REQUIREMENTS FOR INCLUSION OF CERTAIN INFORMATION IN MESSAGES

On December 16, 2003, a new law was signed by President of the United States, the "CAN-SPAM Act of 2003",and became effective on January 1, 2004.

The new law mandates that certain information be included in all commercial electronic email messages. If you are using the PowerAutoResponder.com system to email advertisements and/or solicitations of any type, your mailings are considered commercial email messages. As of January 1, 2004, the following information must be included in each of your messages:

 1. Clear and conspicuous identification that the message is an advertisement or solicitation (this does not apply to the transmission of a commercial electronic mail message if the recipient has given prior affirmative consent to receipt of the message);

 2. Clear and conspicuous notice of the opportunity to decline to receive further messages from the sender (unsubscribe link); and

 3. A valid physical postal address of the sender.

The new law provides that it will be unlawful to send any commercial email messages unless the above information is included in each message. Among other things, it also makes it unlawful to use false information in headers, false email addresses and false or misleading subject lines.

All users sending commercial email messages through the PowerAutoResponder.com system are required to comply with the law. 

In respect to Item one above, it is your responsibility to maintain appropriate documentation that can show that an individual consented to receive your mailing if that is the case. It is not satisfactory to just declare that the individual opted in to your list. A showing of how, when and where by actual documentation will be needed if a claim is filed or SPAM complaint made. Purchasing an opt in list is not proof of consent that the individuals on the list consented to receive the information from you.

Any PowerAutoResponder.com user found to not have the required information in messages will have their autoresponder privileges suspended and given appropriate time to correct the message content. If they do not correct the messages, the service will be terminated without refund of service fees.

PowerAutoResponder.com has the right to cancel any account, for any reason, without notice. If your account is canceled, your license to use the PowerAutoResponder.com service and/or name is revoked permanently.
