If a response is not received from web site owner within 24 hours, or unsolicited email continues to be sent from account, the account may be closed.
-
Opt-in mailing lists. The verified opt-in mailing list is the industry standard method for sending legitimate email broadcasts.
Definition:
An opt-in mailing list "must receive confirmation" from the email address respectively before the address can be added to a broadcast list.
Mailing lists without confirmation are in violation of these policies.
For example, email confirmation, or confirmation via a web page before the address is added to the mailing list is a common form of confirmation.
4. TVCNet abides by the same editorial and advertising standards followed by major U.S. magazines and general publications.
