Additionally, you shall hold us blameless from any losses sustained by you or harm caused to you relating to or resulting in any way from any Third-Party Content or any contact with Third-Party Websites.

 

  1. ADVERTISERS

There will be no advertisements within the platform promoting anything outside of Caalano Systems Products/services or features.

 

  1. SERVICES MANAGEMENT

We reserve the right, but not the obligation, to: (1) monitor the Services for violations of these Legal Terms; (2) take appropriate legal action against anyone who, in our sole discretion, violates the law or these Legal Terms, including without limitation, reporting such user to law enforcement authorities; (3) in our sole discretion and without limitation, refuse, restrict access to, limit the availability of, or disable (to the extent technologically feasible) any of your Contributions or any portion thereof; (4) in our sole discretion and without limitation, notice, or liability, to remove from the Services or otherwise disable all files and content that are excessive in size or are in any way burdensome to our systems; and (5) otherwise manage the Services in a manner designed to protect our rights and property and to facilitate the proper functioning of the Services.

 

  1. PRIVACY POLICY

17.1 Our Privacy Policy at caalanosystems.com.au/privacy-policy is incorporated into these Legal Terms.

17.2 Where the Services are hosted. The Services are hosted on infrastructure located in the United States, provided by the infrastructure provider identified in our Privacy Policy. Personal information you or your users transmit to or store in the Services, including information about your customers and patients, is held in the United States. This clause is a disclosure to you. It is not, and you must not treat it as, the consent of any individual whose information you store; clause 17.3 sets out what you must do to obtain that.

17.3 What this means for you. You must ensure that your own privacy policy and collection notices disclose that personal information you collect may be stored outside Australia and identify the countries concerned, and that you have any consent required for that disclosure. Where you rely on consent for an overseas disclosure under Australian Privacy Principle 8.2(b), that consent must expressly inform the individual that Australian Privacy Principle 8.1 will not apply and that they may be unable to seek redress under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).

17.4 How we handle your customer data. We handle personal information in your customer data only on your instructions and only to provide the Services to you. We do not use it for our own purposes, and we do not use it to build products, models, benchmarks or training data, except in de-identified and aggregated form from which no individual is reasonably identifiable. We do not disclose it to any third party except a provider engaged to deliver the Services, an integration you connect, or where required by law.

17.5 Account segregation. We hold each account’s customer data separately. We do not link, match or de-duplicate records about an individual across different accounts, and we do not maintain any cross-account identity graph or shared contact record.

17.6 Security. We take reasonable steps, including technical and organisational measures, to protect customer data from misuse, interference and loss, and from unauthorised access, modification and disclosure. These include role-based least-privilege access, multi-factor authentication, encryption in transit, and logging of access to accounts holding health information. We do not use live customer data in development or test environments. No system is completely secure and we do not guarantee absolute security.

17.7 Data breaches. If we become aware of circumstances giving us reasonable grounds to suspect an eligible data breach affecting your customer data, we will notify you within 24 hours, cooperate with you in assessing it, and assist you to meet your obligations under the Notifiable Data Breaches scheme. Where the breach relates to your customer data, you will ordinarily notify affected individuals and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner, because you have the direct relationship with those individuals. Neither party will publicly name the other in relation to a breach without the other’s prior written consent, except where required by law.

17.8 Access and correction. We will assist you to respond to a request by an individual for access to, or correction of, their personal information within 10 business days of your request.

17.9 Hosting region. If we make an Australian hosting region available, we will notify you, and you may elect in writing to have your account migrated. We will tell you what the migration involves, whether backups, logs, file storage, messaging and AI features are all within the region, and any charge. Until a migration is complete, clause 17.2 continues to apply to your account.

 

17A HEALTH INFORMATION

17A.1 Acknowledgement. You acknowledge that the Services are a client acquisition, marketing and communication platform and are not a clinical or practice management system; that information you store in or transmit through the Services, including any health information about your patients or clients, is held on infrastructure located in the United States as set out in clause 17.2; and that we handle that information only as set out in section 17 and our Privacy Policy.

