For the mass email services provided directly to you by CurlingClubManager.com(the “Mass Email Service”), the following terms and conditions also apply. Your use of the Mass Email Service serves as your consent to these terms. CurlingClubManager.com may suspend or terminate your access to and use of the Mass Email Service if you do not comply with these terms.

Your use of the Mass Email Service must comply with all applicable domestic and international laws. This includes the laws applicable to you and also laws applicable to CurlingClubManager.com and all recipients to whom you intend to send emails (each a “Recipient”). Examples of applicable laws include laws relating to spam or unsolicited commercial email (hereinafter “Spam” or “UCE”), privacy, security, obscenity, defamation, intellectual property, pornography, terrorism, homeland security, gambling, child protection, and other applicable laws. It is your responsibility to know and understand the laws applicable to your use of the Mass Email Service and the emails you generate and send through the Mass Email Service. Your use of the Mass Email Service must also comply with the Privacy Notice applicable to the Mass Email Service. CurlingClubManager.com’s Privacy Notice is available here.

You are solely responsible for your products and services and any other promotion and Content contained in or referred to in your emails sent through the Mass Email Service. You agree to use the Mass Email Service in a lawful, safe, and professional manner, consistent with industry best practices, including keeping reliable records. You are solely responsible for any and all statements you make and for all user assistance, warranty and support of your products and services.

Your use of the Mass Email Service must follow all applicable guidelines established by CurlingClubManager.com. The guidelines below are examples of practices that may violate these Terms when generating or sending email or messages through the Mass Email Service:

You will not:

  1. Use the Mass Email Service in violation of CurlingClubManager.com’s Terms of Service or of any law applicable to you or your Recipients;
  2. Use the Mass Email Service to send Spam. You must ensure that all Recipients have explicitly granted permission to receive emails from you by affirmatively opting-in to receive those emails. All emails and messages sent by means of the Mass Email Service must comply with our Anti-Spam Policy, as outlined below:
    1. CurlingClubManager.com has a no tolerance Spam policy and does not knowingly do business with any user or company that participates in sending Spam/UCE. We do not sell or exchange personal information from our opt-in lists.
    2. An email is Spam if: (a) the recipient’s personal identity and context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to many other potential recipients; (b) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit and still-revocable permission for it to be sent; and (c) the transmission and reception of the message appears to give a disproportionate benefit to the sender.
    3. Spam is an issue of consent, not content. A recipient should “affirmatively opt-in,” or expressly consent to receiving the message, either in response to a clear and conspicuous request or at the recipient’s own initiative.
    4. The U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation regulates and establishes requirements for commercial messages, gives recipients the right to have you stop emailing them, and spells out tough penalties for violations. Other international regulations and laws also apply to electronic marketing, and while we cannot give legal advice, we encourage you to become familiar with these laws, especially if you live in or mail to recipients outside Canada.
    5. If you receive Spam complaints or run into compliance problems, or if CurlingClubManager.com identifies a potentially problematic contact list, we will first ask questions to try to understand your business as well as your marketing goals. If we determine that a list is not consent-based or is too old or problematic to work with, we will require that it be removed from your account. In certain instances, we may ask you to find another service provider because our goals are simply not compatible.
    6. If you feel a CurlingClubManager.com user is sending unsolicited email, you can report it to us by sending it to [email protected].
  3. Use the Mass Email Service to request, collect or send any non-public or personally identifiable information about another user or any other person without their express prior written consent (or the parent’s consent in the case of a minor), illegal information, or any other information you do not have the right to request, collect or distribute;
  4. Use the Mass Email Service to send email campaigns that link to or display pornography, other sexually explicit content, illegal goods or services, or any other Content that CurlingClubManager.com deems inappropriate;
  5. Transmit any message, information, data, text, software or image, or other Content that is not owned by you or legally licensed to you, or is unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, libelous, or otherwise objectionable which may violate another’s right of privacy or publicity;
  6. Send through the Mass Email Service any unethical, false or misleading advertising, promotions, or sales efforts and practices;
  7. Post or transmit any materials that contains a virus or corrupted data;
  8. Use purchased or rented email lists;
  9. Use third party email addresses, domain names, or mail servers without proper permission;
  10. Send emails to non-specific addresses (e.g., [email protected] or [email protected]) or distribution lists, newsgroups, publicly available press or media addresses or purchased email addresses;
  11. Send emails that result in an unacceptable number of Spam or UCE complaints (even if the emails themselves were not actually Spam or UCE);
  12. Disable or fail to include a working “unsubscribe” link in every email, which allows the Recipient/s to remove themselves from your mailing list. Each such link must remain operational for at least 60 days after the date on which you send the message, and you agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable the link;
  13. Disable or fail to comply with any request from a recipient to be removed from your mailing list within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the request. You cannot charge a fee, require the recipient to give you any personally identifiable information beyond an email address, or make the recipient take any step other than sending a reply email or visiting a single page on an Internet website as a condition for honoring an unsubscribe request. As required under the U.S. CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable laws, you acknowledge that you are responsible for maintaining and honoring the list of unsubscribe requests following termination of your CurlingClubManager.com account, for any reason whatsoever;
  14. Disguise the origin or subject matter of any email or falsify or manipulate the originating email address, subject line, headers, or transmission path information for any email. For any email or message sent by you using the Email Marketing Service, (a) the “from” line must accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify your identity or your organization’s identity; and (b) the “subject” line of your email must relate to the email’s actual content and must not contain any deceptive or misleading content regarding the overall subject matter of the email message. You agree that you are the sole or designated sender of any email you send through the Mass Email Service, pursuant to any law or act applicable to your use of the Mass Email  Service (e.g., U.S. CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation, S.C. 2010, c. 23 and Directive 2003/58/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 July 2002), and as such you are required to comply with such laws and any other laws in other jurisdictions that apply to your use of the Mass Email Service, and be responsible for any violation of any such applicable laws.
  15. Fail to include in each email your valid physical mailing address (which if you are located in the United States, may be a valid post office box meeting the registration requirements established by the United States Postal Service) or a link to that information. For Recipients based in the EU, each email must additionally include the sender’s business registration number and VAT ID or a link to that information;
  16. Include “junk mail”, “chain letters”, “pyramid schemes”, incentives (e.g., coupons, discounts, awards, or other incentives) or other material in any email that encourages a Recipient to forward the email to another recipient; and
  17. Fail to comply with export and import regulations for Canada, U.S., and other countries.

Some industries yield higher than normal abuse rates for Spam. Thus, Email Marketing Service may not be used on behalf of certain industries and senders. This includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  1. Pharmaceutical products;
  2. Work from home, make money online, “get rich schemes”, and lead generation opportunities;

  5. Nutritional, herbal and vitamin supplements;
  6. Gambling services, products, or tips;
