Friendly Reminders

We are NOT allowed to promote the sale or consumption of alcohol, CBD, tobacco, firearms, gambling, or hate. We are also unable to use the word FREE in text messages… instead let’s use words like COMPLIMENTARY, ON US, NO CHARGE!

We are NOT allowed to use the term HAPPY HOUR – instead we can use terms like POWER HOUR, Limited Time Only, 3 Hours Only, etc.!

We also encourage replacing words like WINNER or WIN with words like Victor, Champion, or First Place.

If you are unsure on verbiage or need further clarification please reach out to your Account Manager and they can guide you so we stay within compliance.
