## FAQ

### What must a marketing email footer include?

In the US, a clear way to opt out that you honor within 10 business days and a valid physical postal address. Gmail also requires bulk senders to show a visible unsubscribe link and support one-click unsubscribe.

### Does Tellnod add the footer for me?

Yes. Every Tellnod campaign gets an unsubscribe link, one-click unsubscribe headers, a preferences link and your postal address automatically.

### Is this legal advice?

No. It is a quick pattern check. Rules differ by country; check the laws that apply to you.
