related charges. Any server suspended a second time for AUP violations
WILL be immediately and permanently removed from our network.

Customers seeking to send any permission-based email marketing
should read Guidelines for Permission-Based Email to see our guidelines
for sending this type of communication.
Guidelines for Permission-Based Email
While datahi prohibits the use of its systems or network to send unsolicited
email (UCE/UBE) as described above, customers may send permission-based
email marketing, subject to the guidelines provided herein. Permission-based
marketing is defined as electronic marketing that an end user agrees to
receive. This is often referred to as 'opt-in' electronic marketing. All
recipient information for such marketing conducted by datahi customers
must be documented and cataloged by the customer. This information is
to include date, time, originating IP and the location from which the
email address or other recipient information was obtained. Additionally,
a customer must at a minimum comply with the following guidelines, and
any additional guidelines established by datahi from time to time in its
sole discretion, to engage in permission-based email marketing without
violating the AUP:
1. All commercial or bulk email originating from a datahi
customer on the datahi network must have a working unsubscribe link. The
customer must honor all requests to unsubscribe within 72 hours. Additionally,
there must be text in the email stating that while all requests to unsubscribe
are honored, it may take up to 72 hours to process.
2. All commercial or bulk email originating from a datahi
customer on the datahi network must clearly list the email address to
which the email was originally sent (the intended recipient's email address)
in the body of the message OR in the 'TO:' line of the email.
3. All datahi customers sending commercial or bulk email
must have a working abuse@domain.com address from EVERY domain associated
with the email campaign. Additionally, the abuse@ address must be prominently
posted on the front page of the associated web site. Customers must regularly
answer any messages sent to the abuse@ address.
4. All datahi customers sending commercial or bulk email
must register the abuse@ address for every domain associated with commercial
email they send at abuse.net.
5. All datahi customers sending commercial or bulk email
must have a Privacy Policy/AUP posted for each domain associated with
the email campaign.
6. All commercial or bulk email sent must include information
about where the email address was obtained in the body of the email. For
example:
"You opted-in to receive this email promotion from our web site or
from one of our partner sites."
7. All datahi customers sending commercial or bulk email
must answer all complainants' requests for details regarding where the
complainant "opted-in" to receive electronic marketing within
72 hours. This information must include the date, time, originating IP
and the location from which the email address or other recipient information
was obtained. Instructions on how to get this information must be stated
clearly in the body of the email. For example, a statement similar to
the following must be present in the body of the email:
"If you would like to learn more about how we received your email
address, please contact us at abuse@datahi.com."
Requests for "opt-in" information must be responded
to within 72 hours.
8. All datahi customers sending commercial or bulk email
must be able to track and identify SpamCop complainants. There are several
software packages (such as RoboMail) that can help accomplish this.
9. If a datahi customer is using an affiliate program
to send commercial or bulk email through the datahi network and the affiliate
program becomes subject to repeated abuse by users, the customer must
discontinue use of the affiliate program or be subject to immediate suspension
or cancellation.
10. All customers of datahi are required to have up-to-date
and valid contact information on file with their registrar for any domain
hosted on the datahi network.

customer cannot use IP addresses which were not assigned to them by datahi
staff. Any server found using IPs which were not officially assigned will
be suspended from network access until such time as the IP addresses overlap
can be corrected.
Billing
The customer understands that the customer is responsible for paying
for any network resources that are used to connect the customer's server
to the Internet. The customer may request that the customer's server be
disconnected from the Internet, but the customer will still be responsible
for paying for any network resources used up to the point of suspension
or cancellation. It is the clients responsibility to monitor CPU, Disk,
and bandwidth usage. Any customer who goes over their alloted amount will
be billed immediately for the amount of service used. Monthly billing
occurs on the 1st and 15th of the month. Account additions and/or overage
will be billed immediately.
Suspension
If datahi in its sole discretion determines that a customer's server
has become the source or target of any violation concerning the datahi
Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), datahi reserves the right to suspend network
access to that server. While datahi will attempt to contact the customer
before suspending network access to the customer's server(s), prior notification
to the customer is not assured. In certain cases, datahi will contact
law enforcement and other agencies regarding these activities. Customers
are responsible for all charges, as well as any fees relating to the investigation,
suspension, administration and handling of their servers before, during
and after the suspension period.
Cancellation
datahi reserves the right to cancel service at any time. If inappropriate
activity is detected, all accounts of the customer in question will be
deactivated until an investigation is complete. Prior notification to
the Customer is not assured. In extreme cases, law enforcement will be
contacted regarding the illegal activity. Any violation of policies which
results in extra costs will be billed to the customer (i.e. transfer,
space etc.). Any cancellations due to a TOS contract violation will result
in an immediate loss of any refund for services paid for. You may also
be immediately billed for unauthorized bandwidth fees. Please see that
section of this document for more information.
