WA Ferry Tracker › SMS Terms & Conditions
These SMS Terms & Conditions govern text-message alerts from the WA Ferry Tracker program, operated by Kapil Adatiya under the brand byKapil. The website is https://ferry.bykapil.com. By opting in to SMS alerts, you agree to these terms and to our Privacy Policy.
Program name and description
Program name: WA Ferry Tracker (byKapil).
We send transactional SMS alerts when WSDOT-published drive-up or reservable vehicle space becomes available (or otherwise changes in a way that matters to your alert) on a Washington State Ferries sailing you chose. Messages may also include brief service notices about your alert, such as confirmation or cancellation. This is not a marketing program. WA Ferry Tracker cannot book a reservation for you; you book on the official WSDOT / WSF site.
How to opt in
You opt in on the WA Ferry Tracker website. You pick a route, date, and sailing, enter your US mobile number, and check a consent box agreeing to receive SMS alerts for that sailing. We will not send SMS alerts until you complete that opt-in. Consent is not required to browse the site or to use WhatsApp alerts instead.
Message frequency
Message frequency varies and depends on space changes for the sailing you choose. You typically receive only a few messages around your travel date. You may receive more if space changes often, or fewer if nothing changes.
Cost
Msg & data rates may apply. Your carrier’s standard messaging and data rates apply to messages we send and to any replies, including STOP and HELP. The WA Ferry Tracker service itself is free. Consent is not a condition of any purchase.
How to get help or cancel
- Reply STOP to cancel SMS alerts. You may also cancel an alert on the website after you sign in.
- Reply HELP for help, or contact us at kapiladatiya@live.in or +1 (206) 751-9422.
Who can use SMS alerts
SMS alerts are for US mobile numbers (including US territories served by US carriers). You must be the account holder or have the account holder’s permission to use the number you provide, and you must be able to consent to receive texts.
Privacy and no marketing sharing
Mobile information will not be shared with third parties or affiliates for marketing or promotional purposes. We use your number to send the alerts you requested, to handle STOP and HELP, and as described in our Privacy Policy. We do not sell your information. Carriers are not liable for delayed or undelivered messages.
Changes
We may update these terms. The current version will be posted at https://ferry.bykapil.com/terms/, and the date at the bottom of this page will change when we update it.
