Anti Spam Policy

What is Spam?

Spam is unsolicited e-mail, often of a commercial nature, sent indiscriminately to multiple mailing lists, individuals, or newsgroups. In short, spam is "junk e-mail." As defined by H.R. 3113 and reported by the Subcommittee on Telecommunications, Trade, and Consumer Protection, unsolicited e-mail refers to any electronic message that:

• advertises a product or service for profit,
• is sent for other commercial purposes,
• is sent to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an existing business relationship, or
• invites the recipient to view content on a website that is operated for a commercial purpose.

We recognize an e-mail as "spam" if:

• the recipient is unable to unsubscribe from the e-mail list,
• the transmission contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names, or other means of deceptive addressing, or
• in the opinion of the recipient, the transmission and reception of the message appears to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.

What is opt-in vs. opt-out e-mail?

Opt-in e-mail is a web marketing term for promotional e-mail that recipients have previously requested by signing up via a website or special ad banner. Typically, web users are invited to sign up for promotional information about one or more product or service categories. Those who sign up have thus "opted in." Opt-out e-mail is a web marketing term for promotional e-mail that recipients have not previously requested by signing up. However, for The Moving Waves e-mail distributions, the contact's e-mail address must have been provided to The Moving Waves by that individual via The Moving Waves website, conference, or trade show. Individuals who have willingly given The Moving Waves their contact information via these methods are automatically added to e-mail distribution lists that benefit that individual. Although the individual is added to the e-mail distribution list on the concept of opt-out, the individual is ALWAYS given the opportunity to easily unsubscribe - without being hassled.

What is The Moving Waves doing to become "anti-spam?

The Moving Waves hopes that individuals find its e-mail communications informative and helpful. However, The Moving Waves respects the recipient's wishes for either receiving or not receiving e-mail communications from us. Therefore, The Moving Waves has adopted the following as procedures for all of its e-mail distribution communications:

Valid addressing

The e-mail communication will be sent to a single recipient with the intention of it being received by only one individual. The sender address will be a valid The Moving Waves e-mail address that is monitored by a The Moving Waves employee. Therefore the sender address can also be sent e-mail. The sender address will be relevant to the content of the message being sent.

Valid headers/subjects

The e-mail communication will always have a header or subject that is appropriate and true to the content provided in the communication. The header or subject will not be used inappropriately or give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.

Valid contact information

Any contact information in the e-mail communication will be real and relevant to Themovingwaves.com

Valid subscribe/unsubscribe service

Each email sent through The Moving Waves system contains a link that allows subscribers to unsubscribe from receiving emails from us.

If you have received an unwanted email sent by The Moving Waves system, please see above for options on how to handle and report an issue. The e-mail communication will always have the "The Moving Waves Subscription" information at the end. The Moving Waves website will always provide information on how to subscribe or unsubscribe to any of its e-mail distribution lists.
