Under federal common-law agency principles in the FCC\u2019s 2013 Declaratory Ruling (FCC 13-54), a seller can face vicarious liability for TCPA violations committed by third-party telemarketers acting on its behalf.<sup data-disclaimer-id=\"23\" data-disclaimer-index=\"2\">2<\/sup> That framework covers marketing agencies, contact centers, and lead-gen partners executing campaigns for brands.<\/p>\n<p>Three theories typically appear in litigation: actual authority, apparent authority, and ratification. Ratification creates particular risk for agencies and brands. A court can find ratification when a party learns of potential violations and does not take corrective action, such as pausing campaigns, updating scripts, or changing vendors.<\/p>\n<p>Consent and DNC obligations attach to the specific seller named in the consent record, so agencies must track them per client. An agency that sends texts for two different clients needs separate consent records for each. A consumer who consented to Client A\u2019s messages has not consented to Client B\u2019s outreach.<\/p>\n<p>This principle is reinforced by <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/tcpa-basics\/us-tcpa-compliance-requirements-telemarketing-regulations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(d)(3)<\/a>, which states that when a party other than the seller records or maintains do-not-call requests, the seller remains liable for failures to honor those requests. In practice, the brand and the agency both stay in the frame, even when a third party manages lists.<\/p>\n<h2>The Core Requirements: Five Pillars of TCPA Compliance<\/h2>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>Key Requirements: TCPA Compliance for Agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Prior Express Written Consent (PEWC)<\/strong> for autodialed or prerecorded calls and texts, as defined in 47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(f)(9).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Time restrictions<\/strong>: calls and texts only <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/tcpa-basics\/tcpa-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">between 8 a.m. and 9 p.m. local time at the recipient\u2019s location<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>DNC compliance<\/strong>: National Registry scrubbing at least every 31 days under 47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(c)(2)(i)(D).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Caller ID and disclosure requirements<\/strong>: accurate caller ID plus agent name, company name, and contact information on every outbound contact.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Opt-out and revocation handling<\/strong>: honor within 10 business days and maintain internal suppression lists per client for at least 5 years under <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(d)(3) and (d)(6)<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Each pillar needs enforcement at the campaign level for each client. A single global DNC scrub or consent list for the entire agency does not align with how regulators and courts assign responsibility.<\/p>\n<h2>New TCPA Developments Impacting 2026 Campaigns<\/h2>\n<p>Several recent FCC actions and court decisions affect how agencies structure outbound programs. Leadership teams should understand these shifts before planning 2026 campaigns.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC\u2019s one-to-one consent rule came in December 2023 and was later vacated by the Eleventh Circuit in January 2025 in <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/affiliate-marketing-lead-consent-tcpa-responsibility-chain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\"><em>Insurance Marketing Coalition v. FCC<\/em> (No. 24-10277)<\/a>. The court found that the FCC exceeded its statutory authority. The underlying requirement that consent clearly identify the caller still appears in <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/affiliate-marketing-lead-consent-tcpa-responsibility-chain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(f)(9)<\/a>, and courts continue to reject broad \u201cmarketing partners\u201d consent language.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC\u2019s revocation rules, effective April 11, 2025, describe how consumers can revoke consent by any reasonable method. Callers must honor revocations within 10 business days. A broader rule that would treat a single revocation as cutting off all communications from the same sender has been delayed to January 31, 2027.<\/p>\n<p>The FCC\u2019s February 8, 2024 Declaratory Ruling classifies AI-generated voices as \u201cartificial\u201d under the TCPA. AI voice calls now sit in the same consent bucket as prerecorded messages. Telemarketing AI calls to cell phones require prior express written consent.