3Cent-Fax-Broadcast.com provides the delivery service only, and we
cannot provide legal advice. We suggest that you refer your
questions to an attorney for specific recommendations. However,
provided below is some information we have found regarding the laws,
and these should be reviewed. You should always have permission from
the recipient to send many types of faxes. We did read that in March
of 2003 a federal appeals court ruled that the TCPA "does not act as
a total ban on fax advertising. Advertisers may obtain consent for
their faxes through such means as telephone solicitation, direct
mailing, and interaction with customers in their shops." In summary,
"if an advertiser wishes to promote its business by fax, there are
many ways for it to secure the consent of willing potential
customers."
There is more information on the Telephone Consumer Protection Act
of 1991 (TCPA) available on the Internet. A reliable source is the
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), here are some informative
links:

It is recommended that companies making solicitations institute
procedures for maintaining do-not-call lists. Under the
company-specific do-not-call rules, once a consumer asks not to
receive faxes from a particular company, even if given permission in
the past, that this company should not fax that consumer. 3 Cent Fax
Broadcast highly recommends that a Do-Not-Send number be clearly
placed on the document to be faxed. We always provide, an opt-out
toll free number that allows the recipients the ability to
automatically add their fax number to OUR master Do-Not-Send list,
but this is for convenience only, as you should be extra diligent in
ensuring you are sending faxes only after obtaining permission.
Please be advised that we provide the delivery service only. The
customer is entirely responsible for their list and document, and
for complying with all applicable laws.
