Anti-Spam Policy

Last Updated:

May 05, 2022

Over the past few years, we have witnessed a remarkable transformation in the online landscape. The internet has become a hub of thriving commercial activity, and this surge can be attributed to a convergence of factors. Rapid technological advancements, the removal of intermediaries, and the presence of tax incentives conducive to online entrepreneurship have collectively fueled this dynamic environment.

At Nabtech, we take immense pride in our unwavering commitment to nurturing responsible online commerce. This commitment finds expression in the diverse array of services we offer and the unparalleled support we provide to our valued clients. However, as this online ecosystem continues to evolve, it has become increasingly evident that the very environment that fosters growth also presents challenges.

One such challenge is the persistent issue of "spam." Spam, an informal term, refers to the unsolicited sending of emails, instant messages, or other forms of communication to a broad audience in one go. This practice extends to off-topic and often promotional messages posted on bulletin boards, guestbooks, Usenet newsgroups, or chat rooms, causing disruptions and inconveniences for internet users.

It is of paramount importance to underline that spam is strictly prohibited under our Terms of Service. Our stance on this issue is unwavering. Any customer found using spam in conjunction with their Nabtech account will face immediate account suspension, without the possibility of a refund. Our commitment remains steadfast in ensuring a clean, secure, and trustworthy online environment for all our valued clients.

This comprehensive policy provides clear and specific guidelines for the responsible and acceptable use of bulk email and messaging services offered by Nabtech:

Subscriptions

Subscribing to our mailing lists is a deliberate and opt-in process. This requirement applies equally to new subscribers and the inclusion of email addresses that may already be subscribed through other methods. The confirmation process is initiated by sending a single confirmation email to the subscriber's provided email address. Within this email, subscribers will find a link to our website's privacy policy, a brief but informative description of the mailing list's purpose, and a URL that the user must follow to confirm their subscription.

It is important to note that subscriber information includes not only their email address but also the date and time of their subscription confirmation, along with the IP address from which the confirmation was made. Nabtech retains the right to request access to this information, and subscribers should be prepared to provide it when requested.

Transparency regarding the use of email addresses is paramount. This transparency is established either directly on the subscription page or through a prominently placed link to our website's Privacy Policy. Users must have a clear understanding of how their email addresses will be employed and the specific circumstances under which their information may be shared.

It's important to note that the use of external email lists is only permissible if the sender has lawfully acquired them from an organization that legitimately sells or shares email distribution lists. Furthermore, the following stringent conditions must be met for the use of such lists:

1. The external list source must adhere to all relevant laws and regulations concerning email marketing and data privacy.
2. The sender must be able to provide documented proof of the legality of their acquisition of the email list upon request.
3. Recipients of emails from external lists must have the option to easily unsubscribe or opt-out from future communications.
4. Emails sent to recipients from external lists must clearly identify the sender and provide accurate contact information.

Nabtech is committed to ensuring the responsible and ethical use of email and messaging services, and this policy serves as a foundation for maintaining a secure and trustworthy online environment for all our valued clients.

• The selling organization maintains a publicly viewable privacy policy disclosing that such sales may occur.
• The privacy policy is prominently linked to from the page the subscriber signed up from.
• The privacy policy has not changed substantially since the user signed up.
• Records are kept of the date, time, IP address, and form location where the subscribing user signed up from.
• Lists procured from outside parties must have been consistently handled in a manner comparable to Nabtech policies.
• Users cannot populate lists with addresses obtained for a substantially different purpose than was originally disclosed to the user.
• All subscriptions must be re-confirmed in the manner described in Subscriptions (Section 1) before being sent bulk email messages.

Mailing Practices and Responsible Conduct

Users are expected to uphold the highest standards of ethical conduct when it comes to mailing practices. This includes refraining from altering message headers in a way that intentionally conceals the message's origin.

It is imperative that undeliverable email addresses are promptly removed from all future mailings. A maximum of 5 bounces should trigger this removal process to ensure the efficiency and reliability of our mailing services.

Users bear full responsibility for the actions of any affiliates they engage, treating them as if they were employing an external advertising agency. Ethical conduct is essential in all interactions.

Whether users utilize external advertising firms or third-party mailing programs, they are required to adhere to the same stringent policies and practices as those using Nabtech's in-house bulk mailing list tools.

All mailings must incorporate clear and straightforward instructions for opting out of future communications. Subscribers should have no difficulty requesting removal from a mailing list, and every reasonable effort must be made to facilitate their removal when requested.

Users are advised and acknowledge that Nabtech's electronic mail service equipment is distributed across multiple locations, including Germany, the United States, and India. It is strictly prohibited to use Nabtech's equipment in violation of the anti-spam laws of these countries and Nigeria.

Prohibition of Spamware

The use of software designed explicitly to facilitate spamming is strictly prohibited in conjunction with your Nabtech account. Such practices are not aligned with our commitment to responsible and ethical use of our services.

Appropriate Use of Promotional Messages

It is important to exercise caution when posting predominantly promotional messages. These messages should not be disseminated to bulletin boards, discussion forums, guestbooks, Usenet newsgroups, or similar services unless the operator of the service explicitly permits such content. In the case of Usenet newsgroups, adherence to the specific group's charter regarding message content is essential.

Account Disablement

Nabtech retains the prerogative to deactivate any account at its discretion, should there be reasonable suspicion of its involvement in spam-related activities.

Furthermore, Nabtech may exercise its sole discretion to impose limitations on the number of email addresses that can be created in conjunction with any account. Such limitations are contingent upon a review and verification process to ensure compliance with all agreed-upon terms.

It is incumbent upon customers to promptly and substantially address all inquiries from Nabtech personnel related to spam. Failure to respond within a reasonable timeframe, typically within 72 hours, may result in the deactivation of the user's account.

By adhering to these guidelines and upholding the privacy of your website's visitors, you can reap substantial benefits from the responsible practice of online commerce. If you ever require clarification or guidance on the proper utilization of bulk email services for your website, please don't hesitate to reach out to us for more information.

NabtechCompute Accounts

It is crucial to note that all the aforementioned terms and restrictions equally apply to any NabtechCompute account and its associated use cases. These regulations are integral to maintaining a secure and trustworthy online environment.
