We have some very strict rules that must be adhered to in all countries, but you may find that your country has additional requirements.

The person should be subscribed to your mail list through your website(s) or by any other written means, and confirmed his or her subscription by clicking the confirmation link in a received email.
1. If the email address is not subscribed with owner's permission,
2. If the email address has been rented or bought through list providers, sellers and other third parties, and
3. If the email address is gathered from the web by scanning or by other means.
1. Pornography and/or sexual abuse based content;
2. Illegal substances and alcohol selling content;
3. Hate, racist or discriminative expressions, and
4. Content that violates the FTC's CAN-SPAM law.

In addition to this, due to high spam/abuse complaint risks, we do not allow our system be used by certain verticals. If you are in one of these verticals, it does not mean that you are a spammer, but the industry you are involved with has high spam/abuse risk which may affect all our systems and other users. Therefore, we don't allow any email delivery for these and related industries:
1. Illegal goods or services, 2. Escort and dating services, 3. Pharmaceutical products, 4. Get-rich-quick or work-at-home schemes, 5. Online trading, day trading tips, or stock market related content, 6. Gambling services, products or gambling education, 7. Bet sites, 8. Multi-level marketing, 9. Affiliate marketing, 10.
