Abuse Policy
ZingaWEB.net is
committed to serving
its customers and
preserving the
integrity of the
Internet by
following widely
accepted guidelines
of Internet
communication.
Abusive practices
are strictly
prohibited on
ZingaWEB.net network.
We are available to
assist you in any
way possible should
you need advice
about proper use of
Internet resources
or should you become
the target of abuse
via the Internet.
Violation of the
Abuse Policy may
result in immediate
account termination
and forfeiture of
any fees.
We deal with two
different types of
abuse:
|
Abuse
ON the net
|
Abuse ON the
net refers
to actions
that would
violate the
laws, norms,
customs or
manners
independent
of the
medium
chosen to
carry out
the action.
Acts which
are
considered
abusive if
carried out
via paper
mail,
telephone,
personal
contact,
fax, etc.,
fall into
this
category.
Abuse ON the
net is
mainly
concerned
with the
content
and/or
intent of
communication.
Examples
include
fraud,
assault,
harassment,
stalking,
forgery,
obscene
communication,
child
pornography,
copyright
infringement
and unlawful
distribution
of
intellectual
property.
|
|
Abuse
OF the net
|
Abuse OF the
net refers
to actions
which
interfere
with the
normal
functionality
of the
network.
Examples
include
excessive
multi
posting or
cross
posting of
USENET
articles,
unsolicited
broadcast
email
(“spam” and
“velveeta”),
mailbombing,
denial of
service or
security
related
attacks. We
also
consider
“camping,”
or using an
ZingaWEB.net
dial-up
account for
dedicated
access,
abuse of the
net. Some of
these
activities
may be
actionable
under
criminal and
civil
statutes. |
General
Guidelines for all
Abuse matters
Innocent Until
Proven Guilty
Experience shows
that a significant
percentage of abuse
reports are either
erroneous or are
intended to harm the
alleged perpetrator.
Administrative or
disciplinary action
will not be
initiated without
evidence which
unambiguously
identifies the
account responsible
for the alleged
abuse.
Customer
Privacy Is Paramount
Information about
customers of
ZingaWEB.net will not be
released, except to
duly authorized
officers of the
state and federal
courts or
investigatory
authorities who
present the proper
legal documents and
except as otherwise
set forth in this
policy and in our
Acceptable Use
Policy. Information
concerning accounts
involved in alleged
offenses will not be
released to the
complainant nor to
the press. See our
Privacy Policy.
Guidelines for
Abuse ON the Net
In general, we do
not review or
monitor the contents
of our customers’
communications.
However, when
abusive content is
brought to our
attention, we will
cooperate as
necessary with law
enforcement
authorities within
the appropriate
legal boundaries and
dispose of the
matter in accordance
with ZingaWEB.net policies
and any additional
constraints imposed
by law. If illegal
content is reported
as originating from
our system, we will
delete the file and
report the action to
the appropriate
victims and/or law
enforcement. If
illegal content
which originated
from outside is
reported on our
system, we will
delete the file from
public access,
archive the item for
law enforcement, and
report the action to
the originating
system's
administrators.
Guidelines for
Abuse OF the Net
ZingaWEB.net is a
commercial
enterprise. Our
customers pay us for
services rendered.
To provide those
services,
ZingaWEB.net establishes
and maintains a
significant
investment in
people, equipment
and software. We are
obligated to
maintain our systems
to meet the
standards set by our
customers, our
investors and the
global Internet
community.
Attacks
Accounts used to
carry out attacks
(mailbombs, network
transport attacks,
newsgroup flooding)
will be closed
immediately upon
authorization by a
designated member of
the staff of
ZingaWEB.net. If
compelling evidence
suggests that the
security of the
account was
compromised and that
the attack was not
carried out by the
holder of the
account then at the
discretion of
ZingaWEB.net, the
account may be
reinstated with a
different
username/password.
Spam
A single,
substantiated
complaint of email
broadcasting will
result in the
suspension of the
account determined
to be responsible
for the email. For
first offenses, the
customer will be
contacted, the Abuse
Policy will be
explained and the
customer will be
asked to abide by
this policy. At the
discretion of
ZingaWEB.net, a
customer's account
may be reactivated
following the
customer contact and
the customer's
agreement to abide
by our Abuse Policy.
Upon any subsequent
offense, the account
will be permanently
closed. In the event
that a customer does
not agree to abide
by our Abuse Policy,
the account will be
permanently closed.
Be aware that this
also applies to
accounts, such as
web sites,
advertised in spam.
For example, if an ZingaWEB.net
customer's web site
is advertised in
spam, even though
the customer did not
send the spam, the
customer has
violated this Abuse
Policy and will be
contacted and/or the
account closed as
set forth above.
In ANY event of
abuse, ZingaWEB.net reserves
the right in its
sole discretion to
immediately
terminate the
account. Accounts
terminated for abuse
issues are not
eligible for
refunds. Moreover,
accounts associated
with abuse will be
responsible for
paying ZingaWEB.net's costs and
expenses of
identifying,
terminating and
correcting such
abuse.
Reporting Abuse
To report any
instance of abuse,
contact:
abuse@zingaweb.net
If you are receiving
unsolicited email,
you may redirect the
mail, along with all
headers to. We will
contact the provider
of the sender's
account. You may
also contact that
provider by sending
email to:
postmaster@providers.name
(insert provider
domain)
Example:
postmaster@zingaweb.net

