MailBot has a Zero Tolerance Policy Towards Spam

At MailBot, we believe that any email/sms or other solicitation must be legitimate and expected by their recipients. We are actively promoting this belief and are part of different associations spreading the same views, such as the Certified Sender Alliance (CSA) or Signal Spam.
That’s why we expect our customers to follow a few basic but mandatory rules when using our product and Services. In this regard, you must be sure to read and accept those rules before creating an account and starting using one of our Services. In any case, the following rules apply as soon as you create an account and/or start using our product and Services and shall be binding during our entire business relationship. They form an integral part of the General Conditions of Use of MailBot Services and apply to all MailBot Users.
Since a part of our Services are shared between many of our Users, such as IPs/domains for email sending, or phone numbers for SMS sending, we must ensure that nobody’s behavior or use of the Service is negatively impacting other Users. To avoid incidents on our shared infrastructure and provide a quality of Services up to our standards for all Users (whether using dedicated IP or not), we have to impose some restrictions on the usage of our platform.
As a consequence, non-compliance with our current Anti-spam Policy may result in the immediate suspension or restriction of your entire account or of certain services from your account, to prevent any damage to our reputation or to the global efficiency of our Services, in accordance with the suspension process described in our General Conditions of Use.
Consent of the recipients
As described in the introduction, at MailBot we believe that emails/SMS have to be expected by the recipients. That’s why the following rules must apply.
These rules are not exhaustive and MailBot reserves the right to suspend the Account of its Users for any behaviors that are likely to impact the efficiency of the Service:
• Bought & scraped lists are strictly prohibited
• You must have the consent of your contacts, and it must be :
o active : the contact has to check a checkbox to subscribe to your newsletter AND the registration checkbox CAN’T be pre-checked
o explicit : the contact knows which kind of messages they will receive and for what purpose
o specific: the opt-in can’t be provided via a unique checkbox used for multiple purposes (Terms of Service / Privacy Policy acceptation + newsletter registration for example).
o there must be one checkbox per data processing purpose, meaning you must ask for explicit consent for the purpose of registering an email address or a phone number in a mailing/phoning list used for commercial prospection purposes.
• Partner opt-in and co-registration must appear on the opt-in form: the name of all of the partners must be displayed (and easily available) and limited to 10
• You must be able at any time to provide a proof of opt-in for each of your contacts
• All of your marketing/bulk emails (meaning every email but the emails that are sent or triggered directly by an action of the user) must include an easily available “unsubscribe” link
• All of your marketing/bulk SMS must include a process complying with the applicable law that allows the recipients to easily stop the sending of such communication