17A.2 Your sole responsibility. Where you use the Services to collect, store, transmit or otherwise handle health information or any other sensitive information, it is your sole responsibility to ensure that the information is collected, held, used, disclosed, retained and destroyed in a responsible manner and in accordance with all legislation that applies to you. That legislation may include the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth) and the Australian Privacy Principles, the Spam Act 2003 (Cth), the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth), the Health Practitioner Regulation National Law, and the health records and privacy legislation of each State or Territory in which you operate or in which your patients or clients are located, such as the Health Records and Information Privacy Act 2002 (NSW), the Health Records Act 2001 (Vic) and the Health Records (Privacy and Access) Act 1997 (ACT). Your responsibility extends to every notice, consent, record of consent, retention period, overseas disclosure requirement, destruction obligation and access or correction request that the legislation requires, and to the content of your own privacy policy and collection notices.

17A.3 Your decisions. You determine what information is collected through the Services, from whom, for what purpose, and what is done with it, including through any form, page, workflow, integration, tracking technology or advertising platform that you, or a third party on your behalf, connect to or configure in your account. Any disclosure of information that results from a form, page, workflow, integration, tracking technology or configuration in your account is your disclosure, not ours, and you are responsible for it.

17A.4 Our position. We are responsible for our own compliance in relation to the information we hold, as set out in section 17. We do not provide legal advice, and we make no representation that your use of the Services complies with any law. Nothing in these Legal Terms makes us responsible for your compliance with any law, and section 26 applies to any claim, loss or penalty arising from your failure to comply. These Legal Terms allocate responsibility between you and us; they do not limit a regulator’s ability to take action against either party.

17A.5 Suspension. We may suspend or disable any feature, integration, tracking configuration or account, without liability, where we reasonably believe that its continued operation would breach a privacy law or expose us to a claim. We will tell you why.

 

  1. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENTS

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on or through the Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, you are obligated to notify us using the contact information provided below (a “Notification”). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification. Please be advised that pursuant to applicable law you may be held liable for damages if you make material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material located on or linked to by the Services infringes your copyright, you should consider first contacting an attorney.

 

  1. TERM AND TERMINATION

The Terms of Service shall remain in full force and effect while you use the Services. WITHOUT LIMITING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THESE LEGAL TERMS, These Legal Terms remain in force while you use the Services. You may cancel your subscription at any time by giving us notice, effective at the end of your current billing period, subject to any minimum term in a Marketing Services Agreement. We may suspend or terminate your access where you materially breach these Legal Terms, fail to pay, or use the Services unlawfully. Except where we are required by law to act immediately, or where the breach involves unlawful activity or a serious security risk, we will give you written notice and a reasonable opportunity to remedy before suspending or terminating. We will not delete your customer data without first giving you at least 30 days to export it, in accordance with section 27. On termination your licence ends, you must stop using the Services, and accrued fees remain payable. Sections 2, 17, 17A.8, 23A, 24, 25, 26 and 27 survive termination.

If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.

 

  1. MODIFICATIONS AND INTERRUPTIONS

We reserve the right to change, modify, or remove the contents of the Services at any time or for any reason at our sole discretion without notice. However, we have no obligation to update any information on our Services. Subject to 23A, we will not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, price change, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services.

We cannot guarantee the Services will be available at all times. We may experience hardware, software, or other problems or need to perform maintenance related to the Services, resulting in interruptions, delays, or errors. We reserve the right to change, revise, update, suspend, discontinue, or otherwise modify the Services at any time or for any reason without notice to you. You agree that we have no liability whatsoever for any loss, damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Services during any downtime or discontinuance of the Services. Nothing in these Legal Terms will be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Services or to supply any corrections, updates, or releases in connection therewith.

 

  1. GOVERNING LAW

These Legal Terms and your use of the Services are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia, applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within New South Wales, Australia, without regard to its conflict of law principles. The parties submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Commonwealth of Australia.

 

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Informal Negotiations

To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Legal Terms (each a “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating Mediation. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.

 

Mediation and Arbitration

22.1 If a dispute arises under these Legal Terms, the parties must first attempt to resolve it by good faith negotiation between senior representatives within 21 days of one party giving the other written notice of the dispute.

22.2 If the dispute is not resolved in that time, either party may refer it to mediation administered by the Australian Disputes Centre, and the parties will share the mediator’s costs equally.

22.3 A party may not commence court proceedings until 21 days after the mediation has ended or been declined, except to seek urgent injunctive relief.

