Please read these Terms of Service carefully. By creating a Rally Text account or using the service, you agree to be bound by these terms. If you are using Rally Text on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

1. Agreement to Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a legally binding agreement between you ("you," "your," "User") and Rally Text, Inc. ("Rally Text," "we," "us," "our") governing your use of the Rally Text SMS communication platform and related web services (collectively, the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service you confirm that you are at least 18 years old, that you have read and understood these Terms, and that you agree to be bound by them together with our Privacy Policy.

2. The Service

Rally Text provides SMS-based team communication tools for youth sports organizations, including:

  • Outbound broadcast messaging from coaches to team members
  • Two-way SMS communication between coaches and families (Connected plan)
  • Keyword-based commands for broadcasts, attendance tracking, and practice management
  • Safe Sport compliance features including guardian auto-CC on athlete messages
  • A2P 10DLC compliant messaging infrastructure
  • Optional add-ons: Absence Tracker, Calendar & Reminders, Practice Summaries
  • Web dashboard for team management, message logs, and audit exports

The Service is provided "as is" and we reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue features at any time with reasonable notice.

3. Accounts & Eligibility

Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal authority to enter into contracts to create a Rally Text account. If you are registering on behalf of a nonprofit, club, or league, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

Account registration

You agree to provide accurate, complete, and current information when creating your account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us immediately at hello@rallytext.org if you suspect unauthorized access.

One account per team

Each Rally Text team is associated with one primary phone number and one subscription. Multiple coaches may be added to a single team — you do not need separate accounts per coach.

4. Subscriptions & Billing

Plans

Rally Text offers the following base plans:

  • Broadcast — $14/month or $49/season. Send-only outbound messaging to team members.
  • Connected — $24/month or $89/season. Full two-way messaging including inbound replies from families.

Optional add-ons (Absence Tracker, Calendar & Reminders, Practice Summaries) are available individually or as bundles. Current pricing is displayed at rallytext.org/#pricing.

Billing cycles

Monthly plans are billed on a recurring monthly basis beginning on the date of purchase. Season pass plans are a one-time payment covering a single season (approximately 6 months). Season passes do not auto-renew.

NICA league discount

Teams affiliated with a NICA (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) league receive 20% off any plan. Discount codes are provided by your league director. Discount codes are valid for one use per team and expire 60 days after issuance.

Overage

Season pass plans include a message allotment. If your team exceeds this allotment, additional messages are available in blocks of 500 for $4 per block. Monthly plans include unlimited messages. We will notify you before processing overage charges.

Payment

All payments are processed by Stripe. By providing a payment method you authorize Rally Text to charge the applicable fees on the billing schedule you selected. Prices are in USD. Applicable taxes may be added.

5. Refund Policy

14-day full refund guarantee. If you are not satisfied with Rally Text, contact us within 14 days of your first payment for a complete refund — no questions asked.

  • The 14-day refund window begins on the date of your first payment for each subscription or add-on
  • After 14 days, payments are non-refundable except where required by applicable law
  • Season pass refunds are available only within the 14-day window; no pro-rated refunds are issued after that period
  • Add-on subscriptions cancelled within 14 days of purchase are fully refunded; add-ons cancelled after 14 days will not be charged for the next billing period but no refund is issued for the current period
  • To request a refund, email hello@rallytext.org with the subject "Refund Request" from the email on your account

Refunds are typically processed within 5–10 business days and will appear on your original payment method.

6. Acceptable Use

You agree to use Rally Text only for lawful, legitimate team communication purposes. You must not:

  • Send unsolicited, spam, or promotional messages unrelated to your team's sports activities
  • Harass, abuse, threaten, or harm any team member, athlete, or guardian
  • Send messages that violate any applicable law, including laws regarding minors
  • Use Rally Text to solicit funds, sell products, or conduct commercial activities unrelated to your team
  • Attempt to bypass, disable, or exploit any technical controls or compliance features of the Service
  • Share access credentials with individuals outside your authorized coaching staff
  • Transmit content that is obscene, offensive, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate for a youth sports context
  • Use Rally Text to contact individuals who have opted out (replied STOP)
  • Impersonate another coach, team, or Rally Text itself
  • Scrape, reverse engineer, or otherwise attempt to extract Rally Text's source code or infrastructure

Violation of these rules may result in immediate suspension or termination of your account without refund.

