DO-NOT-CALL SOLICITOR
NOTIFICATION
As you are likely aware, the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) have established
a national Do-Not-Call Registry. As part of the do-not-call initiative, the FCC
requires us to notify customers who use our service for making telephone solicitations
(telemarketing calls) regarding the national Do-Not-Call rules and regulations.
We recognize that few of our customers use our services for telemarketing; however,
because we do not have records indicating which customers may do telemarketing,
we are contacting all business customers. If you are a company, individual, or
other entity that makes telemarketing calls, it is very important that you familiarize
yourself with the operations of the national Do-Not-Call Registry and the rules
requiring checking of the national Do-Not-Call Registry as part of making telemarketing
calls. Unless you fall under one of the exceptions established in the FCC/FTC
rules (such as the exception for telemarketing by charitable organizations or
for prior business relationships), you may not make telemarketing calls to numbers
included in the national Do-Not-Call Registry. Before you rely on one of the exceptions,
you should consult the rules. For information about the regulations, you may visit
the national Do-Not-Call Registry at www.donotcall.gov. You can find the FCC and
FTC rules governing telemarketing and telephone solicitation, at 47 C.F.R. §
64.1200 and 16 C.F.R. Part 310, respectively.
