1. Introduction

The purpose for Real Estate Agents to use Vulcan7 is to create a time-saving tool, as well as striving to keep Real Estate Agents legally compliant.

2. Vulcan7 Dialer Compliance

The Vulcan7 Dialer System is not an Autodialer.

            • The Vulcan7 Dialer System requires human intervention to use the Dialer System, and to make each dial; it cannot, and does not, dial on its own.

           

            • The Vulcan7 Dialer System cannot store, or produce, telephone numbers, using a random or sequential number generator.

           

            • The Vulcan7 Dialer System has the capacity to make only one (1) phone call at a time.

           

            • The Vulcan7 Dialer System requires that the Real Estate Agent, who is making the call, be present, on the phone line, for each phone number, which is being dialed.

           

              • The Vulcan7 Dialer System does not provide the functionality to be able to send a Short Message Service (SMS) or text.

             

            • The Vulcan7 Dialer System does not provide the functionality to be able to leave pre-recorded or artificial Voicemail Messages.

 

2a. National DNC Registry Compliance

            • All phone numbers that are added by Vulcan7, that are on the National DNC registry, are labeled DNC the first time they are uploaded to the Real Estate Agent's Vulcan7 account.

           

            • Based on the intent of the phone call, at the beginning of each dial session, the Real Estate Agents must choose whether to include or exclude numbers on the National DNC registry.

Kai Data continually updates the Vulcan7 CRM to comply with all guidelines and regulations.  They include many of the following:

3a. Email Compliance with Can-Spam Act

      • When Real Estate Agents import data to their Vulcan7 account, they are first prompted with a reminder of the guidelines and regulations.
      • The Real Estate Agents are then prompted to flag a contact that has 'opted-in' to their email list. Anyone that has not opted in will be excluded from email campaigns.
      • When Real Estate Agents export from their Vulcan7 account, they are again reminded of the guidelines and must agree to them before exporting contacts.
      • We provide Real Estate Agents with information regarding the various acts and guidelines.
