Please note that, in accordance with our Terms of Use, we may change this policy at any time. It is your responsibility to keep up-to-date with and comply with this policy.

Email Requirements

The Layer has a zero-tolerance spam policy. This means that all email recipients must have opted in to, or otherwise validly consented to, receiving communications from you, the sender. Subscriber accounts may be terminated for sending unsolicited email messages.

Email messages sent in connection with The Layer marketing service must contain an "unsubscribe" link that allows subscribers to remove themselves from your email messages. You acknowledge and agree that you will not hide, disable, or remove or attempt to hide, disable, or remove the opt-out link from the email invitation. You will actively manage and process unsubscribe requests received by you directly within ten days of submission, and update your email lists and address books to reflect the unsubscribe requests.

You are responsible for ensuring that the email messages you send in connection with your marketing services do not generate a number of spam complaints or bounce rates in excess of industry, ICO or TPS (or international equivalent) standards. If we determine that your level of spam complaints or bounce rate is higher than industry standards, The Layer, at its sole discretion, has the right to suspend or terminate your use of its platform and services. If you receive low response rates, high abuse rates or high bounce rates, we may request additional information regarding your mailing lists to investigate and attempt to resolve the problem, or in some cases we may suspend or remove email privileges on your account.

Email Restrictions

Emails you send via The Layer must have a valid reply-to email address owned or managed by you.

You can only use The Layer to send emails to lists of people that gave you permission to email them. If you don't have proof that each recipient on your list opted in for your emails, don't import them into The Layer.

We prohibit the use of harvested mailing lists. The Layer will terminate accounts violating this prohibition.

We prohibit the use of third-party, purchased, or rented mailing lists unless you are able to provide proof that individuals on the list have opted-in to receiving emails of the type you will be sending them.

You must not send unsolicited mail to newsgroups, message boards, distribution lists, or email addresses.

You must not utilise The Layer’s marketing services to send any commercial electronic mail messages to any recipient who has opted out, unsubscribed, or otherwise objected to receiving such messages from you or another party on whose behalf you may be commissioned. If you intend on sending commercial emails, you should familiarise yourself with all applicable legislation, which outlines requirements under law for sending out such emails, and any other applicable anti-spam laws.

You must not use The Layer to send emails with deceptive subject lines or false or misleading header information.

You must not breach any regulation as set down by the ICO or TPS in the UK or their international equivalent.

Set forth below are the terms and conditions under which The Layer makes available its internet based platform (www.layersystems.com) (the "Site"), and the marketing services available through the Site or otherwise provided by The Layer (the "Services"), to each person or entity (including, but without limitation to, their officers, consultants and employees, for which such person or entity shall be jointly and severally responsible for) (each a "User") accessing or using the Site or the Services.

These terms and conditions, together with The Layer Master Subscription Agreement and any and all other terms, conditions, rules, policies or procedures ("Additional Terms") published on the Site from time to time and related to User's use of the Site or the Services (including, without limitation, all country-specific terms attached hereto) (together, this "Agreement"), each as updated from time to time by The Layer, constitute a binding, legal agreement between The Layer and User.

By clicking "I Agree" (or any other button indicating your acceptance of this Agreement) you hereby agree to, and are bound by, this Agreement. If you do not agree with any of the terms of this Agreement, do not click such a button or otherwise access or use this Site or the Services or any information contained on this Site.

If any modification is unacceptable to you, you shall cease using this Site and the Services and be able to terminate your registration and/or subscription (if any). If you do not cease using this Site and the Services, you will be conclusively deemed to have accepted the change.

1. Legal Status

Each User hereby warrants that if it is a corporation or other legal entity, User is validly formed and existing under the laws of its jurisdiction and has duly authorised its agent or agents to enter into this Agreement and, if an individual, User is of contractual age in his or her place of residence.
