Antispam Policy
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM is committed to permission-based email
marketing practices, and as a result has established this
no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM will
occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy.
Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including
“junk mail”, which has not been requested by the recipient. It
is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive and it wastes
valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of
permission-based email which are normally anticipated, personal,
relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or
personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities
consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to several
newsgroups are also deemed to be spam
Customers of WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM have agreed in their contract
to comply with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each
customer agrees not to use the WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM services to
send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for
commercial purposes. WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM reserves the right to
determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable
spam, as well as what measures are necessary in response to such
spam activities

How WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM Helps to Avoid Spamming |
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM operates on a strict permission-based
philosophy. This anti-spam philosophy is implemented through

indicates for what purpose site visitors’ addresses are
collected and that WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM will follow the
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy |
|

Unsubscription – Each email communication marketing
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM services contains an “unsubscribe
link”. If
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM
’s web site visitors use the link to request that they
be unsubscribed, its subscriber lists will automatically
be adjusted to eliminate the prospect of sending
unwanted email to such persons. Additionally, each
person on its subscriber list has the option of
unsubscribing through a web-based method provided on the
WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM web site |
|
(c) |
Purchased Mailing Lists – WOMENSGOLFSTUFF.COM does not
purchase email lists for mass mailings.

identify the point of origin or the transmission path of
the email, or to hide the true origin of the email

without the permission of such third party, to make it
appear that the third party was the point of origin of
