Spam is Unsolicited Email
Spam is unsolicited commercial email, junk mail or bulk mail that has not been requested by the recipient. In addition to being perceived as intrusive, irrelevant and often offensive, it is also typical that spam emails do not contain an option to unsubscribe from the mailing list. Simply put, spam is the opposite of permission-based emails - those that are requested, anticipated, personal and relevant.
Preventing Unsolicited Emails Via weigard-ltd.com
Any affiliate wishing to work with us must abide by a strictly enforced Terms of Service.
In the "Terms of Service of weigard-ltd.com", it clearly states our policy with respect to spam:
"You may not use publish through weigard-ltd.com or ask weigard-ltd.com to : a. send unsolicited bulk email, for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Unsolicited bulk email is defined as email sent to more than 10 individuals without their permission."
Also, affiliates must accept that an unsubscribe option will be automatically appended to every email sent via weigard-ltd.com.
This is not an option, it is a requirement as stated in the CAN-SPAM regulations and any emails being sent through weigard-ltd.com's mailservers are built according to it.
In the event that an affiliate violates any one of our usage rules, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by weigard-ltd.com, weigard-ltd.com reserves the right to suspend or terminate, without notice, any running campaign that belongs to the related affiliate and remove all of his data.
Encouraging Permission-Based Marketing
weigard-ltd.com encourages its affiliates to create and manage "opt-in" subscriber lists.
By building and using an "opt-in" subscriber list, affiliates can be certain that they are sending emails to recipients that have expressly given their permission to do so.
It is also important to note that subscribers receiving email campaigns by affiliates will only see their names in the header - all other email addresses are not viewable which makes them safer from unsolicited email abuse via other recipients of the same email campaign.
Responding to Unsolicited Email Complaints
If a complaint is received regarding unsolicited emails being sent from weigard-ltd.com's mailservers, an immediate investigation is undertaken.
Initial Warning - The affiliate is first notified that an unsolicited email complaint has been lodged against them and: (a) Reminded of the terms they accepted in the Terms of Service. (b) Reminded that the complainant's email address will automatically be flagged for suppression if the complainant did unsubscribe. (c) Requested to manually remove the complainant's email address from their subscriber list if the address was not automatically suppressed because the complainant did not unsubscribe.
Follow-up Warning - If the complainant persists, or if there are multiple complaints, a second warning is issued. The affiliate is again reminded of the Terms of Service. Additionally, the affiliate is advised that if they are unable to abide by these terms, they should discontinue using the weigard-ltd.com services.
Final Notice - If notifications of unsolicited emails continue and remain unaddressed after the follow-up warning, the affiliate's account privileges will be suspended and eventually terminated.
