long as the recipient of the mailing is already a customer or subscriber of your services,
and recipients have the option to remove themselves from future mailings. Also, newsgroups
postings to promote Inet-Traffic services are generally approved by Inet-Traffic so long
as the news group specifically welcomes commercial messages. In all cases, you must always
clearly represent yourself and your web sites as independent from Inet-Traffic.

otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
Our failure to enforce your strict performance of any provision of this Agreement will not
constitute a waiver of our right to subsequently enforce such provision or any other
provision of this Agreement.
