SMS Terms & Messaging Program
Details of the text messages Competition Ready sends, how consent is collected, and how to manage or stop them at any time.
Last updated: October 28, 2026
Program Description
The Competition Ready Notifications program is operated by WAE Tech Inc d/b/a Competition Ready. It sends transactional text messages to people who use the Competition Ready platform, including competition directors and administrators, studio staff, and others who register for or sign documents for a competition. This is not a marketing or promotional messaging program. Messages sent under this program are limited to:
- Multi-factor authentication (MFA) and one-time passcodes (OTP) — single-use codes sent to a mobile phone to verify identity when signing in or before a sensitive account change is saved. Codes expire shortly after they are sent and can only be used once.
- Identity verification codes — a one-time code sent to a user who electronically signs a competition's terms and conditions or a waiver, confirming the signer's identity. These are sent only when a signing session is started.
- Account notifications (opt-in only) — optional text notices related to your account and registrations, such as registration updates, schedule updates, balance-due reminders, and, for competition directors, notices when studio activity needs attention (for example, a studio joining, pre-registering, or finalizing entries). You receive these only if you have opted in from your notification preferences.
How Consent Is Collected
Mobile number collection and SMS consent happen directly within the Competition Ready platform at the point a message is relevant, never as a blanket or bundled opt-in:
- Account security (MFA): When a user chooses SMS as a multi-factor authentication method in their account security settings, they enter their mobile number and confirm a checkbox stating: "I agree to receive text messages containing one-time security codes from Competition Ready to verify my identity. Message and data rates may apply." Consent is confirmed when the user successfully enters the verification code sent to that number.
- Agreement / waiver e-signature: When a studio electronically signs a competition's terms and conditions, they enter a mobile number and confirm a checkbox stating: "I agree to receive a one-time text message with a verification code to complete my electronic signature. Message and data rates may apply."
- Competition update notifications: Where a competition offers optional SMS updates, a studio user opts in from their notification preferences with a checkbox stating: "I agree to receive transactional text updates (such as balance-due reminders and schedule changes) from this competition via Competition Ready. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to cancel, HELP for help."
☐ I agree to receive transactional text updates from Competition Ready. Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out at any time, or HELP for help. See our Privacy Policy and SMS Terms.
