EquiLife, Inc.
Mobile Message Program Terms and Conditions
Equilife, Inc. (hereinafter, “we,” “us,” “our”) is offering a mobile messaging program (the “Program”) through Stodge Inc. d/b/a Postscript, which you (“User”) agree to use and participate in subject to these Mobile Messaging Program Terms and Conditions (“Mobile Messaging Agreement”). By opting in to or participating in this Program, you accept and agree to these terms and conditions, including, without limitation, your agreement to resolve any disputes with us through binding, individual-only arbitration, as detailed in the “Mobile Messaging Program Dispute Resolution” section below. This Agreement is limited to the Program and is not intended to modify other Terms of Use or Privacy Policy that may govern the relationship between you and EquiLife in other contexts.
Further, you authorize your wireless carrier to use or disclose information about your account and your wireless device, if available, to EquiLife or its service provider(s), such as Postscript, for the duration of your business relationship, solely to help them identify you or your wireless device and to prevent fraud. See our Privacy Policy (https://equi.life/pages/privacy-policy) for how we treat your data.
Please note that regardless of whether you sign up for the mobile messaging program for promotional messages, we may send strictly account-related text messages to you when necessary for your requested order to be progressed, such as to remind you to register your purchased at-home lab kit or to schedule a call with a EquiLife Wellness Coach to discuss your lab results.
2. User Opt Out: If you do not wish to continue participating in the Program or no longer agree to this Mobile Messaging Agreement, you agree to reply STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT 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. You understand and agree that the foregoing options are the only reasonable methods of opting out. You acknowledge that our text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that alter, change, or modify the STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE or QUIT keyword commands, such as the use of different spellings or the addition of other words or phrases to the command, and agree that EquiLife and our service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests. 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 verbally requesting one of our employees to remove you from our list, is not a reasonable means of opting out.
3. Program Description: Without limiting the scope of the Program, users that opt into the Program can expect to receive messages concerning the marketing, promotion, payment, delivery and sale of our dietary supplements, labs, coaching services and related offerings available on the https://equi.life/ website. Messages may include checkout reminders.
4. Cost and Frequency: Message and data rates may apply. You agree to receive messages periodically at our discretion. Daily, weekly, and monthly message frequency will vary. The Program involves recurring mobile messages, and additional mobile messages may be sent periodically based on your interaction with us.
5. Support Instructions: For support regarding the Program, text “HELP” to the number you received messages from or email us at support@equi.life. Please note that the use of this email address is not an acceptable method of opting out of the program. Opt outs must be submitted in accordance with the procedures set forth above.
6. MMS Disclosure: The Program will send SMS TMs (terminating messages) if your mobile device does not support MMS messaging.
7. 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. We will not be liable for any delays or failures in the receipt of any mobile messages connected with this Program. Delivery of mobile messages is subject to effective transmission from your wireless service provider/network operator and is outside of our control. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered mobile messages.
8. Participant Requirements: You must have a wireless device of your own, capable of two-way messaging, be using a participating wireless carrier, and be a wireless service subscriber with text messaging service. Not all cellular phone providers carry the necessary service to participate. Check your phone capabilities for specific text messaging instructions.
9. Age Restriction: You may not use or engage with the Platform if you are under thirteen (13) years of age. If you use or engage with the Platform and are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) years of age, you must have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to do so. By using or engaging with the Platform, you acknowledge and agree that you are not under the age of thirteen (13) years, are between the ages of thirteen (13) and eighteen (18) and have your parent’s or legal guardian’s permission to use or engage with the Platform, or are of adult age in your jurisdiction. By using or engaging with the Platform, you also acknowledge and agree that you are permitted by your jurisdiction’s applicable law to use and/or engage with the Platform.
10. Prohibited Content: You acknowledge and agree to not send any prohibited content over the Platform. Prohibited content includes:
- Any fraudulent, libelous, defamatory, scandalous, threatening, harassing, or stalking activity;
- Objectionable content, including profanity, obscenity, lasciviousness, violence, bigotry, hatred, and discrimination on the basis of race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation, or age;
- Pirated computer programs, viruses, worms, Trojan horses, or other harmful code;
- Any product, service, or promotion that is unlawful where such product, service, or promotion thereof is received;
- Any content that implicates and/or references personal health information that is protected by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) or the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health Act (“HITEC” Act); and
- Any other content that is prohibited by applicable law in the jurisdiction from which the message is sent.
11. Mobile Messaging Program Dispute Resolution: In the event that there is a dispute, claim, or controversy between you and EquiLife, or between you and Stodge Inc. d/b/a Postscript or any other third-party service provider acting on our behalf to transmit the mobile messages within the scope of the Program, arising out of or relating to federal or state statutory claims, common law claims, this Mobile Messaging Agreement, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, including the determination of the scope or applicability of this agreement to arbitrate, such dispute, claim, or controversy will be, to the fullest extent permitted by law, determined by arbitration in Wilmington, Delaware before one arbitrator.
The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which EquiLife’s principal place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration.
THE PARTIES AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY VIA ARBITRATION AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION PROCEEDING. Further, unless both parties agree otherwise in a signed writing, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

Insofar as you are a New Jersey resident, you agree that mobile messages sent by us in direct response to mobile messages or requests from you (including but are not limited to response to keywords, opt-in, help or stop requests and shipping notifications) shall not constitute an “unsolicited telemarketing sales call” or “telemarketing sales call” for purposes of New Jersey Statute Title 56, Chapter 8 (including but not limited to section 56:8-128.), to the extent the law is otherwise relevant and applicable. Additionally, in efforts to comply with section 56:8-128, we will state our company name (or any D/B/A of ours) at the start of every message we send to you.

If the area code for the phone number used to opt-into the Program is not an Oklahoma area code, or, in the alternative, if you do not affirmatively send written notice to us advising that you reside or are currently located in Oklahoma, you agree that the requirements of the Oklahoma Telephone Solicitation Act do not apply to you, and further agree that you will not assert that you are an Oklahoma resident, nor assert you are located in the state of Oklahoma at the time of receiving a communication from us. Insofar as you are an Oklahoma resident or are otherwise subject to the laws of Oklahoma, you agree: (1) that mobile messages sent by us in direct response to any form of messages or requests from you (including but are not limited to responses to Keywords, opt-in, help or stop requests and shipping notifications) shall not constitute a “telephonic sales call” or “commercial telephone solicitation phone call” for purposes of Oklahoma Statutes Title 15 (including but not limited to sections 775C.1, 775C.2, 775C.3, 775C.4 and 775C.5), to the extent the law is otherwise relevant and applicable; (2) that you have only opted-in to the Program with one phone number and that we can rely on the fact that mobile messages sent to any other phone number are being sent to other persons; and (3) that you will opt-out of the Program prior to any termination of the phone number used to opt-into the Program and that without such opt-out we can rely on the fact that messages sent to the number are sent to you with your consent as described above.
13. Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Mobile Messaging Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Mobile Messaging 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. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Mobile Messaging Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Mobile Messaging Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Mobile Messaging Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Mobile Messaging Agreement shall be communicated to you.
