2.3 E-mail and Usenet News. The Customer agrees that it shall be responsible for monitoring the use of the Service and that Tychron shall not be obligated to monitor such use. Customer agrees that the following uses are Violations: (I) Unsolicited E-mail – the Customer may not allow the Services to be used to transmit SPAM or collect the responses from excessive volumes of unsolicited commercial e-mail messages. “SPAM” shall mean unsolicited bulk e-mails sent to a recipient where: (a) the recipient’s personal identity or context are irrelevant because the message is equally applicable to other potential recipients and (b) the recipient has not verifiably granted deliberate, explicit, and still-revocable permission for it to be sent. The use of another provider’s service to send unsolicited commercial or bulk e-mails, SPAMs or mass mailings to promote a site hosted on or associated with the Services is similarly prohibited; (ii) E-mail Relay – the use of another party’s e-mail server to relay e-mail without express permission from such party is prohibited; (iii) Usenet – all postings by Users to USENET groups must comply with that group’s charter and other applicable guidelines and Policy. Cross-posting and continuous posting of off-topic messages, including commercial messages, is prohibited; (iv) Bulk e-mail – the Customer shall not allow the Service to be used to send bulk e-mails unless the recipient of such e-mail has verifiably confirmed permission for the address to be included on the specific mailing list by confirming (responding to) the list subscription request verification (“Closed-Loop Opt-In”); and (v) Blacklisted IP-Address – the Customer may not allow an IP-Address that is registered to Tychron and used by the Customer to become blacklisted, banned or blocked by a third-party that monitors improper, or illegal use of the Internet.

2.4 Complaints. If Tychron receives any complaints from third parties with respect to a User’s use of the Services (“Complaints”), the Customer shall, within twenty-four (24) hours, respond to such Complaints to the reasonable satisfaction of Tychron and any failure to respond shall be deemed a Violation authorizing Tychron to take any of the actions described in Section 3. In addition, in the event Tychron receives more than five (5) Complaints in a one-month period or more than ten (10) Complaints in any ninety-day period, it shall be deemed a Violation authorizing Tychron to take any of the actions described in Section 3.

In the event that Tychron has a good faith suspicion that the Customer is in violation of Section 2, the Customer shall, within twenty-four hours of a request by Tychron, provide to Tychron a copy of any Transmission or e-mail that caused such suspicion or generated a Complaint as well as the underlying consent by the recipient to receive such Transmission or e-mail, provided that, the Customer shall take appropriate action to protect the privacy of the recipient.

3. Warning / Suspension / Termination. In the event of a Violation, Tychron may, in its sole and absolute discretion, take any or all of the following actions: (I) Warning – Tychron may issue a verbal, e-mail, or written warning notifying the Customer of the Violation and the corrective action that must be taken. A warning may also provide that Tychron will suspend or terminate all or part of a Customer’s service in the event of any additional Violation; (ii) Suspension – Tychron may suspend, with or without warning, all or part of a Customer’s Service and may condition restoration of such Service upon the Customer affecting corrective action; iii) Termination – Tychron may, with or without warning, and with or without prior suspension, terminate all or part of the Customer’s service and may terminate the Customer’s Agreement.

The foregoing is not an exhaustive list of actions Tychron may take in the event of a Violation, and suspension or termination of Customer’s Service is not an exclusive remedy and shall not affect any other rights Tychron may have under the Agreement. Tychron shall have no liability to the Customer or Users in the event the Customer’s Agreement is terminated and/or a User’s service is suspended or terminated in accordance with this Policy.

4. Miscellaneous. Failure of Tychron to enforce this Policy or take any action with respect to a Violation shall not constitute a waiver of its right to enforce any action with respect to another Violation. Tychron takes no responsibility for any material created or accessed via the Services. Tychron does not monitor, verify, warrant, or validate the integrity, accuracy, and quality of information it receives or transmits but reserves the right to do so in the event it has a good faith suspicion that a Customer or User may have violated this Policy. Tychron will cooperate with appropriate law enforcement and government agencies or other parties involved in investigating claims of illegal or inappropriate activity. Tychron reserves the right to modify this Policy at any time by communicating such modified Policy to the Customer or by posting it on Tychron’s website at www.tychron.com, effective upon posting.
