10   APPENDIX: SUMMARY OF CAP CODE

All marketing communications in the UK are governed by the Committee of Advertising Practice (CAP) Code which is enforced by the  Advertising  Standards  Authority, full details of which can be found at www.cap.org.uk/.

The general principles of this code are that the content of any marketing email should be legal, decent, honest, truthful, prepared with a sense of responsibility to consumers and society and in line with the principles of fair competition.

Some specific sections of the code which may be relevant to email marketing include:

• Marketers, publishers and owners of other media should ensure that marketing communications are designed and presented in such a way that it is clear  that  they  are  marketing Unsolicited e-mail marketing communications should be clearly identifiable as marketing communications without the need to open them.
• E-mail and mobile marketing communications should contain the full name and a valid address (e.g. an email address) of the marketers to which recipients can send opt-out requests.
• Before distributing or submitting a marketing communication for publication, marketers must hold documentary evidence to prove all claims, whether direct or implied, that are capable of objective substantiation. The adequacy of evidence will be judged on whether it supports both the detailed claims and the overall impression created by the marketing communication.
• Marketing communications should contain nothing that is likely to cause serious or widespread offence. Particular care should be taken to avoid causing offence on the grounds of race, religion, sex, sexual orientation or disability. Compliance with the Code will be judged on the context, medium, audience, product and prevailing standards of decency.
• E-mail and  mobile  marketing  communications should contain the full business name, registered office and Company registration number of the sender and must provide a valid mechanism for the recipients request to be unsubscribed.
