very strongly that the sending of unsolicited bulk email ("spamming")
constitutes theft of service, and we do not condone the use
of our service for this purpose. If we receive complaints
that a redirect url has been used for this purpose, we will
investigate the complaints and take legal action against the
owner of this url. We will redirect all url's used in spam
or such bulk mail solicitations to http://www.hotredirect.com/spam.htm.

harassing, libelous, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar,
or otherwise objectionable material of any kind or nature.
Member further agrees not to transmit any material that encourages
conduct that could constitute a criminal offense, give rise
to civil liability or otherwise violate any applicable local,
state, national or international law or regulation. Attempts
to gain unauthorized access to other computer systems are
prohibited. Member shall not interfere with another Member's
use and enjoyment of the Service or another entity's use and
enjoyment of similar services. HotRedirect Services may, at
its sole discretion, immediately terminate Service should
Member's conduct fail to conform with these terms and conditions
of the TS.
