Zero Tolerance Policy for Unsolicited E-mail/Black Listing

“Unsolicited E-mail Complaint” is an occurrence of a third-party complaint regarding a specific E-mail communication message sent by You. “Unsolicited E-mail Incident” is an occurrence of a single E-mail message which may have been sent to multiple E-mail addresses. An Incident may contain numerous Complaints. Incidents may contain Complaints received up to 24 hours after the first. After 24 hours, a new Incident will be opened.

Black Listing: “IP Black Listing” is an occurrence when a third party black listing service determines that a mxNAP issued IP address is a frequent source of Unsolicited E-mail. Black Listings result in the IP address (or multiple IP addresses in the same “IP range”) being unable to send E-mail to certain third parties.

mxNAP has designed this portion of this Agreement to comply with the United States CAN-SPAM Act (the “Act”.) The Act states that commercial E-mail must be solicited, an effective, visible and clearly defined un-subscription process be in place, that every E-mail message sent be sent from a valid address, without any form of IP or source spoofing, that every E-mail message sent contain the physical contact information of the sender, that every recipient of such E-mail messages has requested to receive such E-mails and that the messages and method in which they were sent comply with the other provisions of the United States CAN-SPAM Act.

Zero Tolerance for Black Listing: mxNAP has a Zero Tolerance policy regarding Black Listings and considers any attempt to send Unsolicited E-mail Messages or other forms of Spam E-mail (including “Spamvertising” other websites or services or products) to be violations of this Agreement. If an IP address assigned to You is found to be Black Listed, mxNAP reserves the right to discontinue your services immediately with or without warning.

Furthermore mxNAP will levy a Black Listing processing fee of $200 for the first instance of IP Black Listing and $400 for the second instance of IP Black Listing (collectively, the “Penalties”.) If your service is terminated under the Unsolicited E-mail Policy then you forfeit all fees paid, including pre-paid fees and unused time. All fees paid become non-refundable. Further, account termination does not absolve or nullify Penalty payments you may owe to mxNAP. Further, you may accumulate additional Penalties based on complaints received after your termination. This section of the Agreement will survive for a period of one year after this agreement is terminated.
