Re: WC:>: Anti-spam clause in contracts

[Hugh Spell]

Better check with your ISP first. Here's a good short and sweet policy:

System Policies
Abusive Practices
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(version of Jul 3, 1996)
The transmission of unsolicited or prohibited advertising or other content through electronic mail or inappropriate Usenet postings is forbidden. The use of pair Networks, Inc for unsolicited mass mailings or postings (commonly known as "Spam[TM]") by any customer will cause that customer's services to be terminated immediately and without warning, and the customer will be held legally responsible for the damages to pair Networks, Inc, both monetary and in reputation. The use of any other service to make such a mailing or posting, with any reference to pair Networks, Inc services (including but not limited to mailboxes, autoresponders, and Web pages), shall also be grounds for account termination as described above.
(end)

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other Information

This is our first and most stringently enforced policy. The practices described here can permanently destroy an online reputation overnight, and easily taints any organization associated with the guilty party. We will not tolerate these abuses.
