(the" Service "or the" Services") described in this page.
The term "registered member" is defined as any electronic mail
address and associated data that has either registered with
ZOOMGROUPS or subscribed to any of
the groups or blogs hosted at ZOOMGROUPS, even if such registration
was made without prior formal registration.

the service site and/or are a registered member.

be honored.
- Unsolicited Email
2.1 . -
It is strictly prohibited to use the Services offered by
AR NETWORKS for the creation of distribution lists (groups) in order to send
unsolicited email of any type. To this effect, it is understood by unsolicited
email or unsolicited messages, any email message sent to any person who has not explicitly expressed
they would like to receive such messages, by means of a confirmation
process (commonly denominated "confirmation opt-in" or "double opt-in").
Any action in violation of this clause is considered unauthorized access
to our network systems and resources.
2.2 . -
It is also prohibited the promotion of groups or content hosted at ZOOMGROUPS by
means of the delivery of unsolicited messages. This
includes advertising messages, unsolicited invitations and other
methods.
2.3 . -
The delivery of unsolicited advertising
messages to members or groups hosted at ZOOMGROUPS is also prohibited. To that
effect, sending unsolicited email to ZOOMGROUPS is considered unauthorized access
to our network systems and resources. The only exception is when the group
administrator of a particular group has clearly specified in advance
that such messages are allowed in that particular group.
2.4 . -
It is strictly forbidden to use techniques or tricks
to evade technical and social anti-spam protection systems,
including but not limiting to the acts of subscribing to a
group, sending an advertising message and unsubscribe
afterwards; changing the email address in order to circumvent
an email block; the massive subscription to groups with the main purpose of
sending one or several messages to such groups, or the mass-delivery
of messages to one or more groups, among others.
As in clauses 2.1 and 2.3, any action in violation of this clause is
considered unauthorized access to our computer systems and resources.
2.5 . -
CAN-SPAM Act. -
When someone sends a message to a group hosted at ZOOMGROUPS,
such message delivery is meant to be used for redistributing the message
to the members of the group.
That is, ZOOMGROUPS servers act as relay or retransmission servers of email
messages, not as mail servers for individual email accounts.
Since, per these terms of services, the sending of unsolicited email
as defined in clauses 2.1 to 2.4 of these Terms is not authorized,
any unsolicited email message sent to any group hosted at ZOOMGROUPS
is in direct violation of Sections 104(a)(2) and
105(b)(3) of the S.877 CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, and ZOOMGROUPS will, at its own
discretion pursue civil liability charges against the initial sender of the
electronic mail advertisement and recover damages as specified
in Section 107(f)(1), 107(f)(2) and 107(f)(3) of the S.877
CAN-SPAM Act of 2003.

is prohibited.
2.7 . -
It is strictly prohibited to use the name, brand names, email
addresses, titles or positions of AR NETWORKS in messages or
publications
not managed directly by AR NETOWKRS, especially if the use of such names could
be interpreted as if AR NETWORKS was the original
author of such publications. If the distribution of the content is
carried out by an organization other than AR NETWORKS,
it is also prohibited using the name, brand names, email addresses,
titles or positions of AR NETWORKS if such use could
be interpreted as if AR NETWORKS is the originator of such
distribution.
