SPAM Policy

When a new customer signs up with one of the Omega Communications, Inc. represented ISP's they must agree to our Terms of Service.

This excerpt from our Terms Of Service is the section that covers our Anti Spam policy:

12. Member acknowledges that he/she/it is expressly prohibited from utilizing THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's equipment, or any E-mail, domain, IP or other electronic address THE COMPANY owns or provides the Member, in connection with the sending of the same or substantially similar unsolicited electronic mail message, whether commercial or not, to a large number of E-mail or Usenet (newsgroup) recipients (commonly know as "spamming"). This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service which in any way implicates the use of THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's equipment, or any E-mail, domain, IP or electronic address THE COMPANY owns or provides the Member. A message is unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a USENET or newsgroup charter, and/or if it is sent to an E-mail recipient who has not requested or invited the message. For purposes of this provision, merely making one's e-mail address accessible to the public shall not constitute a request or invitation to receive messages. Member specifically agrees that he/she/it will not utilize THE SERVICE, THE COMPANY's equipment, or any E-mail, domain, IP or electronic address THE COMPANY owns or provides the Member in connection with the transmission of the same or substantially similar unsolicited message to 50 or more recipients or 15 or more Usenet or newsgroups in a single day.

For each day upon which this provision (Section 12) is violated, Member agrees to pay THE COMPANY damages to compensate for the lost goodwill such a violation causes. THE COMPANY reserves the right to bill the Member who violates this provision, and the Member who violates this provision agrees to pay, the greater of $10.00 per unsolicited E-mail and/or Usenet message sent or $1,000.00, as well as appropriate attorneys fees. THE COMPANY, at its sole discretion, shall determine whether a violation was unintentional or willful. Payment by Member under this provision shall not prevent THE COMPANY from seeking to obtain other legal remedies against Member, including other damages or an injunction.

13. Member expressly agrees not to use THE SERVICE in a manner that is prohibited by any law or regulation or to facilitate the violation of any law or regulation. Member further agrees not to use THE SERVICE in a manner that will disrupt a third parties' use or enjoyment of THE SERVICE or other communications services and outlets. Member acknowledges that prohibited conduct includes, but is not limited to, use of THE SERVICE to invade the privacy of third parties, create denial-of-service data attacks against third parties or THE COMPANY, impersonation of THE COMPANY personnel, transmitting via E-mail, USENET, Chat service or the Member's personal webpage or website, abusive, profane, libelous, slanderous, threatening or otherwise harassing material and posting material in any USENET or newsgroups that is off-topic according to the charter or other public statement of the USENET or newsgroups. Member also agrees not to use THE SERVICE to solicit other Members to patronize competing Services, not to violate or tamper with the security of THE SERVICE or attempt to utilize another Member's account name or persona without authorization from that Member.
