    a) to generate or facilitate unsolicited bulk commercial email (spamming);

    a) child pornography or depictions of children and young people in an unnatural sexual pose including virtual depictions thereof;
    b)

The Customer must respond to this communication within 48 hours, unless a shorter response time is required (and in such circumstances euNetworks will specify the response time required).
    b) Within its response, the Customer must state how it will remedy the alleged breach of sections 5 or 6 and when it will do so.
    c) The Customer will provide euNetworks with evidence that the breach has been remedied within the deadline proposed by the Customer in its response Where required by third parties or otherwise appropriate, euNetworks may make the provision of Services dependent on the execution of a cease and desist declaration or evidence that a Customer’s own customer has been permanently excluded from using the services where this Customer’s customer was responsible for the breach.
