Message frequency varies and you may opt-out from receiving the Services at any time.

Upon your request to sign-up for the Service, you will receive two (2) text messages as part of the process confirming your desire to opt-into the Program (first an opt-in request message, and once you have replied “Yes” you will receive a sign-up confirmation message).

By opting-in to the Service, you confirm that you are providing a valid phone number and that you are the subscriber to the provided phone number or that you are the customary user of that phone number on a family and/or business plan.

If you want to join again, just sign up as you did the first time and we will start sending messages to you again. If you have subscribed to other Schleich mobile message programs and wish to cancel, except where applicable law requires otherwise, you will need to opt out separately from those programs by following the instructions provided in their respective mobile terms.

We may change any telephone number we use to operate the Service at any time and will notify you of these changes.
