Why this rule existsrationale

Selling consumer contact details onward is the activity the whole consent framework exists to stop, so a site that advertises it describes a business model carriers refuse rather than a page they want edited. The trap for honest businesses is the word rather than the trade: an ordinary shop with a partner or referral programme page reads, to a screen looking for exactly this, like a lead broker.

How to fix itremediation

Remove lead-generation, affiliate and SEO-services copy from the brand website and re-crawl before resubmitting; Telnyx states the remediation in exactly those terms. Done when nothing on the site offers to pass a visitor's details to anybody else. Where that copy describes what the business actually does, the registration cannot be saved by editing.

A compliant exampleexample

Replace "Join our affiliate network and monetise your traffic" with "Refer a friend and you both get $10 credit — we never share your friend's details."

Common mistakespitfalls

  • AWS and Twilio both mark their codes non-remediable, so a rejection under this heading ends that campaign even where the site edit would have been enough. Fix the site before submitting, not after.

Provider rejection codescodes

The code you get back when this rule is what failed, and whether that provider lets you resubmit.

Notesnotes

failureClass is TERMINAL_WEBSITE because the common case is removable copy and Telnyx publishes exactly that remediation, while the provider codes are marked non-remediable. The two answer different questions — ours is what to do before submitting, theirs is what happens after a rejection.
