Policy Alivamax
Worldwide Anti-Spam Policy Alivamax Worldwide has a ZERO tolerance for Spam. All Spam complaints are taken seriously. Spam is considered an unethical form of Internet advertising and is becoming illegal in more and more jurisdictions. In addition Spamming can incur substantial monetary fines from any of the providers through which Spam is directed because of the time, resources and expense it can incur for business. Spam is a negative form of advertising and is HIGHLY disliked within the Internet community. An email is SPAM if it has been sent to an address that was not requested from you. You must not send Spam via our service or send Spam that in any way implicates our services by including the and/or any Alivamax Worldwide Internet domains or any other website associate with Alivamax Worldwide, Inc. This includes mentioning an Alivamax Worldwide email address or URL in any bulk email message. If

notice. Have you Alivamax Worldwide Distributorship terminated
immediately without notice. Forfeit all commissions due if any.
Have a MINIMUM of $1000 claim filed against you in a court of law.

Be reported to additional proper authorities to take action against you such as Spam Cop. Be permanently banned from ALL Alivamax Worwide systems.

is the sending of unsolicited and unauthorized e-mails or online
communications such as but not limited to bulletin boards, user groups
or instant messaging services to individuals or businesses who do not
know you personally and who have not agreed or requested to receive
your emails; or have not provided their email address directly to the
sender; or an email sent to a recipient who would not have a
reasonable expectation of receiving email from the sender. Spam
can be a single email or a bulk mailing. Posting
messages to Usenet or News Group groups that explicitly forbid the
posting of commercial solicitations or solicitations not pertaining to
their content is Spam. Buying a list of emails from a third
party and individually or bulk emailing them is considered Spam. Opt-out
lists where a person is specifically required to request removal from
a mailing list in order to prevent solicitation is Spam. Hiring
a company that is mailing out to a list of people with your
opportunity that did not specifically request to receive your
information beforehand is considered Spam. Emailing
through an approved DOUBLE Opt-in list provider is not considered
Spam. Double opt-in means that not only did the people request
to be on the list, they verified it by approving the request a second
time. The BEST guideline for knowing whether or not an email is
Spam is if someone did not specifically request the information then
it is SPAM. Promoting
FFA Sites (Free For All) Promoting
Alivamax Wordwide on FFA (Free For All) sites is NOT allowed. FFA
sites and similar programs have a HIGH RISK of generating Spam
complaints because of the nature of that type of program.
Advertising on FFA sites is not permitted for promoting and Alivamax
Worldwide web site, related web site and/or services. Any
complaints generated from advertising with FFA programs will be
treated as Spam. FFA
sites are sites with lots of links to peoples web sites. You are
told that if you list your site, you will have your own FFA site where
you can send people to post their links. Your link will
replicated to many other sites. You are told that every time
someone adds their link, they will get an email telling them about
your opportunity. Then
your link is also on their site, and everyone who adds a link to their
site gets an email from you. This leads to an enormous amount of
email going out from you, automatically. Many people who put
links on FFA sites do not realize that the tons of email they get is
simply a result of posting their link, they they complain of SPAM. FFA
sites are notorious for generating Spam complaints. Marketing
Alivamax Worldwide on FFA sites is not allowed and will be treated as
Spam. Policy for using lists obtained from 3rd Parties In
general, many email lists obtained from third parties are culled from
internet web sites, domain registrations, and other NO opt-in sources.
The use of such lists with our system is prohibited. There
are certain cases when the use of a list obtained from a third party
may be acceptable, however in order for a mailing to a third party
list to be acceptable under our unsolicited email policies, the
following rules must be adhered to: The
email addresses obtained by the third party must be strictly opt-in,
and follow all or our policies regarding opt-in email list collection. The
third party assembling the email list must make a clear disclosure
stating that recipients addresses are provided to others. The
third party must be able to provide documentation regarding the
validity of the addresses in case of an unsolicited email complaint. Any
messages sent to addresses obtained from a third party must contain
information disclosing the source of the addresses. If a third
party prohibits such disclosure, their list may not be used in our
system. The
content of messages sent to addresses from a third party list must be
consistent with the disclosure made to the recipients upon initial
provision of the email address. As
a list owner, you are fully responsible for any third party's
adherence to our policies for lists which you obtain and use in our
system. Any violation of our policies by third parties will be
seen as violations by you, and will subject your account to
suspension, termination, and penalty fees accordingly. WARNING:
No reputable opt-in list company will sell you email addresses. Tips
