Unsolicited Communications (“Spam”)
Posting the same or similar unsolicited e-mail messages, bulk commercial advertising, or informal announcements to one or more groups (known as “Spam”) is prohibited. Spam is not only annoying to Internet users; it seriously affects the efficiency and cost-effectiveness of the ServiceHub Network. These unsolicited messages can increase costs by clogging the ServiceHub Network, rendering your web site inaccessible, and potentially leading to down time of your mission-critical Internet applications.
In addition, both Usenet and e-mail users may not:
- send or post e-mail messages which are excessive and/or intended to harass or annoy others
- continue to send e-mail to a recipient that has indicated that he/she does not wish to receive it
- send e-mail with forged TCP/IP packet header information
- intentionally omit, delete, forge, or misrepresent transmission information, including headers and return addresses
- take any other actions intended to cloak the Client’s identity or contact information
Content
Client is responsible for all its content hosted by ServiceHub. ServiceHub exercises no control over, and accepts no responsibility for, the content of the information passing through the ServiceHub Network, including content provided on any third-party web sites linked to the ServiceHub Network. Any web site links are provided as Internet navigation tools for informational purposes only and not as an endorsement by ServiceHub of the contents of such web sites. ServiceHub does not adopt, nor warrant the accuracy of, the content of any linked web site and undertakes no responsibility to update the content. Use of any information obtained via the ServiceHub Network is at Client’s own risk. ServiceHub does not screen communications and is not responsible for screening or monitoring content used by Client.
Consequences of Unacceptable Use
ServiceHub reserves the right to suspend or terminate access to the ServiceHub Network upon notice of a violation of this Policy.
Indirect or attempted violations of this Policy, and actual or attempted violations by a third-party on behalf of a Client, shall be considered violations of this Policy by such Client. Furthermore, it is a violation of this Acceptable Use Policy to use the services of another provider for the purposes of facilitating any of the activities described above if such use of another provider’s service could reasonably be expected to affect the ServiceHub Network.
