SPAM and Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE): vayuhost takes a zero tolerance approach to the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or SPAM over our network. Very simply this means that customers of vayuhost may not use or permit others to use our network to transact in UCE. Customers of vayuhost may not host, or permit hosting of, sites or information that is advertised by UCE from other networks. In addition, it is not acceptable to transmit bulk email through remote SOCKS, HTTP or other similar proxies who in turn make a SMTP (TCP port 25) connection to the destination mail servers. This technique may result in account suspension or termination. Violations of this policy carry severe penalties, including termination of service. In order to prevent unnecessary blacklisting due to spam we reserve the right to occasionally sample bulk email being sent from servers.
Violation of vayuhost's SPAM policy will result in severe penalties. Upon notification of an alleged violation of our SPAM policy, vayuhost will initiate an immediate investigation (within 48 hours of notification). During the investigation, vayuhost may restrict customer access to the network to prevent further violations. If a customer is found to be in violation of our SPAM policy, vayuhost may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate customer's account. Further, vayuhost reserves the right to pursue civil remedies for any costs associated with the investigation of a substantiated policy violation. vayuhost will notify law enforcement officials if the violation is believed to be a criminal offense.
First violations of this policy will result in an "Administrative Fee" of INR 15,000.00 and your account will be reviewed for possible immediate termination. A second violation will result in an "Administrative Fee" of INR 30,000.00 and immediate termination of your account. Users who violate this policy agree that in addition to these "Administrative" penalties, they will pay "Research Fees" not to exceed INR 10,000.00 per hour that vayuhost personnel must spend to investigate the matter. PLEASE, DO NOT SPAM from your account.
As our Customers are ultimately responsible for the actions of their clients over the vayuhost network, it is advisable that Customers develop a similar, or stricter, policy for their clients.
