Matt, the one I posted has this in their FAQs:
Isn't Voice Broadcasting illegal
Yes and No. It is illegal to call homes in Indiana and North Dakota with any type of pre-recorded message. It is legal for many applications in the majority of the US. Check with your local state and the Telemarketing Sales Rules found on the FCC homepage.
They also say:
What about the Federal Do Not Call List Registry? Does your company maintain a list of those numbers?
Yes. We "scrub" our database as set forth by the Federal and State standards at no cost to you. We perform maintenance on this monthly. It is recommended that you have a federal SANS number prior to utilizing this service.
If you sued, they could claim full disclosure with these CYA statements. But if the FTC has hit them with a big fine, what could you get? They would have first claim.
As far as your saying you didn't know, the old saying, "Ignorance of the law is no excuse" still holds true. In the end we are responsible to verify the legality of our marketing efforts.
Very interesting! thanks for the clarification
