The DMG
Marketing Group, LLC Anti-Spam Policy
(Last updated January 15, 2009)
mafiacpaempire.com is committed to permission-based
email marketing practices, and as a result has established this
no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. mafiacpaempire.com will
occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy. When it
does, mafiacpaempire.com will also revise the “last update”
date at the top of this Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to this
policy, mafiacpaempire.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 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 mafiacpaempire.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 mafiacpaempire.com products or services
to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for
commercial purposes. mafiacpaempire.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
mafiacpaempire.com Helps You to Avoid
Spamming |
mafiacpaempire.com 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
mafiacpaempire.com products and services state how and for
what purposes you can collect your site visitor addresses, and
that you will follow the mafiacpaempire.com Privacy Policy and
Anti-Spam Policy. |
| (b) |
Unsubscription – Each email created using
mafiacpaempire.com products contains an “unsubscribe link”. 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 mafiacpaempire.com web site. Customers
of mafiacpaempire.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
mafiacpaempire.com will have the right to terminate their
account. |
| (c) |
Purchased
Mailing Lists - Mass mailings to purchased email lists are not
allowed. mafiacpaempire.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
mafiacpaempire.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
mafiacpaempire.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 mafiacpaempire.com customer support
service at
