SMS / Text Messaging Terms

Last updated: October 27, 2026

1. About this messaging program

These SMS Terms govern the text messages you receive from Hunter Lease (hunter.lease), a service operated by Cargwin LLC (California auto broker, License #21138). There are two kinds of texts, and you agree to each one with its own checkbox. Booking updates: your booking confirmation, the bank's decision, your car, pickup details and replies to your questions about your deal. Better deals by text: a text when we find a lower payment on cars you looked at. Texts may be sent by automated means. This is not a subscription you pay for, and it does not cover phone calls: any call we or a participating dealer make about your request is separate.

2. How you opt in

You opt in on hunter.lease in one of two places. Both open after you sign in, so screenshots of both are shown below.

  • The "Almost done" window. Right after you create an account with Google, it asks for your name and mobile number.
  • The booking screen. When you book a car, it shows the "Phone for this booking" field.

Under the phone field there are two separate checkboxes. Both are unchecked by default and optional:

  • "Text me booking updates: bank answer, car, pickup. The dealer waits about an hour for your decision, a text makes sure you see it."
  • "Better deals by text. We text you when we find a lower payment on cars you looked at."

Directly below both checkboxes: "By checking a box, you agree to receive texts from Hunter Lease at this number, including automated texts. Msg frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Optional, not a condition of purchase. SMS Terms, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy."

You can continue without checking either box. We send booking updates only if you checked the first box, and offers only if you checked the second. We record each consent with the date and time, the exact text on the screen, the IP address and the browser.

3. Your consent is not a condition of purchase

You do not have to agree to text messages to use Hunter Lease, place a service fee, or get a deal. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of any purchase or of any service we provide. You can use the service and we can help you another way, by email or phone, if you prefer not to receive texts.

4. Message frequency

Message frequency varies. How many texts you receive depends on your request and what is happening with your deal, for example when a dealer responds. There is no fixed number of messages.

5. Message and data rates

Message and data rates may apply. Hunter Lease does not charge you for these texts, but your mobile carrier may charge you for messages and data according to your plan. Check with your carrier if you are unsure about your rates.

6. How to opt out (STOP) and get help (HELP)

You can opt out at any time. Reply STOP to any of our text messages to stop receiving them. After you reply STOP, we will send one confirmation that you have been unsubscribed, and we will not send you further texts unless you sign up again. For help, reply HELP to any message, or contact us at hello@hunter.lease or +1 (279) 208-5707. Opting out of texts does not remove you from your deal; we can still reach you by email or phone about your request.

7. Supported carriers

This messaging program is available on most major US wireless carriers, including AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and others. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages. Delivery and timing depend on your carrier and your device, and we cannot guarantee that every message will be delivered.

8. Privacy

We handle your mobile number and the information in these texts as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your personal information. No mobile information will be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. Limited information is shared for advertising measurement only if you opt in on our cookie banner, as described in the Privacy Policy, and the content of these texts is never shared. Read the full Privacy Policy at /privacy.

9. Changes to these SMS Terms

We may update these SMS Terms from time to time. When we do, we will post the updated version here with a new date. If the change is material, we will give reasonable notice before it takes effect.
