 organization fails to comply with terms of a contract.  The 
 operator of the system shall keep all messages confidential, 
 shall train personnel in the unique needs of 
 communication-impaired people, and shall inform 
 communication-impaired persons and the public of the

 relay a message unless it originates or terminates through a 
 communication device for the deaf or a Brailling device for use 
 with a telephone.
