FortuNet Solutions Anti-Spam Policy
FortuNet
Solutions ("we", "our") is
committed to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a
result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. FortuNet
Solutions will occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy. For
changes to this policy, we will notify you (the "affiliate")
via email with a link to the new policy on our website.
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 and Affiilates of FortuNet Solutions
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 and affiliate agrees not to use our products
or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not
for commercial purposes. FortuNet Solutions 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.

How FortuNet Solutions Helps You to Avoid
Spamming |
FortuNet Solutions 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
FortuNet Solutions products and services state how and for
what purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses,
and that you will follow FortuNet Solutions Privacy Policy
and Anti-Spam Policy.
|
|
(b) |
Unsubscription – Emails sent out by customers
or affiliates must contains an “unsubscribe link”. If
your web site visitors use the link to request that they be
unsubscribed, your subscriber lists must be adjusted to eliminate
the prospect of sending unwanted email to such persons. Affiliates
who do not provide an unsubscribe link will be warned and
if they persist in sending emails that don't provide a removed
link, FortuNet Solutions will have the right to terminate
their account.
|
|
(c) |
Purchased Mailing Lists - Mass mailings
to purchased email lists are not allowed. FortuNet Solutions
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 FortuNet Solutions 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 FortuNet Solutions 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 FortuNet Solutions customer
support service at support@fortunetsolutions.com.
