Bulk, Commercial Email, and Spam

You are required to maintain full compliance with the United States CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, in addition to the laws and regulations of other jurisdictions as they pertain to bulk, commercial, or unsolicited (spam) email. You additionally agree that:

  • Each recipient to whom you send email has provided their affirmative consent to receive email from you via an opt-in, or preferably double opt-in procedure, where you have taken reasonable steps to guarantee that the user providing the consent is the legitimate owner of the email address provided to you.
  • You will retain evidence of each recipient’s affirmative consent to receive bulk or commercial email from you and that such evidence can be promptly produced within 72 hours at the request of either Chisik Studio, LLC or the recipient.
  • You have procedures in place to allow the recipient to easily revoke their consent to receive bulk or commercial email, that you send, in the form of a conspicuous removal link in the body of each email, or clear and concise instructions on how to revoke their consent to receive future bulk or commercial email from you.
  • You will provide recipients of your bulk or commercial email with an email address for complaints (such as abuse@yourdomain.com) in a conspicuous place in the email you send, and on your web site (if applicable). You also agree to promptly respond to messages sent to that address.
  • You will not obscure the origin or your email in any manner. This includes, but is not limited to, the forging of message header information, or the manipulation of the From or Reply-To addresses that would otherwise invalidate your ability to receive bounce backs, system error messages, or complaints from recipients.
  • You will not repeatedly continue to send messages to recipients whose email addresses have generated system delivery errors or undeliverable messages errors for a period of more than fifteen (15) days. In such an event, you agree to remove the email addresses responsible for the system delivery errors or undeliverable message errors until such time that the recipient re-opts-in to receiving bulk or commercial email from you.

These policies apply to email messages sent using your Chisik Studio, LLC provided Services, or to messages sent from another service provider’s network, or from any other Person on your behalf, that directly or indirectly refers the recipient to a web site or email address hosted via your Chisik Studio, LLC provided Service. In addition, you may not use a third-party emailing service that does not practice similar procedures for its customers. These requirements apply to pre-compiled distribution lists prepared by third-parties to the same extent as if the list were created directly by you. Chisik Studio, LLC, at its sole discretion, may test or otherwise monitor your compliance with these requirements, and if non-compliance is discovered, block the transmission of email that you send which violates these provisions.

Your Additional Warranties

  • Use your Chisik Studio, LLC assigned IP addresses solely for the purposes of accessing Services provided by Chisik Studio, LLC.
  • Take reasonable actions to prevent the listing of IP addresses assigned to you by Chisik Studio, LLC in email abuse databases such as Spamhaus, SpamCop, or other similar databases. If your assigned IP addresses are listed in such a database, you will be in violation of this AUP and Chisik Studio, LLC may take reasonable actions to protect its IP addresses from further listings, including suspension or termination of your Services, regardless of whether the IP addresses were listed as result of your direct actions.
  • Allow Chisik Studio, LLC to quarantine or delete infected data on shared, Chisik Studio, LLC provided equipment or network systems, when such data contains a worm, virus, malicious code, or is otherwise corrupted, and Chisik Studio, LLC reasonably believes that the data has the potential to infect or corrupt other customers’ data or systems on the network.
