What identifying information must the ACO license include on all contracts?

• A. The name, business address, business telephone number, license number of the ACO, and the registration number of any alarm agent who solicited or negotiated the work
• B. Only the license number and company name
• C. Owner’s home address and personal phone number
• D. The state license number and insurance policy number

Answer: (A)

Contract identification on an ACO contract must clearly show who you’re dealing with and how to reach them, plus who actually handled the solicitation or negotiation. The required information includes the name, business address, and business telephone number of the ACO, the ACO’s license number, and the registration number of any alarm agent who solicited or negotiated the work. This combination gives customers a verifiable trail: you can confirm the company’s licensed status, contact the business easily, and verify that the specific agent involved is properly registered. It also supports accountability and enforcement if issues arise.

Information like a owner’s home address or personal phone number isn't appropriate for a business contract, and asking for privacy-intrusive or unrelated details (such as an insurance policy number) isn’t part of the required contract identification. Providing only the license number and company name omits essential contact details and the agent’s registration, which reduces transparency and accountability.
