Deceptive Mail Prevention and Enforcement Act (DMPEA)
Junk Fax Prevention Act (JFPA) In addition to regulations governing direct mailings, the TCPA, as amended by the Junk Fax Prevention Act , prohibits most unsolicited fax advertisements. The Junk Fax Prevention Act prohibits sending unsolicited advertisements to any fax machine, whether at a residence or business, without the recipient’s prior express permission. Liability for a violation of the law applies to the company whose advertisement is sent, even if the sender is a third-party fax broadcaster. An exception in the Junk Fax Prevention Act allows a person to send a fax to a recipient with whom the sender has an existing business relationship, so long as the recipient volunteered its fax number. Senders must honor requests from recipients to opt-out of receiving unwanted faxes. Placing oneself on a do-not-call list does not prevent fax solicitations. Fax machine numbers may however be separately registered.
