Anti-Spam Policy for www.hoodiadietpillsreview.com
(Last Updated: April 28, 2008)
www.hoodiadietpillsreview.com is committed to
permission-based email
marketing practices, and as a result has established this no-tolerance
Anti-Spam Policy. WCF will occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy.
When it does, WCF will also revise the last update date at the top of this
Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to this policy, WCF will notify you (the
customer) by placing a notice on its web site home page.
1.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.
2.Preventing Spam
Customers of WCF products and services have agreed during their
registration process, upon accepting the Terms of Use, to comply with
this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each customer agrees not to use the
WCF products or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email,
whether or not for commercial purposes. WCF reserves the right to
determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable spam, as well
as what measures are necessary in response to such spam activities.
3.How TAC Helps You to Avoid Spamming
WCF has developed its Internet marketing tools to incorporate a strict
permission-based philosophy. This anti-spam philosophy is implemented
through the following:
(a) Communication and Agreement.
The Terms of Use that you have agreed to as part of registering for the
TAC products and services state how and for what purposes you can
collect your site visitor addresses, and that you will follow the WCF
Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.
(b) Unsubscription.
Each email created using WCF products contains an unsubscribe link. If
your web site visitors use the link to request that they be unsubscribed,
your subscriber lists will automatically be adjusted to eliminate the
prospect of sending unwanted email to such persons. Additionally, each
person on your subscriber list has the option of unsubscribing through a
web-based method provided on the WCF web site. Customers of WCF
who try to remove the unsubscribe link will be warned that they are doing
so, and if they persist in having the link removed or deactivated in any
way, then WCF will have the right to terminate their account.
(c) Purchased Mailing Lists
Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not
allowed. WCF only allows opt-in mailing lists. Purchased or inherited
lists are by definition not opt-in. Similarly, you cannot use an email list
relating to particular subject matter, and then use it for an unrelated topic.
4.Laws Restricting Spam
Spam laws vary from state to state, and from country to country. This
WCF Anti-Spam Policy has been developed to conform to the highest
commercially reasonable standards. As a result, and without limiting the
general prohibitions against all spam activities, the following are expressly
prohibited:
(a) Use of false headers, or other false information, to identify the point of
origin or the transmission path of the email, or to hide the true origin of
the email sender,
(b) Unauthorized use of a third party's internet domain name without the
permission of such third party, to make it appear that the third party was
the point of origin of the email,
(c) Use of any false or misleading information in the subject line of the email,
and
(d) Assisting any person in using the products or services of TAC for any of
these previously mentioned activities.
5.
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 you answer yes to any of these questions, you are likely involved in
spam activities, and should contact WCF customer support service at
support@hoodiadietpillsreview.com.
6.Measures to Enforce the Anti-Spam Policy
Any WCF customer found to be using WCF products or services for
spamming purposes may, at WCF's discretion, be immediately cut off
from use of all WCF products and services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per
occurrence, with no refund of fees that have been paid.
WCF warns all of its customers when signing up that if they participate in
spamming activities they will be subject to the loss of WCF services, fines
and possible legal action.
WCF has the right to actively review its customers subscriber lists
and email for suspiciously large broadcasts. If WCF finds any customers
to be spamming, it will issue a warning, and if the activities are serious
enough, WCF will take action immediately. If WCF has any reason to
believe that the customer, despite warning being given, threatens to or is
continuing to send spam, then WCF may take action immediately,
including disabling the customer's account and/or reporting the
customer and the incident to the proper authorities.
WCF does not attempt to censor any content, nor to curtail the business
of its customers. However, spam activities do not fall within uses
authorized by WCF, and will not be tolerated.
7.Reporting Spam
If you believe that you have received spam from or through WCF's
facilities, please send a complaint from your email account along with the
unsolicited email, with completed header, to
support@hoodiadietpillsreview.com. Please provide any other information
that you believe may help us in our investigation. WCF does not
investigate or take any action based on 'anonymous spam
complaints.
8.False Spam Complaints
WCF supports the efforts of various organisations working to responsibly
eliminate spam activities. However, if an individual has opted-in to receive
email from a customer of WCF, and then falsely or maliciously files a
spam complaint against WCF or its customers, WCF will cooperate fully
with the appropriate agencies to ban the complainant from use of anti-
spam software and the Internet community.
