Compliance

Outbound SMS and the Spam Act, a dealer-friendly summary

The three tests that determine whether your outbound SMS is legal.

8 October 2025 · 7 min read · SpectraIQ Compliance

Consent

Express or inferred. Inferred consent depends on an existing customer relationship and reasonable expectation. Old leads are not inferred-consent territory by default.

Identification

The sender must be clearly identified. 'SpectraIQ' in the body is not enough, your dealership trading name should appear.

Unsubscribe

A functional, no-cost, low-friction opt-out. The Spam Act requires this to be honoured within 5 business days; good practice is instantly.

Practical safeguards

Frequency caps per customer per month. Quiet hours respected. State-by-state public holiday awareness. Audit trail for every send.
