AR telephone seller bonds.
$1,500 flat. Soft pull.

What it is and who needs it.
What the bond actually guarantees
Arkansas regulates telemarketers under the Regulation of Telephonic Sellers act (A.C.A. § 4-99-101 et seq.). A telephonic seller registers annually with the Secretary of State, and the registration is conditioned on a surety bond. Under A.C.A. § 4-99-107 the bond runs in the amount of $50,000.
The bond is in favor of the State of Arkansas for the benefit of any person who suffers injury or loss from a violation of the telephonic seller law. A harmed consumer can be paid from the bond proceeds, or under a court order obtained by the Attorney General or a prosecuting attorney for a violation of the chapter. A copy of the bond is filed with the Secretary of State.
It is not insurance for you — if the surety pays a claim, you repay the surety. Sellers who follow the telephonic seller rules treat the bond as a registration formality, not a risk.
