What is the CAN-SPAM Act and How Does it Affect Your Business?

The CAN-SPAM Act (Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act) establishes requirements for sending commercial e-mail.  The Act spells out penalties for any person or business that violates the law, and gives consumers the right to opt-out of any email solicitation. 

The penalties for violating the CAN-SPAM Act can be severe, ranging up to $16,000 or more per person per violation. Therefore, it is important to understand the requirements of the Act if your business uses e-mail for marketing and advertising purposes.
