Notification and Offer
I do not want to receive uninvited solicitations by email (``Junk Email'').
I am unwilling to receive Junk Email freely because it costs me time and
money. If you send me any Junk Email other than on the terms of the offer
set out in the following nine points, I will take this to mean that you plan
to use what I offered you without paying for it. If you ever try to do this
I reserve my right to take any action available to me without further reference
to you. Actions available to me include taking proceedings against you for
negligence or breach of contract, which may result in substantial damages
being awarded against you by a court. The unauthorized use of my computing
facilities may even be a crime.
- I offer to receive all further email from you on the terms set out
below. If you send me any solicitation by email without my express prior
written consent this will be taken as your acceptance of this offer.
- For the purposes of points 3 and 4, you will be taken to have sent
any email sent by any entity apparently associated with you for the purpose
of sending email solicitations.
- You must pay me fifty US dollars for each such item of email that
you send me.
- You must pay me fifty US dollars for each copy of each email solicitation
that you send to anybody or any email address referred to below, even if
you don't send a copy to me. You may also have to pay other persons as well
if they have sent you a similar offer.
- I may join with any of those persons for the purpose of efficiently
collecting your payments.
- You must mail payment by certified check to me within five working
days of the transmission of the email. If you do not know where to send payment,
you must state this in the email and give me an easy way to tell you.
For your convience you may now also remit payment via my Paypal Account: paul@laughton.com
- Each email item must be uniquely identified, and each payment must
clearly identify the relevant item or items.
- You must tell me your name and full business and residential addresses
in each email message.
- I may vary the terms of or terminate this offer at any time (even
after you have accepted it). Any new terms will apply to all email you send
after you have been notified of a variation.
(Due to increased costs, the per spam payment was rasied from $10 to $50 as of March 18, 2002.)
