Definition of SPAM:
Any unsolicited advertising including, but not limited to, email, newsgroups, IRC posts or instant messaging clients. Some examples of SPAM include: Any non-verifiable non-opt-in emailing. Bulk emailing to persons listed on an email address lead list. Using 3rd party bulk email services. Posting of commercial messages in Newsgroups. Unsolicited messages through any media, including chat rooms and instant messages is considered SPAM.

Acceptable Emails
The ONLY acceptable email addresses are DOUBLE OPT-IN. A Double Opt-In email address is one where the recipient requested to be on the list and then confirmed via email that they made the request. If the email is from a party other than the party to which the recipient communicated such consent, the recipient must have been given clear and conspicuous notice at the time the consent was communicated that the recipient's email address could be transferred to such other party for the purpose of initiating commercial email messages. DO NOT send email to anyone who has not made a verifiable request for information.

No False or Misleading Header Information
Header information must be technically accurate, which includes the true and correct originating email address, domain name, or Internet Protocol address. Additionally, the 'from' line must accurately identify the person who initiated the message, and should not be false or misleading. Further, header information must identify accurately the computer used to initiate the message and must not utilize relaying or retransmitting of messages for purpose of disguising its origin.

Subject Line
Any Email promoting Our sites must have the following subject line in ASCII format:

SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT:

The exact phrase "SEXUALLY-EXPLICIT:" must be contained in capital letters as the first 18 characters at the beginning of the subject line.

Email Body (Brown Paper Wrapper)
The body of the email must not contain sexually explicit material in the "Brown Paper Wrapper" section. The "Brown Paper Wrapper" refers to the opening portion of the e-mail that is immediately visible to the recipient without scrolling. Sexually explicit material can be displayed beneath the "brown paper wrapper" area of the email message or may be accessible by clicking on a text link. Additionally, the "Brown Paper Wrapper" area must indicate that the message itself is an advertisement or solicitation, and contain an e-mail address that the recipient can reply to declining any further commercial e-mail messages from the sender (opt-out link).

Email Must Include Postal Address
A valid postal address must be displayed in the "Brown Paper Wrapper" area of the email message. You must include the following:

This offer was sent on behalf of:

Storyville District, LLC
1506 Morningside Dr #229
Houston, TX 77005

Content Restrictions (Subject Line and Body)
CAN SPAM covers both visual images and text. Subject lines must not contain text with written descriptions of sexually explicit conduct. Also the "Brown Paper Wrapper" area of the email message must not contain materials with sexually explicit conduct. Sexually explicit conduct means actual or simulated sexual intercourse (including genital-genital, oral-genital, anal-genital, or oral-anal, whether heterosexual or homosexual), bestiality, masturbation, sadistic or masochistic abuse, or explicit exhibition of the genitals or pubic area of a human being. In other words, if you even think it might not be acceptable, it probably isn't.


Opt-out Process
All email advertisements must have a functioning return email address or other Internet-based mechanism, clearly and conspicuously displayed, that a recipient may use to submit a reply email message or other form of Internet-based communication requesting not to receive future commercial email messages from that sender at the email address where the message was received. This 'Opt-out' process must remain capable / active of receiving such messages or communications for a reasonable period of time, which may be no less than 30 days after the transmission of the original message. Requests for removal must be honored immediately.

Proof of Compliance
Upon request, You must provide Us with the original IP Address and name of the recipient, physical address (if possible) and where you originally collected the Email address from. Additionally, you may be required to provide us with example copies of any emails sent, including the header information.

Violations
Violation of the CAN-SPAM ACT may lead to civil and criminal penalties. You should seek proper advice from a qualified legal specialist. Any ToysLove.com affiliate who fails to comply with any of the above rules will have their account immediately terminated in accordance with the terms and conditions and all monies earned will be lost.
