Communications about products and services

Subject to your consent, we may arrange for you to receive by SMS or other means information about products, services and discounts available from us, from merchants who are part of the txt2buy network, and carefully selected third parties. These offers may come from us or from participating merchants.

If you prefer not to continue to receive offers from txt2buy which we think may be of interest to you, send a blank email to notxt2buyoffers@txt2buy.com.

If you do not wish to continue to share your information with participating merchants to enable them to send information and offers to you then send a blank email to nomerchantoffers@txt2buy.com (please note that if you continue to use the txt2buy service we will still need to share your details with relevant merchants for order fulfilment purposes see below for more information on who we disclose information to).
