Haw. Code R. § 16-99-68 - Prohibited advertising practices
(a) No school shall
provide any information to the public or to prospective students which is
false, misleading, or deceptive. Information is "misleading" when there may be
a possibility that it will deceive the class of persons whom it is intended to
influence.
(b) No school shall use
any name, other than the name under which it registered with the commission,
for advertising or publicity purposes.
(c) No school shall advertise that it is
"recommended," "endorsed," "approved," or "accredited" by the commission. A
school may indicate that it is "registered" with the commission to conduct
courses to qualify applicants for the real estate license
examination.
(d) No school shall
make any warranties or guarantees that a student will pass the real estate
license examination by taking its course.
(e) No school shall advertise that it is
endorsed by business establishments, organizations, or individuals engaged in
the kind of work for which training is given until written evidence of this
fact is filed with the commission.
(f) No school shall solicit students in "help
wanted" or other employment columns in newspapers or other publications or in
any other form of advertising other than that which shows itself clearly to be
that of a school seeking to enroll students.
(g) No school shall make or imply any
guarantee of employment or income to any student or prospective student unless
the school can in fact guarantee employment or income and the school does so in
writing.
(h) No school shall
advertise a course of instruction which has not been approved by the commission
unless the advertisement clearly states that it is a "proposed" or "tentative"
offering, subject to the approval of the commission. No money shall be
collected from any prospective student for enrollment in such a course until it
has been approved by the commission.
