Email Aces Acceptable Usage Policy
The management of Email Aces, a division of Internet Marketing Aces, LLC., does not
tolerate SPAM or UCE ( Unsolicited Commercial Email ) to any degree. All clients are
required to read and abide by this policy. Ignorance, "not understanding" or "not
knowing" will not be accepted as an excuse for violation of our policies.
Any members found to be in violation of our policies will be immediately
removed from our system, will forfeit all monies due from the Email Aces
affiliate program, will not be eligible for a refund, and will not be allowed to join
Email Aces or any Email Aces or Internet Marketing Aces, LLC affiliated website at any
point in the future. We may also release your account details to your ISP, hosting
company, or other service providers referenced by the spam.
Members may not promote Email Aces, or use the Company name, trade names,
logos, or copyrighted material, in any unauthorized manner.
Members may not SPAM or send unsolicited emails that advertise, direct,
redirect or lead either directly or indirectly to any Email Aces related
URL, email address, or marketing material including, but not limited to, the Email Aces
member websites, any personally owned websites, any third-party websites, or any other
medium that may lead a person or business to a Email Aces website.
In addition to unsolicited email, our policy prohibits advertising in Usenet
Newsgroups, forums, message board systems or any other system that does not
expressly state that advertising is acceptable. Advertising in, or abuse of
chat rooms, buddy lists, ICQ, MIRC, ICQ, AOL, MSN, ODIGO, Yahoo! Pager, or any
other online communication system will not be allowed unless the advertising is
within the guidelines allowable by the service provider. Ignorance of the
policies of any third-party service will not be accepted as an excuse. All Email
Aces members are responsible for abiding by the terms and policies of each
venue in regard to advertising.
If we receive a complaint from any business or individual we will suspend the
Email Aces account immediately and without prior notice. At that point, the
complaint will be immediately researched to determine its validity. If the
member is found to be in violation of our policies, we will terminate the account
immediately and without warning. If the complaint is found to be invalid, the member's
access will be reinstated immediately.
Anyone who uses Email Aces resources, web sites, mail servers, website
addresses, or personalized web address for the practice of spamming, will be liable
for any expenses incurred by us to reverse any actions taken by our ISP or
other services as a result of said spamming.
ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES
Safe List Members
If you are a member of a safe list or opt-in list, you may send email to the
members of that list, ONLY if you have permission to do so.
All legitimate safe list owners provide a disclaimer for you to use that
identifies email sent to others on the safe list that the email they are
receiving is due to the safe list membership. If you do not include this
disclaimer, even if you forget, you will get SPAM complaints and we will have
take action. Forgetfulness is not an excuse.
Personal List Members
If you have a list of people with whom you have previously received permission
to send or swap advertisements, and have valid proof of this, you may send them
an email ad at your own risk. If you are unsure whether or not you have
permission do not send any advertisements.
If you DO receive permission to send solicitations to someone, make sure you
keep a copy of that permission as you may later need it for proof.
Outgoing Email
You may not use an Email Aces autoresponder address as the "From:"
or "Reply-To:" email address, or an email address that redirects or
forwards to an Email Aces autoresponder address in any outgoing headers. Use of an
Email Aces address in this, or any other part of the headers of outgoing email will
not be accepted.
FFA Link Confirmation Emails
If you have an FFA links page, you may not advertise Email Aces in your
"link confirmation email." for any reason. You may not use a Email Aces
autoresponder address, tracking URL, or any other Email Aces related service in
conjunction with FFA pages. FFA pages are too easily abused to be an allowable
advertising method.
Replying to SPAM or Other Email Advertisements
You may not send a solicitation or advertisement to people or businesses just
because they sent one to you. SPAM from others is not considered permission to
send SPAM back to them and does not constitute a previous business relationship
or "opting in".
Lists Purchased From Outside Vendors
You may NOT purchase a list from a list vendor unless the vendor has been
approved by Email Aces in writing. Any lists purchased via email
solicitations are not acceptable. In order for a list to be considered for approval
the supplier of the list must provide valid documentation on how the email
addresses are collected and provide a "double-optin" method and IP
addresses for each subscriber.
Newsgroups
You may NOT post your ad to newsgroups UNLESS that newsgroup specifically
states in their charter that advertisements are approved for the list. If you
are unsure, don't do it! You may also not post or make mention of any Email Aces
autoresponder or email address in a newsgroup posting because the
newsgroups are frequently harvested for SPAM lists.
Disclaimers
You may NOT send any email using the following disclaimers. If we receive a
complaint on and the offending email includes any form of these statements,
your account will be terminated without investigation.
"This is not SPAM. This ad is being sent in compliance with Senate bill
1618, Title 3, section 301."
"You are receiving this email because you are either on a safe list, you
posted to my FFA page, or you have sent me an ad."
"You are receiving this email because I heard you were interested in
business opportunities."
Email Aces has over 750 "spam-trap"
addresses in circulation on the Internet at any given time. These email
addresses are posted to newsgroups, message boards, classified systems, and in
various other locations around the Internet. If any email referencing Email Aces in
any way is sent to any of our "spam-trap" addresses the account
owner's membership will be terminated immediately and without investigation.
Harvesting for email addresses is strictly prohibited, don't do it, you will be
caught!
These terms and policies are non-negotiable and may be updated at any time. If
an update is made to our acceptable use policy notification of the changes will
be posted to our online message board system.
Email Aces is the final decision maker as to what qualifies as a violation
of our policies. Our decisions are final and not open for debate unless you can
provide legitimate and verifiable documentation proving that the decision of
Email Aces was incorrect.
We will not put the safety, productivity, or reputation of Email Aces or
its members in jeopardy due to abuse committed by an individual or group of
individuals. Our system is based strictly on permission based marketing, and
relies on our members to ensure and uphold the standards and policies outlined
in this document.
