HostingDude Inc Spam Policy HostingDude Inc does not tolerate the transmission of spam. We monitor all traffic to and from our Web servers for indications of spamming and maintain a spam abuse compliant center to register allegations of spam abuse. Customers suspected to be using HostingDude Inc products and services for the purpose of sending spam are fully investigated. Once HostingDude Inc determines there is a problem with spam, HostingDude Inc will take the appropriate action to resolve the situation. Our spam abuse compliant center can be reached by email at abuse@secureserver.net. How We Define Spam We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications from the sender. This can include, but is not limited to, the following: Email Messages Newsgroup postings Windows system messages Pop-up messages (aka "adware" or "spyware" messages) Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo or other instant messenger programs) Online chat room advertisements Guestbook or Website Forum postings Facsimile Solicitations What We Allow and Don't Allow We will not allow our servers and services to be used for the purposes described above. In order to use our products and services, you must not only abide by all applicable laws and regulations, which include the Can-Spam Act of 2003 and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but you must also abide by HostingDude Inc 's no spam policies. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have already "opted-in" to receive messages from the sender specifically. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender's physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by HostingDude Inc , conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number. What We Do If HostingDude Inc determines that the services in question are being used in association with spam, HostingDude Inc will re-direct, suspend, or cancel any web site hosting, domain registration, email boxes or other applicable services for a period of no less than 2 days. The registrant or customer will be required to respond by email to HostingDude Inc stating that they will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on their behalf. HostingDude Inc will require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, email boxes and/or services are reactivated. In the event that HostingDude Inc determines the abuse has not stopped after services have been restored the first time, HostingDude Inc may terminate the hosting and email boxes associated with domain name in question. To Report Spam Abuse: We encourage all customers and recipients of email generated from our products and services to report suspected spam.
