For the purposes of this Act, a commercial electronic message has an Australian link if, and only if: (a) the message originates in Australia; or (b) the individual or organisation who sent the message, or authorised the sending of the message, is: (i) an individual who is physically present in Australia when the message is sent; or (ii) an organisation whose central management and control is in Australia when the message is sent; or (c) the computer, server or device that is used to access the message is located in Australia; or (d) the relevant electronic account‑holder is: (i) an individual who is physically present in Australia when the message is accessed; or (ii) an organisation that carries on business or activities in Australia when the message is accessed; or (e) if the message cannot be delivered because the relevant electronic address does not exist—assuming that the electronic address existed, it is reasonably likely that the message would have been accessed using a computer, server or device located in Australia.
