SMS Terms
Effective date: October 22, 2026
These SMS Terms describe the "Marinerreview Account Alerts" text message program operated by Mariner Finance LLC ("Marinerreview," "we," "us," or "our"), 8110 Corporate Drive, Nottingham, MD 21236. They apply only if you choose to join the program. They supplement our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
1. Program name and description
The program is called Marinerreview Account Alerts. If you opt in, we send automated text messages to your mobile number about your Marinerreview family history account. The messages are for account notifications only:
- registration confirmations and welcome notices;
- account notices, such as changes to your account or a reminder to finish setting it up;
- security alerts, such as a sign-in from a new device or a password reset code;
- customer-service replies to questions that you sent to us.
We do not send marketing or promotional text messages under this program.
2. Who sends the messages
Messages are sent by Mariner Finance LLC, on its own behalf only. We do not send messages on behalf of other companies, and we do not let anyone else use your number to contact you.
3. How to join
You can join by completing the Marinerreview registration form on our Site, or by using the form on our opt-in page. The form shows two separate checkboxes, and both are unticked until you tick them yourself:
- a required box to accept the Terms of Use and Privacy Policy, which is needed to register; and
- an optional box to receive account-notification text messages from us.
To join the text program you must tick the optional box and provide your mobile number. You can complete registration without ticking it. If you leave it unticked, we will not text you, and you will still receive account communications by email.
Consent language shown at sign-up
This is the exact wording shown next to the optional checkbox on our sign-up form and on our opt-in page:
Optional. I agree to receive automated account-notification text messages from Mariner Finance LLC (Marinerreview) at the mobile number I provided: registration confirmations, account notices, security alerts and customer-service replies. These messages are not marketing. Consent is not a condition of registering or of any purchase or service. Msg frequency varies, up to 4 msgs/month. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help. See our SMS Terms and Privacy Policy.
We do not send marketing or promotional messages on this program.
4. Consent is optional and not a condition of anything
Your agreement to receive text messages is not a condition of registering for an account, of any purchase, or of any service. You can use all of the Service without joining the program. By opting in, you confirm that you are the subscriber or customary user of the mobile number you gave us, that you are at least 18, and that you agree to receive automated texts at that number. You can withdraw your consent whenever you wish, as explained below.
5. Message frequency
Message frequency varies depending on your account activity, and you will receive up to 4 messages per month. In some months you may receive none. Reply messages you request, such as the answer to HELP, are not counted as extra marketing and are sent only when you ask.
6. Cost
Message and data rates may apply. Your mobile carrier may charge you for sending or receiving text messages according to your plan. We do not charge a fee for the program itself. Check with your carrier if you have questions about your plan.
7. How to opt out: STOP
You can cancel at any time. Reply STOP to any message from us. The following keywords also work and have the same effect: STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END, and QUIT. Keywords are not case-sensitive. After you send a stop keyword, we send one confirmation message and then no further messages unless you opt in again. You may also opt out on our opt-out page, or by emailing [email protected] or calling (917) 563-6535 during business hours. Opt-out requests by text are honored immediately. If you opt out, your account stays active, and we may continue to send account email.
To rejoin after opting out, reply START or YES to a prior message thread, or opt in again using the form on the Site.
8. How to get help: HELP
Reply HELP to any message and we will respond with our support details. You can also reach us at [email protected] or (917) 563-6535, Monday–Friday, 9:00 AM–6:00 PM.

11. Supported carriers and liability
The program is available on most major U.S. mobile carriers. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery depends on your coverage, your device, and your carrier, and we cannot guarantee that every message will arrive on time or at all. Do not rely on text messages as your only way to learn about security events; you can always check your account directly.
12. Availability: United States only
The program is intended for mobile numbers in the United States. We cannot send messages to numbers outside the United States, and you should not enroll a number that you do not use or are not authorized to use.
13. Privacy of your mobile information
We collect your mobile number, a record of your opt-in (the date, time, and wording you agreed to), and the content and status of messages we send. We use this only to operate the program, confirm your consent, deliver and troubleshoot messages, protect the security of your account, and comply with the law. Details about how we handle personal information generally are in our Privacy Policy.
No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. All of the above categories exclude text messaging originator opt-in data and consent; this information will not be shared with any third parties.
Messages are transmitted over the facilities of your mobile carrier and the delivery systems we use to send them, and these systems process message content only to deliver it to you.
14. Changing your number
If you change or give up your mobile number, please update your account or opt out first so that messages are not sent to the next person who receives the number. If we learn that a number has been reassigned, we will stop sending messages to it. If you receive a message intended for someone else, reply STOP and let us know at [email protected].
15. Your responsibilities
You agree to give us a correct mobile number that you control, to keep your account details current, and to tell us promptly if your number changes or if you lose the device. You are responsible for any charges your carrier makes for receiving messages. Do not forward verification codes to anyone.
16. Changes to the program or these terms
We may modify, suspend, or end the program, or update these SMS Terms, at any time. When we make material changes, we will post the new version here with an updated effective date and, where required, notify you. If you keep receiving messages after a change, you accept it; if you do not agree, reply STOP. We may also stop sending messages to you if we believe the number is invalid or if the messages are being misused.
17. Related terms
Your use of the program is also governed by our Terms of Use, including the sections on limitation of liability, governing law in the State of Maryland, and dispute resolution, and by our Privacy Policy. If these SMS Terms conflict with the Terms of Use about text messages, these SMS Terms control for the program.
