You shall not use the Web Hosting Service in order to send, facilitate or promote sending of spam.

Spam includes but is not limited to the sending of unsolicited E-mail, instant messaging and other communication to a group of people. Variations on this practice include off topic (and usually promotional) messages on bulletin boards, blogs, guestbooks, message forums, Usenet newsgroups and chat rooms.

Spam is strictly against Our Terms & Conditions, and shall result in the immediate disablement of all Service(s) without refund for any and all customers who are found to have used spam in conjunction with Services provided by Us.

The following policy dictates in specific terms what is considered by Us to be acceptable use of bulk E-mail/messaging. Only being CAN-SPAM compliant is not adequate.

SUBSCRIPTIONS
1. Mailing list subscribers must specifically opt-into the list they are subscribed to. This applies to both new subscriptions and the bulk addition of addresses already subscribed via other means. Confirmation is handled using a single confirmation message sent to the subscriber's E-mail address. This mailing must contain a URL to the site's privacy policy, a brief description of the mailing list, and a URL that the user must follow to confirm the subscription.
2. Mailing list subscriber information must include the date and time that the subscription was confirmed, as well as the IP address of the subscriber at the time of the subscription. The user must be able to present this information at Our request.
3. The nature of E-mail address use must be fully disclosed, either on the page the subscription is made from or with a prominent link to the site's Privacy Policy. It must be made reasonably clear how a user's E-mail address shall be used and in what circumstances it shall be shared.
4. Lists cannot be procured from outside parties unless the E-mail sender has procured a list from an organisation that sells or otherwise shares E-mail distribution lists, and all of the following conditions are met:
A. The selling organisation maintains a publicly viewable privacy policy disclosing that such sales may occur.
B. The privacy policy is prominently linked to from the page the subscriber signed up from.
C. The privacy policy has not changed substantially since the user signed up.
D. Records are kept of the date, time, IP address, and form location where the subscribing user signed up from.
E. Lists procured from outside parties must have been consistently handled in a manner comparable to Our policies.
F. Users cannot populate lists with addresses obtained for a substantially different purpose than was originally disclosed to the user.
G. All subscriptions must be re-confirmed in the manner described in Subscriptions (Policy Rule 1) before being sent bulk E-mail messages.

MAILING PRACTICES
5. Users must not modify the headers of any message in such a way that purposefully obfuscates the origin of the message.
6. Undeliverable addresses must be removed from all future mailings after no more than 5 bounces.
7. Users are responsible for the practices of any affiliate program members they solicit the help of, as if they were hiring an outside advertising agency.
8. Users using either outside advertising companies or 3rd party mailing programs must abide by the same policies and practices as those using Our own bulk mailing list tools.
9. All mailings must provide clear and simple to follow instructions for opting-out of future mailings, and all reasonable attempts must be made to facilitate the removal of a mailing list subscriber at their request.
10. You are advised and acknowledge that Our electronic mail Service equipment is located in California. In no event shall You use the equipment in violation of California's anti-spam laws including California Business & Professions Code sections 17538.4 and 17538.45, or in violation of anti-spam laws anywhere else in the world.

SPAMWARE
11. It is strictly prohibited in conjunction with Your Web Hosting account to sell software designed specifically to facilitate the practice of spamming.

OTHER
12. Predominately promotional messages must not be posted to bulletin boards, discussion forums, guestbooks, Usenet newsgroups, or any other similar Service unless the operator of that Service explicitly allows such messages. In the case of Usenet newsgroups, such messages must be specifically allowed in that group's charter.
13. Neither third party Services nor third party Servers shall be used in promotion of any Web Page or any Web Site or any Domain Name hosted or provided by Us.

DISABLEMENT
14. We reserve the right to disable any account at any time should We feel there is a reasonable suspicion that it is being used in conjunction with the practice of spamming.
15. You must substantially address all spam related inquiries by Us within 72 hours. Failure to respond within a reasonable period of time may result in the disablement of Your account.

If you are in doubt or have any questions regarding this policy, or regarding the proper way to use bulk E-mail, please contact us in advance for more information.
