Terms and Conditions 
 
ANTI SPAM POLICY 
 
Clients who send spam will find their accounts terminated immediately. We have no tolerance for spam. Any unsolicited mass email to people with whom you have no business relationship, or who have not opted-in, is spam. In order to opt-in, recipients must have requested receipt of your e-mails. 
 
DID YOU RECEIVE AN UNSOLICITED EMAIL? 
 
We do not tolerate spam in any form. We will immediately terminate the account of any customer who sends unsolicited email messages. Please report any suspected abuse to support@quantumwebengine.com. ISPs and Blacklists administrators may contact us at support@quantumwebengine.com. Please forward the complete e-mail in question, including headers. If applicable, please also unsubscribe from the newsletter using the link at the bottom of the email if you no longer wish to receive emails from the sender. We will take the appropriate action against the sender of the email in question. 
 
ARE YOU A BLACKLIST ADMINISTRATOR OR ISP THAT HAS RECEIVED A COMPLAINT? 
 
We value our relationships with leading ISPs and blacklist administrators. We take spam seriously, and strive to share current information, policies and procedures in the industry to fight spam. If you have received a complaint, or if you would like to contact us to discuss spam related issues, please e-mail support@quantumwebengine.com. 
 
FOR OUR CUSTOMERS 
 
All users of our software must agree to only sending permission-based email newsletters as part of agreeing to these Terms and Conditions upon signup. All recipients sent to must have opted-in to receive communications from you. If you have not gotten this permission, you are spamming them. 
 
Customers may opt-in by signing up on a website form, by filling out a form at the point of sale, or on a physical sign-up sheet. Opt in forms need to include information on what will be sent, and how often information will be sent. We do not permit the use of purchased lists to send emails, regardless of verification of opt-in status provided. No opt-in website form may use a pre-checked box as proof of opt-in status. Additionally, even if your contact has opted in for one list, you are not allowed to add their name to other lists. Each list requires specific opt-in permissions. Any 'unsubscribe' requests must be immediately removed from your list. The opt-in status of your recipients must be re-confirmed every six months. 
 
You may only send emails to a party that has specifically opted-in to receive content from you on that specific topic. 
 
HOW IS OUR POLICY ENFORCED? 
 
We reserves the right to review and monitor list imports. We have a no tolerance spam policy. The strict measures we take to enforce our policy include, but are not limited to: 
 
* We periodically spot check and review large list imports. 
* We have the ability to review mass emails sent out using our software. 
* A record is saved of every email that is sent through the system. 
* Any customer found to be using our software for spam will be immediately cut-off from use of the product. 
* We maintain the IP address and date subscribed for every new subscriber. 
* Every email, whether text or HTML, contains a mandatory unsubscribe/opt-out link at the bottom of the message. This unsubscribe link cannot be removed. 
 
WHAT IF WE RECEIVE A COMPLAINT? 
 
We do not condone or tolerate spam. If you spam, we will immediately terminate your account. Any unsolicited mass email to someone who has not either opted-in to your mailing, or who has no existing business relationship with you is considered spam. Our service is designed for use by organizations that have built their own list of permission-based, opt-in emails. Purchasing lists, or using any other method to harvest or collect e-mails is strictly prohibited. Failure to comply with this policy can result in fines as allowed by law. We will individually review all complaints of spam, and make a determination of whether or not the complaint is justified. We reserve the right to make the final determination, based on our best judgment, regarding the final resolution of the spam complaint. 
 
If you feel you were reported for engaging in spam by someone who has opted in to your email communications, we will make efforts to verify your claims by reviewing any opt-in paperwork or records you have, or by reviewing the IP address and date of subscription, if the complaining party has susbscribed to your newsletter through our computer software. If the subscriber opted in through some other means than our software, we will not have a record of that subscription. 
 
In any event, if you are determined to be sending spam, we will immediately disable your ability to send emails and will contact you by email. We will only reactivate your email sending privileges once all allegations of spam have been disproven.

SEO and Link Building Methodology Disclaimer 
 
Our methodology is based on Google's ranking pattern, which we have observed over several years. Since Google looks for traits of a popular site, we do our best to mimic this pattern by obtaining backlinks from IP growth over time rather than niche-specific sites. Due to our methodology, you may find links from domains which may or may not be related to your niche. We cannot guarantee all the inbound links will be niche related sites.  
 
Each client who cancels the membership is responsible for letting
Quantum Internet Systems, Inc. know whether the links should remain permanent at the time of cancellation as it is our standard practice to remove the existing links at our discretion. In some cases, the permanent links can be removed due to network re-organization or search engine algorithm changes despite the request to have the links remain permanent. Link permanency does not apply to tier 2 links as they may be resource intensive.  
 
APPLICABLE SALES TAX 
 
Developer will charge all Texas based licensees applicable sales tax on license and hosting fees.
