Black Listing

"IP Black Listing" is an occurrence when a third party black listing service determines that a Siphon issued IP address is a frequent source of Unsolicited E-mail or other digital communications. Black Listings result in the IP address (or multiple IP addresses in the same "IP range") being unable to be effectively used with certain third parties. Siphon has designed this portion of this Agreement to comply with the United States CAN-SPAM Act (the "Act".) The Act states that commercial E-mail or other digital communications must be solicited, an effective, visible and clearly defined un-subscription process be in place, that every E-mail message or other digital communications sent be sent from a valid address, without any form of IP or source spoofing, that every E-mail message or other digital communications sent contain the physical contact information of the sender, that every recipient of such E-mail messages or other digital communications has requested to receive such E-mails or other digital communications and that the messages and method in which they were sent comply with the other provisions of the United States CAN-SPAM Act.

Zero Tolerance for Black Listing

Siphon has a Zero Tolerance policy regarding Black Listings and considers any attempt to send Unsolicited E-mail Messages or other forms of Spam E-mail (including "Spamvertising" other websites or services or products) or other digital communications to be violations of this Agreement. If an IP address assigned to You is found to be Black Listed, Siphon reserves the right to discontinue your services immediately with or without warning. Furthermore Siphon will levy a Black Listing processing fee of $5000 for the first instance of IP Black Listing and $10000 for the second instance of IP Black Listing (collectively, the "Penalties".) If your service is terminated under the this policy then you forfeit all fees paid, including pre-paid fees and unused time. All fees paid become non-refundable. Further, account termination does not absolve or nullify Penalty payments you may owe to Siphon. Further, you may accumulate additional Penalties based on complaints received after your termination. This section of the Agreement will survive for a period of one year after this agreement is terminated.
