Anti-Spam Policy

At Pastis Enterprises, we maintain a stringent anti-spam policy. The use of our services for sending unsolicited bulk emails or any kind of unsolicited email is strictly prohibited. We reserve the right to terminate your account “for cause” if we determine that you have violated our anti-spam policies. Additionally, we may suspend your account pending review upon receipt of any complaints or evidence suggesting involvement in spamming activities.

We enforce a zero-tolerance approach towards the sending of unsolicited emails, bulk emailing, and spam. Utilizing “safe lists,” purchased lists, or selling of lists will be treated as spamming activities. We reserve the right to terminate the account of any user found to be engaging in spam activities, with or without prior notice.

Websites advertised via spam (Spamvertised) are not permitted to be hosted on our servers. This includes but is not limited to spam sent through fax, phone, postal mail, email, instant messaging, or Usenet/newsgroups. Hosting of any organization or entity listed in the ROKSO on our servers is prohibited. Any user account that results in our IP space being blacklisted will be immediately suspended or terminated.

Pastis Enterprises reserves the right to enforce changes or disable any website, account, database, or component that does not comply with our policies. We may also make such modifications in an emergency situation, at our sole discretion.

We reserve the right to charge the account holder a cleanup fee or any charges incurred for blacklist removal if unsolicited emails are sent from their account, at our sole discretion.
