Privacy policy
Your privacy is important to us. If you communicate with us, we will not sell your e-mail address or send you spam. We do reserve the right to post correspondence on the web, if it seems appropriate to do so.We do make occasional reference to activity on e-mail lists, including quotations. When we do so, we attempt to properly attribute it in order to give you credit. We usually don't ask for explicit permission for these, because publication on a mailing list implies that a broad readership is desired. If you object to such a quote of yours, please contact us.
No spam
Some of the Wolfstone web pages contain e-mail addresses, computer network addresses or other contact information. The contact information may be for Wolfstone, our associates, or other parties. We will refer to all of this as "Wolfstone contact information". Wolfstone contact information is a valuable resource, so we have special rules about its use.- Wolfstone contact information is not to be used to send unsolicited commercial messages,
often referred to as "spam".
Neither is Wolfstone contact information to be used to send unsolicited political or
charity solicitation messages.
We specifically prohibit the use of web-crawling programs that harvest e-mail addresses for spamming.
- We also prohibit the use of Wolfstone contact information in falsified return-address
and routing information on messages of any sort, including but not limited to
unsolicited commercial, political, or charity solicitation messages.
Please be aware that we will ask the Court for the following:
-
Wolfstone contact information is valuable, and your use of it requires compensation to us.
In addition to compensation, we will ask for punitive damages for having violated
the Terms of Service.
-
In the event that you use Wolfstone contact information to send
unsolicited commercial, political, or charity solicitation messages,
we will assert a value of $100,000 for each instance of each message sent.
-
In the event that you use Wolfstone contact information in falsified return-address
and routing information on messages of any sort,
we will assert a value of $1,000,000 for each instance of each message sent.
[We'll also look into criminal charger of forgery and wire fraud.]
-
The value is for "each instance of each message sent",
where "instance" is defined as a message addressed to a recipient, and does
not refer to technical things as count of files sent or computer communication protocols used.
Thus, if a single message were sent, addressed to 50 different people, it would count as 50 instances.
-
We have documented the value we place on Wolfstone contact information,
and our intention to seek compensation for its use.
Knowing this, if you use Wolfstone contact information anyway, you are indicating
that it is worth the value we are placing on it.
-
The valuable resource of Wolfstone contact information has been used
whether or not the recipient reads or even receives the message.
The mere use of the address in sending e-mail requires compensation.
-
We take no responsibility for the accuracy or timeliness of Wolfstone contact information.
-
We will ask for any and all costs associated with collecting payment,
including court costs, attorney's fees, and expert witness compensation, if any.
-
Compensation is due and payable at the time that the messages are sent.
We will ask the Court for interest.
-
The suit will name all parties associated with the messages
being sent.
Thus if company X undertakes a mailing campaign, contracted by advertising company Y, on behalf of a product sold by company Z,
we believe that X, Y, and Z are all jointly responsible for the use of Wolfstone contact information.
