56:11-25. Credit card transaction forms by accepters
2. a. Any person, firm, partnership, association or corporation which accepts credit cards used exclusively for credit card transactions shall only use credit card forms which:
(1) are carbonless;
(2) after the transaction is complete, do not render a separate piece of paper, carbon or otherwise, which readily identifies the cardholder by name or number, other than those necessary for use by the seller, credit cardholder and issuer to complete the credit card transaction;
(3) are carbonized backed forms that may be retained for recordkeeping purposes of the seller, the seller's agent or subcontractor, the issuer or the credit cardholder; or
(4) have a perforated or split carbon, half of which is disposable, and upon completion of the transaction the disposable portion of the carbon renders only half of the cardholder's name and account number.
b. No person, firm, partnership, association or corporation which accepts credit cards for the transaction of business shall be deemed to have violated the provisions of subsection a. of this section, if that person, firm, partnership, association or corporation shows by a preponderance of evidence that the violation was not intentional and resulted from bona fide error made notwithstanding the maintenance of procedures reasonably adopted to avoid any such error.
c. The provisions of subsection a. of this section shall not apply to forms used for a special purpose incidental to the credit card transaction but related to shipping, delivery or installment of purchased merchandise or special orders.
