Notice of permission

We permit anyone who receives an uninvited solicitation by email ("You") to include our organization domain (detritus.org) in Your reply to the sender or the sender's agent, on the following four conditions:

  1. Your reply must consist of the Notification and Offer quoted here (or any similar version published by Junkbusters) and the copyright notice. It may also include the names and email addresses of others who have also issued this same Notice of Permission.
  2. The reply must be made in a responsible and reasonable manner. It must not be sent in large or bulk email messages.
  3. You must not do anything that imposes any cost, liability or obligation on our organization.
  4. Your reply is Yours, not ours. You are not authorized to act on our behalf in any way.

We permit our domain name (detritus.org), and all addresses of email accounts affiliated with this organization, to be included in lists published on the Web of people who have adopted the same Notification and Offer and Notice of Permission.

Notification and Offer

Take notice that our organization is unwilling to receive or process bulk solicitations freely by email, and that if you send such email you may incur certain legal and financial burdens.

I, Mike Stevens, write as a fully authorized representative of detritus.org, to which I refer with the words "our organization," "us," "we," and "our" in this document. We do not want to receive bulk uninvited solicitations by email ("Junk Email") to any addresses ending in the domain detritus.org. By "bulk" I mean the practice of sending more than three identical or similar messages to addressees of who one or more have email accounts affiliated with our organization. This practice costs us money due to telecommunications charges and the time spent by our affiliates processing this email. If you send us any Junk Email other than on the terms of the offer set out in the following seven points, we will take this to mean that you plan to use what was offered you without paying for it. If you ever try to do this we reserve our right to take any action available to us without further reference to you. Actions available to us 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 our computing facilities may even be a crime. If you send us any Junk Email without express prior written consent from me or an officer of our organization this will be taken as your acceptance of this offer. Each individual affiliate may give you permission in writing to send email to him or her.

  1. We offer to receive all further email from you on the terms set out below. If you send us any Junk Email without our express prior written consent this will be taken as your acceptance of this offer.
  2. For the purposes of points 3 and 4, you will be taken to have sent any email sent by any entity associated with you for the purpose of sending email solicitations.
  3. You must pay us ten US dollars for each copy of each such item of email that you send us.
  4. You must mail payment to detritus.org by certified check payable to Mike Stevens (c/o XNode Networks, 370 Altair Way, Ste. 267, Sunnyvale, CA., 94086, US) within five working days of the transmission of the email.
  5. Each email item must be uniquely identified, and each payment must clearly identify the relevant item or items.
  6. You must disclose your name and full business and residential addresses in each email message.
  7. We 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.
