SMS Terms & Conditions

Effective 18 July 2026

The programme

Profit Pals operates text messaging for home service businesses (for example plumbing companies). Messages relate to service requests and appointments: replies to your questions, booking confirmations, appointment reminders, notices when an appointment is moved or cancelled, a request for feedback after a visit, and a follow-up if you asked about a job but didn't finish booking.

This is not a marketing programme. We do not send promotions, offers, or advertising by text.

How you join

You join by texting the business's published phone number to ask about service. Sending that first message is your request to be contacted by text about it.

We never buy, rent, or upload phone number lists. The only way to receive our messages is to text the business first.

How often we message

Message frequency varies with your request. A typical service request involves a short back-and-forth to book, then a confirmation, a reminder before the visit, and one message afterwards.

Cost

Message and data rates may apply. We do not charge for the messages; your mobile carrier's standard rates apply.

How to stop

Reply STOP to any message and we will stop immediately. STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, END and QUIT also work. You will receive one confirmation from the carrier and then nothing further.

To start again, reply START or UNSTOP.

Note: texting the word cancel is treated as a request to cancel your appointment, not to unsubscribe — because that is almost always what people mean. To stop messages, use STOP.

How to get help

Reply HELP or INFO to any message for the business name, hours and opt-out instructions. You can also email hello@profit-pals.com.

Carriers

Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery is not guaranteed and supported carriers may change.

Emergencies

Do not use text messaging to report an emergency. If you smell gas, suspect a gas leak, or anyone is in danger, leave the building and call 911 or your gas company from a safe place.

Privacy

Your mobile number is used only to provide service to the business you contacted. We do not sell, rent, or share mobile numbers with third parties for their marketing. See the Privacy Policy.

Automated replies

Replies may be generated by an AI assistant, which can schedule, move, and cancel appointments. It does not quote prices or diagnose faults. A person at the business can read the conversation and take over at any time.