<\/p>\n<p>In March 2026, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking on call center onshoring. This NPRM outlines potential future requirements but does not yet create binding obligations.<sup data-disclaimer-id=\"26\" data-disclaimer-index=\"5\">5<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>On July 14, 2026, the Seventh Circuit decided <a href=\"https:\/\/kirkland.com\/publications\/kirkland-alert\/2026\/07\/seventh-circuit-holds-text-messages-are-not-calls-under-the-tcpa\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\"><em>Steidinger v. Blackstone Medical Services<\/em><\/a>. The court held that text messages are not \u201ccalls\u201d under Section 227(c)(5) of the TCPA, creating a circuit split with the Ninth Circuit. The decision does not change other TCPA text-message requirements, including consent under Section 227(b) and revocation handling.<\/p>\n<h2>Financial Exposure: Penalties for TCPA Violations<\/h2>\n<p>TCPA exposure scales quickly for high-volume operations. Statutory damages under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plura.ai\/compare\/plura-ai-vs-bland-ai\" target=\"_blank\">47 U.S.C. \u00a7 227(b)(3)<\/a> are $500 per violation, with potential trebling to $1,500 for willful or knowing violations. Each call or text counts as a separate violation. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.plura.ai\/compare\/plura-ai-vs-bland-ai\" target=\"_blank\">A campaign of 10,000 records with bad consent can create $5 million to $15 million in potential exposure.<\/a><sup data-disclaimer-id=\"24\" data-disclaimer-index=\"3\">3<\/sup><\/p>\n<p>TCPA claims carry a four-year statute of limitations under <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/tcpa-basics\/tcpa-guidelines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">28 U.S.C. \u00a7 1658<\/a>. <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">WebRecon\u2019s January 2026 litigation statistics show that 77.6% of TCPA filings were putative class actions<\/a><sup data-disclaimer-id=\"24\" data-disclaimer-index=\"3\">3<\/sup>, so most matters arrive at class scale. Agencies can appear alongside clients under vicarious liability theories.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.plura.ai\/compare\/plura-ai-vs-bland-ai\" target=\"_blank\">Class action settlements have averaged $6.6 million<\/a><sup data-disclaimer-id=\"24\" data-disclaimer-index=\"3\">3<\/sup>, and some individual enforcement actions have reached hundreds of millions of dollars. For agencies that dial or text at scale, a single systemic gap can become a balance-sheet event.<\/p>\n<h2>Collecting Prior Express Written Consent for Each Client<\/h2>\n<p>Strong consent flows give agencies and clients the best footing when campaigns are challenged. Consent must be clear, conspicuous, and specific to the seller. Under <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(f)(9)<\/a>, prior express written consent is a written agreement that bears the signature of the person called and clearly authorizes a specific seller to deliver marketing messages using an autodialer or artificial or prerecorded voice. The agreement also states that consent is not a condition of purchase.<\/p>\n<p>Lead form practices that support agency campaigns include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A clear, unchecked checkbox that requires affirmative consumer action.<\/li>\n<li>A disclosure that names the specific client by legal entity name instead of \u201cour partners.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>A statement that consent is not a condition of purchase.<\/li>\n<li>A link to the client\u2019s privacy policy.<\/li>\n<li>Timestamped consent records that store IP address, source URL, and the exact disclosure text shown at the time of opt-in.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Compliant disclosure language for a lead form can read: \u201cBy clicking Submit, I agree to be contacted by [Client Legal Name] at the number I provided, including by autodialer or prerecorded message, for marketing purposes. Consent is not a condition of purchase.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Non-compliant language reads: \u201cBy submitting this form, you agree to be contacted by our marketing partners.\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/fcc-one-to-one-consent-rule-telemarketing-january-27-2025-loophole\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Courts have repeatedly struck down such language<\/a> because it does not clearly identify who will be calling.