SMS Messaging Program

Ande.ai, Inc. (“Ande”) provides an event-inquiry platform for hospitality venues. When a consumer submits a private-event inquiry on a venue's website and opts in to SMS, Ande helps the venue send confirmations, answers to questions about the venue and event, and follow-ups related to that inquiry. SMS messages are sent only to users who have opted in.

Venue inquiry SMS program

Users may receive SMS messages related to a private-event inquiry they submitted, including inquiry confirmations, answers to their questions about the venue or event, and follow-ups while the venue's events team reviews the request. These messages are transactional or operational in nature and are sent only after the user has provided consent on the venue's inquiry form.

Applicable message categories include:

  • Inquiry confirmations
  • Responses to questions about the venue, event space, or event details
  • Follow-ups about the submitted inquiry
  • Operational updates related to the inquiry

We do not use this SMS program to send third-party marketing messages. Messages are limited to the inquiry the user submitted.

Who receives messages

SMS messages are sent to adults who submit a private-event inquiry on a participating venue's website and who voluntarily opt in by checking the SMS consent checkbox on that inquiry form.

We do not send SMS messages to purchased, rented, or scraped contact lists. Recipients must provide their own phone number and affirmatively opt in.

How users opt in

Consumers opt in on a venue's public event-inquiry form, which is embedded on the venue's website through Ande's inquiry widget. The form collects contact information and event details. Before submitting, the user may optionally check an unchecked SMS consent checkbox that names Ande and explains the message type, frequency, rates, STOP and HELP instructions, and legal links. The checkbox is not pre-selected, is separate from any terms acceptance, and is not required to submit the inquiry.

To opt in, a user:

  1. Opens the venue's event inquiry form on the venue website.
  2. Enters contact information, including a mobile phone number.
  3. Completes event details (date, guest count, and other fields as configured).
  4. Reviews the optional SMS consent checkbox and selects it if they want text-message follow-ups.
  5. Submits the inquiry.

Users can later opt out by replying STOP to any SMS message from the program. Consent language shown in the application:

By checking this box, I agree to receive SMS messages from Ande and the venue related to this event inquiry, including confirmations, answers to my questions, and follow-ups about my inquiry. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help. Consent is not required to submit an inquiry. See Ande's Privacy Policy and Terms of Service.

Privacy Policy and Terms of Service are linked on the inquiry form.
