AFRISERVER
- A Subsidiary Of Intelsoft Limited. (AFRISERVER)
maintains a zero tolerance policy for use of its network or services in
any manner associated with the transmission, distribution or delivery
of any bulk e-mail, including unsolicited bulk or unsolicited
commercial e-mail, or the sending, assisting, or commissioning the
transmission of commercial e-mail that does not comply with the U.S.
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 ("SPAM").
It is your obligation to
ensure that e-mail sent by you, or on your behalf, does not violate
this law. We assume SPAM complaints are valid unless we are provided
with credible information to the contrary. To avoid action under our
AUP, please familiarize yourself with the CAN-SPAM Act by following
this link: http://www.ftc.gov/bcp/conline/pubs/buspubs/canspam.htm
- You
may not use any of our services or network to send SPAM. In addition,
e-mail sent, or caused to be sent, to or through our network or
services may not:
- Use or contain invalid or forged headers
- Use or contain invalid or non-existent domain names
- Employ any technique to otherwise misrepresent,
hide or obscure any information in identifying the point of origin or
the transmission path
- Use other means of deceptive addressing
- Use a third party's Internet domain name, or be
relayed from or through a third party's equipment, without permission
of the third party
- Contain false or misleading information in the subject line or otherwise contain false or misleading content
- Fail to comply with additional technical standards described below
- Otherwise violate AFRISERVER's User Agreement, AUP and other Terms of Service
- AFRISERVER does not authorize the harvesting, mining or
collection of e-mail addresses or other information from or through its
network. AFRISERVER does not permit or authorize others to use its network
or services to collect, compile or obtain any information about its
Users or subscribers, including but not limited to subscriber e-mail
addresses, which are AFRISERVER's confidential and proprietary information.
Use of our network or services is also subject to our User Agreement,
AUP and other Terms of Service.
- AFRISERVER does not permit or authorize any attempt to
use its network or services in a manner that could damage, disable,
overburden or impair any aspect of any of our services, or that could
interfere with any other party's use and enjoyment of any AFRISERVER
product or service.
- We monitor for SPAM all traffic to and from our
servers. Customers suspected of using AFRISERVER's products and services
for the purpose of sending SPAM will be investigated. We assume SPAM
complaints are valid unless we are provided with credible information
to the contrary. It is AFRISERVER's policy to immediately suspend,
terminate and/or cancel any offending Web site or account sending SPAM.
- Users may be asked to produce records that verify
that explicit affirmative permission was obtained from a recipient
before a mailing was sent. AFRISERVER may consider the lack of such proof
of explicit affirmative permission of a questionable mailing.
- Users are prohibited from maintaining open mail
relays on their servers. Ignorance of the presence or operation of an
open mail relay is not and will not be considered an acceptable excuse
for its (the open mail relay) operation.
- Users are prohibited from providing services for
Web sites that have been included in SPAM, including, but not limited
to hosting Web site(s), or providing DNS services or Web site redirect
services.
- It is a violation of this Policy to commission a
third party to send e-mail that is in violation of this policy or of
applicable law, even if that third-party does not use AFRISERVER systems,
networks or resources. E-mail not in compliance with this policy -
regardless of source - which contains any reference to a Web site
hosted by us or contains any reference or link to a network or system
of AFRISERVER is prohibited.
- If AFRISERVER believes that unauthorized or
improper use is being made of our network, or any product or service,
it may, without notice, take such action as it, in its sole discretion,
deems appropriate, including blocking messages from a particular
internet domain, mail server or IP address. AFRISERVER may immediately
suspend, terminate and/or cancel any account on any product or service
which it determines, in its sole discretion, is transmitting or is
otherwise connected with any e-mail that violates this policy.
- AFRISERVER reserves the right to suspend, terminate
and/or cancel permanently any and all services provided to a User
without any notification. In addition to any and all other rights
hereunder or otherwise, if a Customer is in violation of any term or
condition of this SPAM Policy, the Acceptable Use Policy, User
Agreement or uses of our services to disrupt or, in AFRISERVER's sole
judgment, which could disrupt AFRISERVER's business operations, AFRISERVER
reserves the right to charge such Customer an administrative fee equal
to $100.00 per each piece of SPAM sent.
- To report an incidence of SPAM, please send an e-mail to abuse@afriserver.com
- Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any
right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, our network or
services. Failure to enforce this policy in every instance does not
amount to a waiver of AFRISERVER's rights.
- AFRISERVER maintains computer equipment in several
states, and unauthorized use of our network will lead to use of
equipment in such states. Unauthorized use of our network in connection
with the transmission of unsolicited e-mail, including the transmission
of e-mail in violation of this policy, may result in civil and criminal
penalties against the sender and those assisting the sender, including
those provided by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. §1030, et
seq.) and other state and federal laws.
