MetroCast Do-Not-Call (DNC) Policy

Printer Friendly

1. In conducting telemarketing campaigns, MetroCast, or its third party telemarketing vendor, as the case may be, shall establish and maintain a company-specific DNC List, which shall include those customers and potential customers who have directly requested to MetroCast, or its telemarketing vendor, that they not be telemarketed. The individuals on this MetroCast DNC List shall be excluded from any future live and pre-recorded telephone solicitations for the sale of MetroCast products and services.
   
   
   1. To implement DNC requests, MetroCast or its telemarketing vendor must (a) Record each DNC request, regardless of the form in which such request is made, and (b) Place the requestor's telephone number on the DNC List at the time such DNC request is made. The process of recording a DNC request and deleting a requesting person's telephone number from MetroCast's telemarketing lists will be completed as expeditiously as possible, but in no event longer than thirty (30) days.
   
   
   
   2. MetroCast and its third party telemarketers shall maintain records of DNC requests for a minimum of five (5) years.
   
   
   
   3. Any DNC request shall be taken as a request for all campaigns going forward, not just the current campaign giving rise to the call, unless otherwise specified or requested by the consumer.



2. MetroCast shall not telemarket to consumers' phone numbers registered with the Federal DNC List or State DNC Lists, unless MetroCast has an "existing business relationship" with the consumer, as defined in the relevant statute and allowed by the FTC, FCC or the State. However, once a consumer with an existing business relationship with MetroCast requests directly to MetroCast or its telemarketing vendor to be placed on the MetroCast DNC List, that consumer shall be placed on the MetroCast DNC List and will not receive future telemarketing sales calls from MetroCast or its telemarketing vendor.
   
   
   
   
   
   1. MetroCast or its telemarketing vendor shall update its DNC List in accordance with the requirements of all applicable Federal and State law. MetroCast shall incorporate the Federal and applicable State DNC Lists as frequently as required.



3. All outbound automated sales calls shall comply with state and federal laws governing such calls. All DNC requests shall be honored as to automated calls as well as live calls. If a state has no provision for automated sales calls, federal law will apply.



4. All personnel engaged in any aspect of telephone solicitation must be informed of and trained in the existence and use of the DNC List and MetroCast policies and procedures with regard to DNC requests.
