Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and MikeButler.com
(Last updated January 9,
2009)
Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and
MikeButler.com is committed to permission-based email marketing
practices, and as a result has established this no-tolerance
Anti-Spam Policy. Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and

Spam is commercial email or unsolicited bulk
email, including “junk mail”, which has not been requested by
the recipient. It is intrusive and often irrelevant or
offensive, and it wastes valuable resources. Spam messages
are the opposite of permission-based email, which are normally
anticipated, personal, relevant and/or associated with a
pre-existing business or personal relationship.
Inappropriate newsgroup activities, consisting of excessive
posting of the same materials to several newsgroups, are also
deemed to be spam.
Customers of Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and
MikeButler.com products and services have agreed during their
registration process, upon accepting the Terms of Use, to comply
with this Anti-Spam Policy. Specifically, each customer
agrees not to use the Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and
MikeButler.com products or services to send unsolicited email or
bulk email, whether or not for commercial purposes. Wealth
Building 24-7 LLC and MikeButler.com reserves the right to
determine in its sole discretion what constitutes actionable
spam, as well as what measures are necessary in response to such
spam activities.

LLC and MikeButler.com Helps You to Avoid Spamming |
Wealth Building 24-7 LLC and MikeButler.com

|
Unauthorized use of a third
party’s internet domain name without the
permission of such third party, to make it
appear that the third party was the point of
origin of the email,

|
Use of any false or misleading
information in the subject line of the email, and
|
|
(d)
|
