Customers and affiliates of BUANA dotnet Internet Services are prohibited from using Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) and Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) as a means of advertising data or services hosted on BUANA dotnet's network, or using the network to distribute such materials. Infringments of this policy can result in termination of service. Customers and affiliates will be held responsible for the actions of their employees in this matter, so it would be best for Customer or affiliate to implement a similar or stricter policy. Please review the information at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_spam for more information on what constitutes UCE, or 'Spam.' Harassment, whether through language, frequency, or size of messages, is prohibited. These rules also apply to other types of Internet-based message distribution:
- Do not send out any Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE) or Unsolicited Bulk Email (also known as spam). We do not want to conduct business with anyone who does unsolicited bulk mailings.
- Spam-tising your website, i.e. sending out unsolicited bulk email promoting your site at BUANA dotnet but using another ISP's servers to transmit these messages is absolutely prohibited.
These prohibitions also encompass newsgroups and public mailing lists and bulletin boards.
Do not flood newsgroups or public mailing lists. Even bulk emails with "opt-out" instructions are not permitted.
- Customer will be held liable for such infringment even if the spamming action was done by a third party for Customer's benefit.
(i.e. if your advertising agency or one of your employees does the spamming, you would still be held responsible. If a sublessee of your site spams, accountability still remains with you.)
In summary, mass e-mailing is prohibited except in those cases where the recipient is a current, active customer of yours or has signed up on an opt-in email list.
You will need to be able to present irrefutable proof of the foregoing if a recipient challenges you on this.
Failure to observe the above mentioned restrictions may result in:
- an immediate suspension of your account, with full forfeiture of all setup and remaining fees.
- recovery of all costs incurred by BUANA dotnet to undo any disruptions caused by the transmission of the UCE.
Currently, we will charge USD $50 per individual message sent, up to a maximum of USD $25,000 daily, plus legal costs.
- our submission of the the spammer's domain name(s) to all anti-spam blocking databases, making the domain virtually unuseable even when the spammer transfers to another provider.
If an account or Domain Name has been suspended it can only be reinstated when an e-mail is received from the account or Domain Name owner. This e-mail should be sent to:
abuse@buana.net
The e-mail must, in the infringer's own words, explain (explaination e-mail):
- Why the SPAM incident or other Abuse incident occurred;
- If applicable, display understanding of why mass mailing is forbidden;
- Commit to incident not occurring again.
The same party that deals with incoming SPAM or Internet Abuse complaints will be the first arbiter in making a decision as to whether or not the account should be reinstated.
In making a decision the arbiter shall take into consideration:
- The authenticity of the e-mail (is it really from the address from which it purports to be);
- The nature of the response and the understanding and commitment exhibited therein;
- The history of Abuse on that Domain;
- To the extent known, the history of Abuse by that customer across different domains.
As mentioned above, by sending UCE's, we understand a spammer exposes himself to the following legal liabilities:
As of now, the recovery penalties as prescribed above, i.e. USD 50 per individual message sent up to a maximum of USD 25,000 daily, plus legal costs.
Furthermore, National Cyber authority criminalized the use of forged headers with penalties in prison and also fine.
Note that the ITE regulation applies to any message that is routed through network facilities located in BUANA dotnet network, whether or not the spam originated in specific country.
It also applies if the site being promoted is hosted on a server in any country. So, this includes all BUANA dotnet hosted sites.
Note that putting up a disclaimer stating that the email was sent in accordance to some regulation is not acceptable.
It may not dissolve you of any liability. Not only you would still be violating your service contract with BUANA dotnet, but you may still be violating parts of several countries' commercial law codes.
Any VPS that in our opinion uses a high amount of server resources (such as CPU, IO and Network) so that other websites are compromised will be given an option of reducing the resource needed to an acceptable level or cancelling service. Misuse of system resources, including but not limited to employing posts or programs which consume excessive/constant CPU time, IO access, permitting use of email services, mail forwarding capabilities, POP accounts, or auto-responders other than for your own account will not be allowed.
Any Dedicated Server that in our opinion uses a excessively high amount of network resources (such as network and power) so that other server are affected will be given an option of reducing the resource needed to an acceptable level or cancelling service.
Any Rack Colocation Service that in our opinion uses a excessively high amount of network resources (such as network and power) so that other server are affected will be given an option of reducing the resource needed to an acceptable level or cancelling service.
