Rainbows Network Internet Information & Policies
Rainbows Network is a company in good standing within the
community and we want to remain that way. We want all of our users
to be held in the same regard. Rainbows Network sets up some
policies against SPAM. Please refer to

for a full definition of Internet SPAM.
You will receive a 1st letter of warning from our
administration office for the first time sending out SPAM. The 2nd
time, your account will be suspended for one month. The 3rd
time, we will close your account without any refund. The same action
will be taken regardless of whether the SPAM offense is unintentional or pre-meditated.
Your log in name and password are confidential under Rainbows.net.
One user name and password will be used per account. It is your responsibility
to protect your account. If you hand out your password to someone else,
you will be fully liable for whatever other people do using your account.
If you feel that your password has slipped out for any reason, you can change
your password any time in order to protect your account.
Rainbows.Net reserves the right to make changes to these
policies at any time.
