Telemarketing Sales Rule

The Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) is a federal regulation designed to protect consumers from deceptive and abusive telemarketing practices. It sets guidelines on how telemarketers can communicate with potential customers, requiring them to provide clear information about the goods or services offered, including price and terms. The rule prohibits calling numbers on the National Do Not Call Registry, and restricts certain deceptive practices, like misleading statements about the product. Additionally, it mandates that telemarketers honor requests to stop calling. Overall, the TSR aims to ensure fair practices and safeguard consumers' rights in telemarketing.
