- GCOMPUTING, INC., ("GCOMPUTING") maintains a zero tolerance policy for
use of its network in any manner associated with the transmission,
distribution or delivery of any bulk e-mail, including unsolicited
bulk or unsolicited commercial e-mail ("SPAM"). You may not use any
our services or network to send SPAM. In addition, e-mail sent, or
caused to be sent, to or through our network 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 GCOMPUTING's terms and conditions.
- GCOMPUTING does not authorize the harvesting, mining or collection of
e-mail addresses or other information from or through its network.
GCOMPUTING does not permit or authorize others to use its network to
collect, compile or obtain any information about its customers or
subscribers, including but not limited to subscriber e-mail addresses,
which are GCOMPUTING's confidential and proprietary information. Use of
our network is also subject to our Acceptable Use Policy, Policy Statement
and Terms of Use and Notices.
- GCOMPUTING does not permit or authorize any attempt to use its network
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 GCOMPUTING product or service.
- We monitor all traffic to and from our servers. Customers suspected of
using GCOMPUTING's products and services for the purpose of sending SPAM
will be investigated. It is GCOMPUTING's policy to immediately remove
and deactivate any offending web site sending SPAM.
- Customers may be asked to produce records that verify that explicit
affirmative permission was obtained from a recipient before a mailing
was sent. GCOMPUTING may consider the lack of such proof of explicit
affirmative permission of a questionable mailing.
- Customers 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.
- Customers are prohibited from providing hosting services for websites
that have been included in SPAM. Hosting includes, but is not limited
to, hosting website(s), providing DNS services as well as website
redirect services.
- If GCOMPUTING believes that unauthorized or improper use is being made
of 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. GCOMPUTING may
immediately terminate 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.
- GCOMPUTING reserves the right to suspend and/or cancel permanently any
and all services provided to a User without any notification. 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 GCOMPUTING's sole judgment, could disrupt GCOMPUTING's
business operations, GCOMPUTING 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 email to
admin@gcomputing.com.
- Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send
e-mail to, or through, our network. Failure to enforce this policy in every
instance does not amount to a waiver of GCOMPUTING's rights.
- GCOMPUTING maintains computer equipment in Michigan (among other states),
and unauthorized use of our network will lead to use of equipment in these 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. §030,
et seq.) and other state
and federal laws.
