Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act 1992

'The Telephone Disclosure and Dispute Resolution Act was enacted on October 28, 1992, to regulate and oversee the pay-per-call industry. The law aims to protect consumers from unfair and deceptive practices by requiring pay-per-call services to clearly disclose costs, stop assessing time-based charges upon disconnection, and provide refunds for programs that have been found to have violated regulations. The Federal Trade Commission is responsible for enforcing these rules and may bring civil actions against violators.'
