How Does BGBC Protect You from SPAM?

BGBC is a permission-based email, instant message, voice broadcast, and mobile communication tool that follows strict philosophies:

• Communication - Your BGBC online sign-up page must state why you are collecting the person's contact information, how you plan to use the contact information, and must follow BGBC's Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.
• Unsubscribe - Every email and instant message sent from BGBC contains an unsubscribe link which allows contacts to opt out of future emails and instant messages and automatically updates your contact lists by removing the user. The same result is obtained if a user replies to any mobile text with the "STOP" command. Recipients of voice broadcasts can opt out of voice calling by pressing "7" to unsubscribe as well.

Take the Spam Test

If you answer YES to ANY of the questions below, you will likely be labeled a spammer. For more information, contact BGBC Customer Support.

• Are you sending to non-specific email addresses such as: sales@domain.com, business@domain.com, webmaster@domain.com, info@domain.com, or other general email addresses?
• Are you sending to email distribution lists which send indirectly to a variety of email addresses?
• Are you sending emails, instant messages, or mobile texts to anyone who has not opted in or explicitly agreed to join your distribution list?
• Are you sending solicitation message to any phone number without prior express written consent?
• Do your emails, instant messages, voice broadcasts, or mobile texts contain false or misleading information?

Privacy and Anti-SPAM Policies

BGBC has a no tolerance anti-SPAM policy. Any BGBC user found to be sending spam will be immediately cut off from use of the service and may be subject to legal action by BGBC, government authorities, or the recipients of your messages. Evading BGBC's monitoring system or the delivery of spam messages through the system is a clear and serious spam violation.

What is Spam?

Spam is any type of unsolicited messages. By sending messages to only those who have explicitly requested to receive it, you are following accepted permission-based messaging guidelines. You should not assume a preexisting relationship to be a substitute for explicit consent to send messages. For example, if your customer disclosed a mobile number in a normal course of business but did not specifically express consent to receive your message, you cannot send messages to the number. If it is discovered that you have been delivering any type of message to recipients who have not granted you consent, you will be held fully accountable for your actions. You are subject to any legal actions that result from such violations including class action suits whether you use our standard user interface or API. Please refer to the following list of resources to help combat possible spam violations:

• TCPA
• CAN-SPAM Act
• MMA
• CTIA

What constitutes consent?

The recipient of your message has been clearly and fully notified of the collection and use of his or her contact information and has consented, as required by law, prior to receiving your calls or messages.Consent can be obtained in handwritten form or via email, website form, text message, or other methods in compliance with the E-SIGN Act. You will have to obtain consent from the recipient of your messages, even if you previously had a business relationship with the recipient. You DO NOT have consent if any person purchased a product or service from you or partakes in an event, meeting, conference or general gathering. Nor do you have consent if a person "Likes" or "Follows" your business on Facebook or Twitter. If you require people to confirm that they opt in to your system but have not received a response from those people, then you DO NOT have sufficient consent and may not send messages to those individuals. Subscribers must also be aware that consent is not a condition of purchase.

• What constitutes prior express written consent? If you are sending text or voice messages for solicitation purposes, then your campaign must meet the "prior express written consent" standard. The revised TCPA rule defines" prior express written consent" as a signed written agreement that clearly and conspicuously discloses to the consumer that:
• By signing the agreement, he or she authorizes the seller to deliver telemarketing messages to a designated phone number using an automatic telephone dialing system and
• The consumer is not required to sign the agreement or agree to enter into it as a condition of purchasing any property, goods, or services. The required signature may be obtained in compliance with the E-SIGN Act, including via an e-mail, website form, text message, telephone key press, or voice recording. For more details for the revised TCPA rule,
