Anti-Spam Policy

Back to main page

In order to use any of Aplus’ electronic mail or facsimile transmission Services, you must abide by this Anti-Spam Policy, our Universal Terms of Use, Acceptable Use Policy and applicable laws and regulations such as the CAN-SPAM Act, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act and all other applicable U.S., state, local and international laws including but not limited to those related to spamming, privacy, obscenity, or defamation, copyright and trademark infringement and child protective email address registry.

Spamming is defined as the sending of unsolicited commercial email, unsolicited bulk email or unsolicited facsimile transmissions. These are transmissions that are sent to recipients as, e.g. an advertisement, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent or “opt-in” to receive them from the sender. If you send unsolicited email to recipients who have not requested to receive it, your email transmission may be considered to be SPAM.

Aplus has a no-tolerance spam policy. We reserve the right to either redirect your homepage or implement technical mechanisms until corrective measures are taken or your account is cancelled.

Please report any suspected abuse to abuse@aplus.net or call us at 855-791-8966. If applicable, please also unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link at the bottom of the email if you no longer wish to receive emails from the sender. We will take the appropriate action against the sender of the email in question.

Although Aplus has no obligation to monitor your use of the Services or the content provided by you as part of your use of the Services, Aplus may do so and may block any email messages, remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Services that Aplus, in its sole discretion, believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of this Agreement.

Using Permission-Based Lists
A permission based list is a list of email addressees (persons or organizations) that have explicitly granted their permission to receive email communications from you. You agree to import, access or use only permission-based lists in connection with your use of the Services. You agree that you shall not utilize the Services to send any commercial electronic mail message (as that term is defined in the CAN-SPAM Act) to any person who has opted out or otherwise objected to receiving such messages from you or another sender on whose behalf you may be acting. You cannot mail to distribution lists, newsgroups, or spam or unsolicited email addresses.

Email and facsimile transmissions sent using our Services must include the following:

1. Each message that is sent using the service must contain a conspicuous and simple, (e.g. one-click, opt-out method) "unsubscribe" link that allows recipients to remove themselves from your mailing list or “opt out” of receiving further communications from you. You agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable the unsubscribe link.
2. You acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining and honoring the list of unsubscribe requests and taking action on each request within 10 days of being notified of any request for removal or opt-out and the opt-out mechanism must be active for at least 30 days from receipt.
3. You acknowledge and agree that you are the sole or designated "sender" (as such term is defined in the CAN-SPAM Act and any rules adopted under such act) of any message sent by you using the Services;
4. You agree that the "from" line of any message sent by you using the Services will accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify your organization, your product or your service;
5. You agree that the "subject" line of any message sent by you using the Services will not contain any deceptive or misleading content regarding the overall subject matter of the message;
6. You agree to include in any message sent by you using the Services, your valid physical address, which may be a valid post office box meeting the registration requirements established by the United States Postal Service. Valid and accurate information in the email header (“to” or “from” line); and
7. You agree to include in any message a legitimate return address and reply-to address

If you engage in any of these activities your transmission may be considered to be Spam:

1. Using non-permissions-based email or facsimile lists
2. failing to include a working opt-out link in your email
3. failing to honor opt-out requests within 10 days of your receiving notice
4. using false or misleading information in the subject line
5. using false or misleading information in the header
6. addressing your email in a generic, non-specific manner, e.g. sales@domain.com
