    Definition

    We consider any unsolicited Messages, nor other unethical, illegal, punishable or otherwise fraudulent or illicit message or content as spam, regardless of it is sent in one individual message or in bulk. Ensuring the recipients’ prior written consent has been gathered is a pre-requisite condition for sending certain types of messages to your recipients. We prohibit our clients to use any third parties’ lists for messaging, regardless of the consent has been granted or not. We believe that any type of communication sent to a person about an irrelevant subject, that the person did not request, to be spam.
