Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over Datanetix network, and shall be liable for illegal material posted by their clients.

 

According to the Child Protection Act, child pornography includes photographs, films, video, or any other type of visual presentation that shows a person who is or is depicted as being under the age of eighteen years and is engaged in or is depicted as engaged in explicit sexual activity, or the dominant characteristic of which is the depiction, for a sexual purpose, of a sexual organ or the anal region of a person under the age of eighteen years or any written material or visual representation that advocates or counsels sexual activity with a person under the age of eighteen years.

We take seriously our role in protecting our customers and the general public from nuisances such as “spam.” This section describes our NO-SPAM Policy.

                7.4.         To report any spam you receive that identifies itself as coming from the datanetix.com servers or claims to be related to Datanetix in any way, please send an e-mail message to us at cs@datanetix.com. In your message to us, please include a complete and accurate copy of the message that you consider to be spam, along with full message headers and routing information for e-mail, a message board provided by a Web site or an online service, Usenet, interactive chat message, or instant message service, as the case may be.

                                 

                7.5.         Definition of Spam.

                                 

               

 

Unsolicited commercial e-mail and electronic messages are colloquially referred to as “spam.” Other common names for spam include “spam e-mail,” “junk e-mail,” “bulk e-mail,” “direct e-mail,” and “mass e-mail.” Spam is the electronic equivalent of the direct mail you receive in your postal mailbox frequently.

 

In its most general terms, and as used in this NO-SPAM Policy (the “Policy”), spam is:

                                 

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message, including, but not limited to, messages that are:

                                •              posted to an electronic mailing list (other than an “opt-in” e-mail list as described below),

                                •              posted on an online bulletin board system or Web-based message board system or “guest book”,

                                •              posted to a Usenet newsgroup,

                                •              posted to the common area of an online community, group, or club,

                                •              posted in a chat room,

                                •              posted in a message board of a commercial online service (such as America Online),

                                •              posted to a Weblog (“blog”),

                                •              sent via an instant message system (such as ICQ, Yahoo! Pager, Yahoo! Instant Messenger, or AOL Instant Messenger),

                                •              sent through e-mail or another Internet means of communication when the message’s ultimate destination is a facsimile (“fax”) machine, cellular or wireless telephone, or wireless device,

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that is addressed to one or more recipients with whom you do not have an preexisting business or personal relationship,

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that is sent to a mailing list of addresses that you purchased or that were otherwise distributed, or any list of e-mail addresses whose owners did not sign up for your specific mailing list, including without limitation lists commonly known as “affiliate lists,”

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that is not sent at the request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient(s),

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that is sent to a recipient who has opted out of receiving further commercial electronic messages from you, or

                •              a commercial e-mail message or other electronic message that contains forged headers, compromised mail server relays, or false contact information.

                                 

                For purposes of this Policy, spam also includes any e-mail or other electronic message that is sent in violation of any applicable Federal, state, or local law regulating unsolicited commercial e-mail, unsolicited fax transmissions, or any other type of unsolicited commercial electronic message, regardless of whether that message fits the definition of “spam” provided above.

                                 

                7.6.         “Opt-in” E-mail Lists.

                                 

                Please note: messages sent to “opt-in” e-mail lists are not spam, for purposes of this Policy, provided that those messages meet all of the following criteria:

                                 

                •              the messages are sent to an “opt-in” e-mail list in which ALL subscribers have VOLUNTARILY agreed to receive announcements and advertisements about products and services;

                •              the messages STRICTLY COMPLY with ALL the requirements and regulations of the “opt-in” e-mail list; and

                •              upon request of any subscriber to the “opt-in” e-mail list, you immediately stop sending that subscriber any e-mail regarding your products and services.

                                 

               

 

If you choose to use an “opt-in” e-mail list, please be aware that Datanetix will consider ANY violation of the requirements or regulations of such any third party provider of software or services for such a list to be a violation of this NO SPAM Policy.

 

Furthermore, Datanetix reserves the right to prohibit “opt-in” e-mail lists in the future if such a prohibition is reasonably necessary to keep its hosting service operating efficiently for all users.

                                 

                7.7.         Zero Tolerance for Spam.

                                 

               

 

Datanetix will not tolerate any spamming by any of its Customers. This prohibition of spam extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of Datanetix’s services whether or not the message actually originated from our network.

 

Violation of this NO-SPAM policy will result in Datanetix taking one or more of the following actions:

 

A warning via e-mail or telephone,

 

Removal of DNS for the advertised/originating site, or

 

Temporarily blocking outgoing mail from your site.

 

Repeated violation of this NO-SPAM policy will result in immediate disconnection of service with no re-activation.

 

Datanetix reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk e-mail or other unauthorized e-mail from being sent from or transmitted through the Datanetix Network.

 

PLEASE NOTE: The transmission of spam, including the transmission of counterfeit e-mail, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender, under various federal, state, and local laws and regulations, including the federal CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

                                 

                7.8          Indemnification of Datanetix.

                                 

                You agree to defend, hold harmless, and indemnify Datanetix from any harm or damages whatsoever resulting directly or indirectly from your engaging in any spamming practices or from your violation of any of the terms of this NO SPAM Policy.

                                 

8. No Editing, Censoring, or Control of Communications; Reservation of Rights.

                                 

Your participation in online communication or use of any Datanetix service is not edited, censored, or otherwise controlled by Datanetix. However, Datanetix reserves the right to monitor content on this site and on any Datanetix servers, networks, or systems and to remove content, disable sites, or suspend or terminate services if Datanetix, in its sole discretion, determines such content or user practices are harmful, offensive, or otherwise in violation of this Acceptable Use Policy.

                                 

9. Export Control Laws.

                                 

 

Exporting encryption software over the Internet from the United States of America to countries other than the United States of America and Canada violates United States law, unless you have a license to do so from the Bureau of Industry and Security in the United States Department of Commerce. You are solely responsible for determining whether any of your software or other information contains encryption software and whether you require a license to export your software or information. You are also solely responsible for complying with all applicable laws governing the export of encryption products. For additional information, you may wish to visit the Bureau of Industry and Security’s Web site at:
