When a new customer signs up with one
of the Omega Communications, Inc. represented ISP's they must agree
to our Terms of Service.
This excerpt from our Terms Of Service is the section that
covers our Anti Spam policy:
12. Member acknowledges that he/she/it is expressly prohibited
from utilizing THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's equipment, or any E-mail,
domain, IP or other electronic address THE COMPANY owns or provides
the Member, in connection with the sending of the same or substantially
similar unsolicited electronic mail message, whether commercial
or not, to a large number of E-mail or Usenet (newsgroup) recipients
(commonly know as "spamming"). This prohibition extends
to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service
which in any way implicates the use of THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's
equipment, or any E-mail, domain, IP or electronic address THE COMPANY
owns or provides the Member. A message is unsolicited if it is posted
in violation of a USENET or newsgroup charter, and/or if it is sent
to an E-mail recipient who has not requested or invited the message.
For purposes of this provision, merely making one's e-mail address
accessible to the public shall not constitute a request or invitation
to receive messages. Member specifically agrees that he/she/it will
not utilize THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's equipment, or any E-mail,
domain, IP or electronic address THE COMPANY owns or provides the
Member in connection with the transmission of the same or substantially
similar unsolicited message to 50 or more recipients or 15 or more
Usenet or newsgroups in a single day.
For each day upon which this provision (Section 12) is violated,
Member agrees to pay THE COMPANY damages to compensate for the lost
goodwill such a violation causes. THE COMPANY reserves the right
to bill the Member who violates this provision, and the Member who
violates this provision agrees to pay, the greater of $10.00 per
unsolicited E-mail and/or Usenet message sent or $1,000.00, as well
as appropriate attorneys fees. THE COMPANY, at its sole discretion,
shall determine whether a violation was unintentional or willful.
Payment by Member under this provision shall not prevent THE COMPANY
from seeking to obtain other legal remedies against Member, including
other damages or an injunction.
13. Member expressly agrees not to use THE SERVICE in a manner
that is prohibited by any law or regulation or to facilitate the
violation of any law or regulation. Member further agrees not to
use THE SERVICE in a manner that will disrupt a third parties' use
or enjoyment of THE SERVICE or other communications services and
outlets. Member acknowledges that prohibited conduct includes, but
is not limited to, use of THE SERVICE to invade the privacy of third
parties, create denial-of-service data attacks against third parties
or THE COMPANY, impersonation of THE COMPANY personnel, transmitting
via E-mail, USENET, Chat service or the Member's personal webpage
or website, abusive, profane, libelous, slanderous, threatening
or otherwise harassing material and posting material in any USENET
or newsgroups that is off-topic according to the charter or other
public statement of the USENET or newsgroups. Member also agrees
not to use THE SERVICE to solicit other Members to patronize competing
Services, not to violate or tamper with the security of THE SERVICE
or attempt to utilize another Member's account name or persona without
authorization from that Member.
