SPAM consists mainly of
one of two things:
-
The
sending of unsolicited email - meaning that the recipient of your
email hasn't specifically requested the information you are sending,
and/or the recipient of your email hasn't specifically agreed to
receive your email.
-
Inappropriate postings in the USENET Newsgroups - meaning that your
post has nothing to do with the topic of discussion for that
particular newsgroup.
If you
are going to SPAM (as outlined above) you are not allowed to include any
URL that either directly points to any Ad-Showcase.com web page or to a
page that links to any Ad-Showcase.com web page. You are also not
allowed to mention the name Ad Showcase in your emails.
In
addition, in order to be CanSpam compliant, all email messages must
include the following items:
-
Your
legal name or registered business name.
-
A
current and valid email address that you check daily by which
recipients may contact you or request removal
-
Subject
lines must not be deceptive to mislead the recipient as to the actual
content of the email.
-
You must
never forge the email headers.
-
A way
for recipients of your email to remove themselves (unsubscribe) from
future emails.
If Ad
Showcase is forwarded a spam complaint that links to your Ad Showcase
web site and the above criteria are not found in your email then you
risk immediate termination.
Removal
requests by the recipient must be dealt with immediately. Ad Showcase
does not allow you to send further emails to the recipient after the
first Removal request is received by you. We suggest you save all
removal requests for future reference in case you are accused of spam.
If Ad
Showcase is sent a copy of a removal request and we have proof that
future emails were sent to the same recipient you risk immediate
termination.
By
agreeing to these terms you acknowledge you understand that if you
violate our Spam policy your Ad Showcase membership may be terminated
immediately and you will forfeit all unpaid and future commissions and
access to the Ad Showcase Members Only Site.
You also
acknowledge that if your violation of this policy causes any damage or
loss to our servers, or causes one (or more) of our web sites to be
interrupted from normal service, you will be held liable for damages and
loss of business.
It is
important to understand that every web site, including Ad Showcase,
exists on the Internet through the services of an Internet Service
Provider (ISP). All ISP's are heavily regulated and take swift action
when any of their clients are generating spam complaints.
If an ISP
is not responsible in dealing with such clients they risk having their
business shut down. As a result, ISP's are very strict with their
clients.
As a
result, Ad Showcase must also enforce strict guidelines to reduce spam.
Not doing so puts thousands of Ad Showcase members' businesses in
jeopardy of being taken offline by our ISP. So to protect you, your Ad
Showcase business, and our business we require you to follow the Ad
Showcase Spam Policy closely..
Ignorance is no
defense where SPAM is concerned - when in doubt, contact us first.
