Here is specific information on Enter.Net’s policy with respect to mass email mailings, multiple Usenet News postings and other mass unsolicited communications – these are all commonly known as SPAM.

The Internet user community does not welcome unsolicited email from any source. This “junk email” is commonly referred to as “SPAM”. In addition to SPAM, multiple postings of the same information to many Usenet Newsgroups and advertising in most of the Usenet Newsgroups are also unwelcome.

If you are receiving SPAM, you may be able to set up filters on your email or news reader that will help to minimize the unwanted SPAM. Enter.Net’s engineering and network operations center has attempted to minimize the quantity of SPAM being received by our email and news systems. Unfortunately, there is no way to totally eliminate SPAM technically, and the laws for junk email are only forming as of today. The best way to deal with SPAM is to simply delete the email or offending message and move on. Never retaliate against a SPAMMER destructively- this will only make the situation worse and your retaliation may be very illegal as it can cause damage to Enter.Net networks and other networks or systems.

Specifically:

  • Enter.Net does not allow our network resources to be used by anyone to email or mass-email using Enter.Net’s mail servers any user or groups of users especially those that have not indicated a willingness to receive such mailings.
  • Enter.Net does not allow websites that have been infected or compromised in any way to remain active on our servers. Leaving the infected website active on the servers could affect our client websites as well as the performance of the server itself. It is up to the customer to either engage Enter.net or another party to remove all infected files when possible. If the infected are unable to be removed/cleaned due to age or other circumstances, the customer may update to a newer website or move their website to another provider. Enter.net is not responsible for any loss of data or downtime.
  • Enter.Net does not provide training, walk-throughs, or lessons on updating and maintaining customer’s websites. Upon websites “going live” Enter.net will provide the website login and along with basic “how-to” instructions. Enter.net may provide a maintenance plan to customer for additional fees.
  • Enter.Net does not allow our systems to be used for RELAY from non-Enter.Net customers or networks.
  • Enter.Net does not knowingly allow our systems to be used for any activity that is illegal.
  • Enter.Net does not allow customers or other networks’ connections to consume excessive resources from our systems.
  • Enter.Net does not allow our customers to use other providers’ mail servers to relay any type of email without the express consent of that provider.

ALL Enter.Net dial-up, direct connect Internet accounts and customer web pages cannot be used for mass emailing of any type using Enter.Net’s mail servers. Mass emailing is defined as the sending of any number of messages to random email addresses, or the running of any mailing list, whether or not the list of recipients are willing to receive such mailings. If you wish to run a responsible mailing list of any type, please call Enter.Net at 610-437-2221 for information on that optional service. If we find a violation of the above utilizing Enter.Net’s mail servers, Enter.Net has the right to immediately suspend that customer’s account without prior notice or warning.

YOU MAY PAY YOUR INVOICE BY CHECK, OR, IF NOTICE OF CANCELLATION IS NOT RECEIVED, WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CREDIT OR DEBIT CARD ON THE DUE DATE, IF ON FILE, OR BILL YOU, FOR AN ADDITIONAL BILLING TERM.

Also Enter.net offers DNS “Domain Name Service” for a fee if applicable.

General Policies

Censorship: Enter.Net has a policy of no-censorship, either from or to our systems, UNLESS, the information transmitted is illegal or is clearly used for fraud. The “warez” and “crack” Usenet news groups are an example of this. (Enter.Net does not carry the warez or crack groups).

User Transmitted Content: You are solely responsible for the information you publish over the Internet, either via email, Netnews, your personal web pages, or other service. You must not infringe on any third party’s copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights of publicity or privacy. You must not violate any law, statute, ordinance, or regulation. You must not be defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening or unlawfully harassing. The information you transmit should not be obscene or illegal based upon any Federal, State or Local laws. The information you transmit must not intentionally contain viruses, Trojan horses, worms, time bombs, cancelbots, or other computer programming routines that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data, or personal information.

Account Usage: Your account is for your exclusive and individual use only; multiple concurrent logins of the same account are not allowed. Beyond the fact that allowing others to use your account is prohibited, consider that you become responsible for the back charges incurred by someone else that you have allowed to use your account. For this reason you must protect your account and password as you would any other personal resource such as your telephone or credit card number.

Resource Usage: No communications system has unlimited resources and we expect you to act responsibly when consuming resources on our system. The Resource Usage policy applies to any and all Enter.Net resources used by our Customers, including the size of your email box. Further, Customers using Enter.Net Personal “On-Demand” dial-up analog modem or ISDN accounts may not run any servers, such as HTTP, FTP or MAIL, IRC, QUAKE or GAME servers. Excessive concurrent processes or processes which continue after you have logged off are prohibited. Our servers automatically end long idle calls, and during peak times you can expect minimum allowed idle time of at least 20 minutes. Users that stay connected for more than 6 (six) continuous hours may be subject to automatic disconnection. If this should occur while you are still on-line and interactively using the Internet, simply re-dial and login again. No connection may be used for more than 12 continuous hours – this is called “hanging” and Enter.Net considers this an excessive use of our resources. If you consume excessive resources on our system we may suspend your access at any time without prior notice.