22.4 Nothing in this section prevents you making a complaint to a regulator or an ombudsman.

Restrictions

The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding; (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilise class action procedures; and (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.

 

Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration

The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party; (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorised use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

 

  1. CORRECTIONS

There may be information on the Services that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Services at any time, without prior notice.

23A AUSTRALIAN CONSUMER LAW

23A.1 Nothing in these Legal Terms excludes, restricts or modifies any guarantee, right or remedy you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted or modified.

23A.2 Where our liability for breach of a non-excludable guarantee can be limited, our liability is limited, at our option, to resupplying the Services or paying the cost of having them resupplied.

23A.3 Sections 2, 7, 12, 20, 24, 25 and 27, and every other exclusion or limitation of liability in these Legal Terms, apply only to the extent permitted by law and are subject to this section 23A.

  1. DISCLAIMER

SUBJECT TO 23A, THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS-IS AND AS-AVAILABLE BASIS. YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES AND YOUR USE THEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS ABOUT THE ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS OF THE SERVICES’ CONTENT OR THE CONTENT OF ANY WEBSITES OR MOBILE APPLICATIONS LINKED TO THE SERVICES AND WE WILL ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY
(1) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT AND MATERIALS,
(2) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE SERVICES,
(3) ANY INTERRUPTION OR CESSATION OF TRANSMISSION TO OR FROM THE SERVICES,
(4) ANY BUGS, VIRUSES, TROJAN HORSES, OR THE LIKE WHICH MAY BE TRANSMITTED TO OR THROUGH THE SERVICES BY ANY THIRD PARTY, AND/OR
(5) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT AND MATERIALS OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE SERVICES.

WE DO NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE SERVICES, ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE, OR ANY WEBSITE OR MOBILE APPLICATION FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND WE WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND ANY THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. AS WITH THE PURCHASE OF A PRODUCT OR SERVICE THROUGH ANY MEDIUM OR IN ANY ENVIRONMENT, YOU SHOULD USE YOUR BEST JUDGEMENT AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE.

 

Call Recording & Legal Compliance

Caalano Systems provides an optional call recording feature that may be enabled within your account. By enabling and using this feature, you acknowledge and agree that it is your sole responsibility, as the account owner and subscriber, to ensure compliance with all applicable local, state, and federal laws relating to the recording of telephone calls and communications.

Caalano Systems does not provide legal advice and does not assume any responsibility or liability for your compliance with such laws. If you choose to enable call recording, you must ensure that you obtain any required consents or approvals in accordance with relevant legislation in your jurisdiction.

By enabling or using this feature, you agree that Caalano Systems will not be held liable for any legal consequences, disputes, penalties, or claims arising from your use of call recording.

When enabled, the feature records your calls with your own contacts. You are the party making the recording. We do not listen to, review or use your recordings except to provide the Services. You must comply with the surveillance devices legislation of every State and Territory in which a party to the call is located, including the Surveillance Devices Act 2007 (NSW), the Surveillance Devices Act 1999 (Vic) and the Listening Devices Act 1992 (ACT). These are criminal statutes and the rules differ by jurisdiction; in some, the consent of all parties is required. You must play or read a recording notice at the start of each recorded call, and stop recording on request. Notifying a participant that a call may be recorded is not, by itself, consent in every jurisdiction. You must not record a call in which an individual discusses their own health condition, treatment or attendance, and must not store such a recording in the Services. You are responsible for the retention and deletion of recordings in your account.

 

  1. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY

25.1 Subject to section 23A, and to the maximum extent permitted by law, neither party is liable to the other for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill or loss of anticipated savings.

25.2 Subject to section 23A, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with these Legal Terms, however arising, is limited to the total fees you paid us in the 3 months before the event giving rise to the liability.

25.3 Clause 25.2 does not apply to our liability for our fraud or wilful misconduct, or for death or personal injury caused by our negligence.

25.4 Each party must take reasonable steps to mitigate its loss.

 

  1. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our subsidiaries, affiliates, and all of our respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from and against any loss, damage, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses, made by any third party due to or arising out of:
(1) your Contributions;
(2) use of the Services;
(3) breach of these Legal Terms;
(4) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in these Legal Terms;
(5) your violation of the rights of a third party, including but not limited to intellectual property rights; or
(6) any overt harmful act toward any other user of the Services with whom you connected via the Services.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we reserve the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defence and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify us, and you agree to cooperate, at your expense, with our defence of such claims. We will use reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding which is subject to this indemnification upon becoming aware of it.

