modify or use other Graphics not created or modified by us, you must
obtain written permission from OnWEB Strategies first. Further, you
may add or delete approved Graphics from your site at any time
without our approval. New Graphics will be posted in the farm from
time to time. It is your responsibility to make sure that all changes
are adhered to.
Spams
and Falsification
Should
OnWEB Strategies in its sole discretion determine that you are guilty
of spamming, providing false account information, falsely increasing
your number of clicks and/or acting or attempting to act in any
false, misleading or illegal manner, OnWEB Strategies shall have the
right to immediately terminate this Agreement with cause and hold all
monies due you. Such termination or waiver thereof shall in no way
constitute a waiver of any other Section of this Agreement.
Guidelines
for Approved Opt-In Email Lists
Prior to starting any type of e-mail, enewsletter, etc. campaign,
you MUST e-mail us at support@onwebstrategies.com with the
dates of the drop. Include the number being sent and type of campaign
with an attachment of what is being sent (approved text only).
SPAMMING (any form of mass communication that creates
complaints from the user receiving the communication) IS NOT ALLOWED.
If you spam, your link to the program will be disabled immediately.
As such, any e-mails, enewsletters, etc., MUST be "permission"
or "opt-in" based e-mail addresses and include a way to
unsubscribe. To prevent your account from being disabled for "SPAM"
follow the guidelines "a" to "h" below.
a)
The e-mail addresses of new subscribers must be confirmed or verified
before mailings commence. This is usually accomplished by means of an
e-mail message sent to the subscriber to which she/he must reply, or
containing a URL which she/he must visit, in order to complete the
subscription. However it is implemented, a fundamental requirement of
all lists is for verification of all new subscriptions;
b)
Mailing list administrators must provide a simple method for
subscribers to terminate their subscriptions, and administrators
should provide clear and effective instructions for unsubscribing
from a mailing list. Mailings from a list must cease promptly once a
subscription is terminated;
c) Mailing list administrators should
make an "out of band" procedure (e.g., an e-mail address to
which messages may be sent for further contact via e-mail or
telephone) available for those who wish to terminate their mailing
list subscriptions but are unable or unwilling to follow standard
automated procedures;
d) Mailing list administrators must ensure
that the impact of their mailings on the networks and hosts of others
is minimized by proper list management procedures such as pruning of
invalid or undeliverable addresses, or taking steps to ensure that
mailings do not overwhelm less robust hosts or networks;
e)
Mailing list administrators must take adequate steps to ensure that
their lists are not used for abusive purposes. For example,
administrators can maintain a "suppression list" of e-mail
addresses from which all subscription requests are rejected.
Addresses would be added to the suppression list upon request by the
parties entitled to use the addresses at issue. The purpose of the
suppression list would be to prevent subscription of addresses
appearing on the suppression list by unauthorized third parties. Such
suppression lists should also give properly authorized domain
administrators the option to suppress all mailings to the domains for
which they are responsible;
f) Mailing list administrators must
make adequate disclosures about how subscriber addresses will be
used, including whether or not addresses are subject to sale or trade
with other parties. Once a mailing list is traded or sold, it may no
longer be an opt-in mailing list; therefore, those who are acquiring
"opt-in" lists from others must examine the terms and
conditions under which the addresses were originally compiled and
determine that all recipients have in fact opted-in specifically to
the mailing lists to which they are being traded or sold;
g)
Mailing list administrators should make adequate disclosures about
the nature of their mailing lists, including the subject matter of
the lists and anticipated frequency of messages. A substantive change
in either the subject matter or frequency of messages may constitute
a new and separate mailing list requiring a separate subscription.
List administrators should create a new mailing list when there is a
substantive change in either the subject matter or frequency of
messages. A notification about the new mailing list may be
appropriate on the existing mailing list, but existing subscribers
should never be subscribed automatically to the new list. For
example, if Company A acquires Company B, and Company B has compiled
opt-in mailing lists, Company A should not summarily incorporate
Company B's mailing lists into its own.; and,
h) Solicitations
should be sent to US residents only; all others should be screened
out prior to the e-mail drop unless prior approval has been given by
OnWEB Strategies.

Strategies in its sole discretion reserves the right not to accept

or intent. Should OnWEB Strategies determine in its sole discretion

hold all monies due you. Such termination or waiver thereof shall in
no way constitute a waiver of any other Section of this Agreement.
