By using the text messaging service you hereby release AHA from any liability arising from or related to access to these messages once they have been delivered. Although we use reasonable efforts to protect your privacy, you should keep in mind that if you give others access to your mobile device or your mobile device password, it is possible that information may be accessible by others.
