Zero Tolerance Spam Policy:

What is spamming?

Spamming is the sending of an unsolicited e-mail, generally an ad of some sort, to anyone who has not specifically requested email from you. Spamming is both prohibited in the SuretyMailings User Agreement, and illegal under United States law. SuretyMailings's no-spam policy is strictly enforced. If you use your SuretyMailings Autoresponder account or affiliate membership to send e-mail to people who haven't asked for it, then you are spamming, and your SuretyMailings account will be shut down.

What is the SuretyMailings's position on spam?

Using SuretyMailings accounts or affiliate memberships to send spam is both prohibited in the SuretyMailings User Agreement, and illegal under United States law. SuretyMailings's no-spam policy is strictly enforced. If you use your SuretyMailings Autoresponder account or affiliate membership to send e-mail to people who haven't asked for it, then you are spamming, and your SuretyMailings account will be shut down.

Where can I report spam?

Help SuretyMailings stamp out spam. If you have received an unsolicited e-mail from an SuretyMailings customer, please tell us. Forward the message you received, including the mail headers, to abuse@SuretyMailings.com Include a note letting us know that the message is spam, and that you did not specifically request to receive information from the sender.

Where can I read SuretyMailings's Terms of Service?

Can I import a list of purchased leads?

Importing or in any way using purchased leads with an SuretyMailings account is strictly prohibited. If you paid money or in any way purchased a group of pre-existing leads these may not be used with SuretyMailings. These leads did not specifically request information from you and thus emailing them would be considered spam.

Can I advertise my SuretyMailings e-mail address on an FFA site?

Many businesses like to advertise their web site URLs through FFA (Free For All) links sites. However, submitting your SuretyMailings e-mail address with your URL is spamming!

FFA sites post only your web site address, not your e-mail address. They only request your e-mail address in order to e-mail you personally. If you submit your SuretyMailings e-mail address, when an FFA site owner sends you his initial welcome e-mail, he will be added to your SuretyMailings autoresponder as a lead. He will subsequently receive e-mail from you through the SuretyMailings Autoresponse system. However, he never asked to be added to your list of leads or to receive e-mail from you. This means that any e-mail your SuretyMailings Autoresponder sends to him is spam.

What are some common spamming mistakes that SuretyMailings customers make?

Some customers receive an unsolicited e-mail from Company A, and retaliate by adding Company A to their SuretyMailings lead list. The e-mail that Company A will receive from these customers via SuretyMailings is spam. Just because someone spams you does not mean it is okay to spam them back!
Some customers submit their SuretyMailings e-mail address to Free For All links pages along with their URL. The FFA page owners will send e-mail to those SuretyMailings addresses in order to confirm the URL postings, and by doing so will add themselves to the customers' SuretyMailings leads lists. The e-mail that the FFA site owners will later receive from those customers via SuretyMailings is spam.
Subscribing to mailing lists with an SuretyMailings e-mail address is spamming. This will add anyone who sends e-mail to the mailing list to the customer's SuretyMailings leads list. Any e-mail that the posters later receive from these customers via SuretyMailings is spam.
Subscribing to e-zines or newsletters with an SuretyMailings e-mail address is spamming. This will add the e-zine's editors to the customer's SuretyMailings leads list. Any e-mail the editors later receive from the customer via SuretyMailings is spam.

Using SuretyMailings accounts or affiliate memberships to send spam is both prohibited in the SuretyMailings User Agreement, and illegal. SuretyMailings's no-spam policy is strictly enforced. If you use your SuretyMailings Autoresponder account or affiliate membership to send e-mail to people who haven't asked for it, then you are spamming, and your SuretyMailings account will be shut down.

Can I post ads to newsgroups?

Posting the same message to numerous newsgroups, or posting off topic messages to any newsgroup is spamming. You may not post your SuretyMailings ad to newsgroups unless that ad is specifically on-topic, as determined by SuretyMailings.

SuretyMailings's no-spam policy is strictly enforced. If you send or post spam related to your SuretyMailings account, then that account will be terminated
