Gandi also has a moral code in their TOS. No thanks.



For the curious:

"Gandi cares about the rights and freedoms of everyone with regards to the respect of others, adheres to all applicable laws, and participates in the development of a responsible Internet, notably in helping in the fight against certain infringements, notably abusive and/or deviant uses of the Internet.

By accepting Our Contracts and using Our services, You agree to abide to Our code of ethics which consists, in particular, of protecting and respecting minors, human dignity, public order and good moral standards, not infringing on the rights of third parties (private life, image, honor and reputation, trademarks, designs and models, copyrights, etc.) or the security of persons, property, the government, or the good working order of public institutions, and to help in the fight against abusive and/or deviant uses of the Internet (spamming, phishing, hacking, cracking, or attempts at hacking or cracking), or any other infraction as cited in the Penal Code."


Gandi's always seemed pretty laid back, and I suspect they don't really care what you do unless you're really a jerk. Having a vague "code of ethics" seems like mostly an escape clause that basically lets them yank your account if you abuse it.


I was a customer couple of years ago. To this day I still get their newsletter and there's no link to cancel it. They say you have to log in and change your "newsletter settings".

Also their stupid auto-generated username "XY<account_number>-GANDI".


Why don't you contact them? I can't imagine it'd be hard for them to unsubscribe you from that (I did easily, but I'm still a customer so I could log in and do it).


Spam them in your mail client and send a report.
