E-mail, spam and mailing lists
"Spam" is the act of sending mass unsolicited
advertising (through any means, either e-mail, USENET,
ICQ, etc) to users that have not requested it. We do
NOT tolerate spam. The account of a customer found to
be spamming will be terminated immediately (even if
the spam did not originated from our servers but it's
about advertising a web site or service on our servers)
and will be charged a "cleanup" fee of $35.
Account termination is done only after necessary research
and after it is proved that the customer indeed originated
the spam. A violation of this policy also includes any
spam sent from outside our systems, but still mentioning
any web site within our systems.
E-mails sent to other users should be respectful and
considerate. If it is proven that e-mails originating
from a client is affecting any other Internet user/organization
in a negative way, then the client will have his/her
account terminated immediately. Mailbombing, subscribing
a user to a mailing list without his/her authorization,
the posting of outrageous messages to generate response
and/or cross posting to an excessive number of newsgroups
to bring traffic is forbidden by Web Prime, and the
general Internet population.
Mailing lists provided by web sites must all include
instructions on how a receiver can unsubscribe from
the mailing list. We also request that all mailing lists
deliveries be made between 3:00AM and 7:00AM EST, which
are non-peak usage hours.
Unlimited e-mail feature
The unlimited account features are not to be used to
provide your visitors with some kind of "free e-mail"
offer. Doing so could kill a server, as thousands of
people using e-mail at a time can crash the operating
system due to the excessive load, Plus, their e-mail
messages will take a lot of hard drive space. E-mail
accounts are only for the internal use of a web site's
staff.
WARNING
Users with excessive usage of e-mail will be monitored
and might have their e-mail restricted if the user's
usage of e-mail is harmful to the server's performance.
This includes excessive e-mail deliveries due to a site
that had web based e-mail in a previous occasion but
is no longer offering such service (e-mail addressed
to previous users will still arrive, sometimes reaching
thousands of messages per hour), a large number of undelivered
messages bouncing back to our servers as a result of
poorly maintained mailing lists/delivery lists, etc,
and any other number of reasons that cause an excessive
and harmful amount of e-mail usage.
Web Prime reserves the right to modify these policies
at any time. All clients will be notified of such changes
before they take effect.
