Schedule, confirm, and provide appliance repair and related services
Communicate with you about appointments, quotes, invoices, and service updates
Send text message (SMS) notifications and updates related to your service request, when you have opted in
Send maintenance reminders and promotional offers, only where you have separately opted in to marketing communications
Respond to inquiries and provide customer support

3. SMS / Text Messaging Terms

The Bargain Busters offers SMS text messaging to communicate with customers about scheduling, service updates, quotes, and related business communications. Our full SMS Terms and Conditions are available at https://thebargainbusters.com/sms-terms.

3.1 Consent

We treat two kinds of text messaging separately, and each requires its own opt-in.

Service and transactional messages. When you provide your mobile number and opt in through our website, a service form, or in person, you consent to receive text messages from The Bargain Busters at that number regarding your service request. This includes appointment confirmations, technician arrival notifications, quotes, and invoice or payment notices.

Marketing and promotional messages. Maintenance reminders, seasonal offers, and other promotional texts are sent only to customers who have provided prior express written consent by separately opting in, through a checkbox on our website or another written method. Verbally telling us you are willing to receive texts is not treated as consent for marketing messages.

Consent to receive SMS messages of any kind is not a condition of purchasing any goods or services. You may withdraw consent at any time by replying STOP.

3.2 Existing Customers

Being a past or current customer does not by itself enroll you in our text messaging program. We do not send promotional text messages to customers who have not affirmatively opted in.

3.3 No Third-Party Sharing of SMS Information

SMS consent is not shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing purposes. No mobile information collected as part of the SMS consent process, including opt-in status and phone numbers, will be shared with any third parties or affiliates. This information is used solely by Vander Liquidations LLC (dba The Bargain Busters) to communicate with you about your service request. We do not use purchased lists or third-party lead lists to send SMS messages.

3.4 SMS Terms of Service

By opting into SMS from a web form or other medium, you are agreeing to receive SMS messages from Vander Liquidations LLC (dba The Bargain Busters). Message frequency varies. Message and data rates may apply. See our Privacy Policy at https://thebargainbusters.com/privacy-policy and our SMS Terms at https://thebargainbusters.com/sms-terms. Reply HELP for help. Reply STOP to any message to opt out.

3.5 Types of Messages You May Receive

By opting in, you may receive text messages such as:

Appointment confirmations, reminders, and scheduling updates
Technician arrival and ETA notifications
Quote and estimate follow-ups
Service status updates and invoice or payment notifications
Maintenance reminders and seasonal offers, only if you separately opt in to marketing messages

3.6 Standard Messaging Disclosures

Message Frequency: Message frequency varies based on your service activity.
Message and Data Rates: Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile carrier and plan.
Opt-Out: You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any text message. You will receive a one-time confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and you will no longer receive SMS messages from us unless you opt in again.
Help: Reply HELP to any text message for assistance, or contact us at 602-616-4338 or info@thebargainbusters.com.
Carriers: Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.

4. How We Share Your Information

We do not sell your personal information. We may share your information with:

Service Providers: Third-party vendors who help us operate our business, such as our scheduling and customer management software, our SMS and phone service provider (RingCentral), payment processors, and parts suppliers for order fulfillment. These providers are given only the information necessary to perform their function, are contractually obligated to protect it, and, as stated in Section 3.3, are never given SMS opt-in data or phone numbers for their own marketing use.
Legal Requirements: When required by law, subpoena, or to protect the rights, property, or safety of The Bargain Busters, our customers, or others.
Business Transfers: In connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of business assets, customer information may be transferred as part of that transaction.

5. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising

Our website uses cookies, pixels, and similar technologies to understand how visitors use the site and to measure the performance of our advertising.

We work with the following categories of partners:

Analytics providers, including Google Analytics, which help us understand site traffic and visitor behavior.
Advertising platforms, including Google Ads, Google Local Services, and Yelp, which may use cookies or similar technologies to measure ad performance and, in some cases, to show you our ads on other websites.
Call and form tracking providers, including WhatConverts, which assign tracking phone numbers and record which marketing source a call or form submission came from.

These partners may collect device identifiers, IP address, and browsing activity on our site. We do not sell this information.

You can control cookies through your browser settings.

Many browsers also honor a Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal, which we respect where required by law.

6. Data Security

We implement reasonable administrative, technical, and physical safeguards designed to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, use, or disclosure. However, no method of transmission or storage is 100% secure, and we cannot guarantee absolute security.

7. Data Retention

We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide services, maintain business records, and comply with legal obligations. Records of SMS consent and opt-out requests are retained for at least four years.
