SMS Terms

Thrown is a party-planning app run by Thrown LLC. Hosts plan their parties on Thrown and invite their guests, and one way a host can invite someone is by text. When they do, Thrown sends that guest one text message from Thrown's own number with the host's name, the party's name, and the guest's own private link to the invitation, where they can see the details and RSVP.

That invitation is the only kind of text Thrown sends. The first text Thrown sends to a number starts with “Thrown:”, so you know who it is from, and ends with “Reply STOP to opt out”. So does the next one once 30 days have gone by. A text in between leaves both off: it is the host's name, the party's name and your link, and nothing else. Replying STOP works on every one of them. We do not send marketing, advertising or promotions by text.

Here is what one looks like:

A phone number reaches Thrown in one of two ways, and in both of them Thrown texts it only with consent.

• You add yourself. On a party's RSVP page, a guest who types in their own mobile number sees an unchecked box labeled “Text me about this party”. Thrown texts that number only if the guest checks the box. It is optional: leaving it unchecked still sends the RSVP, and the number is then only for the host to reach the guest themselves.
• A host adds you. A host can put the number of someone they know on their party's guest list. Before Thrown sends a single text, the host has to check a box confirming “Everyone I'm texting agreed to get texts about this party.” Hosts cannot send without it, and our Terms of Service commit them to adding only people they know, for a real party.
• Here is exactly what each of them sees. The words below are the same ones the app shows.

Message frequency varies with how many parties you are invited to. Usually it is one text per party: the host's invitation, sent once. A host can only send it again if the first one failed to go through.

Thrown never charges you for a text. Message and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.

Reply STOP to any text from Thrown and the texts stop. You will get one reply confirming it, and after that Thrown will not text your number again, for any party and from any host.

STOPALL, UNSUBSCRIBE, CANCEL, END and QUIT work the same way. If you change your mind, reply START and texts can reach you again.

You can also email hello@thrown.party and ask us to stop texting your number.

Reply HELP to any text from Thrown for help, or email hello@thrown.party. You can also reach a person through our About page.

We use your phone number to send the texts this page describes and to run the party it belongs to, and for nothing else. Twilio, our messaging provider, delivers each text for us.

No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Text message opt-in data and consent are never shared with any third party.

Our Privacy Policy covers everything else we hold, how long we keep it, and how to have it removed.

These terms are part of our Terms of Service, and our Privacy Policy applies to your number.

• Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
• Only check the box for a number that is yours, or one whose owner has said you can.
• If Thrown ever starts sending a different kind of text, we will update this page before the first one goes out.
