How We Define Spam

We define spam as the sending of Unsolicited Commercial Email (UCE), Unsolicited Bulk Email (UBE) or Unsolicited Facsimiles (Fax), which is email or facsimile sent to recipients as an advertisement or otherwise, without first obtaining prior confirmed consent to receive these communications from the sender. This can include, but is not limited to, the following:

1. Email Messages
2. Newsgroup postings
3. Windows system messages
4. Pop-up messages (aka "adware" or "spyware" messages)
5. Instant messages (using AOL, MSN, Yahoo or other instant messenger programs)
6. Online chat room advertisements
7. Guestbook or Website Forum postings
8. Facsimile Solicitations

What We Allow and Don't Allow

We will not allow our servers and services to be used for the purposes described above. In order to use our products and services, you must not only abide by all applicable laws and regulations, which include the Can-Spam Act of 2003 and the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, but you must also abide by TexasRef.com's no spam policies. Commercial advertising and/or bulk emails or faxes may only be sent to recipients who have already "opted-in" to receive messages from the sender specifically. They must include a legitimate return address and reply-to address, the sender's physical address, and an opt-out method in the footer of the email or fax. Upon request by TexasRef.com , conclusive proof of opt-in may be required for an email address or fax number.

What We Do

If TexasRef.com determines that the services in question are being used in association with spam, TexasRef.com will re-direct, suspend, or cancel any directory listing or other applicable services for a period of no less than 2 days. The registrant or customer will be required to respond by email to TexasRef.com stating that they will cease to send spam and/or have spam sent on their behalf. TexasRef.com will require a non-refundable reactivation fee to be paid before the site, email boxes and/or services are reactivated. In the event that TexasRef.com determines the abuse has not stopped after services have been restored the first time, TexasRef.com may terminate the directory listing in question. To Report Spam Abuse: We encourage all customers and recipients of email generated from our products and services to report suspected spam. Suspected abuse can be reported by email or through our Spam Abuse Compliant Center on the Web.
