Dear Signup4cash Affiliate,
Please view the court order in our case at
http://www.signup4cash.com/order.pdf
We first want to thank you for your support as an affiliate and express
our gratitude for being able to work with you. As you may have heard we
are involved in litigation with the United States Federal Trade Commission
for alleged violations of the 2004 CAN SPAM act. The complaint alleges
that we initiated spam by paying affiliates to send it.
We have linked to a copy of the court's preliminary injunction in this
matter for all of our affiliates to have a chance to read over it. There
are certain implications for our affiliates. Per the order, each of you
is ordered by the court to be CAN SPAM compliant in your email marketing
campaigns. We know that in the past a lot of you have endeavored to be
compliant with the law but there are a lot of particulars that have to be
handled properly. Please review articles 1 through 5 of the order to find
out exactly how to make sure your mail complies with the law.
Following the freeze of our assets, our affiliate databases and all the
sales and payment information on them were replicated by the FTC. We had
no control of this. There is a good chance some of affiliates will be
contacted and an inquiry might possibly be made by the FTC to determine
whether the sales you generated in 2004 were CAN SPAM compliant. Should
you continue to send your email traffic to any other sponsors we highly
encourage you to comply with every single aspect of the CAN SPAM law.
Because there are so many intricacies and details to it, you want to be
sure that you don't miss one and get in trouble when your intentions were
good. We suggest you talk to an internet lawyer to certify that your
email method is 100% in compliance.
Because of the nature of our situation at the moment we have made a
decision to not accept any mail traffic at all, regardless of whether or
not it is CAN SPAM compliant, as we wish to avoid any possible
implications. All other forms of traffic are welcomed to continue and
payment will be as usual. The Federal Trade Commission has acknowledged
that we have a legitimate affiliate program and it is not suspect. Their
only issue was with any sales that may have been generated by non-CAN SPAM
compliant mail.
If you wish to clarify that your traffic is ok, please email me at
[email protected]. Please also feel free to email me with any
particular questions you may have.