Email Delivery and Sending: Enter.Net is not responsible or liable for any lost or delayed email if you are using Enter.Net’s email system. Enter.Net is not responsible or liable for any lost or delayed contact form submissions. Enter.net is not responsible for any missed deliveries due to your spam folder/filters. It is the responsibility of the customer to check from time to time that their email is properly working as well as their website form including employment application forms, etc. Enter.Net does not allow the storing of mail on its servers and it is your responsibility to make sure that an email program is configured correctly to download the mail. It is your responsibility to setup all mail accounts for the domain name, or verify that the accounts are setup properly on your computer. Enter.Net is not responsible for any third parties preventing email to be delivered by or to Enter.Net’s servers. On occasion, Enter.net does offer and allow email hosting without a website hosting agreement for non-commercial use however, Enter.net offers very limited tech support.

Email Tech Support: Enter.net is not responsible for third-party mail programs such as Outlook, Gmail, Thunderbird, etc. It is you responsibility to properly set up your email program and keep it in good working condition. Enter.net is not responsible for any updates or changes made by the third-party software company. It is your responsibility to consult with a third-party tech support such as Best Buy, Computer Warehouse, or the company providing the email program.

Email Storage: It is the responsibility of the Customer to permanently store, save or retain any email messages that are desirable to save and keep. The size of your incoming email temporary storage at Enter.Net is very liberal but not unlimited in size. Most Customers will never exceed the limits under normal use. However, excessively large temporary email boxes create a Resource Usage problem and violate our AUP. To avoid this, Customers may not use Enter.Net’s email servers for permanent or long-term storage. Customer Support at Enter.Net will assist you in configuring your email client NOT to store messages on Enter.Net’s servers; instead to store those message locally on your computer. Please call Customer Support at 610-437-2221 for more information. If you begin to have an email box that is too large, you will receive an automatic message that asks you to clean-up (move or delete old mail) your email box. Again Enter.Net’s Customer Service can help you with this simple procedure. If you ignore the warning message, Enter.Net’s mail server will stop delivering email to your account until you reduce the size of your email box.

  • How much storage is allowed? At least 5 Mb per email account which is plenty for all normal uses. The email system is purposely designed to occasionally allow you to temporarily exceed this limit for short periods of time. As long as you cleanup your email box regularly, you’ll never have a storage problem.

PLEASE NOTE: the size of your email box is a resource that falls under the Resource Usage policy, above. Security: Enter.Net actively and automatically monitors all of our systems for attempts at breaching our security or the security of our customers, or attempts to access systems or resources that are not available for customers to use or access. This is commonly known as “hacking”. Any attempt to access or modify unauthorized computer system information or to interfere with normal system operations, whether on the equipment of Enter.Net or of any computer system or network that is accessed by our services, will result in immediate and permanent cancellation of your account and may also lead to other legal proceedings against you.

  • ANY INDIVIDUAL FOUND ENGAGED IN UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ATTEMPTING UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO Enter.Net OR Enter.Net CUSTOMER EQUIPMENT WILL HAVE THEIR ACCOUNT IMMEDIATELY TERMINATED AND THE INCIDENT REPORTED TO THE ALLENTOWN BUREAU OF THE FBI.
  • UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS OR ATTEMPTS AT UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS ORIGINATING FROM Enter.Net CORPORATE CLIENT NETWORKS WILL BE REPORTED TO THE CORPORATE CLIENT. CORPORATE CLIENTS MUST ACT IN GOOD FAITH TO IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE SUCH ACCESS OR ATTEMPTS AT ACCESS, OR FACE TERMINATION OF THE CORPORATE ACCOUNT AND REPORTING OF THE INCIDENT(S) TO THE ALLENTOWN BUREAU OF THE FBI.

Examples of security actions that will trigger security alarms at Enter.Net’s 24 hour / 7 day staffed network operations center are, but are not limited to:

  • Satan or port scans, full, half, fin or stealth

  • Vulnerability probing of any kind on any machines or devices.

  • SNMP attempts
  • Mail host relay use or hi-jacking

  • Telnet, FTP, Rcommands, etc. to internal systems

  • Attempts to access privileged or private TCP or UDP ports

  • HTTP access without the use of a Web browser

  • Multiple and frequent Finger attempts

  • Excessive resource utilization

  • Source route spoofing

  • Smurf attacks

  • IP number spoofing or masquerading

  • Forging TCP packets or email header information

  • Syn Floods

  • OOB attacks

  • Password cracking or guessing schemes

  • Excessive email postings (SPAM)

Enter.Net records the complete session of security breach attempts such as those mentioned above, and will forward this information on to the authorities during our investigations. Enter.Net takes security very seriously in order to ensure that you and all of our customers can enjoy a safe and productive Internet environment. NONE OF THE ABOVE-MENTIONED SECURITY PROBLEMS ARE EVER ACCIDENTAL, AND NORMAL USE OF INTERNET SOFTWARE SUCH AS BROWSERS AND EMAIL PROGRAMS WILL NEVER CAUSE A PROBLEM. ALL OF THE ABOVE ACTIONS ARE DELIBERATE AND INTENTIONAL AND IN MANY CASES REQUIRE SOPHISTICATED PROGRAMS AND KNOWLEDGE.
