For Gigabit Users

All users of Gigabit must agree to only sending permission-based email newsletters as part of agreeing to the End User Service Agreement (EUSA) upon signup. This means that all recipients sent to must have opted-in to receive communications from the sending organization.

An opt-in can occur either via a sign-up form on a web site, at a point-of-sale sign-up form, or on a physical sign-up sheet. Any opt-in form should include a clear description of what will be sent and how often it will be sent. Purchased lists may not be used within Gigabit, regardless of the source or permission status.

As A User of Gigabit You May Not

  • harvest emails from web sites
  • purchase lists (whether they are opt-in or not)
  • have a pre-checked field on your subscription form
  • have a subscription form that subscribes users to an unrelated list
  • send out unrelated offers or unrelated content to your newsletter list
  • add an email address into a list without the subscriber’s permission
  • email someone who has requested to be removed from your list
  • utilize a list older than 6 months without reconfirming the recipients’ subscriptions

You may

  • send out a regular newsletter to a recipient who has opted-in to receive it
  • send out information and content to recipients who have requested to receive content on that topic from your organization

Policy Enforcement

has a no tolerance spam policy. The strict measures we take to enforce our policy include, but are not limited to:

  • We review and monitor large list imports. This includes a review of the list source, list age, collection methods, and confirmation practices.
  • We utilize an MD5 hash record to screen for characteristics of commonly harvested lists
  • A member of our staff reviews each message sent to more than 5000 recipients and either will approve or reject it. This threshold is 500 recipients for clients that have been with us less than two months.
  • We utilize a content-checking utility to screen and flag any message that contains words common to unsolicited emails.
  • We require a user to initial the following statement prior to each send: “I certify with my initials that all recipients granted their permission to be sent this message.”
  • A record is saved of every email that is sent through the system.
  • Any customer found to be using Gigabit for spam will be immediately cut off from the use of the product.
  • We maintain the IP address and date subscribed for every new subscriber.
  • Every email, whether text or HTML, contains a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed.

Other

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Gigabit infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to Gigabit a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Gigabit actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Gigabit a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Gigabit’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached as follows: [email protected].

This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of Gigabit and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives. Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of Gigabit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations under this Agreement may be freely assigned by Gigabit to any affiliated entity or any of its wholly owned subsidiaries.

These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. If any provision of this agreement shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
