Anti-spamming policy

Spamming is the sending of unsolicited mass e-mails. These e-mails mainly have a commercial purpose. This type of practice is not only aggressive, it also overloads communication media (servers) and so hinders the flow of communication. Lensworld.be does not allow its own computers or network to be used to disseminate unsolicited informative or advertising e-mails to its users. It is forbidden for a connection or hosted server of Lensworld.be to be used to send large numbers of unsolicited e-mails, to receive replies to unsolicited e-mails or to send an excessive number of e-mails to newsgroups, the title or subject of which has nothing to do with the title of the discussion forum or which could be regarded as offensive or objectionable or could even be harmful to the image of Lensworld.be. Lensworld.be reserves the right to decide that a specific e-mail does not conform to the rules of a newsgroup or address list or that it should generally be regarded as unwelcome.

E-mail confidentiality

Lensworld.be sees to it that your e-mails remain confidential but they are not currently protected by encryption methods. Lensworld.be reserves the right to read e-mails containing information of a public nature such as e-mails which are presented in newsgroups, chatboxes or forums if Lensworld reasonably suspects that this communication relates to improper activities. However, checks are not carried out automatically on e-mails sent by third parties. Incorrect or undesirable e-mails may not be adapted immediately. 

Netiquette

Lensworld.be endorses the Code of Conduct (ISPA Code of Conduct, version 1.0) approved by the ISPA (Internet Service Providers Association). ISPA België vzw was set up in order to defend the interests of the Internet providers in Belgium and to promote the Internet in Belgium. The Code of Conduct is a collection of general deontological rules and rules of etiquette which have been developed by Internet users and is known by the name of Netiquette. The user declares that he is familiar with these rules. (Refer to the Code of Conduct). This implies that Lensworld.be has the right to deny access immediately without legal intervention for example in the following cases: 

• the user uses the services of Lensworld.be in an unlawful manner, i.e. in a way which contravenes these General Terms & Conditions of Use or the Code of Conduct or which does not respect the rights of third parties;
• the user disseminates information in a way which contravenes national or international rules, generally accepted standards and values, morals, these General Terms & Conditions of Use or the Code of Conduct;
• the user disseminates messages which discriminate against people based on their physical appearance, race, religion, sex, culture, origin or which could be interpreted as offensive.

The purpose of these measures is to protect users of Lensworld.be and to create a reliable and instructive Internet environment. 

Newsgroups

Lensworld.be is not bound to watch over any newsgroup. However, Lensworld.be reserves the right to decide that a specific message does not respect the rules of a newsgroup or address list or that it should generally be regarded as improper and, at any time and unilaterally, to edit, to refuse to post or to erase all or part of documents or information.
