REW Email System Policy

Summary:

In order to protect ourselves, our clients, and the affiliated public, Real Estate Webmasters has created the following policy guidelines.

These rules are designed to maintain the reputation of Real Estate Webmasters and its associates, as well as the general public. These regulations are also designed and communicated in an attempt to prohibit disciplinary action on the part of internet authorities against REW and our associated persons/organizations.

These prohibited actions are in addition to, and inclusive of, those already prohibited by Real Estate Webmasters's terms of service – available here.

Double Opt-In

If you are sending mass email via Real Estate Webmasters IPs, you need to use double opt-in for email addresses hosted by AOL, Hotmail, or Yahoo. This is to ensure we comply with the Best Practices for mass mailers documented by these third parties.

Security:

You are required to notify Real Estate Webmasters of any breach in the security of our services – included but not limited to the unauthorized use of your account and related information and/or password.

 

Real Estate Webmasters retains the right to terminate any account or activity deemed unlawful, inappropriate, or otherwise in violation of our policy, regulations, and/or terms of service. Those found in violation of any breach are liable for disciplinary action that may result in legal prosecution.
