GAPC.net's
Unsolicited Bulk E-Mail Policy:
GAPC.net specifically does not
authorize the use of its
proprietary computers, servers,
routers and computer network
(the "GAPC.net Network") to
accept, transmit or distribute
unsolicited bulk e-mail sent
from the Internet to GAPC.net
subscribers (or to others). It
is also a violation of GAPC.net
policy, and the law, to send or
cause to be sent to, or through,
the GAPC.net Network e-mail that
makes use of or contains invalid
or forged headers, invalid or
non-existent domain names or
other means of deceptive
addressing. GAPC.net considers
such e-mail to be unlawful and a
violation of our policy, and any
attempt to send or cause such
e-mail to be sent to, or
through, the GAPC.net Network is
unauthorized. Moreover, any
e-mail relayed from a third
party's mail servers without the
permission of that third party,
or any e-mail that hides or
obscures, or attempts to hide or
obscure, the source of an e-mail
also constitutes an unauthorized
use of the GAPC.net Network.
E-mail sent or caused to be sent
to the GAPC.net Network that
violates your agreement with
GAPC.net is also unauthorized.
Nor does GAPC.net authorize the
harvesting or collection of
screen names from the GAPC.net
Online service for the purpose
of sending unsolicited e-mail.
Any such action also constitutes
violation of GAPC.net policy.
Limitations on Sending E-mail
You may send a single e-mail
message to a maximum of 25
recipients in one mailing, not
to exceed 500 recipients within
a one hour period. All single
e-mails sent to over 25
addressees will not be
delivered. No notice will be
given to you in this case.
If you send e-mails to more than
500 recipients within a one hour
period, your ability to send ANY
e-mail messages is suspended for
24 hours. You will receive a
Notice regarding this action.
GAPC.net reserves the right to
take all legal and technical
steps available to prevent
unsolicited bulk e-mail or other
unauthorized e-mail from
originating from, entering,
utilizing or remaining within
the GAPC.net Network. Such
action may include, without
limitation, the use of filters
or other network devices to scan
e-mail transmitted from or to
the GAPC.net Network, immediate
termination of GAPC.net service,
and prosecution of offenders
through criminal or civil
proceedings. Nothing in this
policy shall be construed to
grant any right to transmit or
send e-mail to, or through, the
GAPC.net Network, and in no
event shall any failure by
GAPC.net to enforce this policy
constitute a waiver of
GAPC.net's rights.
Unauthorized use of the GAPC.net
Network in connection with the
transmission of unsolicited bulk
e-mail, including the
transmission of counterfeit
e-mail, may result in civil and
criminal penalties against the
sender, including those provided
by the Computer Fraud and Abuse
Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.);
and various state laws,
including the Virginia Computer
Crimes Act (Va. Code Ann. §
18.2-152.2 et seq.) (as
amended.)
