This is very important information. Any SPAM complaint regarding a eSuga.com Affiliate is grounds for us to terminate your promotion account, without payment. Be certain to contact ONLY email recipients from whom you gathered their email through a verifiable opt-in procedure.

If you promote our products through email, you have to be familiar with the policies of the different email service providers, as such policies may differ from what is requested in the CAN-SPAM act and you must respect their policies as a failure to do so may also result in the termination of your account. For example, AOL's policy can be found at http://postmaster.info.aol.com/guidelines/bulk_email.html and MSN's policy can be found at http://privacy.msn.com/anti-spam/.
