WORK WITHOUT A QUOTE
If you request mediaBoss to engage (by making contact to mediaBoss by any means – ie. phone, email, mail etc.) in work without first requesting a quote, then we will not be aware of your expectations regarding the cost of the project. If you have expectations or budgetary restrictions, you MUST request a quote first.

If a website job is in our system for more than 2 months, extra charges may apply to cover any hosting services or price rises that have occurred since the commencement of the project.

This Spam Policy pertains to all Websites owned or operated by mediaBoss (hereinafter “mediaboss.com.au “). mediaboss.com.au subscribes to a strict “No Spam” Policy as exhibited and explained by this Policy. mediaboss.com.au will not profit from, nor allow anyone else to profit from Spam of any kind. mediaboss.com.au will terminate any and all relationships with any entity producing illegal Spam, and mediaboss.com.au will cooperate with law enforcement to see to it that illegal spammers are prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

Who should read and follow this Policy:
If you have any relationship, whatsoever, to mediaboss.com.au, you must, as a condition of a continued relationship with mediaboss.com.au read and familiarize yourself with this Policy and follow it in its entirety.
The Parties addressed in this Policy are:
mediaBoss a https://www.mediaboss.com.au which may also be referred to as “mediaBoss” OR mediaboss.com.au or “We, Us, or Our.”
All Affiliates or members of the Website.
Any other Affiliate(s), employee(s), contractor(s), servant(s), or agent(s) (“Affiliate” or “you/your”), of mediaboss.com.au. The existence of one of the aforementioned relationships to us neither creates nor implies the existence of another.

II. ZERO TOLERANCE FOR UNSOLICITED E-MAIL

We consider any dissemination of unsolicited commercial email (i.e., “spam”) to be STRICTLY PROHIBITED.

Although federal law allows the dissemination of unsolicited bulk email under certain, tightly regulated conditions, we have elected to impose a stricter, total spam ban policy, for all affiliates and promoters of this website. This means that Members are prohibited from engaging in any bulk email promotions to disseminate their profiles or any other information about mediaboss.com.au, regardless of how the recipient email addresses are acquired, generated or obtained. This also means that the use of opt-in, double opt-in, or any form of email address recipient list is likewise prohibited, regardless of whether such activities are otherwise permitted by state or federal law.

We are committed to stemming the flow of Spam that is prohibited by law. However, our commitment to eliminating Spam goes much further than what the law requires. Spam, in all its forms, is annoying and burdensome, and is inconsistent with our corporate policies. Consistent with this commitment and our policies, we prohibit types of Spam that have not yet been contemplated by the law, including:

Spim or instant messenger Spam;
Spamming of internet newsgroups;
Spamming on Craigslist or other classified services, except in areas designated for such use;
use of any personal service to Spam other members;
any other method of Spamming.
In short, if you are sending a message to a recipient who does not know you, in some capacity, you may not send any information about us. If you are posting an ad somewhere that has our company information in it, that ad must be “on topic” and properly listed.

III. INDEMNIFICATION

All affiliates, agents, employees or other promoters using any form of electronic commercial mail promotion in violation of this policy agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any and all claims, charges, counts, debts, suits or other allegations arising from violations of the Act, or other applicable laws regulating the transmission of commercial email. mediaboss.com.au shall provide immediate notice of any and all such claims, however, the Site shall select its own attorneys to defend such claims, at the sole and exclusive expense of the affiliate, agent, employee or promoter responsible for the alleged violation.

IV. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

mediaboss.com.au may suspend any instance which it believes to be transmitting or is otherwise connected with any spam or other unsolicited bulk email, pending investigation/resolution in cooperation with the account holder.
