E-Mail Acceptable Use Policy
Exchanging email with other Internet users is generally a
matter of common sense and courtesy to others. The vast majority
of WebitDirect customers will be able to use their own sense of
what is appropriate to guide their behavior when sending email
and will have no problem in conforming to this AUP.
Regrettably, from time to time, some email is sent or actions
taken which are considered to be unacceptable by the Internet
community. This is usually described by the generic term of
"abuse".
Much of what is deemed to be the proper use or the abuse of
the email system cannot be found codified into a single set of
documents, but is based on contracts and understandings that
have arisen between the administrators and owners of those
computers and networks which exchange email. This AUP and its
day to day application is based on consideration of both the
formal and informal practices of this community where
WebitDirect is but one participant amongst many.
It is not always obvious whether such activity is innocent,
inadvertent, or intentional. However, certain activities will
result in action being taken by WebitDirect as described below.
It is most important that when abuse occurs WebitDirect takes
appropriate action. If abuse was to continue unchecked
WebitDirect could lose the confidence of the Internet community,
which could significantly affect the ability of WebitDirect's
customers to freely send and receive email.
WebitDirect provides email services as part of a package of
Internet services. WebitDirect reserves the right to change this
AUP for email services at its sole discretion and without prior
notice. Any decision made by WebitDirect in relation to this
service will be final on all matters.
WebitDirect will enforce appropriate sanctions against any of
its customers who are responsible for serious "abuse".
Such sanctions may include, but are not limited to, a formal
warning, suspension of email access through WebitDirect's
machines, suspension of hosting services through WebitDirect, or
termination of the customer's account's).
If a suspension of service is imposed, then this may be
lifted, at WebitDirect's discretion, upon receipt of a formal
written undertaking not to commit any future "abuse".
All cases are, however, considered individually upon their
merits.
