SPAM POLICY

We have a ZERO tolerance for Spam (a.k.a. UCE / Unsolicited Commercial Email).

Spam is considered an unethical form of Internet advertising. Some states have created laws regarding Spam and many state and federal bodies are currently drafting legislation which will define and prohibit Spam.

This web site is NOT to be promoted via Spam or other unsolicited advertising methods.

In addition, people who send Spam can incur substantial monetary fines from any of the service providers through which Spam is directed because of the time, resources and expense it can incur for the affected provider. Spam is a negative form of advertising and is regarded with disdain within the Internet community.

If you violate our Spam Policy you will:

- Have your affiliate account reported immediately.
- Have a monetary claim filed against you in a court of law for $500 for each piece of unsolicited email, or otherwise posted occurence of Spam.
- Be immediately reported to your ISP (Internet Service Provider).
- Be immediately reported to any domain registrar with which you are associated.
- Be reported to appropriate additional authorities.

We reserve the right to determine what constitutes an act of Spam. Our sole opinion shall be deemed ABSOLUTE and FINAL in determining any and all spam violations.

This web site does not engage in sending Spam. We only engage the services of reputable marketing companies that utilize opt-in subscriber lists. All messages sent from the reputable sources we employ shall have working unsubscribe links at the bottom of each transmission, and comply with all applicable laws.

All Spam complaints shall be investigated, and any false claims will themselves be reported to the proper authorities for possible action against false claimants. We value our reputation and will defend it.

Should any of our web sites or services be disrupted as a result of spamming, or as a result of proven false claims against us for spamming, the responsible party will be charged and billed $500.00 per hour until service is restored. You may also be subject to legal action.

If we receive a Spam complaint against you, we may immediately report you to the above named entities until you provide proof exonerating you from all complaints that were filed against you. Even if you provide such proof, you may still be reported if we receive a large number of complaints against you.

Definition of Spam

Spam is the sending of unsolicited and unauthorized emails or online communications, including, but not limited to bulletin boards, user groups, or instant messaging services to individuals or businesses who do not know you personally, have not agreed or requested to receive your emails, or have not provided their email address directly to the sender. It is also an email sent to a recipient who would not have a reasonable expectation of receiving email from the sender. Spam can be an individual email or a bulk mailing.

Posting messages to Usenet, newsgroups, and forums that explicitly forbid the posting of commercial solicitations or solicitations not pertaining to their content is Spam. Hiring a company that sends email to a list of people with your opportunity that did not specifically request to receive your information beforehand is considered Spam. Promoting Your Site on FFA (Free For All) sites is considered Spam. "Fake Blogs" are considered Spam and shall NOT be tolerated.

By allowing this web site to be posted on your own domain, you hereby agree to the above stipulations, and to hold the designers, publishers, and program operators harmless from any claims originating as a result of your activities.
