/or nonpromotional communications by mobile message or telephone call at the phone number associated with your opt-in, and you understand that neither opting into nor participating in the Program is required to make any purchase from Us. While you consent to receive communications by mobile message and/or telephone, including those sent using an automated dialing or texting system and/or artificial or prerecorded voice, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of Our mobile messages are sent using an automatic telephone dialing system (“ATDS” or “autodialer”) or artificial or prerecorded voice. Message and data rates may apply.
User Opt-Out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to these Terms, you acknowledge and understand that you may opt-out and/or revoke your consent at any time. For mobile messaging, you agree to reply “STOP” to any mobile message from Us in order to opt out of the Program. You may receive an additional mobile message confirming your decision to opt out. Alternatively, you may opt out of the Program by calling 844-799-2376. You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out, unless otherwise specified. You also understand and agree that any other method of opting out, including, but not limited to, texting words other than those set forth above or otherwise verbally requesting one of Our employees to remove you from Our list is not a reasonable means of opting out. Carriers provide daily files for phone numbers that have deactivated from or reassigned within their network or been ported from one carrier to another. We proactively opt out these numbers from Our subscription list.
Age Restriction and Eligibility: You may not use or engage with the Program if you are under eighteen (18) years of age. By using or engaging with the Program, you acknowledge and agree that you are not under the age of eighteen (18).

By using or engaging with the Program, you further acknowledge and agree to the terms set forth in these Terms, and Company’s Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, all of which form binding agreements between you and Us.
Duty to Notify and Indemnify: If at any time you intend to stop using the phone number used to subscribe to the Program, including cancelling your service plan or selling or transferring the phone number to another party, you agree that you will complete the User Opt-Out process set forth above prior to ending your use of the phone number. You understand and agree that your agreement to do so is a material part of these Terms. This duty and agreement shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of Our Programs.
YOU AGREE THAT YOU SHALL INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD US, OUR AGENTS, AND ANY THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDER WE USE TO SEND MOBILE MESSAGES OR MAKE TELEPHONE CALLS HARMLESS FROM ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY EXPENSES (INLCUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES) AND DAMAGES, RESULTING FROM YOUR FAILURE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, TO NOTIFY US OF A CHANGE IN THE INFORMATION YOU HAVE PROVIDED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY CLAIM OR LIABILITY UNDER THE TELEPHONE CONSUMER PROTECTION ACT (TCPA), 47 U.S.C. § 227, et seq., OR SIMILAR STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS, AND ANY REGULATIONS PROMULGATED THEREUNDER RESULTING FROM US ATTEMPTING TO CONTACT YOU AT THE MOBILE TELEPHONE NUMBER YOU PROVIDED.

Third Parties: Company may use third parties to: (a) facilitate the provision of the Program, including but not necessarily limited to sending you marketing, promotional, non-promotional, and/or informational communications; and/or (b) provide services or information, including but not limited to those for commercial purposes, that are related to the Program and/or the Products and Services, as referenced in Company’s Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions. Any terms and conditions or other agreements issued by such a third party that are applicable to your participation in the Program and/or use of the “Site,” as referenced in Our Privacy Policy and Terms and Conditions, are an agreement between you and such third party, not Company. We will not be responsible for any failure of such third parties to fulfil their obligations under such terms and conditions or other agreements.
Our Disclaimer of Warranty: The Program is offered on an “as-is” basis and may not be available in all areas at all times and may not continue to work in the event of product, software, coverage, or other changes made by your wireless carrier or communications provider. We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages or telephone calls connected with the Program. Delivery of mobile messages and telephone calls is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/telecommunications provider/network operator and is outside of Our control.
Truthful and Accurate Information: When you complete forms online or otherwise provide Us information in connection with the Program, you agree to provide accurate, complete, and true information. You agree not to use a false or misleading name or a name that you are not authorized to use. If, in Our sole discretion, We believe that any such information is untrue, inaccurate, or incomplete, or you have opted into the Program for an ulterior purpose, We may refuse you access to the Program and pursue any appropriate legal remedies.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction: These terms and any dispute, controversy, claim, cause of action, or complaint arising therefrom, or out of or in connection with, directly or indirectly, these Terms, the Program, and/or the delivery and functionality of the mobile messages issued or delivered by Company or otherwise as part of the Program, (individually, a “Dispute,” and collectively, “Disputes”) shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
Federal and State Courts in Broward County, Florida: Except where arbitration is required, as described below, or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING HEREUNDER MAY ONLY BE INSTITUTED IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN Broward County, FLORIDA. ACCORDINGLY, ALL PARTIES CONSENT TO THE EXCLUSIVE PERSONAL JURISDICTION AND VENUE OF SUCH COURTS FOR SUCH MATTERS.