<\/p>\n<h2>Do Not Call List Compliance for Agency Campaigns<\/h2>\n<p>Agencies need DNC controls that match how they actually run campaigns. They must scrub against the National DNC Registry and maintain internal suppression lists for each client. <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">The DNC scrub must use a registry version obtained no more than 31 days before any call under 47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(c)(2)(i)(D)<\/a>. Internal do-not-call requests must be honored within 10 business days and retained for 5 years under <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(d)(3) and (d)(6)<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>DNC scrubbing needs to occur per client. A number on Client A\u2019s suppression list may still be reachable for Client B if the consumer separately consented to Client B\u2019s outreach. Mixing suppression lists across clients can create compliance gaps and also remove valid records, which reduces reachable volume.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/possiblenow.com\/resources\/do-not-call-solutions\/how-to-ensure-your-outbound-marketing-team-adheres-to-dnc-rules\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Dialers should determine the recipient\u2019s time zone based on actual geographic location, not area code<\/a>. Consumers frequently keep numbers after moving. A 6 p.m. call from a Pacific-time office to an Eastern-time consumer at 9:05 p.m. in their local time falls outside the permitted window.<\/p>\n<h2>Multi-Client Attribution: Keeping Consent and DNC Separate<\/h2>\n<p>Multi-client operations introduce a specific operational risk: mixing consent and DNC data across brands. A consumer who opted out of Client A\u2019s messages has not opted out of Client B\u2019s messages. A consumer who consented to Client A\u2019s outreach has not consented to Client B\u2019s campaigns. Treating these records as interchangeable often drives agency-level TCPA exposure.<\/p>\n<p>A practical multi-client attribution framework includes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Separate consent records for each client, tagged to the client\u2019s legal entity name.<\/li>\n<li>Separate DNC suppression lists for each client, with documented scrub dates.<\/li>\n<li>Separate opt-out lists for each client, with timestamps and revocation method recorded.<\/li>\n<li>Audit trails for each client, exportable on demand for legal review or carrier requirements.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Use a CRM or compliance platform that tags consent and DNC status by client and campaign. <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/how-to-require-tcpa-compliance-from-your-affiliate-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Under 47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(d)(3)<\/a>, when a party other than the seller records or maintains do-not-call requests, the seller remains liable for failures to honor those requests. Technology partners can help manage the process, but they do not remove the underlying responsibility.<\/p>\n<p>Once internal tracking is in place, the next major risk area is the source of leads. Lead generation consent often fails to name the specific client, which creates exposure before a campaign even starts.<\/p>\n<h2>Lead Generation Consent: Closing the \u201cMarketing Partners\u201d Gap<\/h2>\n<p>Lead-buying programs can quietly introduce TCPA risk into otherwise disciplined operations. Broad consent to \u201cmarketing partners\u201d remains a litigation risk even after the one-to-one rule was vacated. A consumer who agreed to hear from a long list of \u201cpartners\u201d can argue they never agreed to outreach from a specific caller by name. <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">The vacating of the FCC one-to-one rule did not validate broad consent language; it left the prior standard in place.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When buying leads, agencies can require contractual representations that consent was collected naming the agency\u2019s specific client. <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/how-to-handle-tcpa-compliance-when-buying-third-party-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Before purchasing third-party leads, send vendors a written questionnaire<\/a>. Request a sample consent record with timestamp and IP address, the exact consent form text consumers saw, confirmation of DNC scrubbing frequency, and a signed compliance attestation. Spot-check a sample of leads to confirm consumers remember opting in to the specific client by name.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/astoriacompany.com\/tcpa-compliance-tips-for-lead-generation-in-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Lead generation forms should avoid vague language like \u201cour partners\u201d or \u201cthird-party marketers\u201d<\/a>. Forms should list the exact legal name of the business that will contact the consumer, with the disclosure placed immediately next to the consent mechanism.<\/p>\n<h2>Contracts and Vendor Management for TCPA Controls<\/h2>\n<p>Vendor oversight is a core part of an agency\u2019s TCPA risk posture. <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/how-to-require-tcpa-compliance-from-your-affiliate-network\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">Generic \u201ccomply with all applicable laws\u201d language has been rejected by courts as insufficient<\/a> because it does not show that the brand exercised real oversight. Vendor contracts benefit from specific operational controls, audit rights, and clear allocation of liability.