The box is unchecked by default. The form cannot be submitted until the captain checks it, and the date and time of consent are recorded with the submission.

How consent is collected
- Standalone consent. SMS opt-in is a separate checkbox shown next to the mobile phone field. Creating an account or agreeing to the Terms does not by itself enroll anyone in text messaging.
- Unchecked by default. The checkbox is never pre-checked. The captain must actively check it, and the form cannot be submitted otherwise.
- Only two message types. Account verification codes (one-time setup and sign-in codes) and tournament operations messages such as catch confirmations and schedule updates. No marketing, promotions, sweepstakes, raffles, giveaways, contests, or sponsorship, and no third-party content.
- Not a condition of purchase. Declining SMS does not affect tournament participation.
- Opt out any time. Reply STOP to opt out or HELP for help, or contact info@nautisignal.com.
- Live form: app.nautisignal.com/captain/setup. Submitting the working form requires a tournament invitation, but the consent step above is exactly what every captain sees before opting in.
