Violation of the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991, or any state or federal law regulating email or SMS services, constitutes an automatic violation of these Wi-Fi Terms and EPSG reserves the right to seek damages and other available relief against you, as applicable. Examples of such violations include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

• sending unsolicited electronic mail messages and "mail-bombing" (sending mass unsolicited email or SMS messages to a single user, or group of users, commercial or otherwise, or deliberately sending very large attachments to one recipient);

• using another site's mail server to relay mail without the express permission of the site;

• using another computer, without authorization, to send multiple email or SMS messages or to retransmit email or SMS messages for the purpose of misleading recipients as to the origin;

• collecting the responses from unsolicited electronic messages;

• maintaining a site that is advertised via unsolicited electronic messages, regardless of the origin of the unsolicited electronic messages;

• spamming, or sending unsolicited commercial email or SMS, sending unsolicited electronic messages with petitions for signatures, or any chain mail related materials, or requests for charitable donations;

• sending messages that are harassing or malicious, or otherwise could reasonably be predicted to interfere with another party's quiet enjoyment of the Service or the Internet (e.g., through language, frequency, size or otherwise);

• sending bulk (i.e., twenty-five or more recipients) electronic messages without identifying, within the message, a reasonable means of opting out from receiving additional messages from the sender;

• using distribution lists containing addresses that include those who have opted out;

• sending electronic messages that do not accurately identify the sender, the sender's return address, the email address of origin, or other information contained in the subject line or header;

• forging headers or identifiers in order to disguise the origin of email;

• use of redirect links in unsolicited commercial email or SMS to advertise a website or service;

• posting a single message, or messages to online forums or newsgroups, that could reasonably be expected to provoke complaints;

• posting messages to or canceling or superseding messages on an online forum or newsgroup in a manner that violates the rules of the forum or newsgroup or that contain forged header information;

• sending bulk electronic messages in quantities that exceed standard industry norms or that create the potential for disruption of the EPSG network or of the networks with which EPSG interconnects;

• intercepting, redirecting or otherwise interfering or attempting to interfere with email intended for other parties;

• knowingly deleting any author attributions, legal notices or proprietary designations or labels in a file that the user mails or sends; and

• using, distributing, advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available any software program, product, or service that is designed to violate these Wi-Fi Terms or the terms of use of any other Internet Service Provider, including, but not limited to, the facilitation of the means to spam.

Because spam-related damages are often difficult to quantify, in those cases where the actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated, EPSG reserves the right to seek from you liquidated damages in the amount of five dollars (USD $5.00) for each piece of 'spam' or unsolicited bulk email transmitted from or otherwise connected with your account, in addition to any other rights and remedies EPSG may have in contract, law and equity.

• intercepting, interfering with or redirecting email intended for third parties, or any form of network monitoring, scanning or probing, or other action for the unauthorized interception of data or harvesting of email addresses or mobile phone numbers;

• hacking - attempting to attack, breach, circumvent or test the vulnerability of the user authentication or security of any host, network, server, personal computer, network access and control devices, software or data without express authorization of the owner of the system or network;

• impersonating others in order to obtain another user's account password or other personal information;

• using the Service to deliver spyware, or secretly or deceptively obtain the personal information of third parties (phishing, etc.), or engage in modem hi-jacking;

• using any program, file, script, command or the transmission of any message or content of any kind, designed to interfere with a terminal session or the access or use of the Internet or any other means of communication;

• distributing or using tools designed to compromise security, including cracking tools, password guessing programs, packet sniffers or network probing tools (except in the case of authorized legitimate network security operations);

• unauthorized monitoring of data or traffic on any network or system without express authorization of the owner of the system or network, including without limitation use of sniffers or SNMP tools;
