ANTI SPAM POLICY

By becoming a member of the Accessiblenet Program, you are both a Customer and a Program Participant. All Customers and Program Participants agree to comply with the Butler New Media Anti-Spam Policy stated below. Participation in the Accessiblenet Program is also subject to the applicable Terms of Service and Policies.
Butler New Media follows a zero tolerance spam policy and prohibits users from sending unsolicited emails in any form for the promotion of our Products and Services.

Butler New Media requires all Customers and Program Participants to comply with the following legal requirements established for commercial email service providers: the CAN SPAM Act of 2003; the Directive 2000/31/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 8 June 2000, on legal aspects of information society services, in particular, electronic commerce in the Internal Market ('Directive on Electronic Commerce'); along with the Directive 2002/58/EC of the European Parliament and Council of 12 July 2002, concerning the processing of personal data and the protection of privacy in the electronic communications sector ('Directive on Privacy and Electronic Communications'); and laws in force in the Customer's and Program Participant's country of residence.

Spam, also known as junk mail, is an unsolicited email message. The term 'spamming' refers to transmitting, distributing or delivering any unwanted email correspondence, especially in mass quantities, through electronic means of communication.

Accessiblenet Customers and Program Participants are obligated to obtain explicit consent from email recipients to deliver to them commercial correspondence. You must not send messages to any person that has not expressed their consent to receive such information from you.

Interested parties may fill out a capture form on your provided self-replicating website. Email addresses may also be imported or added to the mailing list manually. In such cases, you must have your subscriber's permission to process their data. We recommend "confirmed opt-in" to all users. This efficiently prevents spam complaints and makes the list much more responsive, as subscribers are receiving information they expect. The confirmation email may be customized, so that recipients can easily recognize to which list they subscribe.
Butler New Media strictly prohibits users from renting, leasing and/or purchasing email addresses from a third party, as well as from gathering them through surreptitious methods, such as scraping or harvesting. The use of any kinds of automated solutions, software or scripts is strictly forbidden. You may store, manage the data and send electronic information only to those recipients who have expressly agreed to receive such information from you.

The Customer and Program Participant must provide true and accurate information to be used in their email headers, i.e. "From" and "To" data must clearly identify the sender. The subject line must not be deceptive, and thus mislead the recipient about the purpose and content of the message.

The Customer and Program Participant must provide their true and accurate postal address, which will be stored on a secure server. The Customer and Program Participant are required to maintain and promptly update this data to ensure it is current, complete and accurate. Butler New Media occasionally verifies information that has been provided in order to prevent fraud.

Each message sent from Butler New Media account contains unsubscribe information.  When an unsubscribe request is received, it is promptly handled to ensure that a subscriber who has opted out will not be sent any further mailings.

The Customer and Program Participant must not use any provided tools to send any unsolicited and unwanted email correspondence. The Accessiblenet Program URL may not be included in a bulk message or in a bulk-advertised web page unless the recipients’ have agreed to receive such correspondence.

We reserve the right to issue a warning should the Customer or Program Participant be found spamming or using the Program for any abusive or illegal practices. Appropriate action, such as terminating the Customer's and Participant's account without notice or a refund, charging a $500 cleanup fee and/or reporting the Customer and the incident to their ISP and the appropriate authorities, shall be taken should the Customer and Program Participant appear to perform or be performing such practices, despite the explicit warning. Without limiting the foregoing, the Customer and Program Participant shall be liable for any loss incurred or damage suffered by any third party should such loss result from noncompliance with the Policy. In such a case, Butler New Media shall seek compensation from the Customer and Program Participant.
