123Relocation.com,
Inc. (“123RELO”) Anti-Spam
Policy
123RELO is committed to
permission-based email marketing practices, and as a
result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam
Policy. 123RELO will occasionally update this
Anti-Spam Policy. When it does, 123RELO will also
revise the “last update” date at the top of this
Anti-Spam Policy. For changes to this policy,
123RELO 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 123RELO 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 123RELO products or
services to send unsolicited email or bulk email,
whether or not for commercial purposes. 123RELO
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 123RELO Helps You to
Avoid Spamming |
123RELO 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
123RELO products and services state how and
for what purposes you can collect your site
visitor addresses, and that you will follow
the 123RELO Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam
Policy.
|
|
(b)
|
Unsubscription – Each
email created using 123RELO 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 123RELO web site. Customers
of 123RELO 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
123RELO will have the right to terminate
their account.
|
|
(c)
|
Purchased Mailing Lists -
Mass mailings to purchased email lists are
not allowed. 123RELO 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 123RELO
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 123RELO
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 123RELO customer
support service at support@myemailmanager.com.

Measures to Enforce the
Anti-Spam Policy |
Any 123RELO customer found to be
using 123RELO products or services for spamming
purposes may, at 123RELO’s discretion, be
immediately cut off from use of all 123RELO products
and services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per occurrence,
with no refund of fees that have been paid.
123RELO warns all of its
customers when signing up that if they participate
in spamming activities they will be subject to the
loss of 123RELO services, fines and possible legal
action.
123RELO has the right to actively
review its customers’ subscriber lists and email for
suspiciously large broadcasts. If 123RELO finds any
customers to be spamming, it will issue a warning,
and if the activities are serious enough, 123RELO
will take action immediately. If 123RELO has any
reason to believe that the customer, despite warning
being given, threatens to or is continuing to send
spam, then 123RELO may take action immediately,
including disabling the customer’s account and/or
reporting the customer and the incident to the
proper authorities.
123RELO does not attempt to
censor any content, nor to curtail the business of
its customers. However, spam activities do not fall
within uses authorized by 123RELO, and will not be
tolerated.
If you believe that you have
received spam from or through 123RELO’s facilities,
please send a complaint from your email account
along with the unsolicited email, with completed
header, to
abuse@123relocation.com.
Please provide any other information that you
believe may help us in our investigation. 123RELO
does not investigate or take any action based on
“anonymous” spam complaints.
123RELO supports the efforts of
various organizations working to responsibly
eliminate spam activities. However, if an
individual has opted-in to receive email from a
customer of 123RELO, and then falsely or maliciously
files a spam complaint against 123RELO or its
customers, 123RELO will cooperate fully with the
appropriate agencies to ban the complainant from use
of anti-spam software and the Internet community.
