Spam Policy
The Success Resources Ventures (the“Company”) does not condone nor support spam (i.e., unsolicited commercial e-mail) because it wastes precious
time and resources. Spam also diminishes the overall value and effectiveness of
e-mail communications. As a result, neither the Company nor any website,
affiliate, member or customer is permitted to send unsolicited e-mail
communications to people who have not requested them to do so or to whom a
preexisting relationship does not exist by using, harvesting or otherwise
obtaining information associated with the www.successresourcesventures.com
website (the “Website”) in order to transmit any e-mail communication. It shall
be a violation of this Spam Policy and the Terms of Use (“TOU”) for any
customer, member, website or affiliate to do so. Violation of this Spam Policy
and/or the TOU can, at the Company’s sole and absolute discretion, result in
account termination and/or the restriction of access rights to the Website.
Why you may have received
unsolicited e-mails or e-mails from unfamiliar senders?
On occasion, you may receive what appears to
be an unsolicited e-mail or an e-mail from a sender you do not know. Depending
on the circumstances, these e-mails may or may not violate this Spam Policy or
the TOU. For instance, the following are examples of permissible circumstances
under which a potentially unsolicited e-mail or an e-mail from an unknown may
have been received by you:
- You may have signed up for an
associated website’s and/or affiliate’s newsletters, promotions or
services and have forgotten having done so;
- You have an existing relationship
(i.e., purchased something or
use certain services) with an associated website and/or affiliate; and/or
- Someone
may have signed you up to receive an associated website’s and/or
affiliate’s newsletters, promotions, services or e-mail communications
without permission to do so.
Under the foregoing scenarios, the e-mail
communication received would not violate the Company’s Spam Policy or TOU
because it would have been authorized or at least appear to have been
authorized, by you or there is an existing relationship between you and the
sender. Despite these circumstances, however, you may wish to stop receiving
these e-mail communications.
What you can do to stop
receiving unwanted e-mail communications.
The first thing you can do is see if the
unwanted e-mail communication contains a hyperlink at the bottom of the message
for opting out of or removing your e-mail address from future e-mail
transmissions. If so, click on the hyperlink at the bottom of the message that
is designated for opting out or removing you from further e-mail transmissions
from the sender in order to stop receiving them in the future. If you click on
the “remove” link at the end of a message sent by the Company or an associated
website, you will be automatically removed from the customer subscriber list
used to generate the e-mail communication.
Circumstances may arise where you have received
spam in violation of this Spam Policy and the TOU. To report abusive e-mail
activity, please send an e-mail to sr4ventures@gmail.com that provides a
description of the e-mail content, subject matter and sender’s identity so the
Company can investigate the matter and, if warranted, appropriate action can be
taken.
How the Company protects
against spam originating from its servers.
The Company takes several steps to protect
its online community from spam originating from its servers. To begin with, the
Company only sends e-mail communications those who have provided their e-mail
address and have indicated an interest in receiving future offers, newsletters,
promotions and other information. Next, the Company carefully guards the
information provided by its members and customers. For instance, e-mail
addresses provided to the Company are securely maintained and access to this
information is restricted. Furthermore, the Company endeavours to personalize
its e-mail communications with information that demonstrates an existing
relationship with those who receive e-mail messages from it.
The Company also does not allow any
associated website or affiliate to send offers, newsletters, promotions and
other information to those who have not requested them. Any such e-mail
communications violate this Spam Policy and the TOU.
Moreover, the Company uses specific tools to
make sure no one is signed up to a newsletter against their wishes. The Company
additionally provides opt-out or removal hyperlinks at the bottom of its
outgoing e-mail communications.
The Company takes every reported spam
incident seriously. In doing so, the Company carefully considers each reported
spam incident in view of the customer or member’s cumulative behaviour while
using the Website and its related services or features.
What happens when an
associated website or an affiliate is accused of spamming?
The Company takes the following steps if it
receives a spam complaint involving an associated website or an affiliate:
- The Company immediately checks to
see if the associated website or affiliate is receiving an inordinate
number of spam complaints, which may indicate a breakdown in the protocol
or some other procedure that requires corrective action;
- If, after reviewing the spam
complaints, the Company finds a mailing list to be compromised or
questionable, it will restrict access by the website or affiliate in
question until it is provided with an affidavit sufficiently attesting
that the website or affiliate is in compliance with the Company’s Spam
Policy and that it is not sending spam. An authorized representative of
the website or affiliate must sign the affidavit and its contents must be
approved by the Company before any services or access is reinstated; and
- The
Company will not do business with any website or affiliate that refuses to
agree to the Spam Policy, the TOU or any other agreement required by it.
Moreover, the Company reserves the right, which may be exercised in its
sole discretion, to terminate any business relationship with a website or
affiliate that violates the Spam Policy or the TOU whether or not action
is allegedly taken to remedy the circumstances giving rise to the
violation.
Why a website or an affiliate
named in a spam complaint is not simply cut-off.
Some may believe that the Company should
immediately cut-off a website or an affiliate that is named in a spam
complaint. The Company has decided against doing so. This is because the
Company believes that such action would compromise legitimate e-mail
Website-related communications and that it would be unfair to its
members/customers. A number of possible scenarios exist whereby a website or an
affiliate might be accused of sending spam e-mail communications despite having
complied with the Spam Policy and TOU. In some cases, a spam complaint might be
made by a disgruntled employee, dissatisfied customer or competitor seeking to
disrupt Website access for an ulterior, improper purpose. Moreover, in many
other cases, the Company may receive a spam complaint from someone who has
simply forgotten he or she signed up to receive e-mail communication from a
website or an affiliate.
In short, the Company must investigate,
evaluate and judge each spam complaint on its merits. The Company would not be
effectively serving its members/customers by immediately refusing to do
business with anyone before it has an opportunity to investigate and consider
the circumstances of a spam complaint.
Changes to Spam Policy.
The Company, in its sole and absolute
discretion, may change, alter, amend or modify this Spam Policy without notice

operative version on the Website. All members, customers, affiliates and others
