Certain conduct or relationships can give rise to an ‘inferred consent’. [Schedule 2 of the Spam Act] provides that consent includes consent that may reasonably be inferred from the conduct and the business and other relationships of the individual or organisation concerned.
For example, if the person has an existing business relationship with the sender and as part of that relationship has knowingly and directly provided an electronic address to the sender, then it would be reasonable to infer that the person has consented to receiving commercial electronic messages from the sender.
The following are examples where it is possible that consent may be inferred:
• in undertaking a purchase of goods or services the account-holder has provided an electronic address, except if in the circumstances a reasonable person would not expect to receive future messages. For example, if the recipient had merely provided the address for market research purposes then it would not be reasonable to infer that the person had consented to receiving commercial electronic messages from the sender;
• an electronic address is provided with the expectation (or as a requirement) that it will be used in transactions and may be used for additional communications (eg. online banking/online business);
• online registration of a product/warranty;
• the account-holder hands over a business card containing their electronic address to a commercial entity except if in the circumstances a reasonable person would not expect to receive future messages. For example, if the account-holder had provided the business card for work purposes then it would not be reasonable to infer that the person consented to receiving future commercial electronic messages from the sender which were not related to their work. For example, a public relations manager might reasonably expect to receive press releases announcing new products or promotions, but not a list of the weekly grocery specials.
In addition to inferring consent from a person’s conduct, it is possible to infer consent from the business and other relationships of the individual or organisation concerned.
The following are given by way of examples of the types of relationships from which consent may be reasonably inferred:
• the account-holder purchased goods or services which involve ongoing warranty and service provisions. For example, if a person purchased a car which has a three year warranty from a dealer, then you can reasonably infer consent to receiving associated electronic messages from the dealer relating to the ongoing warranty and service of the car;
• shareholders may reasonably infer consent to receive electronic messages from the company from which they hold shares, and the broker through whom they bought them;
• magazine/newspaper subscriber;
• subscriber to a service (including phone contracts);
• registered user of online services;
• utility/rate payers (is in a business relationship with utility company/ government body);
• subscribers to information/advisory services;
• financial members of a club;
• professional association members;
• frequent flyer/buyer club;
• bank account holder;
• superannuation subscriber
• purchasing a software license;
• employer/employee;
• business/contractor.
In addition to a pre-existing business relationship, consent may be inferred where another relationship, such as a family relationship exists. For example, if a person owns a nursery and sends an e-mail message advertising a sale of the goods at the nursery to their family and friends then, notwithstanding that a recipient may not have expressly consented to receiving such a message, consent may be reasonably inferred in this circumstance because of the relationship between the sender and the recipient.
However, consent will not always be inferred where there is a pre-existing relationship between a person and a business. For example, if a person:
• purchases a t-shirt or groceries from a shop;
• attends a concert, performance or movie;
• uses a brand of ubiquitous software;
• or makes a purchase or transaction as an anonymous entity;
then it would not be reasonable to infer that the person consented to receiving commercial electronic messages from the relevant shop or business simply because there was some pre-existing connection between the two parties.
The extent of the person’s consent will also depend on what can be reasonably inferred from the conduct and the relationship. The extent of the consent will be a question of fact to be considered according to each particular set of circumstances.
If a person can establish that the relevant electronic account-holder has consented to the sending of the message (for example through establishing a pre-existing business relationship), then he or she will not be in breach….The defendant bears the evidential burden of establishing consent.
