<img style="border: 0pt none;" alt="" src="https://itxdesign.com/images/policies_spam_header.gif" width="216" height="22" border="0" />
The sending of unsolicited emails, or spamming, is prohibited on all ITX Design, LLC servers. You are responsible for all email addresses associated with your account and for all emails that are sent through your domain. Any account found in violation of our no-tolerance spam policy will be immediately terminated without warning.

Our AUP requires that all mass mailings be sent to closed-loop, or double opt-in recipients only. A closed-loop opt-in system consists of sending the opt-in recipient a single confirmation email at the time of sign-up, which they must act upon before being added to that list. If a recipient does not confirm their subscription, they should be sent no further messages.

This method of mass mailing is required per our AUP, and will also ensure that mailings are being sent only to recipients that genuinely wish to receive them, reducing the number of complaints.

If you fail to abide by these policies and your account is terminated for spamming there is a termination fee of $175 for shared accounts and $300 for dedicated servers. This cost covers the hours that are required to terminate the server and contact all of the primary email providers to ensure the server isn't blacklisted. If you are terminated for spamming your account will be removed without warning and all of your files will be deleted. The termination fee is then automatically charged to the credit card that was on file for your account.
