Analysis of Proposed Consent Order To

Aid Public Comment

The Federal Trade Commission has

accepted, subject to final approval, an

agreement containing a consent order

from Voice Media Incorporated and its

two officers and owners, Ron Levi and

Paul Lesser (the ‘‘respondents’’).

The proposed consent order has been

placed on the public record for thirty

(30) days for receipt of comments by

interested persons. Comments received

during this period will become part of

the public record. After thirty (30) days,

the Commission will again review the

agreement and the comments received,

and will decide whether it should

withdraw from the agreement or make

final the agreement’s proposed order.

The respondents own and operate

several adult entertainment web sites.

They sell paid memberships to their

sites, and promote them by periodically

offering ‘‘free’’ trial memberships. This

matters concerns allegedly false and

deceptive representations about those

trial memberships. The Commission’s

proposed compliant alleges that the

respondents falsely claimed that they

would not charge membership fees to

consumers who canceled their trial

memberships within seven days of

providing credit card information and

agreeing to participate in the free trial

membership offers. In fact, in numerous

instances, the respondents charged

monthly membership fees to consumers

who canceled within seven days of

agreeing to participate in the trial

membership offers.

The complaint also alleges that the

respondents failed to disclose clearly

and conspicuously: (a) That they

immediately charge consumners’ credit

or debit cards for one month’s

membership fee effective as of the date

that the consumers first provide credit

or debit card information and agree to

participate in the free trial membership

offers; and (b) that they treat consumers’

submissions of credit or debit card

information as authorization to bill

consumers’ credit or debit accounts.

Part I of the proposed order prohibits

the respondents from making any false

or misleading representation of material

fact, or omission of material information

in connection with the advertising,

promotion, offering for sale, or sale of

any goods or services via the Iternet,

including, but not limited to, false or

misleading representations: (a) That

they will not charge consumers for

goods or services during any free-trial

period, (b) that their goods or services

are ‘‘free,’’ ‘‘without risk,’’ ‘‘without

charge,’’ or words or similar import

denoting or implying the absence of any

obligation on the part of the recipient of

such offer to pay for the goods or

services; and (c) that a request for a

consumer’s credit or debit card number

is for age verification only.

Part II of the proposed order prohibits

the respondents from requesting any

payment information, other than for

purposes of age verification, from any

consumer before ensuring that the

consumer has received notice of each of

the following material terms and

conditions: (a) The applicable

membership cost and the length of any

free or trial membership; (b) the way in

which a consumer may cancel,

including any limitation on the time

period during which a consumer must

cancel in order to avoid charges; (c) a

telephone number, facsimile number,

and e-mail address where consumers

can contact the Proposed Respondents;

and (d) access to the complete terms and

conditions of the respondents’ offer.

Part III of the proposed order

prohibits the respondents from: (a)

Billing any consumer who has not

agreed to purchase goods or services;

and (b) billing any consumer after the

expiration of any free or trial offer

without having first clearly and

conspicuously posted notice of the

expiration of the offer or provided

access to that information by means of

a clear and conspicuous hyperlink on

their log-in page.

Part IV of the proposed order

prohibits the respondents from : (a)

Unilaterally changing any terms or

conditions of their offer in a way that

would increase the consumer’s financial

obligations; or (b) materially altering the

cancellation or refund procedures or

terms, without first providing a

consumer with fifteen (15) days notice

and an opportunity to cancel. The

notice must be made clearly and

conspicuously.

Parts VI through IX of the proposed

order are reporting and compliance

provisions. Part X is a provision ‘‘sun

setting’’ the order after twenty years,

with certain exceptions.

The purpose of this analysis is to

facilitate public comment on the

proposed order. It is not intended to

constitute an official interpretation of

the agreement and proposed order or to

modify in any way their terms.

By direction of the Commission.

Donald S. Clark,

Secretary.
