I have used a couple of companies to buy leads and found that they were so cold that it was a total waste of time. I contacted each one I had and they were usually totaly surprised I called and were not in the market for a house. I wouldn't have cared if they called them to verify theirquality. Mine were crap and I paid good money. When I terminated I decided never again.

30 years as your Concierge broker
EDITED: Actually it's a marketing company that you pay a montly fee. They build you a website http://www.tustinfoothills-realestate.com/ they have a back end drip system which everybody does these days and it's suppose to bring in my own lead source.
What I did not know was they were calling my leads behind my back and when I questioned it, they said they were verifiying the info.
It took me 27 years to build my company name and reputation and don't need some non licensed person calling them and plugging me as spam.
Annette: They measure assessment by putting the lead info in - intelius.com secondly they use feedback from broker/agents.

I don't know if it's legal or not, I guess it would depend on the terms of service. Though, I have never signed up to pay for leads from anyone.

Doyle,
Is it legal for you to sign up on a website to look at homes for some reason or other, and if you wished, you could use an alias. Then, you are considered a lead by these companies, whether or not you are a real lead is not an issue, they are selling leads.
The lead sellers are not willing to make sure the leads are bona fide. One of my friends challenged one of those telling them she would pay only for genuine leads...there weren't any! A

As you know LEGAL questions can only be answered by an attorney.
But I think what you are asking is "Can a lead selling company check if your assessment of the quality of their product is proper?"
Of course they can and should, but it must be a call regarding quality assurance, not whether Doyle responded in a timely manner, with proper data, regarding the issues that concerned the citizen in a manner that was acceptable to the citizen. All of these, however, are important to understand when QUALITY is what is being assessed.
How do you suggest the vendor measure the value of your assessement?
