Register4Less, Inc. No SPAM Policy

Register4less.com does not tolerate SPAM (Unsolicited Bulk/Commercial Email) and will not allow our servers or services to be used for or associated with such an activity. There can be two types of complaints/issues with SPAM. Both types are subject to this No SPAM policy.

1. SPAM being sent from a customer's email account. When we receive a SPAM complaint, it is investigated by our support team to determine the source of the SPAM.
2. Incorrectly reported SPAM to an ISP. With email aliases, spam that is not filtered by our server will get forwarded to the email that has been configured for the email alias. SPAM that your email alias forwards to your ISP account should not be repored to your ISP as R4L's servers being the spammer. The source sender is the offender.

If Register4less.com receives complaints to abuse@register4less.com and our investigation substantiates the complaint, Register4less.com will:

1. Suspend the email boxes, DNS and/or hosting services associated with the domain name in question for a period of no less than 2 days.
2. A notification of suspension of services will be sent to the administrative contact for the domain.
3. In some cases, we may send an advance notice that we have received a complaint. If you receive an advance notice, you need to reply to this to avoid having services for the domain suspended.
4. The registrant will be required to respond by email to the spam notification message stating that they will cease to send SPAM and/or have SPAM sent on their behalf.

Register4less.com will require a non-refundable $100.00 reactivation fee to be paid before the site or email boxes are reactivated. In the event that Register4less.com receives further complaints after a first notification has been sent as describe d above, we will terminate the hosting/DNS services and email boxes associated with domain name in question. The domain name in question may also be confiscated by us if we are the registration service provider. No registration, hosting, or email fees shall be refunded if an account is terminated for breach of this policy. Spamming of newsgroups or other forms of online unsolicited commercial communications (unsolicited pop up/pop under messages...) are also subject to this policy.
