Home > Fax Marketing > The Fax Preference Service

Anybody using fax marketing in the UK has to abide by the Fax Preference Service (FPS). 

The FPS is a centrally-held, government-regulated opt-out list of fax numbers - it's illegal to fax them. With Meridian Delta, you are covered with our double guarantee. 

Under the law, you can only fax private limited companies, public limited companies, charities and public sector organisations.

You can however only fax these organisations if their number has not been listed on the FPS register. Customers use the FPS service to stop receiving unsolicited sales faxes.

Under no circumstances are you allowed to fax individuals, sole traders, or partnerships unless you have their prior written consent.

Failure to observe these regulations will mean investigation by Data Commissioner at the Fax Preference Service. Although fines on first and second offences are rare, fines from the third illegal fax advert can go to £5,000 per fax.

Registering on the FPS does work, and can reduce the number of unsolicited faxes to near nothing.

If you are considering using fax advertising but do not wish to go through a company like us, please make sure you comply with these regulations.

All numbers are double checked before they are sent out - by two different outside contractors. If a mistake happens, you're covered.

ALL MERIDIAN DELTA FAX CAMPAIGNS OBEY THESE REGULATIONS AND IT IS IN OUR SALES TERMS AND CONDITIONS THAT WE TAKE FULL LEGAL AND FINANCIAL RESPONSIBILITY SHOULD WE MAKE A MISTAKE.
