IRS Tax Debt Settlement

IRS Tax Debt Settlement (hereafter The Company) Anti-Spam Policy

IRS Tax Debt Settlement is committed to permission-based email marketing practices, and as a result has established this no-tolerance Anti-Spam Policy. The Company will occasionally update this Anti-Spam Policy.

1. Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk email, including “junk mail”, which has not been requested by the recipient.  It is intrusive and often irrelevant or offensive, and it wastes valuable resources. Spam messages are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a pre-existing business or personal relationship. Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also deemed to be spam.

2.Preventing Spam. Accelerated Tax Solutions who uses The Company's products and services has agreed during their registration process, upon accepting the Terms of Use, to comply with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each customer agrees not to use the The Company products or services to send unsolicited email or bulk email, whether or not for commercial purposes. The Company reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable spam, as well as what measures are necessary in response to such spam activities.

3. How The Company Helps You to Avoid Spamming: The Company has developed its internet marketing tools to incorporate a strict permission-based philosophy. This anti-spam philosophy is implemented through the following:

a. Communication and Agreement – The Terms of Use that Accelerated Tax Solutions has agreed to as part of registering for the The Company's products and services state how and for what purposes they can collect site visitor contact information. They have agreed to abide by the The Company Privacy Policy and Anti-Spam Policy and all laws about spam and privacy. We can not be responsible if Accelerated Tax Solutions does not follow this policy as they have agreed to. 

b. Each email sent from The Company contains an “unsubscribe link”. You can unsubscribe at any time and you will be automatically remove form our email mailing list. If you use the link to request that you be unsubscribed, our subscriber lists will automatically be adjusted to eliminate the sending of unwanted email to you.  Additionally, each person on our subscriber list has the option of unsubscribing through a web-based method provided on the The Company web site.  If Accelerated Tax Solutions tries to remove the unsubscribe link they will be warned that they are doing so, and if they persist in having the link removed or deactivated in any way, then The Company will have the right to terminate their account.

c. Purchased Mailing Lists - We don't ever sell or give away your company information. Accelerated Tax Solutions has also agreed not to do that.  

4.Laws Restricting Spam. Spam laws vary from state to state, and from country to country. This Company's Anti-Spam Policy has been developed to conform to the highest commercially reasonable standards. As a result, and without limiting the general prohibitions against all spam activities, the following are expressly prohibited:

a. Use of false headers, or other false information, to identify the point of origin or the transmission path of the email, or to hide the true origin of the email sender,

b. Unauthorized use of a third party’s internet domain name without the permission of such third party, to make it appear that the third party was the point of origin of the email,

c. Use of any false or misleading information in the subject line of the email, and

d. Assisting any person in using the products or services of The Company for any of these previously mentioned activities. 

5. Questions to Ask Yourself

To help in establishing whether you are participating in activities constituting spam, ask yourself the following questions:

a. Are you sending email to non-specific addresses, such as info@domain.com or sales@domain.com?

b. Have you deliberately falsified your transmission path information or originating address?

c. Are you sending email to mailing lists or distribution lists, which then send indirectly to various other email addresses?

d. Have you imported for use a purchased list of any type?

e. Are you continuing to mail to anyone who has asked to be deleted from your mailing list?

f. Does your email not provide a fully functioning link to unsubscribe?

g. Does you email subject line contain false or misleading information?

h. Have you used a third party’s email address or domain name without the party’s consent?

If you answer yes to any of these questions, you are likely involved in spam activities.

6. Measures to Enforce the Anti-Spam Policy

Any of The Company's customers found to be using The Company products or services for spamming purposes may, at The Company’s discretion, be immediately cut off from use of all The Company products and services and/or fined US$ 1,000 per occurrence, with no refund of fees that have been paid.

The Company warns all of its customers when signing up that if they participate in spamming activities they will be subject to the loss of The Company's services, fines and possible legal action.
