Ace That Job! is committed to permission-based email
marketing practices, and as a result has established this
no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. Ace That Job! will occasionally update this
Anti-Spam Policy. When it does, Ace That Job! will also revise the “last
update” date at the top of this Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to
this policy, Ace That Job! 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 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 of Ace That Job! 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 Ace That Job! products or services to send
unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for commercial
purposes. Ace That Job! 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 Ace That Job! Helps You to Avoid Spamming |
Ace That Job! 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
the Ace That Job! products and services state how and for what
purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses, and
that you will follow the Ace That Job! Privacy Policy and
Anti-Spam Policy.
|
|
(b) |
Unsubscription – Each email created using
Ace That Job! products contains an “unsubscribe link”. If your
web site visitors use the link to request that they be
unsubscribe, 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 Ace That Job! web site.
Customers of Ace That Job! 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
Ace That Job! will have the right to terminate their account.

(c) |
Purchased Mailing Lists - Mass mailings
to purchased email lists are not allowed. Ace That
Job! 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 Ace That Job! 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 Ace That Job! for any of these previously
mentioned activities.
|

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 Ace That
Job!