Each indemnity in these Legal Terms is reduced to the extent the loss was caused or contributed to by the party claiming it. An indemnity allocates cost between the parties. It does not transfer either party’s obligations under privacy law to the other, consistent with clause 17A.4.

  1. USER DATA

27.1 You own your customer data. We claim no ownership of it.

27.2 You may export your contact, opportunity and appointment data at any time during your subscription.

27.3 We perform routine backups. You remain responsible for keeping your own copies of data that is important to your business.

27.4 On termination, within 30 days we will provide an export of your customer data in a commonly used machine-readable format on request. Unless you elect earlier deletion in writing, we will permanently delete your customer data 90 days after termination and confirm in writing. Backups are purged within 28 days after that.

27.5 You may request deletion of your account and its customer data at any time. We will action it and confirm.

27.6 Clause 27.4 does not require us to delete data we are required by law to retain, or aggregated and de-identified data.

27.7 Default retention where you configure none: enquiry and contact records, 24 months from last contact; call recordings and transcripts, 12 months; message logs, 24 months. We will notify you before applying a default deletion. 

27.8 Subject to section 23A, our liability for loss or corruption of data is limited as set out in section 25.

 

  1. ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATIONS, TRANSACTIONS, AND SIGNATURES

 

Visiting the Services, sending us emails, and completing online forms constitute electronic communications. You consent to receive electronic communications, and you agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications we provide to you electronically, via email and on the Services, satisfy any legal requirement that such communication be in writing. YOU HEREBY AGREE TO THE USE OF ELECTRONIC SIGNATURES, CONTRACTS, ORDERS, AND OTHER RECORDS, AND TO ELECTRONIC DELIVERY OF NOTICES, POLICIES, AND RECORDS OF TRANSACTIONS INITIATED OR COMPLETED BY US OR VIA THE SERVICES. You hereby waive any rights or requirements under any statutes, regulations, rules, ordinances, or other laws in any jurisdiction which require an original signature or delivery or retention of non-electronic records, or to payments or the granting of credits by any means other than electronic means.

 

  1. SMS TEXT MESSAGING

 

Opting Out

If at any time you wish to stop receiving SMS messages from us, simply reply to the text with “STOP.” You may receive an SMS message confirming your opt out.

Message and Data Rates

Please be aware that message and data rates may apply to any SMS messages sent or received. The rates are determined by your carrier and the specifics of your mobile plan.

Support

If you have any questions or need assistance regarding our SMS communications, please email us at hello@caalanosystems.com.au or call at 0482 075 618.

Your obligations as sender. You are the sender of every message sent from your account. You must not use the Services to send a commercial electronic message unless you have the recipient’s consent within the meaning of the Spam Act 2003 (Cth) and hold a record of it; the message clearly and accurately identifies you as the person who authorised it, with contact details that will remain valid for at least 30 days; and the message contains a functional unsubscribe facility, unless it is a designated commercial electronic message consisting of no more than factual information. You must action unsubscribe requests within 5 business days. A website visit or an email enquiry is unlikely, by itself, to be consent to inclusion on a marketing list.

Streams. You must not send marketing content from a message stream configured as transactional or as an appointment reminder. A reminder that carries a promotional sentence or link becomes a commercial electronic message and requires consent and an unsubscribe facility. Every marketing SMS must honour a reply of STOP (or equivalent) as an unsubscribe, and you must configure appointment confirmations and reminders as a separate stream so that an unsubscribe from marketing does not prevent transactional messages.

Sender identification. Where you use a sending domain or number provided by the platform, you must ensure the message identifies you, not us, as the sender.

Do Not Call Register. Where the Services are used to make telemarketing calls to Australian numbers, each party will comply with the Do Not Call Register Act 2006 (Cth) and take all reasonable steps to ensure that its employees and agents comply with that Act. You must wash any calling list against the Register within 30 days before any call and retain evidence of the wash. A bare express consent to be called, with no stated period, is taken to be withdrawn after 3 months.

Schedule 2 sets out the operational messaging policy, sending limits and deliverability rules that apply to your account.

