Unsolicited Communications

You and/or your End-Users may not use your service to send email or any other communications to a person who has indicated that they do not wish to receive it.

Newsgroup, Chat Forums, Other Networks

You and/or your End-Users must comply with the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group or other forum in which you participate, including their rules for content and commercial postings.

It is intlx Solutions’s policy to terminate in appropriate circumstances the services of customers who are repeat infringers.

Shared Systems

You and/or your End-Users may not use any shared system provided by intlx Solutions in a way that unnecessarily interferes with the normal operation of the shared system, or that consumes a disproportionate share of the resources of the system. For example, we may prohibit the automated or scripted use of intlx Solutions email services if it has a negative impact on the mail system, or we may require you to repair coding abnormalities in your code if it unnecessarily conflicts with other customers’ use of the services. You agree that we may quarantine or delete any data stored on a shared system if the data is infected with a virus, or is otherwise corrupted, and has the potential to infect or corrupt the system or other customers’ data that is stored on the same system.

Use of Services Outside the United States

Although we encourage you and your End-Users to use of the Service to place calls to foreign countries from within the United States, we do not presently offer or support the Service in any countries other than the United States and Canada. If you or your End-Users use the Service outside of the United States or Canada, you and/or such End-Users will be solely responsible for any violations of local laws and regulations resulting from such use.
