J-NET WEB CONSULTING
POLICIES
J-Net Web Consulting, a.k.a. Itjit.com, provides web hosting to
numerous clients which means that we have a responsibility to
protect each client and to provide the best services available. The
following guidelines were established to ensure these crucial
obligations are met.
These Policies, Guidelines, and Disclaimer are intended for all
domains residing on J-Net Web Consulting servers, including regular
hosting clients, resellers, and their clients. We ask that all
clients reselling our hosting services in any way, including those
providing non-virtual hosting services, implement these same
Policies, Guidelines, and Disclaimers into their own web sites to
ensure that the same are understood and met by their clients.
UNACCEPTABLE ACTIVITIES:
These include spamming (sending unsolicited advertising to those
with which the customer has no existing business relationship,
posting off-topic advertising in newsgroups); spoofing (using a
return email address which is not the valid reply address of the
sender or sending an email message which does not contain enough
information to enable the recipient to identify the party who is
really sending the message; passive spamming (promoting a web site
hosted by J-Net Web Consulting by spamming from some other source),
trolling (posting controversial messages in newsgroups to generate
responses), mailbombing (inundating a user with email without any
serious intent to correspond), generating a higher volume of
outgoing mail than a normal user (20% or more of available system
resources), and subscribing someone else to an electronic mailing
list without that person's permission. A message is considered
unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or
sent to a recipient who has not requested the message. Making an
email address available to the public does not constitute a request
to receive messages. Distribution of mass emailing programs is also
prohibited. All recipients on a mailing list must have personally
subscribed. Mailing lists may not be used to distributed unsolicited
email. Any customer repeatedly "mailbombed" or that attracts such
behavior will be asked to leave. If you are not sure if your actions
will be in violation, please ask first abuse@4ua.com.

on the Internet, and will not suspend or cancel a customer's account
simply because it disagrees with the views expressed by the
