Zero Tolerance Spam Policy

Our web host takes a zero tolerance stance against the sending of unsolicited email. Users may not send unsolicited email which is email that is sent to recipients who have not opted-in to mailings from the user.

Users who send mass mailings must maintain complete and accurate records of all consents and opt-ins and provide such records to our web host upon request. If a user cannot provide positive and verifiable proof of such consents and opt-ins, they will consider the mass mailing to be unsolicited. Users are prohibited from operating mailing lists that do not target an audience that has voluntarily signed up for email information using an opt-in process.

Any mailing list must also allow any party on the list to remove itself automatically and permanently and be operated in accordance with any applicable law or regulation.

Email Limits

No account may send in excess of six hundred (600) emails per one (1) hour or five thousand (5000) emails per twenty-four (24) hours under any circumstances.

Data Transfer

Should an account exceed the allocated amount we reserve the right to suspend the service until the start of the next month, suspend the service until more data transfer is purchased at an additional fee or suspend the service permanently.
