15. Unsolicited Commercial E-mail ("UCE") or SPAM. The Company strictly prohibits the sending of UCE or SPAM including, but not limited to promotional or advertising materials, "junk mail," "surveys," "chain letters," "pyramid schemes," or any other form of solicitation or unauthorized communication (hereinafter collectively "UCE") using Our Service, Materials and/or the Company's equipment, network connectivity, e-mail accounts, domain names or any other property, or service owned, maintained, leased by or otherwise related to the Company activities. The Company will routinely attempt to prevent the use of Our Service, Materials and/or equipment in, or assisting with, the transmission of UCE. Because Our Service and Materials include the transmission of large amounts of subscription-based e-mail, it is important for the Company to maintain a strong public stance against UCE in order to avoid being identified as a UCE source and face possible blacklisting by Internet anti- UCE forces (e.g., MAPS at http://www.mail-abuse.org/).
Although The Company does not engage in sending UCE, it may be the victim of such activity. Senders of UCE may use forged headers that make it appear as if the UCE is originating from the Company's registered domain names. When the Company becomes aware of a UCE incident involving the Company, the following steps will be taken:
- Report the incident to the Company's Network Operations Center, Security Division.
- If in possession of the UCE or complaint in electronic format, forward it to the e-mail address: frontdesk@stockdiagnostics.com
- If in possession of the UCE or complaint in paper format, fax to the NOC-Security Division at: 207.764.6948
- The NOC-Security Division will investigate the incident to determine whether the Company is at fault or a victim.
- A standardized response will be sent to the party that the complaint came from.
- If the Company is a victim of the UCE, the security division will file complaints with the UCE sender's ISP, owners of any 3rd-party e-mail relay server used in sending the UCE and various UCE blacklist maintainers.
- If the Company is at fault for sending the UCE, the security division will investigate the incident, address any security issues found and provide a detailed report to the Company management.
The security division will provide a monthly report to the Company management including statistics on monthly UCE complaints and any specific UCE issues that arise. If you feel that you have received a UCE through Our Service or Materials, please forward it to us at frontdesk@stockdiagnostics.com and we will process your submission as soon as reasonably practicable.
You agree, at your own expense, to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, partners, Information Providers and Suppliers, against any liability, claim, suit, action or other proceeding brought against the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, partners, Information Providers and Suppliers, by you or a third party, to the extent that such claim, suit, action or other proceeding brought against the Company, its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, contractors, subcontractors, partners, Information Providers and Suppliers is based on or arises in connection with the receipt of any UCE via Our Service or Materials. Furthermore, if you are found to have distributed any UCE using Our Service or Materials or any the Company equipment, you agree to pay any and all damages incurred by the Company including, but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees, in connection with your transmission of any UCE using Our Service or Materials or any the Company equipment. Because such damages are often difficult to quantify, if actual damages cannot be reasonably calculated then you agree to pay the Company liquidated damages of $5.00 (Five Dollars) or actual damages, whichever amount is higher, for each piece of UCE transmitted by you (or via your account, if applicable) using Our Service, Materials or any the Company equipment.
16. Linking and/or Framing. You acknowledge that Our Service and Materials have been specifically designed by the Company for presentation in a unique format and appearance, with the Company's look and feel (collectively "Look and Feel"), and that such Look and Feel is protected by copyrights, patents, trademarks, service marks, international treaties and/or other intellectual and proprietary rights and laws of the United States and other countries. As such, the Company, without limiting the provisions of this Agreement, expressly prohibits the linking to or framing of Our Service or Materials in part or whole without the prior written consent of the Company and to do so would be a violation of this Agreement.

21. Translations into Other Languages. One of the unique features of Our Service and Materials is their availability in languages other than English.
