ACCEPTABLE USE POLICY REGARDING BULK E-MAILINGS

We do allow Webmasters to market websites promoted through this Program through the transmission of bulk e-mails, however, it is extremely important that any such mass e-mailings by you conform to our policies. Moreover, you need to be aware of the fact that many service providers, such as America Online, Inc. (AOL), have their own standards and policies when it comes to mass mailings to their members. By way of example, please familiarize yourself with AOL’s policy, as most mass mailings will reach at least some, and potentially many, AOL members (e.g., ——–@aol.com) http://www.aol.com/info/bulkemail.html.

The marketing of websites promoted by this Program is strictly prohibited if done through the transmission of unsolicited commercial email. In other words, you must have a prior business relationship with the e-mail recipient, including but not limited to having obtained their e-mail address through a verifiable opt-in procedure. We strongly encourage you to maintain electronic records of the manner in which you obtain e-mail addresses for use in mailings. This is because, if we receive a complaint from a person who received a promotional e-mailing from you, you will need to demonstrate to us that such person did not receive unsolicited commercial e-mail from you. We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting e-mail that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing (“counterfeit e-mail”). Do NOT do this. We also strictly prohibit you from transmitting e-mail that is relayed from any third party’s mail servers without the permission of that third party, or which employs similar techniques to hide or obscure the source of the e-mail. Do NOT do this. The transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender under applicable federal and/or state law. We do NOT authorize the harvesting or collection of screen names from any ISP service (for example, AOL) for the purpose of sending unsolicited e-mail, and will terminate without pay any webmaster determined to have transmitted bulk emails advertising any websites marketed through this Program to lists gathered by such methods. Should we determine, in our sole discretion that you have violated this AUP, be assured that you will be terminated immediately, will be ineligible to sign up for another account, will not be paid for any traffic or subscriptions generated prior to the date of termination; and your registration information may be turned over to complaining parties (including AOL).

HOW TO REPORT UNSOLICITED COMMERCIAL E-MAIL

If you believe you are the recipient of unsolicited bulk e-mail from a person or company advertising websites under this Program, please follow this procedure:

Please send your UCE complaint to COMPANY through our customer service system. The best and easiest way to do this is by forwarding the offending e-mail to abuse@asn.net. If you cannot forward the UCE, simply send an e-mail to abuse@asn.net. In either case, please include your name, address, telephone number and any information you may have about the identity of the person or entity that sent the UCE to you. You may be able to collect information about the sender from the e-mail itself, for instance, by examining the e-mails “header,” by examining the web page or by running a whois query against the web page domain.

You will be solely responsible for the development, operation and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site. You are not COMPANY’s agent, and we shall have no responsibility for the development, operation and maintenance of your site and for all materials that appear on your site.
