THE12-RING.COM is committed to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. THE12-RING.COM will occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy. When it does, THE12-RING.COM will also revise the “last update” date at the top of this Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to this policy, THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM products or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email,
whether or not for commercial purposes. THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM Helps You to Avoid Spamming
THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM products and services state how and for what purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses, and that you will follow the THE12-RING.COM Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.
(b) Unsubscription – Each email created using THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM web site. Customers of THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM will have the right to terminate their account.
(c) Purchased Mailing Lists - Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not allowed. THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM 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 THE12-RING.COM 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 this e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
(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?
