The
MalaysiaSecrets.com Anti-Spam Policy
(Last updated July 13, 2006)
MalaysiaSecrets.com
is committed to permission-based email
marketing practices, and as a result has
established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam
Policy. MalaysiaSecrets.com
will occasionally update this Anti-Spam
Policy. When it does,
MalaysiaSecrets.com will also revise the
“last update†date at the top of this
Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to
this policy, MalaysiaSecrets.com
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 mailâ€, 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 MalaysiaSecrets.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 MalaysiaSecrets.com
products or services to send unsolicited
email or bulk email, whether or not for
commercial purposes. MalaysiaSecrets.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.

How
MalaysiaSecrets.com
Helps You to Avoid Spamming |
MalaysiaSecrets.com
has developed its 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 MalaysiaSecrets.com
products and services state
how and for what purposes you
can collect your site visitor
addresses, and that you will
follow the MalaysiaSecrets.com
Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam
Policy.
|
| (b) |
Unsubscription
– Each email created using MalaysiaSecrets.com
products contains an
“unsubscribe linkâ€.
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 MalaysiaSecrets.com
web site. Customers of MalaysiaSecrets.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 MalaysiaSecrets.com
will have the right to
terminate their account.
|
| (c) |
Purchased
Mailing Lists - Mass mailings
to purchased email lists are
not allowed. MalaysiaSecrets.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.
|
Spam
laws vary from state to state, and from
country to country. This
MalaysiaSecrets.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
MalaysiaSecrets.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 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
MalaysiaSecrets.com customer support
service at support@malaysiasecrets.com.
