7. ANTI-SPAM POLICY.

Surveyetc.com, a leading Web-based application for research and feedback, is committed to being a trusted member of the Internet community. As such, we have adopted a firm anti-spam stance. Spam can deluge a recipient's email box and waste the recipient's time and money. Spam often causes recipients to complain to their Internet Service Providers who in turn may block or restrict access from legitimate services like Surveyetc.com, and Users, like you.

To help recipients be free from spam, and to maximize the availability of our Services to our community of Users, we have taken a "zero tolerance" stand against spam. You acknowledge, warrant and agree that:

·                                 You will not engage in any spamming activities in your use of the Services.

·                                 You understand that Surveyetc.com is serving as "survey host" and is not the sender or originator of any survey, and that you are therefore solely responsible for your email/SMS-ing activities using the Services.

·                                 You warrant that you either have an ongoing business or personal relationship with or have obtained consents to send email/SMS messages inviting participation in a survey to the persons on your own email/mobile phone list and on any lists you have acquired from a third party.

·                                 Your use of the Site and Services will not violate any U.S. or foreign spamming, junk mail or other related laws or regulations prohibiting or discouraging unsolicited mail.

·                                 If you engage in any unlawful spamming activity, Surveyetc.com will report such conduct to the appropriate authorities and turn over any and all information, including personally identifiable information, to appropriate law enforcement persons or entities.

·                                 We may request at any time that you provide proof that your email/SMS recipients have agreed to receive email/SMS messages from you. We may require that you provide the name of a list vendor and documentation of specific opt-in processes you or the vendor have used.

We will terminate the account of any User determined to have used the Services in connection with any spam email/SMS or otherwise breached these Terms of Use. Please be advised that we may also terminate your account if your mailings result in high bounce rates, a report or complaint of spam against the sender, poor monitoring of recipient consents including lax address book and email/mobile phone list management, or lack of compliance with anti-spam guidelines. We reserve the right to terminate your account(s) and your use of the Services, without notice, if we believe your activities are not in compliance with this Anti-Spam policy. We thank you for your compliance with our Anti-Spam policy and your commitment to good email/SMS-ing practices.

·                                 You will not send any transmission that attempts to hide your identity or represents you as someone else.

·                                 Any attempt by you to transmit, publish or distribute material or content that promotes, provides or relates to instructional information about illegal activities or promotes physical harm or injury against any individual or group is strictly prohibited.

If you engage in any activity set forth in this paragraph or violate any terms or conditions of these Terms of Use, your account will be terminated and use of the Service and Site prohibited.
