Unsolicited bulk e-mail (UBE) is defined by Cirkuit Networks as any electronic communication (e-mail, ICQ, IRC, Instant Messenger, etc…) to multiple recipients who have not agreed to receive such communication.

Use of the Cirkuit Networks network, servers or services to transmit any unsolicited commercial or unsolicited bulk-e-mail is expressly prohibited, as is hosting web sites or services on a server, which are advertised in any UCE/UBE. Cirkuit Networks also prohibits the sending of any fraudulent, malicious, harassing, false or misleading electronic communications, including, without limitation, chain letters, pyramid schemes, or e-mails with forged headers. Posting off-topic advertisements to Usenet discussion groups, ICQ, Instant Messenger, etc., is also expressly prohibited.

Additionally, Cirkuit Networks customers are expressly prohibited from sending any UCE/UBE from our network or any email from another network that in any way references a document, image, or Web site that resides on the Cirkuit Networks network or in one of our data centers. Violations of this type may result in the termination of the offending Cirkuit Networks account. Our customers are ultimately responsible for any violations of the AUP by their clients, and any violation of the AUP by a client of a Cirkuit Networks customer shall be deemed a violation of the AUP by such Cirkuit Networks customer.

Customers whose actions directly or indirectly result in Cirkuit Networks IP space being listed in any of the various abuse databases may be subject to having the offending domain(s), server(s), or user(s) immediately removed from our service. In addition, if Cirkuit Networks in its sole discretion determines that a customer is in violation of our AUP, Cirkuit Networks may, at its sole discretion, restrict, suspend or terminate a customer's account. Cirkuit Networks will, in most cases, attempt to contact a customer prior to suspension or termination of a server(s), but cannot guarantee prior notification.

Any server suspended or terminated for AUP violations will be reconnected only after the customer agrees to cease all activities that violate the Cirkuit Networks AUP and pays all applicable reconnect fees and related charges. Any server suspended a second time for AUP violations WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network.

Customers that Cirkuit Networks determines in its sole discretion to be in violation of the Cirkuit Networks AUP may be subject to additional fees or fines including, without limitation, any applicable reconnect fees.

Violation of Cirkuit Networks UCE/UBE policy may be reported to [email protected].

Guidelines for Permission-Based Email. While Cirkuit Networks prohibits the use of its systems or network to send unsolicited email (UCE/UBE) as described above, customers may send permission-based email marketing, subject to the guidelines provided herein. Permission-based marketing is defined as electronic marketing that an end user agrees to receive. This is often referred to as 'opt-in' electronic marketing. All recipient information for such marketing conducted by Cirkuit Networks customers must be documented and cataloged by the customer. This information is to include date, time, originating IP and the location from which the email address or other recipient information was obtained. Additionally, a customer must at a minimum comply with the following guidelines, and any additional guidelines established by Cirkuit Networks from time to time in its sole discretion, to engage in permission-based email marketing without violating the AUP:

All commercial or bulk email originating from a Cirkuit Networks customer on the Cirkuit Networks network must have a working unsubscribe link. The customer must honor all requests to unsubscribe within 72 hours. Additionally, there must be text in the email stating that while all requests to unsubscribe are honored, it may take up to 72 hours to process.
All commercial or bulk email originating from a Cirkuit Networks customer on the Cirkuit Networks network must clearly list the email address to which the email was originally sent (the intended recipient's email address) in the body of the message OR in the 'TO:' line of the email.
All Cirkuit Networks customers sending commercial or bulk email must have a working [email protected] address from EVERY domain associated with the email campaign. Additionally, the abuse@ address must be prominently posted on the front page of the associated web site. Customers must regularly answer any messages sent to the abuse@ address.
All Cirkuit Networks customers sending commercial or bulk email must register the abuse@ address for every domain associated with commercial email they send at abuse.net.
All Cirkuit Networks customers sending commercial or bulk email must have a Privacy Policy/AUP posted for each domain associated with the email campaign.
All commercial or bulk email sent must include information about where the email address was obtained in the body of the email. For example:

"You opted-in to receive this email promotion from our web site or from one of our partner sites."
All Cirkuit Networks customers sending commercial or bulk email must answer all complainants' requests for details regarding where the complainant "opted-in" to receive electronic marketing within 72 hours. This information must include the date, time, originating IP and the location from which the email address or other recipient information was obtained. Instructions on how to get this information must be stated clearly in the body of the email. For example, a statement similar to the following must be present in the body of the email:
"If you would like to learn more about how we received your email address, please contact us at [email protected]."

Requests for "opt-in" information must be responded to within 72 hours.

All Cirkuit Networks customers sending commercial or bulk email must be able to track and identify anonymous complainants. There are several software packages (such as RoboMail) that can help accomplish this.
If a Cirkuit Networks customer is using an affiliate program to send commercial or bulk email through the Cirkuit Networks network and the affiliate program becomes subject to repeated abuse by users, the customer must discontinue use of the affiliate program or be subject to immediate suspension or cancellation.
All customers of Cirkuit Networks are required to have up-to-date and valid contact information on file with their registrar for any domain hosted on the Cirkuit Networks network.

Disclaimer

Cirkuit Networks reserves the right to test portions of any customer's email list in response to complaints and request opt-in information from a random sample of that list at any time.
Cirkuit Networks reserves the right to determine in its sole discretion the validity of any customer's email list. Any list Cirkuit Networks determines in its sole discretion to be in violation of this AUP must be removed immediately or the customer will be subject to immediate suspension or termination. Repeated violations will result in permanent suspension.
Cirkuit Networks reserves the right to test and otherwise monitor customer's compliance with the above guidelines and requirements at any time during the customer's term of service at Cirkuit Networks.
If Cirkuit Networks determines in its sole discretion that the customer is not in strict compliance with the guidelines for permission-based e-mail marketing, then Cirkuit Networks may immediately suspend or terminate the customer's service.

IP Address Overlap. Cirkuit Networks administers the network on which customer servers reside. The customer cannot use IP addresses, which were not assigned to them by Cirkuit Networks staff. Any server found using IPs, which were not officially assigned, will be suspended from network access until such time as the IP addresses overlap can be corrected.

Suspension. If Cirkuit Networks in its sole discretion determines that a Customer's server has become the source or target of any violation concerning the Cirkuit Networks Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), Cirkuit Networks reserves the right to suspend network access to that server. While Cirkuit Networks will attempt to contact the Customer before suspending network access to the customer's server(s), prior notification to the Customer is not assured. In certain cases, Cirkuit Networks will contact law enforcement and other agencies regarding these activities. Customers are responsible for all charges, as well as any fees relating to the investigation, suspension, administration and handling of their servers before, during and after the suspension period.
