Please don’t spam!
I have a strict zero-tolerance policy against spamming.
Spam activities will not be tolerated to anyone who is promoting my products, programs or services online in any immoral, illegal or unethical manner, including UCE- unsolicited commercial email, also know as SPAM, so don’t misrepresent my products and offers.
Follow any endorsement rules and regulations that are applicable both in the country where you are based as well in the countries from which you are sending website traffic or advertising.
What is Spam?
Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including “junk mail”, which has not been requested by the recipient.
It is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources.
Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.
Questions to Ask Yourself
To help in establishing whether you are participating in activities constituting spam, ask yourself the following questions:
(a) Are you sending email to non-specific addresses, such as info@domain.com or sales@domain.com?
(b) Have you deliberately falsified your transmission path information or originating address?
(c) Are you sending email to mailing lists or distribution lists, which then send indirectly to various other
email addresses?
(d) Have you imported for use a purchased list of any type?
(e) Are you continuing to mail to anyone who has asked to be deleted from your mailing list?
(f) Does your email not provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?
(g) Does you email subject line contain false or misleading information?
(h) Have you used a third party’s email address or domain name without the party’s consent?
If your answer is YES to any of these questions, you are likely involved in spam activities!
Please be aware that by violation of the above rules and after receiving serious spam complaints, your name will be permanently excluded from my mailinglists and all of my products and I will terminate our customer relations immediately.
In short: by violating the anti-spam laws that are valid in most countries*, you must be aware of the following:
Warning: Do not promote products online in any immoral, illegal or unethical manner, including sending UCE – unsolicited commercial email, also known as SPAM. If I receive a complaint against any subscriber, his/her account will be immediately terminated and strict action will be taken against him/her. |

* SPAM LAWS U.S.A.
The CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for those who send commercial email, spells out penalties for spammers and companies whose products are advertised in spam if they violate the law, and gives consumers the right to ask emailers to stop spamming them.
The law, which became effective January 1, 2004, covers email whose primary purpose is advertising or promoting a commercial product or service, including content on a Web site. A “transactional or relationship message” � email that facilitates an agreed-upon transaction or updates a customer in an existing business relationship � may not contain false or misleading routing information, but otherwise is exempt from most provisions of the CAN-SPAM Act.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC), the nation’s consumer protection agency, is authorized to enforce the CAN-SPAM Act. CAN-SPAM also gives the Department of Justice (DOJ) the authority to enforce its criminal sanctions. Other federal and state agencies can enforce the law against organizations under their jurisdiction, and companies that provide Internet access may sue violators, as well.
Please note that I do not investigate or take any action based on “anonymous” spam complaints.
