By enrolling in a membership with the National ABS Law Firm Association (NALFA), you agree to our auto-renewal terms.

NALFA reserves the right to adjust membership rates or modify renewal terms. Any changes will be communicated in advance and will apply to future renewal periods.

Mobile Messaging Terms

The mobile messaging service (the “Service”) is operated by the organization identified on this website (“we,” “our,” or “us”). The organization manages all mobile messaging on behalf of its affiliated brands and events, which may include—but are not limited to—various associations, conferences, or membership programs under its management.

By opting in to receive SMS/text messages from us, you agree to these Mobile Terms. We may update, modify, or discontinue the Service or any of its features at any time without notice. To the extent permitted by law, we may also revise these terms, and your continued use of the Service after any changes indicates your acceptance of the updated terms.

By providing your mobile number and consenting to receive messages, you agree to receive recurring SMS/text messages from or on behalf of the organizations listed above. These may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system or similar technology and may include both service-related messages (e.g., alerts, updates, and account notifications) and promotional messages (e.g., special offers, event announcements, and marketing communications). Your consent to receive these messages is not a condition of purchase, and participation is completely voluntary.

We do not charge for the Service, but standard message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan. Message frequency may vary based on your interactions with us. You are solely responsible for any charges related to text messaging.

You may opt out of the Service at any time by texting STOP or by clicking the unsubscribe link in any message (if available). After opting out, you will receive a one-time confirmation message. No further messages will be sent unless you reinitiate contact. If you are subscribed to more than one mobile program operated by Legal Associations Management, Inc., you must opt out of each program separately.

For support or assistance with the Service, reply to text with HELP or contact us here.

We may change the phone number or short code used for messaging at any time and will provide notice of such changes. Messages sent to an outdated number or short code may not be received, and we are not responsible for honoring requests made to retired numbers.

Wireless carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. You agree to provide a valid and current mobile number. If your number changes, you must re-enroll with the new number to continue receiving messages.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, we are not liable for any delayed, failed, or misdirected delivery of messages, any errors in the content of those messages, or any actions you take based on the information provided through the Service.

We are committed to protecting your privacy. For more information about how we collect, use, and safeguard your personal information, please refer to our Privacy Notice.
