Foundry Software supports efforts to prevent spam. Foundry Software works to prevent its customers from sending email through MarketVolt™ to individuals who have not requested it or who have asked not to receive it. Foundry Software reserves the right to cancel MarketVolt™ services for any client who violates this policy.

If you answer “yes” to any of the following questions, you may be sending spam:

1.   Have you purchased/rented a mailing list from a third party and sent mailings to people on that list?

2.   Have you acquired someone’s email address without his/her permission and sent email to that address? Note: Someone may give his/her address to an organization and explicitly grant permission for that organization to share the address with partner organizations. In such a case, you may acquire that person’s address without his/her direct knowledge, and may send email to that person.

3.   Are you sending email to anyone who has not agreed to receive email from you?

4.   Are you sending email to anyone who explicitly asked to be removed from your mailing list?

5.   Does your email fail to provide a link that allows recipients to remove themselves from your mailing list?

6.   Are you sending email to a single-address mailing list (i.e. list@mailinglistaddress.com) that then redirects the email to multiple recipients? (Note: In such a case, a recipient has no way to prevent receipt of your mailings other than to unsubscribe from the third-party mailing list through which you’re sending the email).

7.   Does the subject line of your email contain false or misleading information?

8.   Have you falsified your originating address or transmission path information?

 Foundry Software takes the following steps to prevent spam and enforce this policy:

»   MarketVolt™ automatically sends an opt-in email to addresses that are added to a mailing list via an online sign-up page. The email asks the recipient to confirm his or her addition to the list. This prevents recipients from being signed up online without their knowledge and permission. Recipients added to the list in this manner will not receive a MarketVolt™ mailing unless and until they explicitly opt in.

»   MarketVolt™ reserves the right to monitor its clients’ list-building activities. If a client uploads a large list, MarketVolt™ reserves the right to ask the client for information about the source of that list. This helps to prevent clients from uploading third-party mailing lists that could violate this policy.

»   MarketVolt™ automatically inserts the client’s email address as a reply-to address in every mailing.

»   Every email sent via MarketVolt™ contains an unsubscribe link and information on how to report abuses of this policy.

»   MarketVolt™ may share tips, news, links to outside resources and other information with its clients to assist them in understanding spam issues, complying with spam prevention standards and laws, and working within this policy.

»   The Terms and Conditions for MarketVolt™ Services prohibit spam. In using the services, MarketVolt™ clients agree that they are complying with the policy and understand that their account will be terminated if they violate the policy.

If you have any questions regarding this policy or want to report a violation of this policy, send an email to info@MarketVolt.com

Please note that this policy may change. All changes will be posted on the MarketVolt™ web site.
