Anti-Spam Policy

This Anti-Spam Policy applies to all messages sent or received on the Net@ddress services. Net@ddress does not provide anonymous email services. All messages are sent with the user's Internet Protocol (IP) address in the message header, which allows us to track the source of any email message sent from our services.

Net@ddress does not allow its users to be subjected to, nor does it tolerate its users sending, unsolicited bulk or unsolicited commercial email, also known as "spam". Sending spam from Net@ddress's email services is in violation of this Anti-Spam Policy and Net@ddress's Email Terms and Conditions.

Occasionally, individuals that do not have a Net@ddress email account will send spam and set the 'From' and/or 'Reply To' field in their email software to point to a Net@ddress email account, also known as "forging". The result is that it appears to the recipient that the spam is sent by a Net@ddress user, when in fact, it is not. Net@ddress investigates complaints resulting from spam sent and received on the Net@ddress services to evaluate whether the subscriber is the true sender of the message, but has limited control over forging due to the nature of the email software.

Email sent through Net@ddress's services may not:

Net@ddress may, at its sole option, deploy automatic spam filters that may temporarily block or permanently terminate email messages sent to or by its users without delivering them. Net@ddress reserves the right to take any and all legal and technical remedies to prevent users of the Net@ddress services and others from sending spam through the Net@ddress services. Any unauthorized use of the Net@ddress services in connection with the transmission of spam to or by users may result in civil and/or criminal penalties against those involved, including those provided under the USA Patriot Act, CAN SPAM Act, ICANN, Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, or any other state, federal, or other law or regulation.

If you've received an email message that you think is spam, please immediately forward a copy of the message to abuse@usa.net. Remember to leave the subject line of the message unchanged and include complete headers.

Net@ddress reserves the right to change to this Anti-Spam Policy at any time and may not notify you of such changes. If Net@ddress changes this Anti-Spam Policy, the changes will be posted on the Anti-Spam Policy link on our web site located at www.usa.net. We encourage you to check the website frequently for updates. We have zero tolerance for spam. We do not want Net@ddress users to be subjected to it, nor do we tolerate users' dispersal of it. Sending spam from a Net@ddress email site is in violation of the terms and conditions by which we operate, and subscribers found in violation of this policy may have their account terminated.

You understand that we will automatically renew your Services for additional equivalent terms as your initial subscription term (either biannual, annual or monthly) and you give us your consent to automatically charge your credit card account for each successive term unless you provide us with notice of your intent to cancel, you revoke your authorization, your Services are cancelled as provided herein, or as otherwise provided as part of any special offer.
