What are the restrictions on telemarketing?
Federal and Delaware laws prohibit deceptive and abusive telemarketing practices and protects consumers from unwanted calls. Under these laws:
* Telemarketing calls are restricted to between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m.
* Telemarketers must promptly identify themselves and tell you why they are calling.
* Telemarketers must disclose all material information accurately concerning performance, quality, efficacy, nature or basic characteristics of the merchandise and the terms of the sale.
* Telemarketers must get your express consent before billing charges.
* If calling about a prize promotion, telemarketers must give consumers: an accurate description of the prize; its market value; all material conditions to receive or redeem the prize; the actual number of prizes to be awarded; the odds of being able to receive the prize; the fact that no purchase or payment of any kind is required to win a prize or to participate in a prize promotion; and instructions on how to participate or an address or local or toll-free telephone number to which customers may write or call for information on how to participate in the prize promotion.
* Telemarketers must tell consumers that any sales transaction is not final for 7 business days and how they can cancel the sale.
