Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that publishercan show that any such Advertiseralready provided such services to publisherprior to the dateof the first IO executed by the parties, then publishershall not be prohibited from continuing such relationship.

(6) OBLIGATIONS OF THE PUBLISHER: For email broadcasts

6.1 The publisher warrants that all email data collected for third party marketing communications has been lawfully obtained and is processed in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations.

6.2 The receiver must have the opportunity to opt out both when they first collect the details, and in every email sent.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 31 (126) Organisations must give the customer the chance to opt out - both when they first collect the details, and in every email or text. Organisations should not assume that all customers will be happy to get marketing texts or emails in future, and cannot rely on the soft opt-in rule unless they provided a clear opportunity to opt out first. (127) It must be simple to opt out. When first collecting a customer's details, this should be part of the same process (e.g. online forms should include a prominent opt-out box, and staff taking down details in person should specifically offer an opt-out).

6.3 Unless otherwise stated email from line, headers and footers must reference the original source of data capture as the sender, or reference a sender that was established at point of registration as a 3rd party. The client/advertiser must not be the only reference in the from line and must be second to sender i.e. From: XYZ list - Advertiser ABC. To comply with the below, recognition of the "Sender" is essential and required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 20 (76) PECR specifically requires that the customer has notified the sender that they consent to messages from them: On a strict interpretation, indirect consent would not meet this test - as the customer did not directly notify the sender, they notified someone else.

6.4 3rd parties that receive data for marketing purposes must have been specifically named at the original registration point. This is required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 21 (79) Indirect consent may therefore be valid if that organisation was specifically named, or if the consent described a specific category of organisations and it clearly falls within that description.

6.5 You must carry out due diligence and check that any data provided is compliant and that you can provide full information if challenged. This is required by any data controller who receives the data.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 22 (83) It is not acceptable to rely on assurances of indirect consent without undertaking proper due diligence, in order to demonstrate consent if challenged. Organisations must ensure that consent was validly obtained, that it was reasonably recent, and that it clearly extended to them or organisations fitting their description.

6.6 Information to provide for a look up to prove consent was obtained.

ICO Guide to Direct Marketing 6th September 2013. Page 24 (95) Organisations should therefore make sure that they keep clear records of exactly what someone has consented to. In particular, they should record the date of consent, the method of consent, who obtained consent, and exactly what information was provided to the person consenting.

6.7 The Publisher takes full responsibility to manage complaints, including the ICO and claims or complaints from recipients or data subjects resulting from data you have provided, used or selected for use for Monetise Media campaigns.

6.8 The publishertake full liability and shall indemnify Monetise Media and our Clients in full and on demand for any claims, damages awarded or fines from any regulatory body including the ICO, resulting from any complaint or judgement of noncompliance to PECR.

6.9 Monetise Media reserve the right to take legal action for damages, financial or to reputation, resulting from non-compliant data provided or used by partners for Monetise Media campaigns.
