Effective date: October 18, 2026

Part A - SMS Terms

Web address: https://www.wvas.biz/sms-terms. The same terms appear in Terms of Service section 5.

Program 1: WVAS Resume Codes (customers; optional)

What it is. When you save an unfinished appraisal request on our website, you choose how to receive the code that lets you resume it: by email (the default) or, once text delivery is offered on the form, by text message. If you choose text, we send your code to the mobile number you entered. The code can be reused for 30 days after it is issued. No account or password is needed.

How you opt in. Choose "Text message" and check the separate consent box, which is not pre-checked. Consent is not a condition of requesting an appraisal or of using any of our services. Email is always available without text consent. The exact consent wording appears next to the box on the inquiry form https://pp.wvas.biz.

What we send. Transactional messages only: your code and how long it is valid, or a replacement code if you ask for one. No marketing or promotional texts.
Sample message: "WVAS: Your code to resume your appraisal request is 123456. Valid 30 days. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."

Message frequency: texts are sent only when you request a code - usually one message per request, plus a replacement code if you ask for one (about 1-2 messages per request).

Message and data rates may apply.

Opt out (STOP). Reply STOP to stop WVAS Resume Codes texts to your number. We record your opt-out and you receive one confirmation text; after that we send no further texts to that number unless you opt in again. You can still get your code by email.

Opting back in (START). Replying START (or UNSTOP) re-enables text delivery to your number. We will text you a code again only after you choose "Text message" and check the consent box again on our website for a request; that new consent is recorded with the wording version you agreed to.

Help (HELP). Reply HELP for help, or contact West Valley Appraisal Services at 602-717-8450 or appraisals@wvas.email.

Program 2: WVAS Inquiry Alerts (internal staff alerts; not for customers)

What it is. An internal, transactional alert sent by text to West Valley Appraisal Services' own business phone, 602-717-8450, when a new private-party inquiry is submitted through our website. This is the only alert destination. The alerts contain no customer personal information. Customers and the public are never enrolled in this program.
Staff notification: WVAS staff receive an internal notification of new inquiries; it contains no customer details.
Message frequency: varies, about one message per new inquiry. Message and data rates may apply. The recipient may reply STOP to stop or HELP for help.
Consent. The owner's opt-in for 602-717-8450 is kept as an electronic consent record (no signed-form image is used or published).

Terms for both programs

Provider. Messages are sent through our SMS delivery provider and the wireless carriers it uses.
Carrier liability. Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Privacy. Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text-messaging opt-in data and consent are not shared with any third parties, except the service providers that deliver our messages for us (our SMS delivery provider and wireless carriers), which may use it only for that purpose. See our Privacy Policy (https://www.wvas.biz/privacy).

Part B - SMS Opt-In and Consent (how people opt in)

Web address: https://www.wvas.biz/sms-terms (this page).

1. Customers: WVAS Resume Codes (optional)

How opt-in works. On our online inquiry form https://pp.wvas.biz, an email address is required and a phone number is optional. When you save an unfinished request, you choose how to receive your code: Email (the default) or, once text delivery is offered on the form, Text message. Text delivery requires a separate checkbox that is not pre-checked and is shown only when you choose Text message. Checking the box is separate from submitting the form. Consent is not a condition of requesting an appraisal, and email always works without it.

Consent wording shown next to the checkbox: "Yes, text my code to the mobile number above (WVAS Resume Codes). West Valley Appraisal Services will text only my code for this appraisal request (and a replacement code if I ask for one), about 1-2 messages per request. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of requesting an appraisal; you can get your code by email instead. See our Terms of Service and Privacy Policy."

What we send: only the code for that request and how long it is valid (30 days), or a replacement code if you ask for one. About 1-2 messages per request. No marketing.
Sample message: "WVAS: Your code to resume your appraisal request is 123456. Valid 30 days. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help."
Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Replying START re-enables texts, and a new code is texted only after you choose Text message and consent again on our website.

Electronic consent records we keep: the time of consent, the exact consent wording and its version identifier (with a hash of the text), the source and submission context (web form, request), and protected (hashed) forms of the mobile number and network address, plus any STOP, change of number or switch to email. No signed-form image is used or published. See the Privacy Policy.

2. Staff: WVAS Inquiry Alerts (internal; not for customers)

WVAS Inquiry Alerts sends automated, transactional alerts with no customer personal information to West Valley Appraisal Services' own business phone, 602-717-8450, when a new inquiry is submitted. This is the only alert number. Customers are never enrolled, and the public cannot subscribe.

Consent statement (owner, recorded electronically):
"I agree to receive WVAS Inquiry Alerts: automated, transactional text messages from West Valley Appraisal Services at 602-717-8450 when a new inquiry is submitted on the WVAS website.
