Security

You must take reasonable security precautions. You must protect the confidentiality of your password, and you should change your password periodically.

Bulk Commercial E-Mail

You must obtain HostLen's advance approval for any bulk commercial e-mail, which will not be given unless you are able to demonstrate all of the following to HostLen's reasonable satisfaction:

Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure;

Your procedures for soliciting consent include reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given;

You retain evidence of the recipient's consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor recipient's and HostLen's requests to produce consent evidence within 72 hours of receipt of the request.

The body of the e-mail must describe how the e-mail address was obtained, for example, "You opted in to receive this e-mail promotion from our Web site or from one of our partner sites," and information on how to request evidence of the consent, for example, "If you would like to learn more about how we received your e-mail address please contact us at abuse@**yourdomain.com**".

You have procedures in place that allow a recipient to easily revoke their consent – such as a link in the body of the e-mail, or instructions to reply with the word "Remove" in the subject line. Revocations of consent are honored within 72 hours, and you notify recipients that their revocation of their consent will be honored in 72 hours;

You must post an abuse@**yourdoman.co**m e-mail address on the first page of any Web site associated with the e-mail, you must register that address at abuse.net, and you must promptly respond to messages sent to that address;

You must have a Privacy Policy posted for each domain associated with the mailing;

You have the means to track anonymous complaints;

You may not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner. Your e-mail must include the recipients e-mail address in the body of the message or in the "TO" line of the e-mail; and

You otherwise comply with the CAN SPAM Act and other applicable law.

These policies apply to messages sent using your HostLen service, or to messages sent from any network by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via your HostLen service. In addition, you may not use a third party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers.

HostLen may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements, including requesting opt-in information from a random sample of your list at any time.

Unsolicited E-Mail

You may not send any unsolicited e-mail, either in bulk or individually, to any person who has indicated that they do not wish to receive it.

You must comply with the rules of any other network you access or participate in using your HostLen's services. Material Protected by Copyright

You may not publish, distribute, or otherwise copy in any manner any music, software, art, or other work protected by copyright law unless:

you have been expressly authorized by the owner of the copyright for the work to copy the work in that manner;

you are otherwise permitted by established United States copyright law to copy the work in that manner.

HostLen will terminate the service of repeat copyright infringers.