7. SMS Messaging Terms

A2P 10DLC compliance

Rally Text operates as a registered Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging service under the CTIA and mobile carrier 10DLC framework. By using Rally Text you agree to operate within the guidelines of this framework, including:

  • Sending only messages relevant to your registered use case (youth sports communications)
  • Including the required brand prefix and opt-out language in outbound messages (Rally Text handles this automatically)
  • Not sending content that violates carrier content policies (Rally Text automatically blocks carrier-flagged phrases)
  • Maintaining accurate registration information for your team

Opt-in and consent

You are responsible for ensuring that all team members, parents, and guardians have knowingly joined your Rally Text team. Rally Text provides the verification flow, but you are responsible for ensuring only appropriate individuals are invited and added to your team roster.

Opt-out

Any recipient may reply STOP at any time to stop receiving messages from your team. You must not attempt to re-add or re-message any individual who has replied STOP, except after they have affirmatively replied START.

Message content

You are solely responsible for the content of messages you send through Rally Text. Rally Text is a conduit and is not responsible for the content of user-generated messages, except where the platform automatically adds required compliance text.

8. Safe Sport & Minor Protection

Rally Text is designed for youth sports teams and includes built-in Safe Sport protections. You acknowledge and agree to the following:

  • No direct athlete messaging. Rally Text's auto-CC feature ensures every message directed at a minor athlete automatically includes a verified parent or guardian. You agree not to attempt to circumvent this feature.
  • Appropriate content only. All messages must be appropriate for a youth sports context. Content must comply with your organization's Safe Sport policies and applicable laws protecting minors.
  • Authorized staff only. Only background-checked, authorized coaching staff should have access to the head coach or coach accounts. You are responsible for managing access when staff changes occur.
  • Audit log. Rally Text maintains message logs for compliance purposes. You agree that these logs may be used in the event of a Safe Sport investigation or regulatory review.

Rally Text's compliance features supplement, but do not replace, your organization's Safe Sport training, policies, and reporting obligations.

9. Intellectual Property

Rally Text's IP

The Rally Text platform, including its software, design, trademarks, logos, and documentation, is owned by Rally Text, Inc. and protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from Rally Text's materials without our written permission.

Your content

You retain ownership of the messages and content you send through Rally Text. By using the Service you grant Rally Text a limited, non-exclusive license to store, process, and transmit your content solely as necessary to provide the Service. We do not claim ownership of your messages.

Feedback

If you provide feedback or suggestions about Rally Text, you grant us the right to use that feedback without restriction or compensation to you.

10. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Rally Text does not warrant that:

  • The Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure
  • Messages will be delivered within any specific timeframe or at all (carrier delivery is subject to third-party factors outside our control)
  • The Service will meet your specific requirements
  • Any defects or errors will be corrected

SMS delivery is subject to mobile carrier availability, signal conditions, and carrier policies. Rally Text is not responsible for messages delayed or undelivered due to carrier issues.

11. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RALLY TEXT AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE.

IN NO EVENT SHALL RALLY TEXT'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID RALLY TEXT IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM OR (B) $100.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, so the above limitations may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Rally Text, Inc. and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to:

  • Your use of the Service in violation of these Terms
  • Messages you send through the Service
  • Your violation of any applicable law or third-party rights
  • Any misrepresentation you make in connection with the Service

13. Termination

By you

You may cancel your Rally Text subscription at any time from the dashboard or by emailing hello@rallytext.org. Cancellation stops future billing. Refunds follow the Refund Policy above.

By Rally Text

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account immediately if we determine, in our sole discretion, that you have violated these Terms, including the Acceptable Use Policy or Safe Sport requirements. We will provide notice where reasonably practicable. Termination for cause does not entitle you to a refund.

Effect of termination

Upon termination, your access to the Service and your team's data will end. We will retain your data for 30 days following termination, after which it will be deleted except where retention is required by law. You may request a data export before your account is closed.

14. Governing Law & Disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any dispute arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts.

Before initiating formal legal proceedings, you agree to contact us at hello@rallytext.org and attempt to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.

15. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes by:

  • Sending an email to the address on your account at least 14 days before the changes take effect, and/or
  • Posting a prominent notice in the Rally Text dashboard

Continued use of the Service after the effective date of updated Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes. If you disagree with the updated Terms, you may cancel your account before the effective date.
