Anti-Discrimination

WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR will not discriminate against you because you exercised your rights under California Civil Code section 1798.100, et seq., including, but not limited to, by:

• Denying goods or services to you.
• Charging you different prices or rates for goods or services, including through the use of discounts or other benefits or imposing penalties.

New York Nuisance Act

• WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR and its agents must inform consumers on a call that the consumer can request that his or her number be added to WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR’s internal do not call list. If the customer does so, the agent must immediately end the call and add the number to the list or cause the number to be added to the list.
  • WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR call scripts should be modified, if necessary, in order to comply with this requirement.
• WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR can’t sell or transfer customer contact information without express agreement in writing or electronic format.
  • By obtaining consent through its landing pages, WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR is complying with this requirement. I also believe that obtaining consent via voice recording should qualify as a “writing” for purposes of this new law, as it does under the E-Sign Act for purposes of the TCPA—but note that there is not yet a definitive answer under the New York Nuisance Call Act on this issue.
• WHEREISMYCONTRACTOR must preserve call/consent records for two years.
