The actions individual members take can have a big impact on our system as a whole. That’s why all Comedy101 users must follow this Acceptable Use Policy in their use of Comedy101 and any other Comedy101 products or add ons. If you violate this policy, we may suspend or terminate your account. We may also suspend or terminate accounts according to our Terms of Use where we see behavior, content, or other factors that poses a threat to our system.

Prohibited Content

Please don’t use Comedy101 to send anything offensive, to promote anything illegal, or to harass anyone. You may not send or upload:

  • Content offering to sell illegal goods or services
  • Content or Emails that violate CAN-SPAM Laws
  • Pornography/sexually explicit content

Some industries have higher-than-average abuse complaints, which can jeopardize the deliverability of our entire system. Nothing personal, but in order to maintain the highest standards possible for all our customers, we can’t allow businesses that offer these types of services, products, or content:

  • Escort and dating services
  • Pharmaceutical products
  • Work from home, make money online, and lead generation opportunities
  • Gambling services or products
  • Multi-level marketing
  • Affiliate marketing
  • Credit repair and get out of debt opportunities
  • List brokers or list rental services
  • Selling “Likes” or followers for a social media platform

Also, we cannot allow businesses involved in any aspect of the sale, transaction, exchange, storage, marketing or production of cryptocurrencies, virtual currencies, and any digital assets related to an Initial Coin Offering, to use Comedy101 to facilitate or support any of those activities.

Sending Subject to Additional Scrutiny

We’ve also found that certain types of content may cause higher-than-average abuse rates. For that reason, we may closely review, suspend, throttle, or disable accounts that exceed these standards and/or offer the following services, products, or content:

  • Online trading, day trading tips, or stock market related content
  • Daily horoscope reports
  • Mortgages and loans
  • Nutritional, herbal, and vitamin supplements
  • Adult Entertainment/Novelty Items
  • Real estate
  • Services that support programmatically sending mail on behalf of third parties without creating or reviewing the content

Prohibited Actions

We work hard to maintain the positive reputation of our system, but we count on our customers to pitch in too. You may not:

  • Send or post Spam. Spam can be in the form of bulk emails or one to one commercial emails. For bulk emails we use the definition by Spamhaus, in short “unsolicited bulk email.” For single commercial emails, we define spam as any message that violates CAN SPAM law.
    • You must be able to point to an opt-in form or show other evidence of consent for bulk email.
  • Put into your Posts, uploads, Email or Account any material that wasn’t created by you, provided for you to use, or that would violate anyone’s rights. That includes text, photos, graphics, and other content.
  • Use any misleading or incorrect names, addresses, email addresses, subject lines, or other information on the Website or in any Emails created or sent using our Service.
  • Share your password.

  • Set up multiple accounts for any person or entity in order to share similar content, unless you’re part of a franchise or agency.
  • Import or incorporate any of this information into any posts, lists, emails or uploads to our servers: Social Security numbers, passwords, security credentials, or sensitive personal information.
  • Send email that will be delivered to recipients as text, SMS, or MMS messages unless using a feature designed for that purpose.
  • Upload or send to purchased, rented, third-party, co-reg, publicly available data, or partner lists of any kind.

  • Host content on our servers for any purpose other than to complete or participate in course work.
  • Delete, bulk unsubscribe, or otherwise modify your list in order to avoid our billing thresholds.
  • Send bulk emails, meaning emails directed to a number of individuals with the same content.
