Text Message Terms
Effective October 1, 2026
1. The program
MERRIK Family Notifications are text messages from MERRIK, a private family-only web app. They remind family members about things waiting in the app: family movie nights, household and home-renovation task updates, appointment and prescription-refill reminders (for family members and pets), household budget reminders, and family status alerts such as a family member leaving home or arriving. Texts never contain medical or financial details. There is no marketing.
2. Who can join, and how
Only family members with a MERRIK account can join. Each person opts in themselves, signed in to their own account, by entering their mobile number in Settings → Notifications and ticking a consent box that is never pre-ticked. Joining is optional; MERRIK works fully without it. See what the opt-in looks like.
3. How often
Message frequency varies with the notifications you choose; usually a few messages per week. MERRIK sets a daily limit for each person so that no one is ever flooded, and the family's account owner adjusts it when a situation calls for more.
4. Cost
MERRIK never charges for texts. Message and data rates may apply according to your mobile plan.
5. Stopping
Reply STOP to any MERRIK text to cancel. You will receive one message confirming you are unsubscribed, and then no further texts. You can also switch text notifications off in Settings → Notifications. To rejoin, reply START or switch them back on.
6. Help
Reply HELP to any MERRIK text for help, or email support@merrikecosystem.com.
7. Delivery
Mobile carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Texts may not reach you if your phone is off or out of coverage, or if your carrier does not support them.
8. Your number and privacy
Your mobile number and consent are never sold or shared with third parties for marketing or promotional purposes. See the Privacy Policy.
9. Changes
If these terms change, the new version will be posted on this page with a new effective date.
