3.3 Outreach Content Standards
All outreach sent through the platform must:
- Accurately identify the Client’s company name and the nature of the offer
- Include the Client’s valid physical business address
- Include a functioning opt-out/unsubscribe mechanism in every email (automatically provided by the platform)
- Comply with applicable laws in both the sender’s and the recipient’s jurisdiction
- Not make false or misleading claims about the Client’s products, services, or identity
3.4 Jurisdiction-Specific Compliance
| Jurisdiction | Applicable Law | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|
| UAE | PDPL (Fed. Decree-Law 45/2021) | Legitimate interest basis; opt-out mandatory |
| United States | CAN-SPAM Act | Physical address + opt-out in every email |
| Canada | CASL | Implied consent for B2B; unsubscribe mandatory |
| European Union | GDPR Art. 6(1)(f) | Legitimate interest; easy opt-out; DPA required |
| United Kingdom | UK GDPR / PECR | Same as EU GDPR post-Brexit |
Clients are solely responsible for ensuring their campaigns comply with laws applicable in the recipient’s jurisdiction. ApexReach does not warrant jurisdiction-specific compliance of Client campaigns. See our Anti-Spam Compliance statement for our approach.
3.5 Enforcement
| Severity | Examples | Consequence |
|---|---|---|
| Minor / First Offence | Incomplete sender address, minor content issue | Written warning; campaign paused pending correction |
| Repeated / Moderate | Ignoring warning, re-adding opted-out contacts | Suspension 7–30 days; no credit for downtime |
| Serious / Wilful | Deliberate spam, data scraping, fraudulent ICP | Immediate termination; no refund |
| Criminal / Illegal | Phishing, fraud, illegal products | Termination + referral to UAE authorities |
