As a reminder to our premium rate clients, the following verbiage and disclaimers are required on your compliant websites. There has been a recent increase in audits around these requirements. We recommend reviewing your website as soon as possible to avoid an audit in the near future.

• The disclaimer “All purchases must be authorized by the account holder” must be visible above the fold on the compliance website. We are starting to see audits around this issue, so be proactive and add it to your website today to avoid an audit in the near future.
