The following information is provided in an effort to promote
responsible use of the BabyBroadcast.com service.
The
BabyBroadcast.com service places the ability to launch an entire
telemarketing campaign in the hands of you the subscriber.
BabyBroadcast.com respects your privacy. We will not monitor
your audio messages, read or share database upload information
with any third party without your expressed permission unless we
believe in good faith that such action is necessary to either
comply with the law or properly enforce the BabyBroadcast.com
terms of service agreement. Since it is you the subscriber who
creates the audio announcement, provides the calling list, and
most importantly launches your own calling campaign, we here at
BabyBroadcast.com feel it necessary to provide you the
subscriber with the following information in an effort to insure
that all BabyBroadcast.com subscriber calling campaigns are
conducted responsibly.
Prior to
using BabyBroadcast.com make sure you are familiar with any
Federal or State Laws that would be applicable to your call
campaign.
Be
respectful of proper calling time restrictions that would be
applicable to your specific call campaign.
Maintain
and use the BabyBroadcast.com "Do Not Call List" management
tools available to you at no charge as part of your
BabyBroadcast.com service. You may contact BabyBroadcast.com if
wish to upload an existing do not call list. In the event a
recipient makes a request to be taken off your calling list, do
so immediately and indefinitely. Allowing those on your calling
list to be removed and avoiding calls to those who do not wish
to be called plays a very important role with regard to
responsible calling campaigns.
Follow
Federal and State calling time rules and or restrictions.
Clearly
state the identity of the caller at the beginning of your audio
message and provide proper contact information such as phone
number and address during call.
Avoid
strings of numbers as it is unlawful to engage two or more lines
of a multi-line business. BabyBroadcast.com offers free of
charge an "auto removal of strings of phone numbers feature"
free of charge as part of your BabyBroadcast.com service.
It is
unlawful to send audio messages to any emergency phone lines.
For example, 911 numbers, hospital medical service lines,
physicians, health care facilities, poison control centers, fire
or law enforcement agencies.
Avoid
sending unsolicited audio messages to those who will incur
charges. For example: beepers, pagers or cell phones unless
proper prior permission has been obtain by the recipient.
Avoid
sending pre-recorded sales messages to those with whom you do
not have a business relationship and to whom you haven't
received permission to call.
The
Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA)
http://www.fcc.gov, the Federal Trade Commission
http://www.ftc.gov and the Federal Communications Commission
http://www.fcc.gov do not call list registry rules
http://www.donotcall.gov and various State laws place
restrictions on certain types of phone calls. Typically a call
may be exempt from the TCPA if the call:
-
Is made on behalf of a non-profit organization.
-
Is made to a consumer with whom the calling company
has an existing business relationship.
-
Business to business contact.
-
Does not include an unsolicited advertisement, even if
the call is made for commercial purpose.

Recipient provides proper consent prior to playing the
"recorded solicitation". BabyBroadcast.com has a "permission
based introduction" feature that can be used free of charge.
This feature allows only those consumers who have provided
proper permission to listen to the "recorded solicitation"
part of the call. If permission is not granted, then the
solicitation is not presented.
BabyBroadcast.com is in no way attempting to interpret the TCPA
of 1991 nor the laws of any State. This information provided is
not intended to replace the responsibility of you the subscriber
to check out the legal requirements pertaining to your call
campaign prior to using BabyBroadcast.com services. You are
ultimately responsible to make your own informed decisions
regarding your call campaign.
