SMS TEXT MESSAGING TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: October 5, 2026

These SMS Text Messaging Terms of Service (“SMS Terms”) govern the text messaging program offered by Levine & Associates, PC, doing business as Levine Labor Law (“Levine Labor Law,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), under the name Levine Labor Law Text Messaging (the “Program”). By opting in to the Program, you agree to these SMS Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is available at www.levinelaborlaw.com/privacypolicy and is incorporated into these SMS Terms by reference.

I. Program Description

Service messages. If you opt in, Levine Labor Law will send you conversational and informational text messages related to your inquiry or legal matter. These may include responses to your questions, consultation scheduling and confirmations, appointment reminders, requests for information, documents, or electronic signatures, and general updates about the status of a matter in which we represent you.

Marketing messages. Only if you separately agree to receive them, Levine Labor Law may also send you recurring marketing text messages, such as firm news, updates about workplace rights and employment law, and invitations to webinars, community events, and similar programs. Marketing messages may be sent using automated technology.

II. How You Opt In

You may opt in to the Program by checking the text messaging consent box on a form on our Website, by giving written or verbal consent to a member of our staff, or by sending a text message to our office number, in which case we will reply to your message. When you opt in, you will receive a message confirming your enrollment. Your consent to receive text messages is optional. You are not required to agree to receive text messages, and in particular marketing messages, as a condition of retaining Levine Labor Law or purchasing any service.

III. Message Frequency and Costs

Message frequency varies depending on your interactions with us and, for clients, the needs of your matter. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile carrier plan. Levine Labor Law does not charge you for participating in the Program. You are responsible for any charges imposed by your carrier.

IV. How to Opt Out

You may cancel the Program at any time by replying STOP to any text message from us. We also recognize END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, QUIT, STOPALL, REVOKE, and OPTOUT as opt-out requests. After you opt out, we will send you one message confirming that you have been unsubscribed, and you will receive no further text messages from the Program unless you enroll again. You may also opt out by any other reasonable means, including by telling us by telephone or email, and we will honor your request promptly and within the time required by law. If you would like to stop receiving marketing messages but continue receiving service messages about your matter, simply tell us and we will update your preferences.

To rejoin the Program after opting out, reply START or UNSTOP, or contact us. If you are a current client and you opt out of text messages, we will continue to communicate with you about your matter by telephone, email, mail, or other appropriate means. Opting out of text messages does not end our representation.

V. Help

For help with the Program, reply HELP to any message from us or contact us at jackie@levinelaborlaw.com.

VI. Eligibility and Your Mobile Number

To participate in the Program, you must be at least 18 years of age and must be the account holder of the mobile number you provide or be authorized by the account holder to use it. If you change or give up your mobile number, please tell us promptly so that messages intended for you are not sent to someone else.

VII. Confidentiality and Appropriate Use of Text Messaging

Text messaging is a convenient way to stay in touch, but it is not a secure method of communication. Text messages may appear on a locked screen, may be stored by wireless carriers and on devices, and may be seen by anyone with access to your phone. Please do not send Social Security numbers, financial account numbers, passwords, medical records, or detailed descriptions of sensitive facts by text message. We may ask you to use a more secure method for that information.

If you are currently employed, please do not use a phone, phone number, or account provided by your employer to communicate with us, because your employer may be able to access those messages. Text messages exchanged with a client may become part of that client’s file.

Exchanging text messages with Levine Labor Law does not by itself create an attorney-client relationship, and contacting us by text does not stop any statute of limitations or other legal deadline. Our text messaging line is not monitored at all times. Please do not use text messages for urgent or time-sensitive matters, and do not rely on a text message to us to meet any deadline.

VIII. Message Delivery

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Message delivery depends on factors outside our control, including your device, your carrier, and network availability, and we do not guarantee that any message will be delivered or received on time.

IX. Privacy

Our collection and use of information in connection with the Program is governed by our Privacy Policy. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, except with service providers that help us operate the Program, solely for that purpose.

X. Changes to the Program and These SMS Terms

We may modify or discontinue the Program, or update these SMS Terms, at any time. When we update these SMS Terms, we will revise the “Last Updated” date above, and if a change is material, we will provide notice through the Website or by text message. Your continued participation in the Program after the effective date of an update means you accept the updated SMS Terms. If you do not agree to an update, you may opt out at any time as described above.

XI. Limitation of Liability

The Program is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, Levine Labor Law is not liable for any delay or failure in delivering a message, for any messages sent to a number you provided that is no longer assigned to you, or for any action you take or fail to take in reliance on a text message. Nothing in these SMS Terms limits any duty we owe to a client under our engagement agreement, the California Rules of Professional Conduct, or other applicable law.

XII. Governing Law

These SMS Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute arising from these SMS Terms or the Program shall be brought in the state or federal courts located in Orange County, California.
