After you opt out, we may send a one-time confirmation message acknowledging your request. We may continue to send messages where permitted by law if they are necessary to provide a service you specifically request or for other non-marketing purposes, subject to applicable law and your communication preferences. The consent language displayed when you enroll in SMS communications forms part of your agreement regarding those communications.

If you later wish to receive marketing SMS messages again, you may opt in again through an available Theia enrollment method.
