These Terms apply to all users of the Platform, including dealership owners, sales managers, and any authorized personnel accessing the Platform on behalf of a dealership.

05 — CASL & SMS Compliance
CASL & SMS Compliance
5.1 — CASL Overview

Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation

Canada's Anti-Spam Legislation (CASL) requires that commercial electronic messages (CEMs), including SMS messages, be sent only with the recipient's express or implied consent, contain sender identification, and include an unsubscribe mechanism.

Your Responsibility: You are solely responsible for ensuring that all contacts in your CRM have provided the necessary consent before using the Sarah AI SMS feature to contact them. First Financial Canada provides the tools — compliance with CASL is the responsibility of each subscriber.
5.2 — Implied Consent

Implied Consent

Implied consent exists where there is an existing business relationship (e.g., a customer who recently inquired about a vehicle). Implied consent is time-limited under CASL and should not be relied upon indefinitely. We recommend obtaining express written consent where possible.

5.3 — Unsubscribe

Unsubscribe Requests

Any contact who replies STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, or equivalent to an SMS sent through the Platform will be automatically flagged. You must honour unsubscribe requests promptly and cease sending messages to that contact within 10 business days, as required by CASL.
