Terms of Service



The date for these Guidelines for Acceptable Use is March 13, 2001.

Introduction
Please read these Guidelines for Acceptable Use carefully. Together with the Service Agreement and the Privacy Statement, they govern your use of the Internet access and other information, communication and transaction services (collectively called the Service) provided to you by Juno, Inc. ("Juno"). These Guidelines, the Service Agreement and the Privacy Statement supersede all prior communications and agreements with regard to their subject matter; the current version of each may be found at Juno's Web site at http://www.juno.com/privacy.

Failing to comply with these or any other guidelines made available to you from time to time by Juno, or interfering with any other person's use and enjoyment of the Service or any other online service, may result in termination of your account.

 Email

Unsolicited Commercial Email
Juno accounts may not be used to send unsolicited advertisements for goods or services of any kind, free or for profit. Furthermore, Juno accounts may not be used as a dropbox or repository for responses to an unsolicited advertisement (including, but not limited to, inquiries, complaints, unsubscribe replies or bounced messages). Subscribers may be fined US$200.00 for each day this provision is violated. Full payment of fines will not prevent Juno from terminating the offending account or seeking to obtain other legal remedies against the responsible subscriber, including other damages or an injunction. For information on Juno's efforts to combat unsolicited commercial email ("spam") and links to independent spam-fighting organizations, see our spam resources at http://www.juno.com/privacy/spam.html.

Mass Mailings

You may not use the Service to disseminate any email message in a broad-based mailing without Juno's prior consent. Whether a given mailing constitutes a "mass mailing" is determined by Juno in its sole discretion, based on criteria which may include the size of the message being sent and the number of recipients. Any message sent to more than 50 email addresses simultaneously will typically be considered a mass mailing, and will not be permitted.

Sending chain letters through the Service is prohibited.

Using your Juno account to participate in a pyramid scheme is prohibited. Pyramid schemes are illegal operations in which an email recipient is encouraged to send money to a list of several people, replace one name on the list with his/her own, and forward the email in bulk to others.

Threats
You may not use the Service to transmit any harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, hateful or other offensive material. For everybody's safety and comfort, we are obligated to take threats seriously. If you make a threat, your account may be terminated even if you were joking or didn't intend to follow through on the stated threat.

Mail Bombs
The use of a Juno account to send a mail bomb is prohibited. Mail bombing is defined as sending numerous and/or unusually large files or messages to one or more recipients with malicious intent.

Harassment
Email harassment is prohibited. Harassment is defined as sending unsolicited messages which interfere with others' enjoyment of the Internet. A message does not need to be overtly threatening or have obscene content to qualify as harassment. Unlike threatening messages, harassing mail can sometimes be the unintended result of mail repeatedly sent to a misspelled or otherwise incorrect address, a poorly maintained mailing list or indiscriminate use of the "reply to all" function. You can avoid unintentionally harassing other Internet users by:
  1. Making sure you know all the people to whom your message is addressed before sending it;
  2. Making sure that the addresses entered in your Address Book are entered correctly;
  3. NOT selecting "Reply to All" without knowing who all recipients are and being sure that they welcome mail from you; and
  4. Refraining from emailing any person who has stated that he or she does not wish to receive mail from you.

 Newsgroups

Newsgroup Spamming
Juno accounts may not be used to send unsolicited advertisements for goods or services of any kind, free or for profit. Furthermore, Juno accounts may not be used as a dropbox or repository for responses to an unsolicited advertisement (including, but not limited to, inquiries, complaints, unsubscribe replies or bounced messages). Subscribers may be fined US$200.00 for each day this provision is violated. Full payment of fines will not prevent Juno from terminating the offending account or seeking to obtain other legal remedies against the responsible subscriber, including other damages or an injunction.

Off-Topic or Harassing Posting

Any message sent to more than 50 email addresses simultaneously will typically be considered a mass mailing, and will not be permitted.

 General

Resale
You may not resell the Service or any part of the Service.

No Business Use

Juno is intended for personal use, rather than commercial or corporate use. For example, we don't permit the use of Juno accounts to send unsolicited commercial email (sometimes called spam) or bulk email of any other kind. However, if you're an individual businessperson and would like to conduct some of your business correspondence through Juno, or would like to bring Juno to the office so you can check your personal email there, please feel free to do so.

Impersonation or Header Forgery
A Juno subscriber may not attempt to send email or post articles to newsgroups, mailing lists or other forums using a name and address of someone other than himself/herself. Attempting to impersonate any person, using forged headers or other forged identifying or transmission path information or knowingly permitting another person to falsely identify your account as the origin of such transmission is prohibited and cause for immediate termination.

Password Solicitation and Other Security Attacks
Use of the Service to compromise the security or damage the resources of any other Internet user or site is strictly prohibited. Use or distribution of tools designed for compromising security is prohibited. The Service may not be used to transmit or receive replies to password solicitations.

Viruses
The Service may not be used to transmit or post any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment.

Connection

The following guidelines apply to your connection to the Service:

You agree that your account may not be used to maintain a persistent and continuous connection to the Internet, and you may not engage in any practice (such as automated and/or persistent checking of the host server) or use any software or device (such as an auto-dialing device) in an effort to maintain a persistent and continuous connection, except as Juno may explicitly permit for certain service levels.

You agree that Juno may terminate your connection after a period of inactivity and/or if necessary, each as determined in Juno's sole discretion, to restore or maintain general availability of access to the Service by, and/or appropriate allocation of resources among, Juno subscribers.

You may not create "simultaneous sessions" (defined as the use of a single dial-up account on the Service by two or more modems at the same time) unless permitted for your service level.


Infringement
You agree to post, upload or transmit on or through the Service only material that is not subject to any third party rights or material for which you have obtained from the owner of the rights in such material the express authorization to distribute the material on or through the Service. Any violation may result in civil or criminal liability.

Illegal Activity (including Claims of Copyright Infringement)
Internet access and all other services provided to Juno subscribers may be used for lawful purposes only, and use of the Juno service for the transmission or storage of any information, data or material in violation of any federal or state regulation or law is strictly prohibited. Juno may terminate the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others or otherwise violate the law. Notification of claimed copyright infringement or any other illegal activity should be sent to:




If you believe that content on the Service constitutes an infringement of copyright, you must provide Juno with the following:
  1. a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
  2. a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
  3. a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service;
  4. your address, telephone number and email address;
  5. a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or the law; and
  6. a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information you have provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
