Spam Policy:
| Spam Policy |
| Van Zandt Internet does not tolerate the
transmission of spam. Customers suspected to be using Van Zandt Internet
products and services for the purpose of sending spam are fully
investigated. Once Van Zandt Internet determines there is a problem with
spam, Van Zandt Internet will take the appropriate action to resolve the
situation. |
How We Define Spam |
We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited
Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited
Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an
advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed
consent to receive these communications from the sender. This can
include, but is not limited to, the following:
- Email Messages
- Newsgroup postings
- Windows system messages
- Pop-up messages (aka "adware" or "spyware" messages)
- Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo or other instant messenger
programs)
- Online chat room advertisements
- Guestbook or Website Forum postings
- Facsimile Solicitations
|
What We Allow and Don't Allow |
| We will not allow our servers and services to be
used for the purposes described above. In order to use our products and
services, you must not only abide by all applicable laws and
regulations, which include the Can-Spam Act of 2003 and the Telephone
Consumer Protection Act, but you must also abide by Van Zandt Internet's no spam policies. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes
may only be sent to recipients who have already "opted-in" to receive
messages from the sender specifically. They must include a legitimate
return address and reply-to address, the sender's physical address, and
an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by Van
Zandt Internet, conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email
address or fax number.
|
What We Do |
| If Van Zandt Internet determines that the services
in question are being used in association with spam, Van Zandt Internet
will re-direct, suspend, or cancel any web site hosting, domain
registration, email boxes or other applicable services for a period of
no less than 2 days. The registrant or customer will be required to
respond by email to Van Zandt Internet stating that they will cease to
send spam and/or have spam sent on their behalf. Van Zandt Internet will
require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site,
email boxes and/or services are reactivated. In the event that Van Zandt
Internet determines the abuse has not stopped after services have been
restored the first time, Van Zandt Internet may terminate the hosting
and/or email boxes in question. Van Zandt Internet does not issue
refunds. |
Van Zandt Internet is committed to making the Internet a safer place. |