 

  1. MISCELLANEOUS

These Legal Terms and any policies or operating rules posted by us on the Services or in respect to the Services constitute the entire agreement and understanding between you and us. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Legal Terms shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. These Legal Terms operate to the fullest extent permissible by law. We may assign these Legal Terms to a related body corporate or in connection with a sale of our business, on notice to you. We shall not be responsible or liable for any loss, damage, delay, or failure to act caused by any cause beyond our reasonable control. If any provision or part of a provision of these Legal Terms is determined to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from these Legal Terms and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. There is no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship created between you and us as a result of these Legal Terms or use of the Services. You agree that these Legal Terms will not be construed against us by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defences you may have based on the electronic form of these Legal Terms and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Legal Terms.

Notices to us go to hello@caalanosystems.com.au. Privacy requests and complaints go to privacy@caalanosystems.com.au. Notices to you go to the email address on your account.

 

  1. ACCOUNT TRANSFER AND USAGE RESTRICTIONS
  1. Non-transferability of Account: Each account created with Caalano Systems is personal to the account holder and is non-transferable under any circumstances. Account holders are prohibited from transferring, assigning, selling, or otherwise disposing of their accounts to other persons or entities, including but not limited to other agencies or accounts, without the express written consent of Caalano Systems.
  2. Restrictions on Content and Material: All content, data, and material generated, stored, or processed within Caalano Systems, including but not limited to reports, graphics, documents, and other intellectual property, cannot be transferred or used outside of the designated Caalano Systems account, except as expressly permitted by these terms or as otherwise authorised in writing by Caalano Systems. This restriction aims to protect the proprietary and confidential nature of the services and material available through Caalano Systems.
  3. Exclusion of Contact Data: Notwithstanding the above, your customer data, including contact, opportunity and appointment records, may be exported or transferred from Caalano Systems, provided that such actions comply with applicable privacy laws and Caalano Systems’ privacy policy. This exclusion is intended to facilitate legitimate business communications without contravening the account and content usage restrictions herein.
  4. Consequences of Unauthorised Transfer: Any unauthorised attempt to transfer an account or its associated contents may result in immediate termination of the account, legal action, and other remedies available to Caalano Systems under applicable law. By creating an account with Caalano Systems, you acknowledge and agree to adhere to these terms and conditions, which are designed to ensure the integrity and security of the services provided by Caalano Systems.

 

  1. PHONE MESSAGING POLICY

All messaging transmitted via the Caalano Systems platform, regardless of use case or phone number type (e.g., long code or toll-free), must comply with Application-to-Person (A2P) messaging standards. All A2P messages originating from the system are subject to this Messaging Policy, which includes the following rules and prohibitions:

Consent (“opt-in”): Consent cannot be bought, sold, or exchanged. For example, you cannot obtain the consent of message recipients by purchasing a phone list from another party. SMS should only be sent to opted-in contacts.

Revocation of Consent (“opt-out”): The initial message sent to an individual must include language such as “Reply STOP to unsubscribe,” or an equivalent, so individuals have the ability to revoke consent at any time by replying with a standard opt-out keyword.

Sender Identification: Every initial message must clearly identify you (the party that obtained the opt-in from the recipient) as the sender, except in follow-up messages of an ongoing conversation.

Messaging Usage: You should not send messages related to alcohol, firearms, gambling, tobacco, or other adult content.

Filtering Evasion: We do not allow content designed to evade detection by unwanted messaging detection and prevention mechanisms. This includes intentionally misspelt words or non-standard opt-out phrases created to evade these mechanisms. We do not permit snowshoeing, which is spreading similar or identical messages across many phone numbers to evade unwanted messaging detection and prevention mechanisms.

This policy applies to all customers using Caalano Systems’ phone messaging services to safeguard their messaging capabilities and services.

 

How We Handle Violations

When we identify a violation of these principles, we will, where possible, work with customers in good faith to get them back into compliance with the messaging policy. However, to protect the continued ability of all our customers to freely use messaging for legitimate purposes, we reserve the right to suspend or remove access to the platform for customers or customers’ end users who are not complying with the Messaging Policy or following applicable laws or communications industry guidelines and standards, in some instances with limited notice in the case of serious violations of this policy.