Dispute Resolution: Most concerns can be resolved quickly and satisfactorily by calling Our Customer Care line at: 844-799-2376. However, if any Dispute cannot be resolved by calling Our Customer Care team, then notice must be provided as specified herein. This dispute resolution procedure does not apply to the substance of any offer or promotion or to product purchases. All parties agree to send a written notice to the other promptly or no later than when the notifying party reasonably should have known or should have become aware of the Dispute (i.e., when the “Dispute Arises”) and at latest within the Limited Time to File Claims, as specified below. This written notice will provide a reasonable description of the Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Notice from Us to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provided to Us (including via mobile messaging or email), but if no such information exists or if such information is not current (including if you have unsubscribed to texts or messages), then We have no obligation to send you such notice under this section (the “Dispute Resolution” section). Your notice must be sent to: AeroCare Franchising, LLC, 100 SE 3rd Avenue, 10th Floor Fort Lauderdale, FL 33394 (ATTN: Legal Department). For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, Company and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute, though nothing will require either you or Company to resolve the Dispute on terms with respect to which you and Company are not comfortable.
Binding Arbitration: ANY DISPUTE, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, THAT CANNOT FIRST BE RESOLVED THROUGH INFORMAL METHODS, AS DESCRIBED ABOVE, WILL BE SUBMITTED TO BINDING ARBITRATION IN Broward County, FLORIDA, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RULES OF THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (AAA), then in effect except as modified herein. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA. Claims or disputes that fall within the scope of the small claims court’s limited jurisdiction may, however, be submitted to such court. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS WAIVING ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. THE ARBITRATOR WILL APPLY AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND WILL DETERMINE ANY DISPUTE ACCORDING TO APPLICABLE LAW AND FACTS BASED UPON THE RECORD AND NO OTHER BASIS. ANY DECISION RENDERED IN SUCH ARBITRATION PROCEEDINGS WILL BE FINAL AND BINDING ON THE PARTIES, AND JUDGMENT MAY BE ENTERED THEREON IN ANY COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION.
All Parties will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if the applicable arbitration rules or laws require Us to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this arbitration provision to be enforceable, then We will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. AAA procedures, rules, and fee information may be obtained by contacting the AAA or visiting its website: AAA: 800.778.7879; www.adr.org.
No Class Action Matters: ALL PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS REGARDING DISPUTES HEREUNDER AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes hereunder will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any Dispute, controversy, or claim of any other party. There will be no right or authority for any Dispute, controversy, or claim to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or on any basis involving any Disputes, controversies, or claims brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction regarding arbitration on a class-action basis is unconscionable or unenforceable, then THE DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM MUST BE BROUGHT EXCLUSIVELY IN A STATE OR FEDERAL COURT LOCATED IN Broward County, FLORIDA, AS SET FORTH ABOVE. NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE TERMS, ANY AND ALL ISSUES RELATING TO THE SCOPE, INTERPRETATION, AND ENFORCEABILITY OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS CONTAINED HEREIN (DESCRIBED IN THIS “NO CLASS ACTION MATTERS” SECTION) ARE TO BE DECIDED ONLY BY A FEDERAL OR STATE COURT LOCATED IN Broward County, FLORIDA, AND NOT BY THE ARBITRATOR. THE ARBITRATOR DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER TO VARY THESE CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS.
Limitation of Liability: To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, We are not responsible and will not be liable for any damages of any nature, including without limitation any incidental, special or consequential damages (such as lost profits or lost business opportunities), punitive damages, or attorneys’ fees.
Limited Time to File Claims: If either Party wants to assert a Dispute against the other, then either Party must commence it within the applicable statute of limitations from when the Dispute Arises, or it will be forever barred. Commencing means, as applicable, (a) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in the “Dispute Resolution” section, (b) filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in “Binding Arbitration” section, or (c) filing an action in state or federal court.
Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the legality, validity, and enforceability of the remainder of the Terms will not be affected. If such provision(s) would cease to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable if some part(s) of that provision(s) were modified or deleted, the provision(s) in question will apply with the least such modification or deletion as may be necessary to make the provision(s) legal, valid, and enforceable, so that these Terms will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable
Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. Any new features, changes, updates, or improvements of the Program shall be subject to these Terms unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing.
