E-mails and spam

To send unsolicited faxes or SMS-messages is also considered as spam.

Spam is prohibited. Any slight indication that the affiliate is associated with spam may cause immediately termination of this Agreement, including cancellation of any pending and owned commissions.

In some cases you can send e-mails in accordance with the U.S. Federal CAN-SPAM Act, depending on the legislation on your location. If any legislation is respected and you have permission to do so, we accept the sending of e-mails to recipients on so-called opt-in lists.

If you use opt-in lists any and all requirements described below must be met - no point can be omitted:

-   The recipient must clearly and before you send any e-mail, have agreed to receive e-mails from you
-   The e-mail's "From," and "To," information must be the real sender and recipient's e-mail addresses
-   Only one sender and one recipient visible - no recipient must be able to expose any other recipients' e-mail addresses
-   The subject line must not mislead the recipient about the contents or subject matter of the message
-   It must be obvious to the recipient that the e-mail is sent on behalf of yourself
-   It must be obvious to the recipient that the e-mail is sent on your own initiative
-   It must be obvious to the recipient that the e-mail is NOT sent on behalf of Holiday-Secure
-   It must be obvious to the recipient that the e-mail is sent by you and the purpose is to advertise
-   The content of the e-mail must include the real valid physical postal address of the sender
-   The e-mail must end with a clear and easy unsubscribe (opt-out) Internet-based method like a mouse click
-   You must respect a recipient's unsubscribe (opt-out) request and not send more e-mails to the recipient
