AviMark ® ANTI-SPAM POLICY

AviMark has a no tolerance spam policy. AviMark 's customer support actively monitors large import lists and emails going to a large number of clients. Any customer found to be using AviMark for spam will be immediately cut-off from use of the product. If you know of or suspect any violators, please notify us immediately at abuse@AviMark.net .

Every email contains a mandatory unsubscribe link - those individuals who try to remove this link will be warned that they are doing so. If the link is removed or de-activated in any way, AviMark will terminate the customer's account.

What is Spam?

Spam is unsolicited email also known as UCE (Unsolicited Commercial Email). By sending email to only to those who have requested to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based email guidelines.

What constitutes a Preexisting business relationship?

The recipient of your email has made a purchase, requested information, responded to a questionnaire or a survey, or had offline contact with you.

What constitutes consent?

The recipient of your email has been clearly and fully notified of the collection and use of his email address and has consented prior to such collection and use. This is often called informed consent.

Isn't there a law against sending Spam?

The federal anti-spam law went into effect on January 1st, 2004 and preempts all state laws. While this new law will not stop spam, it does make most spam illegal and ultimately less attractive to spammers. The law is specific about requirements to send commercial email and empowers the federal government to enforce the law. The penalties can include a fine and/or imprisonment for up to 5 years.

How AviMark protects you from sending spam

AviMark is a permission-based email-marketing tool that follows the strictest permission-based philosophies:

How to protect yourself from Spam: Take the Spam Test

  1. Are you importing a purchased list of ANY kind in your practice management software?
  2. Does your client database contains non-specific addresses such as:
    • sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, or other general addresses.
  3. Have you falsified your originating address or transmission path information?
  4. Does your email's subject line contain false or misleading information?
  5. Does your email fail to provide a working link to unsubscribe?

If you have answered YES to ANY of the above questions you will likely be labeled a SPAMMER. For more information visit The Coalition Against Unsolicited Email (www.cauce.org) or contact Contact Customer Support (support@AviMark.net )
