Terms Of Use

	Unsolicited Commercial E-mail & Unsolicited Bulk E-mail "SPAM" Unsolicited e-mail, including commercial advertising and informational announcements sent without the recipient either requesting such information or otherwise explicitly expressing an interest in the material, is strictly prohibited. SPAM activity that does not originate from a Hosting SuperMarket Server but attempts to direct recipients via a link or otherwise to a site on the Hosting SuperMarket network is also a violation of this Policy. Any bulk e-mail must contain instructions for the recipient to request removal from the mailing list. Links and addresses providing such a reply option must be kept current. A user shall not use another Website’s mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the Website. Since many Internet users use a dial-up connection and pay for their online time, it costs them money to receive e-mail. It should be noted that a user has not expressed an interest by the mere act of posting a news article in any particular newsgroup, or by visiting a Website, unless they have made a specific request for information to be e-mailed to them. Unauthorized use of the Hosting SuperMarket Network in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk e-mail ("SPAM"), including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender, including those provided by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.) Hosting SuperMarket's response to a first spamming offense is to either terminate the account immediately or advise and educate the Customer through an e-mail warning and/or phone call, in Hosting SuperMarket's sole discretion. A minimum $100 (One Hundred U.S. Dollars) per hour spam handling fee will be charged to Customer's account for all valid complaints, as determined by the Hosting SuperMarket Abuse Team. Complaints regarding illegal use or system or Network security issues should be sent via e-mail to support@hostingsupermarket.com Usenet Posting the same or similar message to one or more newsgroups, off-topic posting or multiple-posting, may be in violation of the newsgroup charter and is also considered by Hosting SuperMarket as internet abuse. System and Network Security Violations of system or network security are prohibited, and may result in criminal and civil liability. Examples of system or network security violations include, without limitation, the following Unauthorized access to or use of data, systems or networks, including any attempt to probe, scan or test the vulnerability of a system or network or to breach security or authentication measures without express authorization of the owner of the system or network. Unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express authorization of the owner of the system or network. Interference with Service to any user, host or network including, without limitation, electronic junk mailing, flooding, or deliberate attempts to overload a system and broadcast attacks, forging of any TCP-IP packet header or any part of the header information in an e-mail or a newsgroup posting. Forged Headers and/or Addresses Forging headers or messages means sending e-mail so that its origin appears to be another user or machine, or a nonexistent machine. It is also forgery to configure the reply to address of the e-mail without the authorization and permission of the Website. These practices are prohibited. Mail Bombing Mail bombing is the sending of multiple e-mails, or one large e-mail, with the sole intent to overload a system or to seek revenge on a fellow Internet user. It is wasteful of shared Internet resources and is of no value to the recipient. This practice is prohibited. Mailing List Subscriptions List owners are encouraged to confirm all subscription requests from the apparent subscriber before starting to send any list e-mail. List owners must ensure that unsubscribe requests are handled from people who were unaware that they had joined a mailing list. It is not acceptable to subscribe people to a list merely because he or she has visited your Website or used one of your products; the person must make an explicit request to be listed. However some reports occur because people have genuinely forgotten that he or she has made such a request. If you run a mailing list, Hosting SuperMarket strongly suggests to keep copies of administrative requests (Web logs, or e-mails including headers) so that you may demonstrate your subscription requests were genuine.
