A provider shall not:

1. Make a statement or representation regarding the provision of a telecommunication service, including, without limitation, a statement regarding the rates, terms or conditions of a telecommunication service, that:

(a) Is false, misleading or deceptive; or

(b) Fails to include material information which makes the statement or representation false, misleading or deceptive.

2. Misrepresent his or her identity.

3. Falsely state to a person that the person has subscribed or authorized a subscription to or has received a telecommunication service.

4. Omit, when explaining the terms and conditions of a subscription to a telecommunication service, a material fact concerning the subscription.

5. Fail to provide a customer with timely written notice containing:

(a) A clear and detailed description relating directly to the services for which the customer is being billed and the amount the customer is being charged for each service;

(b) All terms and conditions relating directly to the services provided; and

(c) The name, address and telephone number of the provider.

(a) The customer has authorized the change within the 30 days immediately preceding the date of the change; and

(b) The provider complies with the provisions of 47 U.S.C. § 258, as amended, and the verification procedures set forth in 47 C.F.R. part 64, subpart K, as amended.

11. Propose or enter into a contract with a person that purports to:

(a) Waive the protection afforded to the person by any provision of this section; or
