HCCS specifically does not authorize the use of its proprietary computers, servers, routers and computer network (the "HCCS Property") to accept, transmit or distribute unsolicited bulk e-mail sent from the Internet to others. It is also a violation of HCCS policy, and the law, to send or cause to be sent to, or through, HCCS Property email that makes use of or contains invalid or forged headers, invalid or non-existent domain names or other means of deceptive addressing. HCCS considers such email to be unlawful and a violation of our policy, and any attempt to send or cause such email to be sent to, or through, HCCS Property is unauthorized. Moreover, any email relayed from a third party's mail servers without the permission of that third party, or any email that hides or obscures, or attempts to hide or obscure, the source of an email also constitutes an unauthorized use of HCCS Property. Email sent or caused to be sent to HCCS Property that violates any agreement with HCCS is also unauthorized.

HCCS reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available to prevent unsolicited bulk email or other unauthorized email from entering, utilizing or remaining within HCCS Property. Such action may include, without limitation, the use of filters or other network devices, immediate termination of HCCS service, and prosecution of offenders through criminal or civil proceedings. Nothing in this policy shall be construed to grant any right to transmit or send email to, or through, HCCS Property, and in no event shall any failure by HCCS to enforce this policy constitute a waiver of HCCS' rights.

Unauthorized use of HCCS Property in connection with the transmission of unsolicited bulk email, including the transmission of counterfeit email, may result in civil and criminal penalties against the sender, including those provided by the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (18 U.S.C. § 1030 et seq.); and various state laws.
