A quick definition of South Carolina:
South Carolina: In South Carolina, there are laws that regulate telemarketing and phone solicitation. These laws aim to protect people from unwanted calls and faxes. If you receive a telemarketing call, you can ask the caller to stop calling you. If they continue to call you, they are breaking the law. Similarly, if you receive a fax advertisement, you can ask the sender to stop sending you faxes. If they continue to send you faxes, they are also breaking the law.
A more thorough explanation:
Definition: South Carolina has laws in place to regulate telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation, as well as fax anti-solicitation. These laws are designed to protect consumers from unwanted phone calls and faxes from businesses and organizations.
Examples:
- Telemarketing and telephonic anti-solicitation: S.C. Code §§ 16-17-445, 16-17-446
- Fax anti-solicitation: S.C. Code §§ 15-75-50, 15-75-51
For example, if a telemarketing company based in South Carolina wants to make sales calls to consumers, they must comply with the state's laws regarding telemarketing. This includes obtaining a license from the state, maintaining a "do not call" list of consumers who have requested not to receive calls, and following certain rules about when and how they can make calls.
Similarly, if a business wants to send faxes to consumers in South Carolina, they must comply with the state's laws regarding fax anti-solicitation. This includes obtaining consent from the recipient before sending the fax, including certain information on the fax (such as the sender's contact information), and providing a way for the recipient to opt-out of future faxes.
