General Email Rules and Guidelines The Accentu8 email system has been developed to enable you to communicate with email subscribers that have opted-in (i.e. expressly given their permission) to receive information from your company. You may not use any Accentu8 product or service for the purpose of sending unsolicited email, or "Spam." Accentu8 respects anti-Spam laws and asks you to act accordingly. You may not use any Accentu8 product, service or tool for purposes of breaking any law. You must follow any posted guidelines regarding content and commercial activity limitations. All email addresses that you use must be solely derived from permission based lists. - Accentu8 may not be used to send emails to individuals that have not opted-in to receive information via email from your company.
The Accentu8 service gives its users all the tools necessary to build and maintain an opt-in email list. Accentu8 also allows you to import existing lists of email addresses. The email addresses that are imported must have opt-ed in to receive messages from your company. These features make it easy for users to build and use lists of opt-in subscribers and eliminate the need to send unsolicited emails. Therefore, in the event that a complaint is received or an instance reported of an unsolicited email message sent by your company using Accentu8, Accentu8 will investigate claims of unsolicited email messages sent using the service. If Accentu8 determines that a user is employing the service to send emails to recipients who have not opted in or recipients that have unsubscribed on a prior occasion, the account will be immediately terminated. By using our product you guarantee payment of this amount. You hereby authorize Quantummail.com.au to charge your credit card account for any such amount as is necessary to equal such charges. 5. Special Email Provisions Adding New Members: You will use a "single opt-in" or "double opt-in" (signup plus confirmation) subscription method for all new list members. For the purpose of this Agreement, a "double opt-in" method shall mean that when you add a new member's email address to the list, that email address shall not be activated unless and until the new member receives a single confirmation e-mail from you requesting the member's consent to be added to the list, and Accentu8 receives from the new member a confirmation action (such as a confirming e-mail from the new member's email address) approving such action. The confirmation e-mail sent by the Customer to new members may not include advertising or calls-to-action other than an appeal to confirm the member's subscription. Importing Members: You may only import members previously obtained directly by you using the "single opt-in" or "double opt-in" (recommended) procedures described above. You may not import opt-out members directly into your list under any circumstances. You MAY NOT import members from co-registered or purchased sources, regardless of the confirmation status of said members.
