Bulk E-Mail and Other Prohibited E-Mail
The American Patriot computer network (which includes, but is not limited to, the technology and applications which support the e-mail functionality American Patriot provides its officers, employees, independent contractor agents, and other authorized users) is the private property of American Patriot.

American Patriot prohibits any bulk e-mail transmissions to be sent, or caused to be sent, over the Internet to ampatriot.com e-mail addresses unless American Patriot, through one of its officers, has specifically requested or authorized the sending of such bulk e-mail. For purposes of these Terms of Use, the word "bulk" shall mean an e-mail message, or group of identical or similar e-mail messages, sent to more than 20 different ampatriot.com addresses in any 24-hour period.

American Patriot prohibits any e-mail transmission to be sent, or caused to be sent, over the Internet to any ampatriot.com e-mail addresses if the e-mail is intended to, or appears intended to, harass, embarrass, threaten, defame or impersonate any person, or if the e-mail is pornographic, offensive, indecent, discriminatory or offensive on the basis of sex, color, national origin, race, age, religion, sexual orientation or disability.

American Patriot prohibits any e-mail transmission to be sent, or caused to be sent, over the Internet to any ampatriot.com e-mail address that makes use of a forged header or deceptive addressing, or which attempts in any manner to disguise the source of the e-mail.

American Patriot prohibits the harvesting or collection of the e-mail addresses of American Patriot agents and/or personal financial representatives from the ampatriot.com web site for the purpose of sending bulk e-mail to ampatriot.com e-mail addresses.

American Patriot reserves the right to take all legal and technical steps available, including pursuing civil remedies and criminal prosecution, to prevent bulk or other prohibited e-mail from entering, utilizing or remaining within the American Patriot computer network.

Nothing in this policy is intended to grant any right to transmit or send e-mail to, or through, the American Patriot computer network. American Patriot's failure to enforce this policy in every instance in which it might have application does not amount to a waiver of American Patriot's rights.
