5. Usenet News Use

5.1 Voonami may investigate complaints regarding posts of inappropriate material to Usenet by Customers and may, in its sole discretion, take action based on the rules below. Criteria for determining whether a post is inappropriate include, but are not limited to, the written charter/FAQ of the newsgroup(s) in question, the established Usenet conventions outlined below, the system resources consumed by the posting, and applicable laws.

5.2 Usenet news articles posted using Voonami's services must comply with the written charter/FAQ of the newsgroup to which they are posted. If a newsgroup does not have a charter or FAQ, its title may be considered sufficient to determine the general topic of the newsgroup. Voonami Customers are responsible for determining the rules of a newsgroup before posting to it.

5.3 Established Usenet conventions ("Netiquette") prohibit advertising in most Usenet newsgroups. Voonami Customers may post advertisements only in those newsgroups which specifically permit them in the charter or FAQ. Some newsgroups may permit "classified ads" for single transactions between private individuals, but not commercial advertisements. Voonami Customers are responsible for determining whether or not a newsgroup permits advertisements before posting.

5.4 Netiquette prohibits certain types of posts in most Usenet newsgroups. Types of prohibited posts include chain letters, pyramid schemes, encoded binary files, job offers or listings, and personal ads. Voonami Customers may post these types of message only in newsgroups which specifically permit them in the charter or FAQ (if any). Voonami Customers are responsible for determining whether or not a newsgroup permits a type of message before posting.

5.5 Voonami Customers may not alter the headers of posts to Usenet to conceal their email address or to prevent Customers from responding to posts.

5.6 Only the poster or entity who posts a Usenet article or Voonami has the right to cancel the article. Voonami Customers may not use Voonami resources to cancel articles which they did not post. The sole exception to this rule is for moderators of formally moderated newsgroups; the moderator of a newsgroup may cancel any articles in a newsgroup that such moderator is moderating.

5.7 Voonami Customers may not attempt to "flood" or disrupt Usenet newsgroups. Disruption is defined as posting to a newsgroup a large number of messages which contain no substantive content, to the extent that normal discussion in the group is significantly hindered. Examples of disruptive activities include, but are not limited to, posting multiple messages with no text in the body, or posting many follow-ups to messages with no new text.

6. Email Use

6.1 Voonami may investigate complaints regarding email and may, in its sole discretion, take action based on the rules below.

6.2 Use of email in violation of sections 1.2, 3.3, 4.1 or 6.6 shall be a Serious Violation under section 2.3 hereof. It shall also be considered a Serious Violation under section 2.3 if more than two percent (2%) of the emails sent in a Bulk Mailing are in violation of or the Customer shows a pattern of not complying with the rules set forth in 6.7.

6.3 Voonami Customers may not participate in bulk emailing or email marketing activities ("Bulk Mailings") without first notifying Voonami in writing of the planned purpose and frequency of such activities. Upon notifying Voonami, Customers may send Bulk Mailings of the type and frequency specified in the written notice in accordance with these Guidelines.

6.4 Unsolicited advertising mailings, whether commercial or informational, are strictly prohibited.

6.5 Within four (4) business days of Voonami's request, the Customer must provide Voonami with records detailing the affirmative action by which a subscriber opted to receive emails from the Customer. Upon the email request of an email recipient or Voonami's request, the Customer must immediately remove the recipient from all applicable mailing lists and refrain from further transmissions to the recipient. Customers may not alter the headers of email messages to conceal their email address or to prevent recipients from responding to messages.

6.6 For each email sent as part of a Bulk Mailing, the Customer must assure that the subject line accurately represents the content of the email and that the owner of each address to which an email is sent has made an affirmative action or statement consenting and requesting to receive emails of the nature being sent. Each email sent as part of a Bulk Mailing must include a statement indicating how the email address was obtained and whether the mailing is a one-time correspondence or part of a recurring distribution, a valid land mail mailing address or phone number for receipt of consumer complaints, and unsubscribe directions and functionality.

6.7 Violations of the Voonami policies outlined in this document can sometimes result in massive numbers of email responses. If a Voonami Customer receives so much email that Voonami resources are affected, Voonami staff may block access to the customer's equipment at the router level.

7. World Wide Web Use

7.1 Voonami will investigate complaints regarding inappropriate material on Web pages transmitted using Voonami services and may, in its sole discretion, require that the material be removed or take action as outlined in Section 2.3 above.

8. Office Suite

Only applicable if Office Suite purchased.

8.1 Voonami's pricing on its Office Suite product is based upon the assumption that Customer's use will not adversely impact the experience of other customers or constitute excess usage of Services. The Office Suite products are designed to meet the typical needs of small and medium businesses. If Internet connectivity exceeds a one to five (1 to 5) data transfer upload to download ratio, then Voonami in its discretion may immediately cut back Office Suite Services or terminate Office Suite Services unless adjusted pricing is agreed to by Customer. Also, usage of VOIP cannot exceed typical business use as determined by Voonami in its discretion. Office Suite is not intended to support the sustained demand of large enterprises, internationally based businesses, call centers, high users of bandwidth or other non-typical applications better suited to larger bandwidth or Voonami's enterprise products.

8.2 Voonami will make commercially reasonable effort to provide additional resources to customers who are using their website(s) consistent with these Guidelines, including moving customers to newer and bigger shared servers or offering increased bandwidth as necessary. However, in order to ensure a consistent and quality experience for all customers, Voonami may place safeguards to protect against any customer using excessive bandwidth and/or VOIP until Voonami can evaluate said customer's needs and adjust pricing, if necessary.
