SMS Program Terms and Consent

Callpad Inc.

Callpad Inc. (“Callpad”) provides an AI phone receptionist for hair and beauty salons. When you call a salon that uses Callpad, the receptionist can send you text messages about your appointment on the salon’s behalf. This page explains what those messages are, how you consent to them, and how to stop them.

Who sends the messages

Messages are sent by Callpad Inc. on behalf of the salon you called. Every message identifies the salon and Callpad.

What we send

Transactional messages about your own appointment only: booking confirmations, reminders, reschedule or cancellation notices, and a link to complete your booking. We do not send marketing or promotional messages under this program.

How you consent

Consent is collected verbally during your call to the salon. Before any text is sent, the receptionist asks:

“Would it be okay if I send you a text at this number with your appointment confirmation? Message and data rates may apply, and you can reply STOP at any time to opt out.”

A text is only sent if you clearly agree. If you decline, no text is sent and your appointment details are confirmed on the call or by email. Consent is not a condition of booking. Calls are recorded, and your consent is logged with a timestamp against your phone number.

If you have opted out and want appointment texts again, text START to the salon’s number.

Message frequency

Message frequency varies, typically 1 to 3 messages per appointment.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply. Check with your mobile carrier for details. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

How to opt out

Reply STOP to any message. You will receive one confirmation text and no further messages from that number.

How to get help

Reply HELP to any message, email help@callpad.ai, or contact your salon directly.

Your information

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, other than service providers acting on our behalf to deliver messages.

Caller: Yes, that’s fine.

Receptionist: Great, I’ll send that over now.