<\/p>\n<p>A vendor compliance checklist for agency operations includes:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Confirm that the vendor collects and stores full consent records (timestamp, IP address, source URL, exact disclosure text, affirmative action) and can produce them within 72 hours of a request.<\/li>\n<li>Require proof of National DNC Registry scrubs within 31 days before any campaign.<\/li>\n<li>Require indemnification that names TCPA and applicable state mini-TCPA statutes explicitly and covers statutory damages and defense costs from day one.<\/li>\n<li>Secure audit rights with a defined production deadline, typically 72 hours for consent records.<\/li>\n<li>Require errors and omissions or commercial general liability insurance with the agency named as an additional insured, with a minimum of $1 million per occurrence for smaller vendors and higher limits for high-volume partners.<\/li>\n<li>Run vendor names and key principals through PACER to check for prior TCPA litigation history before signing.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/henson-legal.com\/newsroom\/lead-generation-vendor-audit-tcpa-compliance\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">A compliance clause in a vendor contract is a promise, but an audit is proof.<\/a> Run formal audits quarterly for high-volume vendors and annually for lower-volume ones, and document every audit in writing.<\/p>\n<h2>How Plura AI Helps Agencies Support Compliance<\/h2>\n<p>Plura AI is an FCC-licensed communications platform built for high-volume outbound operations.

The Eleventh Circuit vacated it in January 2025 in <em>Insurance Marketing Coalition v. FCC<\/em>, finding that the FCC exceeded its statutory authority. The requirement that consent clearly identify the caller remains in <a href=\"https:\/\/leadcompliant.com\/articles\/consent-and-optin\/affiliate-marketing-lead-consent-tcpa-responsibility-chain\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(f)(9)<\/a>, and courts continue to treat broad \u201cmarketing partners\u201d language as weak support for prior express written consent.<\/p>\n<h3>Can an Agency Use a Lead Generator\u2019s Consent for Its Client?<\/h3>\n<p>An agency can rely on a lead generator\u2019s consent when the consent form specifically names the client as the seller. Generic consent to \u201cmarketing partners\u201d does not align with the requirement that consent clearly authorize a specific seller to deliver messages. Agencies can request the exact consent form text, confirm that the client\u2019s legal name appears in the disclosure, and retain a copy of that consent record tied to each lead before automated outreach begins.<\/p>\n<h3>Do Agencies Need to Scrub DNC for Every Campaign?<\/h3>\n<p>Agencies need DNC scrubbing that matches each client\u2019s campaigns. The National DNC Registry must be scrubbed at least every 31 days before any call under 47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(c)(2)(i)(D), and internal suppression lists must be maintained for each client. Each client\u2019s campaigns should have their own DNC documentation, including scrub date, record count, and scrub provider.<\/p>\n<h3>What Are the Penalties for TCPA Violations?<\/h3>\n<p>As outlined in the penalties section above, statutory damages generally range from $500 to $1,500 per violation, and most TCPA matters arrive as putative class actions. Agencies can review the earlier \u201cFinancial Exposure\u201d section for the full breakdown and example calculations.<\/p>\n<h3>How Should Agencies Handle Opt-Outs Across Multiple Clients?<\/h3>\n<p>Agencies should maintain separate suppression lists for each client and treat opt-outs at the client level. A consumer who opts out of Client A\u2019s messages has not automatically opted out of Client B\u2019s messages. When a consumer revokes consent for a specific client through any reasonable method, that revocation should apply across all campaigns for that client. Under FCC rules effective April 2025, revocations must be honored within 10 business days. Internal do-not-call requests must be retained for at least 5 years under <a href=\"https:\/\/insurancemarketingco.com\/blog\/tcpa-compliance-for-insurance-agents-buying-leads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noindex nofollow\">47 C.F.R. \u00a7 64.1200(d)(6)<\/a>, and opt-out requests from any channel should feed into the relevant client\u2019s suppression list.<\/p>\n<hr data-disclaimer-divider=\"true\">\n<div data-disclaimer-footer=\"true\">\n<p data-disclaimer-id=\"22\" data-disclaimer-type=\"content_based\"><sup data-disclaimer-index=\"1\">1<\/sup> Plura AI maintains SOC 2, HIPAA, ISO, and GDPR posture as part of its platform infrastructure.
