Marketing ethics act
This act is posted by its supporters as a guideline for marketing service providers, who leverage personal
contact capabilities for promoting their products and services. Supporters of this act, your prospects and
potential customers, would like to bring the following list of considerations to your attention and promptly
ask for your participation:
- Any method of contact, requiring immediate people's attention, including but not limited to phone calls,
SMS or text messages, pop-ups and IM messages, are not acceptable as marketing vehicle or advertisement method.
We should not be receiving the advertizements through these channels unless we explicitly grant the such
priviledge to your business. This priviledge can be withdrawn by customer at any time
and should not affect tariffs, rates, discounts or any other conditions of your service. Your business must
provide customers with easy and convenient way to opt out, which does not imply any cost to customer. Clean
opt-out instructions must be present in each advertizement.
- Any method of contact, not requiring immediate people's attention, such as e-mails or direct mail can be
used by your business as marketing vehicle or advertizement method, but only if:
- It is addressed and delivered to particular individual
- It is clearly marked as advertizement message and can be detected automatically without human participation
- It contains clear instructions on how to opt-out
- Your business communicates at most three (or any other number previously arranged with the individual)
advertizements per month to particular individual
- If you insist on your right to do the marketing your way, we insist to be paid for spending our time reading
through your advertizements. Reading advertizements is provided to you as a paid service,
sending your advertizements to us implies that you agree with terms of service and fees, including $500 (USD)
per advertizement message plus taxes, legal fees and collection costs. This amount is billed to the advertizing
company or the vendor of advertized product or service, if the advertizing company cannot be contacted or does
not exist as a legal business.
