Your opt-out request may generate either a confirmation text or a texted request to clarify the text message program to which it applies (if you have more than one). You acknowledge that the text message platform may not recognize and respond to unsubscribe requests that do not include the STOP keyword command and agree that K18 and its service providers will have no liability for failing to honor such requests.
