Spam

Spam is the common term for the sending of bulk unsolicited commercial email. 

Email Permission Marketing and Promotions has a strict no-spam policy and will not endorse or be party to any form of bulk unsolicited emailing.

All email campaigns conducted by Email Permission Marketing & Promotions are permission-based.

The Australian Federal Government will be introducing legislation before the end of 2003 to act against Spam. Here is the latest Federal Government press release regarding Spam legislation.

Examples of Spam

Most businesses are aware of the common forms of spam. However, the following examples illustrate situations in which you may inadvertently engage in spamming:

• If you send emails after the recipient has informed you that they do not wish to receive them, it is deemed as spamming.
  
• If an email was sent as a "send to a friend" forward, and your next email message was sent to that friend with out first obtaining their permission, it is also deemed as spamming.

Your Obligation

You must be confident that all your database, whether purchased or from a house list, is permission-based.

Spamming contravenes our Terms of Service, and as a result, we reserve the right to cancel immediately any existing account at any stage of the contract or campaign if it is discovered that spam is being sent, and the recipients do not belong to a quality opt-in list.
