SECURITY.
You must take reasonable security precautions in light of your use of LDP services. You are solely responsible for any breaches of security affecting the servers under your control. You must protect the confidentiality of your password(s), and you should change your password(s) periodically.
A compromised server is potentially disruptive to LDP’s and LDP’s agents’ network. Therefore LDP or LDP’s agents may take your server off line if it is accessed or manipulated by third party without your consent.

BULK or COMMERCIAL E-MAIL.
You must comply with the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and other laws and regulations applicable to bulk or commercial e-mail. In addition, you must obtain LDP’s advance approval for any bulk commercial e-mail, which will not be given unless you are able to demonstrate all of the following to LDP’s reasonable satisfaction:
  • Your intended recipients have given their consent to receive e-mail via some affirmative means, such as an opt-in procedure;
  • Your procedures for soliciting consent include reasonable means to ensure that the person giving consent is the owner of the e-mail address for which the consent is given;
  • You retain evidence of the recipient's consent in a form that may be promptly produced on request, and you honor recipient's and LDP’s requests to produce consent evidence within 72 hours of receipt of the request.
  • The body of the e-mail must describe how the e-mail address was obtained, for example, “The recipient has opted in to receive this e-mail promotion from our Web site or from one of our partner sites,” and information on how to request evidence of the consent, for example, “If you would like to learn more about how we received your e-mail address please contact us at abc@xyz.com.”
  • You have procedures in place that allow a recipient to easily revoke their consent, such as a link in the body of the e-mail, or instructions to reply with the word “Remove” or “Unsubscribe” in the subject line. Revocations of consent are honored within 72 hours, and you notify recipients that their revocation of their consent will be honored in 72 hours;
  • You must have a Privacy Policy posted for each domain associated with the mailing;
  • You have the means to track anonymous complaints; and
  • You may not obscure the source of your e-mail in any manner. Your e-mail must include the recipients e-mail address in the body of the message or in the “To” line of the e-mail.
These policies apply to messages sent using your LDP service, or to messages sent from any network by you or any person on your behalf that directly or indirectly refer the recipient to a site hosted via your LDP service. In addition, you may not use a third party e-mail service that does not practice similar procedures for all its customers.

LDP or its agents may test and otherwise monitor your compliance with its requirements, including requesting opt-in information from a random sample of your list at any time.

NEWSGROUPS, CHAT FORUMS, OTHER NETWORKS.
You must comply with the rules and conventions for postings to any bulletin board, chat group or other forum in which you participate, such as IRC and USENET groups including their rules for content and commercial postings. These groups usually prohibit the posting of off-topic commercial messages, or mass postings to multiple forums.

You must comply with the rules of any other network you access or participate in using your LDP services.
