2. Spam is defined as unsolicited mass email to persons with whom you do have a business relationship or have not requested (opted-in) to join your mailing list. 
3. All users of our service must agree to only sending permission-based email newsletters as part of accepting this contract upon signup. This means that all existing email recipients must have opted-in to receive communications from the sending organisation.  
4. An opt-in can occur via a simple sign up form on a website, on a physical sign-up sheet or at a point of sale signup form. The form should include a clear explanation of what will be sent, the frequency of communications etc.  
5. You may send communications to businesses you have dealt with in the past twelve months, providing this person has not unsubscribed from your list.  
6. If you use a ‘purchased list' we would need to see verification from the list provider that the people on the list have consented to email approaches before allowing you to upload this list onto our system and send email to its list of recipients. 
7. Every email message contains a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed. 
8. We provide our services only to those who adhere to our strict anti-spam policy. Using the system to send out emails to addresses obtained in any way other than a subscriber opting-in to your list may incur a charge of £100 plus VAT per incident, i.e. per email sent.
