How You Opt In
You may provide express written consent to receive SMS messages from The Claim Forge through any of the following paths:
1. Web Intake Form
When you submit a claim, appraisal, or estimate through one of our intake forms on this website, you may check an SMS-consent box that appears next to the phone number field. The box is unchecked by default. The disclosure next to the checkbox reads:
I agree to receive SMS/text messages from The Claim Forge about my insurance claim and related services. Message frequency varies. Msg & data rates may apply. Reply STOP to opt out, HELP for help. Consent is not a condition of purchase.
2. Verbal or Written Consent (Manual Opt-In)
A Claim Forge staff member may collect your verbal or written consent in person, over the phone, or by email. We then send you a confirmation prompt as your first SMS, and we do not send any further messages until you reply YES.
3. Inbound Keyword
You can text START, BEGIN, JOIN, SUBSCRIBE, or YES to our number. You will receive the same confirmation prompt and will not be subscribed until you reply YES.
