Anti-Spam Policy
This Anti-Spam Policy applies to all messages sent or received on the Farmers Insurance services. Farmers Insurance does not provide anonymous email services. All messages are sent with the user's Internet Protocol (IP) address in the message header, which allows us to track the source of any email message sent from our services.
Farmers Insurance does not allow its users to be subjected to, nor does it tolerate its users sending, unsolicited bulk or unsolicited commercial email, also known as "spam". Sending spam from Farmers Insurance's email services is in violation of this Anti-Spam Policy and Farmers Insurance's Email Terms and Conditions.
Occasionally, individuals that do not have a Farmers Insurance email account will send spam and set the 'From' and/or 'Reply To' field in their email software to point to a Farmers Insurance email account, also known as "forging". The result is that it appears to the recipient that the spam is sent by a Farmers Insurance user, when in fact, it is not. Farmers Insurance investigates complaints resulting from spam sent and received on the Farmers Insurance services to evaluate whether the subscriber is the true sender of the message, but has limited control over forging due to the nature of the email software.
Email sent through Farmers Insurance's services may not:
- Use or contain invalid or forged headers;
- Contain false or misleading information in the subject line or otherwise contain false or misleading content;
- Use other types of deceptive addressing;
- Use or contain invalid or nonexistent domain names;
- Infringe on any third party's intellectual property or proprietary rights;
- Damage, disable, overburden or impair the Farmers Insurance services or any other party's use of the Farmers Insurance services;
- Send email to recipients who have requested to be removed from a mailing list;
- Be used to harvest, mine or collect email addresses or other information, including user or customer information, from or through the Farmers Insurance services;
- Interfere with any other party's use of the Farmers Insurance services;
- Utilize any technique to misrepresent, hide or obscure any information in identifying the IP address, point of origin or transmission path of a message;
- Use a third party's domain name, or be relayed from or through a third party's equipment, without the express permission of the third party;
- Otherwise violate the Farmers Insurance Email Terms and Conditions; or
- Violate any applicable federal, state, administrative, or any other, law or regulation.
Farmers Insurance may, at its sole option, deploy automatic spam filters that may temporarily block or permanently terminate email messages sent to or by its users without delivering them. Farmers Insurance reserves the right to take any and all legal and technical remedies to prevent users of the Farmers Insurance services and others from sending spam through the Farmers Insurance services. Any unauthorized use of the Farmers Insurance services in connection with the transmission of spam to or by users may result in civil and/or criminal penalties against those involved, including those provided under the USA Patriot Act, CAN SPAM Act, ICANN, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or any other state, federal, or other law or regulation.
If you've received an email message that you think is spam, please immediately forward a copy of the message to abuse@usa.net. Remember to leave the subject line of the message unchanged and include complete headers.
Farmers Insurance reserves the right to change to this Anti-Spam Policy at any time and may not notify you of such changes. If Farmers Insurance changes this Anti-Spam Policy, the changes will be posted on the Anti-Spam Policy link on our web site located at www.usa.net. We encourage you to check the website frequently for updates.
We have zero tolerance for spam. We do not want Farmers Insurance users to be subjected to it, nor do we tolerate users' dispersal of it. Sending spam from a Farmers Insurance email site is in violation of the terms and conditions by which we operate, and subscribers found in violation of this policy may have their account terminated.
