Policing Spam:
Marketing LIVE! monitors all large imported lists and all emails going to large lists. If a client is found to be using Marketing LIVE! to send spam, we reserve the right to immediately suspend that client’s account.
If you are uploading lists to Marketing LIVE!, you must explicitly certify that your lists consist of 100% certifiable opt-in email addresses. Marketing LIVE! reserves the right to request such proof, and the client’s inability to supply it may result in the suspension of their account.
An unsubscribe link is annexed by Marketing LIVE! to the footer of every outgoing email. Any efforts to disable, this will result in an immediate suspension of the client’s account.
Marketing LIVE! also monitors the subject matter of large lists. Any large lists found to be using false or misleading subject lines or attempting to distribute illegal information will be immediately suspended.
We invite the greater Internet community to provide us with feedback about our client’s use of Marketing LIVE!.
If you believe someone has been sending spam using Marketing LIVE!, please send full details to abuse@mktlive.com

What is Spam?
Spam is unsolicited e-mail, often called junk mail. By sending e-mail to only to those who have requested it, you are following accepted guidelines.
The Spam Test
1. Are you importing a purchased list of ANY kind?
2. Are you sending to non-specific addresses such as:
sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, or other general addresses.
3. Are you sending to distribution lists or mailing lists that send indirectly to many e-mail addresses?
4. Are you mailing to anyone who has not explicitly agreed to join your mailing list?
5. Have you falsified your originating address or transmission path information?
6. Have you used a third party e-mail address or domain name without their permission?
7. Does your e-mail's subject line contain false or misleading information?
8. Does your e-mail fail to provide a working link to unsubscribe?
If you have answered YES to ANY of the above questions you will likely be labelled a SPAMMER. For more information visit The Coalition Against Unsolicited E-mail and FTC's CAN-SPAM Law.
