Acceptable use policy for WSTS contact information and addresses

We are receiving more junk mail than we would like. We don't send it; we don't want to receive it!

Email addresses in our domain are being used fraudulently as the apparent origin of spam. This really is a form of identity fraud, and we deal with it as such.

Contact details are for genuine communications regarding our products and services, or business administration. No numbers or addresses may be added to any mailing list or other source of junk mail without express permission. Our details may not be used indirectly for unsolicited advertising, e.g. through the use of a mailing list which includes our address without permission. By using this web site you implicitly agree to these conditions. Unauthorized use of the contact information is to be taken as consent to pay a fee of U.K. £1000 per unsolicited communication received, or more for repeated nuisance.

We have no objection to information being included in address books or hypertext links for personal or business use, as long as the purpose is for genuine communications as above.

Email addresses in our domains are assigned by our network manager only, and are not administered through this web site. Unauthorised use of email addresses in our domains, including dumb forwarding of unauthorised emails, is to be taken as consent to pay a fee of U.K. £10000 per communication purportedly sent from any address in our domains, or more for repeated nuisance.

Originating addresses and originating domains: we will attempt to warn you once of unauthorised or unsolicited activity, invoicing per the fees above if appropriate and requiring more details of the actual origin of unauthorised messages; we may then take further enforcement action without further warning. Forwarders: we will attempt to warn you at least once, requesting that the forwarding cease. If this does not happen, we will invoice per the fees above and may take further enforcement action without further warning.

Feel free to copy and adopt this policy.
