Text Message and E-Mail Marketing Terms and Conditions

Microchip USA offers its customers both recurring text messaging and e-mail programs and occasional one-time or limited-duration text messaging and e-mail programs. These Terms and Conditions govern all Microchip USA text and e-mail message programs. 

You may sign up for a Microchip USA text message or e-mail program by filling out a form on our website or otherwise providing your consent. For text messages, you may need to confirm your consent, such as by replying Yes or Y to an initial text message sent to you. When you agree to participate in Microchip USA text or e-mail programs, you typically agree to receive recurring messages with information, alerts, and special offers from Microchip USA. However, there may be programs where Microchip USA specifies that it will send a certain number or up to a certain number of text messages (for example, if you participate in a promotion or request a coupon code, you may receive a certain number of text messages only related to that promotion or you may only receive one text with the coupon code).  

Messages may be in SMS or MMS format and may contain marketing content. Text messages may be sent using an automatic telephone dialing system. Consent to receive such messages is not required as a condition to purchase any goods or services from Microchip USA. Message and data rates may apply. 

You will have the opportunity to opt out of receiving e-mail or text communications from Microchip USA every time we contact you. You may stop receiving text messages from us at any time by replying STOP or texting STOP to 1-888-251-5467. You will receive one final text message confirming that you have opted out. For e-mails, you will be able to click on a link to change your preferences or unsubscribe. For additional help, email sales@microchipusa.com or call us at 1-888-251-5467.  

By signing up for this program, you represent and warrant that you are the account holder or authorized user of the mobile telephone number associated with your enrollment and are at least 21 years of age or have a parent or guardian’s permission in order to participate. If your mobile operator is not participating, you will not receive a reply to your messages. Some operators may not support some services. Pre-paid users may not be able to participate – check with your mobile service provider. 

If you change your mobile phone number, you agree to promptly notify Microchip USA of the change. In the event that you change or deactivate your mobile number it is your responsibility to notify Microchip USA by email at sales@microchipusa.com to have your number removed. 

Additionally, Microchip USA reserves the right to alter message frequency at any time, i.e., we may change the frequency of texts or e-mails that you receive under a program. 

Your participation in a Microchip USA text message or e-mail program is subject to our Privacy Policy and our Sales Terms and Conditions.   

We do not sell, share, rent, or otherwise disclose personal information collected by our site to third parties in the ordinary course of business.
