Spamming is defined as the sending of unsolicited commercial email, unsolicited bulk email or unsolicited facsimile transmissions. These are transmissions that are sent to recipients as, e.g. an advertisement, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent or "opt-in" to receive them from the sender. If You send such unsolicited email to recipients who have not requested to receive it, Your email transmission may be considered to be spam.
Speednames has a no-tolerance spam policy. In the event Speednames discovers You are sending high volumes of emails and considers, exercising its sole discretion, that You are using the Email Services in order to send spam, We reserve the right to either suspend Your email account and Your use of the Email Services, redirect Your homepage or implement technical mechanisms until corrective measures are taken or Your email account is cancelled.
For individuals who have been recipients of spam, please report any suspected abuse to support@speednames.uk. If applicable, please also unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link at the bottom of the email if you no longer wish to receive emails from the sender. We will take the appropriate action against the sender of the email in question.
Although Speednames has no obligation to monitor Your use of the Email Services or the content provided by You as part of Your use of the Email Services, Speednames may do so and may block any email messages, remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Email Services that Speednames, in its sole discretion, believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of this Agreement, including this Policy.

Email and facsimile commercial transmissions sent using Our Email Services must include the following:
1. Each message that is sent using the Email Service must contain a conspicuous and simple, (e.g. one-click, opt-out method) "unsubscribe" link that allows recipients to remove themselves from Your mailing list or "opt-out" of receiving further communications from You. You agree that You will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable the unsubscribe link.
2. You acknowledge that You are responsible for maintaining and honouring the list of unsubscribe requests and taking action on each request within 10 days of being notified of any request for removal or opt-out and the opt-out mechanism must be active for at least 30 days from receipt.
3. You acknowledge and agree that You are the sole or designated "sender" of any message sent by You using the Email Services.
4. You agree that the "from" line of any message sent by You using the Email Services will accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify Your organization, Your product or Your service.

3. failing to honour opt-out requests within 10 days of Your receiving such notice;
