Terms of Service
Effective Date: July 27, 2026.
These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Website www.gcom.world operated by The Global Co-Mission, Inc., a Florida 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation ("we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Website.
Use of the Website
You may use the Website for lawful, personal, non-commercial purposes related to learning about or supporting our mission. You agree not to:
Violate any laws or third-party rights.
Interfere with the Website's operation.
Attempt unauthorized access.
Copy, reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from content without permission.
Text Message (SMS) Program Terms
The Global Co-Mission, Inc. mobile message service (the "Service") is operated by The Global Co-Mission, Inc. Your enrollment in and use of the Service constitutes your agreement to these Text Message Program Terms. We may modify or cancel the Service or any of its features without notice. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we may also modify these terms at any time, and your continued participation following the effective date of any change constitutes acceptance of that change.
Consent to receive messages
By providing your mobile phone number and opting in, you consent to receive recurring text messages from and on behalf of The Global Co-Mission, Inc. through your wireless provider at the mobile number you provided, even if that number is registered on any state or federal Do Not Call list. Messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or other technology.
Consent to receive text messages is not a condition of making a donation or any purchase. Participation is entirely voluntary.
Eligibility
The Service is available only to individuals 18 years of age or older. By enrolling, you confirm that you are at least 18 and that you are the subscriber or the customary user of the mobile number you provide. You agree to provide us with a valid mobile number. If you change or give up your mobile number, you agree to notify us or to opt out, and you will need to enroll again with your new number to continue receiving messages.
Message content
Messages may include mission updates, stories from the field, event invitations, giving opportunities, campaign news, and, where applicable, shopping cart reminders and order or transaction updates.
Message frequency and cost
Message frequency varies. We do not charge for the Service, but message and data rates may apply, and you are solely responsible for all charges imposed by your wireless provider in connection with messages you send or receive. Check your mobile plan and contact your wireless provider for details.
Opting out
You may opt out at any time by replying STOP to any message from us, by texting STOP to +1 (844) 789-9337, or by clicking the unsubscribe link where one is available in a message. You will receive a one-time confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, after which we will send no further messages unless you contact us or enroll again.
If you ask us to stop contacting you generally, rather than to stop a specific program or channel, we will honor that request across our text messaging, email, and other messaging programs. If you ask us to stop only a particular program or channel, we will honor the request as you made it. To re-enroll after opting out, sign up again as you did the first time.
Help and support
For help with the Service, reply HELP to any message, text HELP to +1 (844) 789-9337, or email connect@gcom.world. For questions about how your information is handled, or to exercise privacy rights, email connect@gcom.world or call +1 (727) 404-3434.
Changes to numbers and providers
We may change the short code, toll-free number, or messaging provider used to operate the Service at any time, and will notify you of such changes where practicable. You acknowledge that any message you send to a short code or telephone number we have discontinued, including a STOP or HELP request, may not be received, and that we are not responsible for honoring requests made in such messages. If you believe an opt-out request was not received, please email connect@gcom.world.
Carrier liability and delivery
The wireless carriers supported by the Service are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree that we will not be liable for any failed, delayed, or misdirected delivery of information sent through the Service, for any errors in that information, or for any action you take or do not take in reliance on the Service.
Information we collect through the Service
Data obtained from you in connection with the Service may include your mobile phone number, your wireless carrier's name, your consent record, and the date, time, and content of messages. We use this information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including our commitment that text messaging originator opt-in data and consent will not be shared with any third parties, and that phone numbers and text-message opt-in data are not shared with advertising platforms for any purpose.
