Business Email Services

Bulk Mail

You may not use the Mail Service to send Bulk Mail. "Bulk Mail" means email messages of similar content that are sent to more than two hundred and fifty (250) recipients. Attempts to circumvent this restriction by breaking up bulk email over time, using multiple accounts, or other means will be a violation of this restriction.

You may not use a third party other than an authorized WSC partner to send Bulk Mail that references a Mail Service email address or that has a Mail Service return email address.

You may not intentionally use your Mail Service for the purpose of receiving bulk email from others. For example, you may not submit any Mail Service email address to a "Safelist" or "Free for All" (FFA) list.

Mail messages sent to other users within your domain names hosted on the WSC system are not Bulk Mail.

Unsolicited Mail

You may not send unsolicited email. Email is unsolicited if you have no pre-existing relationship with the recipient, unless the recipient has published or otherwise provided or his or her email address in a manner which implies consent to receive the email.

Message Source

You may not obscure the source of your email in any manner, including by intentionally omitting, forging, or misrepresenting messages headers or return addresses.

You may not send email of any kind to a person who has indicated that they do not wish to receive it.

Security

You may not probe, scan, or test WSC's systems for vulnerabilities. You may not violate or attempt to violate WSC's security measures. You may not use WSC's services to probe, scan or test a third party's systems for vulnerabilities, or to violate or attempt to violate a third party's security measures. Examples of security violations are: (i) attempting to access data not intended for your use; (ii) attempting to log into an account that you are not authorized to access; (iii) attempting to obtain services you have not paid for (including WSC Services); (iv) attempting to discover another person's authentication information; and (v) interfering with another user's use of the Services.

You must use reasonable security precautions in connection with your use of the Services, such as a desktop virus scanner and firewall. If your Service is exploited by a third party, WSC may suspend your Services until the vulnerability is addressed. For example, WSC may suspend your Mail Service if you are distributing a virus, even if you are unaware that you are distributing a virus.

System Abuse

You may not use the Mail Services in a way that creates technical disturbances for other WSC clients or for WSC systems generally. In addition:

Email Abuse Complaints

Complaints from email recipients and third party abuse agencies (e.g. SpamHaus or Spamcop) shall be deemed proof of the facts stated therein unless you provide compelling evidence to the contrary. WSC shall have the right to terminate your Mail Service if we receive excessive or repeated complaints from your email recipients, regardless of whether you are in breach of this AUP or are otherwise at fault.

Blacklisting/Retaliation

WSC may terminate your Services if your email address or related IP number(s) is/are blacklisted by any third party, or WSC is retaliated against as a result of your email, regardless of whether you are in breach of this AUP or are otherwise at fault.

Third Party Mail Marketing

You may not use your Mail Service to send Bulk Mail (defined above) except via a mail marketing service that we have approved in advance.
