Faxing

Who is up to date on the Faxing laws?

I notice that many associations put their member directories online. I want to fax them with a special offer because they are a member of that association. Is this legal?

What about if I hired my neighbor's kid to fax one to a time with a custom cover sheet for each person?

Thanks for the help!

Even if you customize the faxes, they are still unsolicited.

I'm not a lawyer -- but I think you need *written* permission from *each place* first, to do what you plan.

In other words -- a BIG PAIN.

The only exception is faxing to places with whom you have an already existing 'business relationship.'

Again, that's how I understand the law -- but I am not a lawyer.

I'd suggest consulting a lawyer, before you proceed.
