HR Music Systems does not appreciate getting Unsolicited Commercial Electronic Mail; however, people seem to be sending an ever increasing deluge of it. Given that so many people wish to waste our time with Unsolicited Commercial E-Mail, we decided to offer wasted time as a service you may purchase from HR Music Systems. The following contract covers purchasing wasted time from HR Music Systems. The opportunity to pay HR Music System for wasting time is available to anyone who agrees to the following contract.

Contract 102

The following is a contract between the sole proprietorship HR Music Systems, herein referred to as HRMS,  and any business or individual who agrees to the terms of this contract. The business or individual who agrees to the terms of this contract will be herein referred to as PURCHASER.  

HRMS is owned by Herbert W. Robinson and is located at 116 Carver Road in the City of Newton in the state of  Massachusetts.

Once accepted, this contract shall apply to any other businesses owned by PURCHASER and any agents employed by PURCHASER.

HRMS will provide the service of "wasted time" to PURCHASER each and every time PURCHASER sends an unsolicited commercial electronic mail message to HRMS using any covered electronic mail address.  

The service "wasted time" is defined to be any amount of time, no matter how small, that HRMS computers or personnel spend dealing with an unsolicited commercial electronic mail message.  It may include time spent complaining about the message to relevant authorities, but may also just consist of archiving the message.  The extent and nature of wasted time is determined solely at the discretion of HRMS.

For this agreement, a covered electronic mail address is defined to be any of the following:

    hrob@ne.mediaone.net
    hrob@gis.net
    all addresses in the Internet domain curbside-recording.com
    all addresses in the Internet domain primalsession.com
    all addresses in any Internet domain publicly registered during the contract period by HRMS

PURCHASER acknowledges that Herbert William Robinson is a computer software expert and that for the purposes of this contract, Herbert William Robinson is the sole authority on what is or is not an unsolicited commercial electronic mail message.

PURCHASER agrees that the service fee paid to HRMS for wasted time is eighteen hundred US dollars for each unsolicited commercial electronic mail message received by HRMS.  HRMS advises that this is an unreasonable price to pay for said service; however, HRMS will be happy to provide said service if PURCHASER accepts this contract in spite of this advice.

PURCHASER may resell this service at a profit to any clients who use their electronic mailing or web hosting facilities.

This contract shall take effect when accepted by PURCHASER and shall be remain in effect until cancelled in writing by HRMS.

PURCHASER shall indicate acceptance of this contract by sending an electronic mail message to the electronic mail address "I.agree.to.102@curbside-recording.com". This electronic mail address is only to be used for accepting this contract. No other use of this electronic mail address is authorized. HRMS will not use this electronic mail address in any other context. HRMS advises that providing this electronic mail address to a third party without informing them of the proper use will likely make the provider liable to the third party for damages incurred (i.e., fees paid under this contract).

This contract shall be enforced under the laws and courts of the state of Massachusetts.

In the event any portion of this contract shall be deemed invalid, the remaining provisions still apply.

PURCHASER agrees to pay any service fees within 30 days of receiving the invoice.

PURCHASER agrees to pay double the normal fees to any lawyers, collection agencies, private investigators, internet service providers, or other professionals hired by HRMS to collect overdue service fees.

PURCHASER authorizes any and all third parties in possession of information regarding electronic mail messages sent by PURCHASER to any of the covered electronic mail addresses to provide such information to HRMS or its agents.  PURCHASER authorizes any and all third parties in possession of information regarding the identify of individuals sending electronic mail messages on behalf of PURCHASER to provide such information to HRMS or its agents.

In the event that HRMS obtains a judgement against PURCHASER for overdue service fees, PURCHASER agrees to pay punitive damages of ten times the amount of that judgement to a registered 501c3 charity chosen by HRMS.

Agreed this 6th day of April, the year 2002 by Herbert W. Robinson, proprietor of HR Music Systems.
