You will not distribute, publish, send, or facilitate the sending of unsolicited mass e-mail or other messages, promotions, advertising, or solicitations (like “spam”), including commercial advertising and informational announcements. You will not alter or obscure mail headers or assume a sender’s identity without the sender’s explicit permission. You will not collect replies to messages sent from another internet service provider if those messages violate this AUP or the acceptable use policy of that provider. You must use reasonable efforts to secure any device or network within your control against being used in breach of the applicable laws against spam and unsolicited email, including where appropriate by the installation of antivirus software, firewall software, and operating system and application software patches and updates. You will not take any action which directly or indirectly results in any of our IP addresses being listed on any abuse database (e.g., Spamhaus).

You must comply with the laws and regulations applicable to bulk or commercial email in your jurisdiction. In addition, your bulk or commercial email must meet the following requirements:

• • You must have a privacy policy or similar disclosure posted for each domain associated with the mailing;
  • You must have the means to track anonymous complaints;
  • You must not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner;
  • You must post an email address for complaints (such as abuse@yourdomain.com) in a conspicuous place on any website associated with the email, and you must promptly respond to messages sent to that address;
  • Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure, and you can produce the evidence of such consent within 72 hours of receipt of a request by the recipient or Latviv;
  • You must use reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given;
  • You must include the recipient’s e-mail address in the body of the message or in the “TO” line of the e-mail; and
  • You must honor revocations of consent and notify recipients of the same.

These mail policies apply to messages sent using the Latviv Platform, or to messages sent from any System by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via the Platform. In addition, you may not use a third-party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all of its customers. These requirements apply to distribution lists created by third parties to the same extent as if you created the list.

Vulnerability Testing

You may not attempt to probe, scan, penetrate, or test the vulnerability of a Latviv system or network, or to breach the Latviv security or authentication measures, whether by passive or intrusive techniques or conduct any security or malware research on or using the Platform, without Latviv’s prior written consent.

Excessive Use of Shared System Resources

You may not use any shared System provided by Latviv in a way that unnecessarily interferes with the normal operation of the shared system, or that consumes a disproportionate share of the resources of the System. For example, we may require you to repair coding abnormalities in your cloud-hosted integration code if it unnecessarily consumes Platform resources. You agree that we may quarantine or delete any data stored on a shared system if the data is infected with a virus, or is otherwise corrupted, and has the potential to infect or corrupt the System or other customers’ data that is stored on the same system.

Our Monitoring and Enforcement

We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to investigate any suspected violation of this AUP or misuse of the Platform about which we have actual knowledge. In connection with such investigations, we may report any activity that we suspect violates any law or regulation to appropriate law enforcement officials, regulators, or other appropriate third parties. Such reporting may include disclosing, reviewing, and preserving appropriate customer information consistent with applicable law. We also may cooperate with appropriate law enforcement agencies, regulators, or other appropriate third parties to help with the investigation and prosecution of illegal conduct by providing network and systems information related to alleged violations of this AUP.

Consequences of Violation of AUP

If we determine, at our discretion, that you have violated this AUP, we may remove, disable access to, or modify any content or resource and/or suspend or terminate your use of the Platform. We also may intercept or block any content or traffic belonging to you or to users where the Platform is being used unlawfully or not in accordance with this AUP. Our right to suspend or terminate your use of the Platform applies even if a violation is committed unintentionally or without your authorization. Such right is not an obligation on us to act at any given time or with respect to any given Subscriber, and we may exercise such right at any time within our sole discretion.
