DEFINITIONS 

For the purpose of this Order, the following definitions apply: 

A. “Clear(ly) and Conspicuous(ly)” means that a required disclosure is 

difficult to miss (i.e., easily noticeable) and easily understandable by ordinary 

consumers, including in all of the following ways:

disclosure must be made through the same means through 

which the communication is presented. In any communication

communication even if the representation requiring the 

disclosure is made in only one means.

any accompanying text or other visual elements so that it is 

easily noticed, read, and understood. 

3) An audible disclosure, including by telephone or streaming 

video, must be delivered in a volume, speed, and cadence 

sufficient for ordinary consumers to easily hear and understand 

it. 

4) In any communication using an interactive electronic medium,

unavoidable. 

5) The disclosure must use diction and syntax understandable to 

ordinary consumers and must appear in each language in which 

the representation that requires the disclosure appears. 

6) The disclosure must comply with these requirements in each 

medium through which it is received, including all electronic 

devices and face-to-face communications. 

7) The disclosure must not be contradicted or mitigated by, or 

inconsistent with, anything else in the communication.

audience, such as children, the elderly, or the terminally ill, 

“ordinary consumers” includes reasonable members of that 

group.

Message the primary purpose of which is the commercial advertisement or

PUBLIC LAW 108-187-DEC. 16, 2003 117 STAT. 2699 

Public Law 108-187 

108th Congress 

An Act 

To regulate interstate commerce by imposing limitations and penalties on the transmission of unsolicited commercial electronic mail via the Internet. 

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of 

the United States of America in Congress assembled, 

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 

This Act may be cited as the "Controlling the Assault of NonSolicited Pornography and Marketing Act of 2003", or the "CANSPAM Act of2003". 

SEC. 2. CONGRESSIONAL FINDINGS AND POLICY. 

(a) FINDINGS.-The Congress finds the following: 

(1) Electronic mail has become an extremely important 

and popular means of communication, relied on by millions 

of Americans on a daily basis for personal and commercial 

purposes. Its low cost and global reach make it extremely 

convenient and efficient, and offer unique opportunities for 

the development and growth of frictionless commerce. 

(2) The convenience and efficiency of electronic mail are 

threatened by the extremely rapid growth in the volume of 

unsolicited commercial electronic mail. Unsolicited commercial 

electronic mail is currently estimated to account for over half 

of all electronic mail traffic, up from an estimated 7 percent 

in 2001, and the volume continues to rise. Most of these messages are fraudulent or deceptive in one or more respects. 

(3) The receipt of unsolicited commercial electronic mail 

may result in costs to recipients who cannot refuse to accept 

such mail and who incur costs for the storage of such mail, 

or for the time spent accessing, reviewing, and discarding such 

mail, or for both. 

(4) The receipt of a large number of unwanted messages 

also decreases the convenience of electronic mail and creates 

a risk that wanted electronic mail messages, both commercial 

and noncommercial, will be lost, overlooked, or discarded amidst 

the larger volume of unwanted messages, thus reducing the 

reliability and usefulness of electronic mail to the recipient. 

(5) Some commercial electronic mail contains material that 

many recipients may consider vulgar or pornographic in nature. 

(6) The growth in unsolicited commercial electronic mail 

imposes significant monetary costs on providers of Internet 

access services, businesses, and educational and nonprofit 

institutions that carry and receive such mail, as there is a 

finite volume of mail that such providers, businesses, and
