How People Opt In
Texts sent through Kinetic Coast Studios LLC's booking software go only to people who opted in on the web. On a business's booking, quote or waitlist form, or in their account, a person enters their mobile number and ticks an unchecked checkbox. Ticking it is never required to book. The software records the exact wording they agreed to, the time, the page and the browser.
Kinetic Coast's own test business, Kinetic Coast Studios (test), uses the same form (texts there go only to Kinetic Coast's own team, for testing). The screenshots below are from that form.
Exact Wording
The checkbox reads (with the business's name, here the test business):
Text me about this quote and future appointments with Kinetic Coast Studios (test) (confirmations, reminders, updates). Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Terms · Privacy
“Terms” and “Privacy” link to the software’s own terms and privacy policy, which include these texting terms.
On the booking form it starts “Text me about this booking and future appointments with”, and on the waitlist form “Text me about this waitlist spot and future appointments with”; the rest is the same.

After Opting In
The first text is a one-time confirmation:
Kinetic Coast Studios (test): You're signed up for appointment texts. Msg freq varies. Msg&data rates may apply. Reply HELP for help, STOP to cancel.
Replying STOP (or STOPALL, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT) stops all texts from that business; START opts back in; HELP sends help. Frequency varies with bookings, usually 2 to 6 texts per booking. No marketing texts.
