VI. Spam Policy.
NebuTel, Inc. encourages commercial use of the Internet
– in our eyes, the Internet and commerce go hand in hand. However, we
have a few guidelines to follow. Failure to abide to these guidelines
is grounds for cancellation of service and, in some cases, a $500 penalty
and/or reimbursement for damages.
Unsolicited Commercial Email (also called UCE, spam,
and bulk email): NebuTel, Inc. prohibits its clients from sending UCE.
UCE is defined as ANY unsolicited commercial email, and includes (but
is not limited to) email sent to lists compiled from people visiting your
Web site without giving express consent to receive product promotions,
email sent to a list purchased from an outside source, and email sent
to lists culled from news and/or Web postings.
In addition, NebuTel, Inc. clients may not hire an outside
source to promote their NebuTel, Inc.-hosted Web site via UCE. Such action
reflects on our business policies and we refuse to be in any way connected
with anyone who uses UCE.
Any verified complaints about NebuTel, Inc. customers
involved in sending, participating in, promoting, or otherwise doing business
via UCE will result in immediate cancellation of service and forfeiture
of current month's access fees. If serious damage is caused, there may
be additional penalties levied.
Newsgroup Spamming: Newsgroup spamming is posting unrelated
commercial messages to newsgroups. In other words, don’t post messages
promoting your surf shop in the vintage cars newsgroup. Verified complaints
about NebuTel, Inc. clients doing so will result in immediate cancellation
of service and forfeiture of current month's access fees.
Abusive or threatening email: verified complaints about
NebuTel, Inc. clients sending abusive and/or threatening email, whether
or not commercial in nature, is grounds for cancellation of service.

on your receipt of an invoice, and payment of your account charges must
be received by NebuTel, Inc. prior to the first day of each billing cycle.

addition to the amount due, you will be subject to a returned check charge
of $20.00. If your account is cancelled or interrupted for non-payment,

request to terminate your account will relieve you of your obligation
to pay your monthly account charges.
If your account is in default, you are subject to an
interest charge of 1.5 percent per month, or the maximum allowable rate
under state law. If you default on your account, you agree to pay NebuTel,

agency fees, incurred in enforcing NebuTel, Inc. rights under the NebuTel,
Inc. Internet Access Agreement.
