Pioneer does not allow our users to send out unsolicited e-mails, it does not matter if they are being sent to an opt-in list or not. Our servers are setup to handle the normal load of personal and business transactions, not for commercial e-mailing. When our users send mass e-mail it places a tremendous load on the servers and reduces performance for all other users. I know every user receives a lot of Spam daily and Pioneer does not want to add to this situation. There appears to be several programs available to send out Spam and they come with lists of e-mail addresses. Most of these programs claim the users that are included with the program want to receive Spam, so feel free to mail them. This is a violation of our e-mail policy and can result in account termination. Please note that Spam can be 1 piece of mail or hundreds, quantity does not matter.

PIONEER WILL NOT AUTOMATICALLY DISCONNECT YOU after a certain amount of idle time. IT IS YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO DISCONNECT when you are done using the system.

This agreement represents the complete agreement and understanding between Pioneer Internet Connection and the account holder with respect to the subject matter herein, and supersedes any other written or oral agreement.
