The The Bettering Company mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by The Bettering Company (“The Bettering Company”, “we”, or “us”). Your use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these terms and conditions (“Mobile Terms”). We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these Mobile Terms at any time and your continued use of the Service following the effective date of any such changes shall constitute your acceptance of such changes.
By consenting to The Bettering Company’s SMS/text messaging service, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from and on behalf of The Bettering Company through your wireless provider to the mobile number you provided, even if your mobile number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology. Service-related messages may include updates, alerts, and information (e.g., order updates, account alerts, etc.). Promotional messages may include promotions, specials, and other marketing offers (e.g., cart reminders).
You understand that you do not have to sign up for this program in order to make any purchases, and your consent is not a condition of any purchase with The Bettering Company. Your participation in this program is completely voluntary.

General
These Terms and any document incorporated by reference constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersede any previous terms between the parties in relation to such matters. The limitations, exclusions and restrictions in these Terms shall inure to the benefit of our licensors, successor, and assigns. These Terms are drafted in the English language and may be translated into other languages. The English language version of these Terms shall prevail if there is a conflict or inconsistency, or clarification required with other language versions. The headings in these Terms are for ease of reference only and shall be disregarded in construing or interpreting the Terms.
If we fail to enforce any provision of these Terms, that failure will not preclude us from enforcing either that provision (or any similar provision) on a later occasion. If any provision of these Terms is found by a
court to be invalid, we agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision and that other provisions remain in full force and effect. We may transfer all or part of our rights or duties under these Terms provided we take reasonable steps to ensure that your rights under these Terms are not prejudiced.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the state of Illinois. You and we both agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts in Illinois and stipulate to the fairness and convenience of proceedings in such courts for all disputes arising out of or relating to use of the Services.
