permission to communicate with you via e-mail (as well as other communication

SPAM Policy
World
Source Center does not send unsolicited bulk e-mails to Customers under any
circumstances. On the occasion that e-mails are sent to customers it is in
direct response to the customer providing the e-mail address to World Source
Center including, but not limited to, confirmation e-mails on business listing
inquiries, opt-in newsletters, opt-in e-mail alerts, follow-up e-mails on
business listing inquiries, other follow-up communications related to the
customer's expressed interest in a business listing and other voluntary
submissions of information with the intent for World Source Center to provide a
service to the customer. World Source Center does not tolerate the transmission
of SPAM.
Reporting Unsolicited E-mail
World Source Center is a franchise organization. As such World Source Center has
a network of independently owned and operated franchise locations that operate
under the World Source Center brand name and utilize the WorldSourceCenter.com
servers for e-mail communications. Despite our concerted efforts to prevent
unsolicited (SPAM) e-mail relayed through WorldSourceCenter.com servers,
unsolicited e-mail may sometimes get through as a result of the independent
actions of the World Source Center franchisees. The corporate offices of World
Source Center NEVER send unsolicited or SPAM e-mail. We view SPAM as a serious
violation of privacy and a misuse of the Internet in general. If you receive an
unsolicited e-mail with a domain of WorldSourceCenter.com, please send it
immediately to report-spam@WorldSourceCenter.com. Upon receipt of the e-mail, we
will do our utmost to track down the offender and take any actions necessary to
stop SPAM messages.
How We Define SPAM
We define
SPAM as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial E-mail (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk
E-mail (UBE) or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is e-mail or facsimile sent
to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior
confirmed consent to receive these communications from the sender. This can
include, but is not limited to, the following:
Email Messages
Newsgroup postings
Windows system messages
Pop-up messages (aka "adware" or "spyware" messages)
Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo or other instant messenger programs)
Online chat room advertisements
Guestbook or Website Forum postings
Facsimile Solicitations
SPAM Compliance and Prevention
World Source Center asserts its compliance with the 2003 CAN-SPAM Act:
Spam Act 2003 (2)
CONSENT OF RECIPIENT
Commercial electronic messages cannot be sent unless you have the consent of the
relevant account-holder. There are two types of consent: express consent or
inferred consent.
Express Consent
Consent may be a specific request from an addressee to receive messages from
you. For example:
the addressee has subscribed to your electronic advertising mailing list;
the addressee has deliberately elected to receive messages or advertisements
from you or the addressee has specifically requested such material from you over
the telephone.
Inferred Consent Consent may be inferred by considering the conduct of the addressee and the
relationship between you and the addressee. Examples of where consent may be
inferred are:
*an addressee has provided its electronic address when purchasing goods or
services in the general expectation that there will be follow-up communications;
*on-line registration of a product or a warranty;
where an addressee has provided its address with the understanding that it would
be used in communications.
SPAM
Prevention
As an additional measure to prevent the distribution of SPAM via the
WorldSourceCenter.com e-mail servers, World Source Center utilizes a SPAM
'firewall' to scan every inbound and outbound email message that is sent and
received by the World Source Center email servers. Although no method, either
manual, procedural or systemic, is 100% effective in preventing SPAM, the
efforts and investment that World Source Center has made are evidence of our
commitment to and understanding of the importance of preventing SPAM.
