Merchant invitation and outreach policy

• Opted-in business members and partners.
• Direct relationship-based invitations with documented express consent.
• Paid advertising and public business sign-up.
• Manually qualified outreach only where properly inferred consent and role relevance are evidenced under the Spam Act.

• Recipient, role and business relevance.
• Express or properly inferred consent, source URL, timestamp and source-page evidence.
• For a conspicuously published address, evidence that the address is relevant to the recipient's business role and that the publication contains no statement refusing commercial messages.
• Sender identity, reply route and the exact template version.
• A check against the company-wide suppression list immediately before sending.

• Accurately identifies BountyHunt and its legal operator.
• Contains valid contact information.
• Provides a clear, functional unsubscribe that remains functional for at least 30 days after sending and does not require login or extra personal information.
• Avoids misleading urgency, buyer identification and unrelated promotion.

An unsubscribe request must be honoured across email and SMS providers within five working days. Suppression records store a protected destination hash, reason and source so an address is not accidentally re-imported. The business must not be charged to unsubscribe.

Automated merchant dispatch remains locked until the Australian outreach gate is approved. Candidate tools may prepare a provisional business record, a one-time Claim link and a draft invitation, but preparation is not sending. Every send requires a valid recipient evidence record, a current suppression check and the approved delivery workflow. Purchased lists, harvested addresses and unsupported inferred consent are prohibited.
