Technetto Email Marketing Terms of Use
WARNINGS OF SERIOUS LEGAL CONSEQUENCES
Warning: If you engage in certain conduct, such as violating laws
that regulate sending out and the content of bulk email, try to take
advantage of us in violation of our Terms of Use by taking such
actions as using our servers to host images for your website,
instead of just emails you send using
Technetto Email Marketing , sending out emails created using
Technetto Email Marketing through another service or failing to pay an amount you owe us, we
will be entitled to collect from you the higher of a pre-set amount
or a multiple of your charges for one year on an annualized basis
(which is a reasonable pre-estimate of the actual damages we would
likely suffer from such conduct) plus attorney fees. We offer very
powerful tools at a very low price. In exchange we expect our
customers to act with integrity and follow our rules in order to
help us maintain our reputation as having customers who only send
bulk email to people who have consented to receiving them or with
whom they have had a relationship from earlier selling or licensing
(or negotiating to sell or license) a product or service and to not
otherwise abuse our system.

- Anti-Spam and Abuse Related Rules : You agree
to the following:
- Definition of SPAM: We have adopted the definition of Spam set
forth on the Spamhaus website at
http://www.spamhaus.org/definition.html The first line of the
Spamhaus definition reads:
The word "Spam" as applied to
Email means Unsolicited Bulk Email ("UBE"). It is a concern to us
if you use Technetto Email Marketing to
send any unsolicited email to anyone with whom you have no
relationship. It is much more of a concern, and more likely to
cause our system to be blocked by various ISP's, for you to send
an unsolicited email to an entire list of people you don't know.
- Permission Lists Only: You may use Technetto Email Marketing only to send Emails to individuals and entities that either:
Possibility 1 - Consent Obtained
- A. gave or give you written (including electronic)
permission to send Emails to them, without subsequently
withdrawing such permission and either:
- Consent Given Recently gave you the permission within the
prior 12 months; or
- Consent Given More Than One Year Earlier you sent them a
promotional email, which was not objected to, within the
prior 12 months; or
Possibility 2 - Sold or Negotiated to Sell Product or
Service
- B. gave or give you their name and email address in
connection with their purchase, or negotiations to purchase,
a product or service from you, have not opted out from
receiving your emails and either:
- Recent Sale or Negotiation such sale or negotiations
occurred within the previous 12 months; or
- Sale or Negotiation Occurred More than One Year Earlier
you sent them a promotional email, which was not objected to,
within the prior 12 months. If you send Emails to a list, and
you get an unusual amount of SPAM complaints (more than 1 out
of 1,000), ISPs will begin blocking future emails from your
company. They will also request (that's putting it mildly)
that Technetto Email Marketing shut
down your account. So if you don't have proof that each
recipient on your list has opted-in to receive your emails,
or otherwise meets the above requirements, don't import them
into Technetto Email Marketing.
- Requirements: You agree that you will use:
- No purchased lists (no matter how expensive).
- No rented lists (even if they "opted in").
- No 3rd party lists whatsoever.
- No outside unsubscribe processes.
