Email, Spam, and USENET It is explicitly prohibited for any User or other party to use the Aflexi network for the sending of bulk unsolicited commercial email (spam) or multiple USENET (newsgroup) postings. It is also prohibited for any User or other party to use a third-party network not under the control of Aflexi for the purposes of sending or relaying spam or multiple USENET postings that advertise or refer recipients of the spam or USENET posting to any content that is stored, delivered, or otherwise made available on the Aflexi network. Furthermore, it is explicitly prohibited to send email messages with forged email header information or messages that otherwise indicate that Aflexi was involved in the transmission of such material.

Reporting AUP Violations and Aflexi Remedies It is the responsibility of User to immediately take action to prevent any known or suspected AUP violations and immediately report the violation to Aflexi.

Aflexi will attempt to provide notice to User if Aflexi deems it necessary to suspend or terminate a service, but Aflexi reserves the right to suspend or terminate a service immediately without notice to User if Aflexi, at its sole discretion, determines that the violation is harming Aflexi's service, network, customers, and/or users.
