D. Golden & Associates, Inc Spam Policy

SPAM consists of one of three things:

1. The sending of unsolicited email - meaning that the recipient of your email hasn't specifically requested the information you are sending, and/or the recipient of your email hasn't specifically agreed to receive your email.

2. Inappropriate postings in the USENET Newsgroups - meaning that your post has nothing to do with the topic of discussion for that particular newsgroup.

3. Enrolling an individuals personal information at your D. Golden & Associates, Inc web site causing the automated marketing system to send them emails. If you are going to SPAM (as outlined above) you are not allowed to include any URL that either directly points to any D. Golden & Associates, Inc.com web page or to a page that links to any D. Golden & Associates, Inc.com web page. You are also not allowed to mention the name D. Golden & Associates, Inc in your emails.
In addition, in order to be CanSpam compliant, all email messages must include the following items:

* Your legal name or registered business name.
* A current and valid email address that you check daily by which recipients may contact you or request removal.
