- Anti Spam Policy.
Avenews has a no-tolerance spam policy. You may not send unsolicited email messages. Avenews' customer support actively monitors large import lists and emails going to a large number of subscribers. Any customer found to be using Avenews for spam will be immediately cut-off from use of the Service and Site. Any emails sent in connection with the Service and Site must comply with the terms of the FTC�s CAN-SPAM regulations and must provide in any unsolicited email an �unsubscribed� link that allows the subscribers to remove themselves from your email messages. You agree that you will not engage in activity that would hide, disable, or remove the opt-out link from any emails sent through the use of the Service and Site. Under the terms of this Agreement you must actively maintain and process unsubscribed requests received by you within 10 days after the receipt of the request by you.
The CAN-SPAM Act became effective in 2004 and generally requires the following:
- It bans false or misleading header information. Your email's "From," "To," and routing information � including the originating domain name and email address � must be accurate and identify the person who initiated the email.
- It prohibits deceptive subject lines. The subject line cannot mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message.
-
It requires that your email give recipients an opt-out method. You must provide a return email address or another Internet-based response mechanism that allows a recipient to ask you not to send future email messages to that email address, and you must honor the requests. You may create a "menu" of choices to allow a recipient to opt out of certain types of messages, but you must include the option to end any commercial messages from the sender.
Any opt-out mechanism you offer must be able to process opt-out requests for at least 30 days after you send your commercial email. When you receive an opt-out request, the law gives you 10 business days to stop sending email to the requestor's email address. You cannot help another entity send email to that address, or have another entity send email on your behalf to that address. Finally, it's illegal for you to sell or transfer the email addresses of people who choose not to receive your email, even in the form of a mailing list, unless you transfer the addresses so another entity can comply with the law.
- It requires that commercial email be identified as an advertisement and include the sender's valid physical postal address. Your message must contain clear and conspicuous notice that the message is an advertisement or solicitation and that the recipient can opt out of receiving more commercial email from you. It also must include your valid physical postal address.
Avenews requires strict compliance with this Act. For more information regarding the CAN-SPAM act see http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/edu/pubs/business/ecommerce/bus61.shtm
