By providing your phone number and opting in to receive SMS, RCS, or text messages from Avega, you expressly consent to receive recurring automated marketing and transactional messages at the phone number you provide. Consent is not a condition of purchase. Message and data rates may apply. Message frequency varies. You may opt in to receive promotional SMS/RCS messages through a clear, separate consent mechanism during account creation or through your account settings. Your consent to receive marketing messages is separate from your consent to receive transactional messages. We maintain records of all opt-in consents, including the date, time, method of consent, and the specific language presented at the time of consent.

You will be removed from marketing emails within 10 business days. Transactional emails (receipts, security alerts) will continue. Push Notifications: Disable through your device settings or in-app notification preferences. You can selectively disable specific notification types (workout reminders, community updates, marketing) while keeping others active. In-App Messages: Manage through your account notification settings. We process all opt-out requests within 24 hours for SMS/RCS and push notifications, and within 10 business days for email. We maintain a suppression list of all opted-out numbers and email addresses and scrub against this list before every send.

Avega does not make telemarketing calls. For SMS/RCS messages, we observe quiet hours and do not send promotional messages between 9:00 PM and 8:00 AM in the recipient’s local time zone, in compliance with TCPA guidelines. Transactional messages (security alerts, payment confirmations) are exempt from quiet hours.
