Email Policy

Mass Mailings. MegaDealHosting has a zero stance policy on SPAM, Junk E-mail or UCE. Spam, Junk-mail and UCE are defined as: the sending of the same, or substantially similar, unsolicited electronic mail messages, whether commercial or not, to more than one recipient. A message is considered unsolicited if it is posted in violation of a newsgroup charter or if it is sent to a recipient who has not requested or invited the message. UCE also includes e-mail with forged headers, compromised mail server relays, and false contact information. This prohibition extends to the sending of unsolicited mass mailings from another service, which in any way implicates the use of MegaDealHosting whether or not the message actually originated from our network.

Mailing Lists: MegaDealHosting's mass mailing rules also apply to mailing lists, list servs, or mailing services you may contract with. The policy is stated as follows: An acceptable mailing list will be focused at a targeted audience that has voluntarily signed up for your e-mail information or that has made their e-mail address available for distribution of information from you. The list must also allow for automatic removal by all end Customers with non-distribution in the future.

If your actions have caused MegaDealHosting mail servers or MegaDealHosting IP address ranges to be placed on blackhole lists and other mail filtering software systems used by companies on the internet, you will be assessed a £200 charge to your account and £50 per hour for administrative charges incurred to remove and protect mail servers and IP ranges.

Violation of the above terms will result in one or all of the following:

A warning from via email or phone.
Removal of DNS for the advertised / originating site.
Immediate disconnection of service with no re-activation.
£200 fee assessed to your account for violation.
