immediate Customer notification and will be suspended from the network immediately so as to not directly affect
other Customers. No service credits will be issued for outages resulting from disconnection due directly to

damage to Customer's web site or other web sites located on the server will be charged directly to the Customer.

newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. UCE also includes e-
mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends

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 by all end Customers with non-
distribution in the future.
If your actions have caused LFMTE-Host mail servers or LFMTE-Host IP address ranges to be placed on blackhole
lists and other mail filtering software systems used by companies on the internet, you will be assessed a $500
charge to your account and $250 per hour for administrative charges incurred to remove and protect mail servers
and IP ranges.
