Intent Media Labs Private Ltd. here referred as Intent Media Labs and/or its related corporations (collectively “Intent Media Labs”)
This document sets forth the policy of Intent Media Labs and is designed to provide reasonable assurance that (i) a consistent process is followed with respect to the dissemination of commercial electronic messages to QMPL clients and prospective clients in Canada, and (ii) Intent Media Labs employees sending commercial electronic messages from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada comply with the requirements of CASL.
The Intent Media Labs Anti-Spam Policy (“Anti-Spam Policy”) and related procedures (the “CASL Procedures”) require that all QMPL employees sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada or to an electronic address that will be accessed from a computer system in Canada comply with CASL, and seeks to ensure that all CEMs sent by or on behalf of QMPL, or using a QMPL email address or using a device owned or provided by Intent Media Labs, comply with CASL.
The Anti-Spam Policy describes Intent Media Labs’s commitments relating to the provisions of CASL and electronic messages of a commercial nature sent to Intent Media Labs clients, prospective clients, and others, as applicable. From time to time, Intent Media Labs may implement additional policies, procedures and/or practices as it relates to anti-spam measures.
This Policy applies to Intent Media Labs’s employees who may be sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada or to an electronic address that will be accessed from a computer system in Canada.
With respect to Intent Media Labs’s operations, the Anti-Spam Policy has been adopted in compliance with the requirements of CASL, and QMPL is committed to complying with CASL. All other Intent Media Labs policies and procedures will be interpreted in a manner that is consistent with the Anti-Spam Policy and that promotes compliance with CASL to seek to deter damaging and deceptive forms of spam from occurring in Canada.
Intent Media Labs obtains express, opt-in consent, unless a verifiable basis for implied consent or an exception to consent exists, before sending a CEM to anyone who has not had an existing business relationship with Intent Media Labs within two years before the date on which the CEM is sent. Unless a valid documented basis for implied consent or an exception to consent exists, Intent Media Labs also obtains express, opt-in consent for the sending of CEMs to Intent Media Labs prospects.
The request for consent cannot be in an electronic message unless there exists a basis for implied consent to send the message. The request for consent must be sought separately within a communication (e.g. through a separate action such as affirmatively checking a checkbox) and cannot be bundled as a term of acceptance of an agreement. A verbal consent is acceptable where a record of the details of the consent is maintained in a database.
All CEMs are required to comply with the form and content requirements of CASL, generally described as follows:
•Identifies the sender
•The sender’s mailing address
•The sender’s telephone number or email address or link to a webpage
•An unsubscribe mechanism or withdrawal of consent from receiving CEMs from Intent Media Labs and its subsidiaries
Intent Media Labs takes steps to require that any third-party service provider who sends CEMs on behalf of Intent Media Labs complies with CASL.
A key component of complying with CASL involves maintaining records of Intent Media Labs’s relationships with clients and prospective clients.
Each business unit of Intent Media Labs is required to create and maintain in the business unit’s Client Relationship Management (CRM) system (including, but not limited to, Benchmark, Salesforce), verifiable records documenting the relationships giving rise to implied consent, and verifiable records of express, opt-in consents obtained from Intent Media Labs clients and prospective clients. “Clients” are defined as those organizations or individuals who have at least one open account or a contractual relationship with Intent Media Labs at the relevant time. Organizations or individuals who have closed their last remaining account or terminated their contract with Intent Media Labs are not considered Intent Media Labs clients for purposes of this Policy.
Implied consent or express, opt-in consent is obtained in accordance with the CASL Procedures and recorded in the applicable CRM system in order to track the client and prospect relationships.
Records of express, opt-in consent and records documenting the relationships giving rise to implied consent are retained for a minimum of three years after Intent Media Labs ceases sending CEMs to the Intent Media Labs client or prospect.
All QMPL employees sending CEMs from and/or to a computer system(s) in Canada are required to comply with this Policy and related CASL procedures and processes.

•Promotes, offers or advertises Intent Media Labs or Intent Media Labs’s products or services, or employees, or contacts
•Solicits business for Intent Media Labs or Intent Media Labs employees or contacts

CEMs that are not exempt from requirements applicable to CEMs noted above are required to include a form of unsubscribe mechanism to facilitate the withdrawal of consent or do-not-contact requests within a period of time and in a manner that would allow Intent Media Labs to process that request within 10 days of the date on which the unsubscribe, withdrawal of consent or do-not-contact request was made.
