Anti-Spam Policy (last updated: 16 Feb 2004)
Auratech
is committed to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a result
has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. Auratech will occasionally
update this Anti-Spam Policy. When it does, Auratech will also revise the
"last update" date at the top of this Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to
this policy, Auratech will notify you (the customer) by placing a notice on
its web site home page.
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.
Customers
of Auratech 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 Auratech products or services
to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for commercial
purposes. Auratech 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 Auratech Helps You to Avoid Spamming |
Auratech
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 Auratech products and services state how and
for what purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses,
and that you will follow the Auratech Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam
Policy. |
(b) |
Unsubscription
- Each email created using Auratech 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 Auratech web site. Customers of Auratech 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 Auratech will have the right to terminate their account.
|
(c) |
Purchased
Mailing Lists - Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not
allowed. Auratech 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.
|
Spam
laws vary from state to state, and from country to country. This Auratech
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 Auratech 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 Auratech customer support service at support@auratech.com.au
6. |
Measures to Enforce the Anti-Spam Policy |
Any
Auratech customer found to be using Auratech products or services for spamming purposes
may, at Auratech’s discretion, be immediately cut off from use of all IMC products
and services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per occurrence, with no refund of
fees that have been paid.
Auratech
warns all of its customers when signing up that if they participate in
spamming activities they will be subject to the loss of Auratech services,
fines and possible legal action.
Auratech
has the right to actively review its customers’ subscriber lists and email
for suspiciously large broadcasts. If Auratech finds any customers to be spamming,
it will issue a warning, and if the activities are serious enough, Auratech
will take action immediately. If Auratech has any reason to believe that the
customer, despite warning being given, threatens to or is continuing to
send spam, then Auratech may take action immediately, including disabling the
customer’s account and/or reporting the customer and the incident to the
proper authorities.
Auratech
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 Auratech, and will not be tolerated.
If
you believe that you have received spam from or through Auratech’s facilities,
please send a complaint from your email account along with the unsolicited
email, with completed header, to admin@auratech.com.au Please provide
any other information that you believe may help us in our investigation.
Auratech does not investigate or take any action based on "anonymous" spam
complaints.
Auratech
supports the efforts of various organizations working to responsibly eliminate
spam activities. However, if an individual has opted-in to receive email
from a customer of Auratech, and then falsely or maliciously files a spam complaint
against Auratech or its customers, Auratech will cooperate fully with the appropriate
agencies to ban the complainant from use of anti-spam software and the
Internet community. |