 

SMS Ramp-Up Model (V2)

All accounts have an 8-level SMS ramp. Below is the table detailing the ramp:

 

| Level | SMS Sending Limit |

|——-|——————-|

| 1     | 100               |

| 2     | 250               |

| 3     | 500               |

| 4     | 750               |

| 5     | 1500              |

| 6     | 2250              |

| 7     | 3000              |

| 8     | 3000+             |

 

How it Works:

This ramp does not start on the signup date; it starts on the day the first successful SMS message is sent. All accounts start at Level 1, enabling them to send 100 SMS within 24 hours. To increase sending limits, the account must send the full level sending limit within a 24-hour window. After sending the full level sending limit within 24 hours, the account will be temporarily restricted from sending SMS for the next 24 hours. During this temporary restriction, SMS sending is disabled. After 24 hours, the temporary restriction will be removed, and the account will unlock the next level sending limit, increasing their sending limit.

 

Example:

A new account will start at Level 1 with a sending limit of 100 SMS within 24 hours. To unlock Level 2, the account must send 100 SMS within 24 hours. After sending 100 SMS within 24 hours, the account will be temporarily restricted from sending SMS for 24 hours. After 24 hours, SMS sending will be allowed again, and the account will unlock Level 2 with a sending limit of 250. This process continues until Level 8, which allows for sending 3000+ SMS.

 

FAQs on SMS Ramp-Up Model:

 

– Can I change or remove this ramp-up model? No. Previously, agencies could change the SMS limit within the ramp or post-ramp period. That capability has been removed.

– Do one-to-one and missed call text back SMS count toward my daily limit sending? Yes. Previously, one-to-one messages and missed call text back messages were not counted as part of the day’s total message; this will be counted henceforth.

– Can I send one-to-one messages during the 24-hour temporary sending restriction after reaching my level limit? No. Previously, when a location was temporarily restricted, one-to-one messages were allowed. That capability has been removed.

 

Why the Change?

Caalano Systems’ phone policy was implemented to:

– Avoid SMS spam blasts from fake signups. New accounts on Caalano Systems Phone will follow the Ramp-Up Model.

– Avoid getting accounts blocked due to suspicious activity.

– Avoid legal actions due to increased spamming to non-consenting customers. Only bulk SMS sending will have daily limitations to avoid account suspension due to non-compliant messaging activity.

 

Error Screens or Notifications During a Violation:

– Conversation Error: You have exceeded your SMS sending limit.

– Bulk Action: You are allowed to send 5000 message(s) in a day. You have already sent 5000 message(s). If you wish to proceed, 1 Message(s) will be failed.

 

Spam Message Handling

Each message sent from the account ends up with one of the following four statuses:

– Sent: The messages for which we did not receive a response from the carrier can be in any of the statuses below.

– Delivered: The messages successfully delivered to the contact.

– Failed: The messages cancelled or not sent to the carrier to forward to the contact.

– Undelivered: The messages sent were suspicious or did not fulfil the messaging policy.

As part of this feature, we will only consider undelivered messages. All undelivered messages will have a particular error code stored at each message level. We will use these codes to enable Temporary/Permanent DND at a contact level, preventing new SMSs from being sent to them and increasing your deliverability rate.

The table below summarises the undelivered SMS error codes, their descriptions, and the relevant remediation measures:

Temporary DND: The DND set at a contact level can be revoked by the agency or location.

Permanent DND: The DND set at the contact level cannot be revoked by the agency or location as the contact is incapable of receiving the message or has opted out of receiving messages.

Opt-Out Keyword: Individuals must have the ability to revoke consent at any time by replying with a standard opt-out keyword like STOP, Unsubscribe, etc. In this case, a permanent DND will be enabled at the contact level.

 

Advantages:

– This will restrict the location from sending SMS to non-relevant contacts, eventually increasing the deliverability rate and decreasing the possibility of getting blocked.

– Locations will only send messages to contacts who have opted in.

 

Spam Messaging Error Screens:

– Conversation: Cannot send messages as DND is active for SMS.

– Bulk Action: All SMS sent via features like workflow and bulk SMS will automatically skip the DND-marked contacts from the sender list.

 

How to Revoke the DND for a Contact:

– For Temporary DND, go to the contact details and remove the DND flag.

