If you SEND spam, this spam cleanup fee WILL be applied and enforced.

may be by first-class mail or by e-mail) from you at least 30 days prior
to end of your monthly billing period, or the Service will be provided
and charged to you for the following month. Termination at any point
during a billing period does not entitle you to a refund of any payment
already made to SpeedyQuick for that billing period.

comply with these Terms and Policies, as well as the applicable rules,
regulations and policies of any network, bulletin board, newsgroup, web
