Policies
and Terms of Service
Updated January 2003
LAN Services, LLC and its affiliates, hereafter referred to
as LS, provide a range of electronic and other services. Internet
Services provided by LS, hereafter referred to as the Site,
are provided under the following Terms of Service agreement.
LAN
Services, LLC and its Affiliates (LS) offer a number of Internet-related
services.
It
is contrary to our policy for any user of any of these services
to take part in any of the following activities through a
LS provided service:
To post a single article or advertisement
to more than ten (10) Usenet or other newsgroups, forums,
email mailing lists or other similar groups or lists;
To post to any Usenet or other
newsgroup, forum, email mailing list or other similar group
or list articles which are off-topic according to the charter
or other owner-published FAQ or description of the group
or list;
To send unsolicited mass emailings
to more than twenty-five (25) email users, causing such
unsolicited emailings to provoke complaints from any of
the recipients;
To engage in any of the foregoing
activities using the service of another provider, but channeling
such activities through a LS account or with a LS account
as a maildrop for responses;
To use the Lanservices.com domain
name or the domain name of any LS affiliates to advertise
any LS website or service via Unsolicited Commercial Bulk
Email as defined above.
LS considers the above practices to constitute abuse of its
service and of the recipients of such unsolicited mailings
and/or postings, who often bear the expense. Therefore, these
practices are prohibited by LS's terms and conditions of service.
Engaging in any of these practices will result in termination
of the offender's account and/or access to LS services.
In addition, LS reserves the right, where feasible, to implement
technical mechanisms which block multiple postings as described
above before they are forwarded.
This policy addresses only the kinds of network abuse specifically
enumerated above. In addition to these activities, LS's terms
and conditions of service also prohibit other forms of abuse
such as harassment and the posting of illegal or unlawful
materials, and LS will respond as appropriate to these other
activities as well.
Nothing contained in this policy shall be construed to limit
LS's actions or remedies in any way with respect to any of
the foregoing activities, and LS reserves the right to take
any and all additional actions it may deem appropriate with
respect to such activities, including without limitation taking
action to recover the costs and expenses of identifying offenders
and removing them from use of LS services.
In addition, LS reserves at all times all rights and remedies
available to it with respect to such activities at law or
in equity.
By use of the Site, you agree to use the Site in a manner
consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and in
accordance with the terms and conditions discussed below.
