Anti Spam Policy

WEL SPAM Policy

Edit Broadcast Media's SPAM policy can be summarised as follows:

• Unsolicited commercial electronic messages must not be sent through the Edit Broadcast Media system.
• Messages sent through the Edit Broadcast Media system must include information abut the individual or organisation who authorised the sending of the message.
• Messages sent through the Edit Broadcast Media system must contain a functional "unsubscribe" facility.
• Electronic address lists resulting from "address-harvesting" software must not be supplied, acquired, or used on the Edit Broadcast Media system.
• Edit Broadcast Media prohibits the use of the Edit Broadcast Media system for the transmission of illegal material.

Edit Broadcast Media may use its discretion to refuse to process any job which falls into any of these categories.

Unsolicited messages are those which a party has not consented to be sent to them. To send messages through the Edit Broadcast Media system, you must have the consent of the recipient to send the information. This can be through the express consent of the recipient or through consent which has reasonably been inferred such as obtaining the address from a public source (e.g. a company's web) where the contact has been conspicuously published, and no statement that the addressee does not want to receive unsolicited commercial information appears. (In addition, your message must apply to the work-related business, functions, duties of the employee, director, officer, partner, office-holder or self-employed individual to whom you are directing the message.) If the recipient of your message does not fit one of these two categories, then Edit Broadcast Media prohibits you from sending the information to that recipient. In particular, messages which fit any of the following purposes MUST have the consent of the recipient:

• to offer to supply goods, services or real property; or
• to advertise or promote goods, services or real property; or
• to advertise or promote a supplier, or prospective supplier, of goods, services or real property; or
• to offer to provide a business opportunity or investment opportunity; or
• to advertise or promote a business opportunity or investment opportunity; or
• to advertise or promote a provider, or prospective provider, of a business opportunity or investment opportunity.

You must comply with the SPAM Act (2003), which prohibit the transmission of certain unsolicited messages.

Your message must clearly and accurately identify the individual or organization that authorized the sending of the message. This includes:

• their name, logo (optional) and contact details; and
• accurate information about how the recipient can readily contact the individual or organization.

This information should be valid for at least 30 days after the message is sent.

Messages sent through the Edit Broadcast Media system must contain a functional unsubscribe facility. This means that the message must have a statement that the recipient of the message may use an electronic address set out in the message to send an "unsubscribe message" to the individual or organisation who authorised the sending of the first message. An "unsubscribe message" is a message to the effect that the relevant electronic account-holder does not want to receive any further commercial electronic messages from or authorised by that individual or organisation.

In addition, Edit Broadcast Media offers its own unsubscribe facility. A recipient of a message may also contact Edit Broadcast Media to block any further messages being sent to that recipient through the Edit Broadcast Media system.

Electronic address lists resulting from "address-harvesting software" must not be supplied, acquired or used on the Edit Broadcast Media system. "Address-harvesting software" means software that is specifically designed or marketed for use for:

• Searching the Internet for electronic addresses; and
• Collecting, compiling, capturing or otherwise harvesting those electronic addresses.

Address lists compiled through such means are almost always done without the concurrence of the addressee. Use of these addresses is one of the major contributors to "spamming" and is prohibited by Edit Broadcast Media.

You may not transmit messages through the Edit Broadcast Media system which contravene any Federal, State, or other applicable law.
