E-Paynow.com's
eWebsite Services has strict
anti-spam policies and will not hesitate to pursue whatever
legal recourse necessary to enforce these policies. "Spam,"
or "Spamming," is herein defined as the broadcasting
of mass quantities of unsolicited Email, which is usually,
but not necessarily, sent for commercial purposes. Because
of recent increases in the practice and use of spam on the
Internet by unscrupulous individuals and organizations in
recent months, the resources of many Internet and Web related
service providers have been strained to the point where interruption
and loss of business and/or business services have resulted.
We consider the most egregious offenses of spamming
to be those involving the unauthorized use of third party
Email sending and/or relaying resources.
Authorized Use:
E-Paynow.com's
eWebsite Services Principals,
Employees, Licensees, Licensee's authorized users, or Merchants
will be afforded the privilege of unlimited relaying of Email
messages free of Email relaying charges as long as that use
of our Email sending and/or relaying resources does not constitute
spamming.
Unauthorized Use:
Spamming is an unauthorized use
of our Email sending and/or relaying resources, as well as
any use by any Entity that is not an authorized user as defined
above.
Abuse by Authorized Users:
If you are a customer of E-Paynow.com's
eWebsite Services, then you are bound by our terms of services as stated
in our contracts. If as an E-Paynow.com Service customer or authorized
user, you engage in spamming, our policy is to warn once and
then terminate. This means that you will be sent one warning
that you are in violation of our terms of services upon the
first incident of spam. Our warning may consist of temporary
deactivation of your account to get your attention.
Any subsequent spamming incident that you generate
will be grounds for immediate FINAL termination of services
regardless of whether or not you received the prior warning.
We will also take immediate action to notify the NO-SPAM
list server and which is subscribed to by most major ISP's.
We will cooperate in notifying any future ISP that
requests a move of your domain to their servers that your
are a SPAM policy violator.
You may additionally be required to pay Email Relaying
Fees.
Yes, we do have the legal right
to BLACK LIST you, so don't even think about threatening us
regarding damages... The NO-SPAM list server works much the
same way as the police department's NCIC computer to notify
other ISP's that you are a criminal. We will do our best to
see that identified SPAMMERS will have a very difficult time
opening another account with anyone.
Abuse by Unauthorized Users:
Only E-Paynow.com's eWebsite Services Principals,
Employees, Licensees, Licensee's authorized users, or Merchants
are allowed the use of our resources for the purposes of sending
and/or relaying Email messages.
Any other entity is strictly forbidden this privilege.
In the event that an unauthorized user abuses our resources
for the purposes of sending and/or relaying Email messages
without our prior written consent, E-Paynow.com's eWebsite Services, will
invoice that entity for Email Relaying Fees.
Email Relaying Fees
If you are either an authorized
or an unauthorized user of E-PAynow.com's eWebsite Services Email relaying
resources, your abuse of our relaying resources will constitute
an agreement to pay E-Paynow.com's eWebsite Services, Email Relaying Fees
for those services used.
Services used will constitute services rendered and
will be invoiced at the sum of $10 per Email message recipient.
Failure to pay these Email Relaying fees within 30
days from our invoicing will result in legal action and reporting
to Equifax or other Credit Agencies for the purposes of collecting
these fees plus any damages that E-Paynow.com's eWebsite Services, has suffered
because of any loss of business and/or business services associated
with your use of our Email sending and/or relaying.
E-Paynow.com's

the e-mail was sent and work with them in arranging the suspension
of your account.