days of the change.
All accounts are

If you prepay for
six, twelve or

policies). As such,
we will not refund
prepaid accounts.
Activation fees are
not refundable.

$2.50 per
month in

card
transactions

by letter,
email or fax
by the 25th
of the month
prior to the

for any charges
to their

is not
responsible for
any charges or
expenses (e.g
for overdrawn
accounts,
exceeding credit
card limits,
etc.) resulting
from charges
billed by
ZingaWEB.net.
Delinquent
accounts may be
suspended or
canceled at
ZingaWEB.net's sole
discretion;
however, charges
will continue to
accrue until the
account is
canceled.
ZingaWEB.net may
bill an
additional
charge to
reinstate a
suspended
account.
Refunds are
disbursed in the
manner
determined by
ZingaWEB.net
at its
discretion (ie.
check, credit to
credit card or
service credit).
Any incorrectly
issued refunds
will be
recovered by
ZingaWEB.net
in the same
manner as the
refund was
issued. For
example, suppose
ZingaWEB.net
charges your
credit card for
an amount, but
that charge is
subsequently
voided because
you dispute the
charge with your
credit card
company. If
ZingaWEB.net
also issues you
a refund for
that charge (in
the form of a
credit to your
credit card
account),
ZingaWEB.net is
entitled to
recover that
refund by
charging your
credit card
account for the
amount of the
refund. As
stated above
under "Billing
Frequency," if
you prepay for
six, twelve or
twenty-four
months of
service, you
will be provided
service until
the end of your
prepaid term
(subject to
compliance with
our abuse and
other policies).
As such, we will
not refund
prepaid
accounts.
Activation fees
are not
refundable.
Note: Any type
of account
cancelled for a
violation of our
Acceptable Use
Policy or Abuse
Policy is not
eligible for any
type of refund.

refund in the
following
circumstances:
After
installation of
DSL service the
customer is
responsible for
all associated
charges for the
service term.
Setup fees will
not be refunded
for any account
successfully
installed,
regardless of
the time of
cancellation.
Any refunds due
will not be
issued until
customer has
returned any and
all CPE
(Customer
Premises
Equipment) in
accordance with
the process
provided by
ZingaWEB.net.
There is a
restocking fee
charged to the
customer for
returned CPE.
The restocking
fee is $75 for a
DSL modem, and
$125 for a DSL
router.

your DSL order
prior to
installation,
you will be
responsible for
paying
a full months
service
order
cancellation
