Unsolicited
E-mail Policy
Unsolicited e-mail or "spam" originating from an account
or associated with an account is not tolerated. This includes
any e-mail that promotes web sites hosted on an account but is
sent from an e-mail address not associated with that account.
Unsolicited
Electronic Mail. You are expressly prohibited from
sending unsolicited bulk mail messages ("junk
mail" or "spam"). This includes, but is not
limited to, bulk-mailing of commercial advertising,
information announcements, and political tracts. Such
material may only be sent to those who have specifically
requested it. Malicious
or threatening email is also prohibited. Although we will make
reasonable efforts to alert you to such activities and allow
you an opportunity to cure them within a 12-hour period after
discovery, we reserve the right to immediately deactivate your
use of our service if we discover such activity. Further, you
agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim
resulting from your use or distribution of electronic mail
services through the service provided through this Agreement. |
After the
first violation of this policy, we will give a warning to the
Reseller. Resellers are responsible to forward any warnings we give
concerning unsolicited e-mail to their customers that send unsolicited
e-mail. After the second violation, the account will be disabled
without warning and the account may be terminated permanently.
Resellers
should make this policy clear to their customers before they
order an account. Realize that because many Resellers have many
Virtual Subhost clients on a single account, disabling of a single
account will affect all clients on that account. Therefore, it is
imperative that Resellers make this clear and seek to enforce any
infractions to this policy immediately.
We believe
strongly in promoting "netiquette", or proper use of the
Internet. A strong anti-spamming policy will benefit both you and your
customers.
Activities
Subject to Immediate Deactivation
Any account that is used for illegal, abusive, or unethical
activity may be immediately deactivated by us without warning to
you. Illegal, abusive or unethical activities may include, but are
not limited to, pornography, obscenity, nudity,
violations of privacy, hacking, computer virus,
gambling, or promotion of gambling, and any
harassing or harmful materials or uses as determined by us.
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claim
resulting from your publications or use of illegal, abusive, or
unethical materials. Although we will make reasonable effort to
alert you to such activities and allow you an opportunity to cure
them within a 12-hour period after discovery, we are not required
to give such notice before deactivating your use of our services
if, in our discretion, your use is or results in illegal, abusive,
or unethical activities. If an account is disabled, the regular
monthly fees still apply until the account is terminated by the
Reseller.
Resellers must
keep in mind, if a Virtual Subhost client is deactivated for any
illegal, abusive, or unethical activity, all Virtual Subhost clients
that are hosted on the Server account will be affected by the
deactivation.
