DEALERHOSTS, INC supports ONLY permission-based email management practices. In this regard, DEALERHOSTS, INC has implemented various policies and procedures that:
Spam is unsolicited commercial email, junk mail or bulk mail that has not been requested by the recipient. In addition to being perceived as intrusive, irrelevant and often offensive, it is also typical that spam emails do not contain an option to unsubscribe from the mailing list. Simply put, spam is the opposite of permission-based emails -- those that are requested, anticipated, personal and relevant.
Users must abide by a strictly enforced Terms of Service. In the "Limitations On Your Use Of DEALERHOSTS, INC's Services" section of the Terms of Service, it clearly states our policy with respect to spam: "You may not use the DEALERHOSTS, INC Services or the products or services provided through or in connection with the DEALERHOSTS, INC Services to send unsolicited bulk email, for commercial or non-commercial purposes. Unsolicited bulk email is defined as email sent to more than 10 individuals without their permission."
Also, users must accept that an unsubscribe option will be automatically appended to every email sent via DEALERHOSTS, INC Services. This is not an option. In the event that a user violates any one of our usage rules, or for any other reason deemed appropriate by DEALERHOSTS, INC, DEALERHOSTS INC reserves the right to suspend or terminate, without notice, access to the user's account and all related data.
DEALERHOSTS, INC encourages its users to create and manage "opt-in" subscriber lists. By building and using an "opt-in" subscriber list, users can be certain that they are sending emails to recipients that have expressly given their permission to do so.
It is also important to note that subscribers receiving email campaigns by users will only see their names in the header -- all other email addresses are not viewable which makes them safer from unsolicited email abuse via other recipients of the same email campaign.
If a complaint is received regarding unsolicited emails being sent from our DEALERHOSTS, INC tools, an immediate investigation is undertaken:
DEALERHOSTS, INC takes permission marketing very seriously. Thank you for reviewing our Anti-Spam Policy.
