Spam and Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE): Arcustech has a zero tolerance policy on spam, Junk E-mail or UBE. Spam, Junk-mail and UBE are defined as: the sending of the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail messages, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. UBE also includes e-mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of Arcustech whether or not the message actually originated from our network.
Mailing Lists: Arcustech's mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists, list servs, or mailing services you may contract with. The policy is stated as follows: An acceptable mailing list will be focused at a targeted audience that has voluntarily signed up for your e-mail information or that has made their e-mail address available for distribution of information from you. The list must also allow for automatic removal of recipients with non-distribution in the future.
You may not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate, or test the vulnerability of a Arcustech system, network, or to breach Arcustech's security or authentication measures, whether by passive or intrusive techniques, without Arcustech's express written consent.
You must comply with the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group, or other forum in which you participate, such as IRC and social media (Twitter, Facebook, etc), including their rules for content and commercial postings. These groups usually prohibit the posting of off-topic commercial messages or mass postings to multiple forums.
You must comply with the rules of any other network you access or participate in using, in connection with your Arcustech services.