– For Permanent DND, you cannot revoke it from the UI. To revoke the permanent DND, request the contact to send a reply with the “START,” “YES,” or “UNSTOP” keywords to the number. This should automatically remove the DND from the contact. Note: If the START keyword does not revoke the DND and incoming/outgoing messages still fail, please raise a support ticket.

 

Opt-Out Language Addition

Consent for sending communications cannot be bought; it must be obtained explicitly from the user. Each initial message sent out by the company to an end-user must include two mandatory pieces of information: Sender ID and opt-out language.

 

Opt-Out Language: The end user should have the capability to remove consent at any time. Each initial message should include opt-out keywords like STOP, UNSUBSCRIBE, etc. We will additionally add the opt-out language: “Reply STOP to unsubscribe.”

 

Note:

– The “Opt-out message” feature is applicable to bulk actions (Bulk SMS), workflows, and campaigns, but not to one-on-one conversations unless it is the first text being sent to a new contact who has never sent a text to the Caalano Systems phone number before.

 

Sender Information Addition

Consent for sending communications cannot be bought; it must be obtained explicitly from the user. Each initial message sent out by the company to an end-user must include two mandatory pieces of information: Sender ID and opt-out language.

 

SenderID: Every message you send must clearly identify you (the party that obtained the opt-in from the recipient) as the sender, except in follow-up messages of an ongoing conversation. We will additionally add the sender info: “Thanks, [Your business name] .”

 

Note:

– The “Sender ID” feature is only applicable to bulk actions (Bulk SMS), workflows, and campaigns, and not to one-on-one conversations.

 

Error and Opt-Out Rate Monitoring

We focus on helping our customers deliver trusted communications. To ensure that the carrier does not block or suspend the account permanently based on bad usage, we will monitor the delivery rate of the overall account and take proactive measures to keep the delivery rate in check:

 

Violation Email: We will send a notification email when the account hits an error rate of 8% and an opt-out rate of 1%.

Temporary Account Restriction: We will send a suspension email when the account hits an error rate of 12.5% and an opt-out rate of 2.5%.

Note: When the account hits the temporary suspension, all upcoming outbound SMS will fail until 00:00 AM UTC.

 

What to Do When You Receive a Violation Email:

– Stop all workflows, campaigns, triggers, and/or bulk actions to contacts who have not explicitly opted in to receive messages from the account.

– Enable and customise the opt-out language and SenderID message as per your use case to prevent upcoming messages from being flagged.

– Discuss with your client to ensure no bulk communication, message blasts, or cold prospecting message campaigns are sent in the near future before replying to the support ticket.

 

Error and Opt-Out Rates:

– High Opt-Out Rate: Indicates that contacts receiving your messages have objected, generated complaints, or marked your SMS as spam. A good opt-out rate is typically 0 – 1%. Once the opt-out rate hits 2%, the account will be locked for sending text messages for 24 hours.

– High Delivery Error Rate: Indicates sending SMS to contacts that are no longer in service, unreachable, or using a non-SMS-capable device such as a landline. This may also mean external carrier filters are refusing to deliver your SMS due to past bad sending behaviour. A good error rate is typically 0 – 6%. Once the error rate hits 12%, the account will be locked for sending text messages for 24 hours.

 

How to Remove Account Suspension Early:

The account suspension will be lifted in 24 hours. If the account is permanently suspended, refer to the article “Why is your account suspended” to unsuspend the account.

Note: One-on-one conversations, test SMS, resend messages, and missed call text back are allowed even if the account is suspended.

 

FAQs:

– How often does the SMS limit last? The SMS limit refreshes every 24 hours. For new accounts, the increments increase daily according to the ramp-up table. After the 8th day, the SMS limit is capped at 5000 per day.

– Can I send more than 5000 SMS per day? Once your location(s) hit the 8th-day mark (5000 SMS per day), you may request a limit extension from support.

– What happens when we hit our daily limit? Can we respond to SMS if a lead replies? No. The SMS daily limits affect all messaging activities, including manual SMS in conversations, automation within workflows, and bulk actions.

– Can we undo the DND option in bulk? No, this prevents sending SMS in bulk again after DND is enabled for the contacts.

– Does the auto-append Sender ID and Opt-Out Language feature apply to every first text of workflow or manual SMS? This feature is only applicable to bulk actions (Bulk SMS) and not to one-on-one conversations, workflows, or campaigns.
