Terms of service

These TERMS OF SERVICE (this “Agreement“) is made between Mail Storm, Inc. (“Mail Storm”) and you, or, if you represent an entity or other organization, that entity or organization (in either case “You”).

Mail Storm provides certain services relating to the development, transmission, analysis, and management of email messages (the “Services”) through the web site located at www.Mail Storm.com and such other sites as may be designated by Mail Storm (each, the “Site” or collectively, the “Sites”).

All access to and use of the Services available through the Site is subject to the terms of this Agreement. If You wish to access and use the publicly available portions of the Services and the Site, You may do so only in compliance with the terms of this Agreement. If You have placed or later place an order (whether through the Site, by email, phone or otherwise) with Mail Storm (Your “Order”) seeking to access and use certain of the Services requiring registration, Mail Storm is willing to accept Your Order and provide You with access to and use of those Services only if You comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not available to individuals under the age of 18 or who do not meet any of the other qualifications included in this agreement.

PLEASE CAREFULLY READ THIS AGREEMENT. BY SUBMITTING AN ORDER OR BY ACCESSING OR USING THE SITE OR SERVICES, YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE READ AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT.

IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR DO NOT MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, Mail Storm IS NOT WILLING TO PROVIDE YOU WITH ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE SITE OR SERVICES AND YOU MUST NOT ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR SERVICES. IF YOU ACCESS OR USE THE SITE OR SERVICES, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU MEET THE QUALIFICATIONS INCLUDED IN THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THIS AGREEMENT.

This Agreement is entered into as of the earlier of the date You first submit an Order relating to the Services or first access or use the Services or a Site (the “Effective Date”). This Agreement consists of the following terms and conditions and each Order submitted by You and accepted by Mail Storm, each of which is incorporated in and made a part of this Agreement. Unless otherwise amended as provided herein, this Agreement will exclusively govern Your access to and use of the Services and the Sites and is the complete and exclusive understanding and agreement between the parties, and supersedes any oral or written proposal, agreement or other communication between the parties, regarding Your access to and use of the Services and the Sites. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers under this Agreement must be in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.

Mail Storm reserves the right, at any time, to change or modify the Site, Services or this Agreement, by making such change or modification available on the Site or by providing other notice to You. Any such change or modification will be effective 30 days after posting on the Site or such other notice. As applicable, You will be deemed to have agreed to such change or modification through Your continued use of the Site or Services.

  • Definitions. Terms used in this Agreement will have the definitions given in this Agreement or, if not defined in this Agreement, will have their plain English meaning as commonly interpreted in the United States.
  • Orders and Confirmation.All Orders placed by You will be governed by the terms of this Agreement. Mail Storm will confirm Your Order either through the Site at the time you submit Your Order or by providing You with access to the Services (each, a “Confirmation”). If the terms of any Order conflict with the terms of any Confirmation of that Order, the terms of the Confirmation will govern and control with respect to the Services provided to You. This Agreement will govern and control the terms of each Order and Confirmation under this Agreement. By accessing or using any of the Services, You agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement and each applicable Order and Confirmation with respect to those Services.
  • Term. This Agreement will be effective upon the Effective Date. If You have ordered a trial subscription to the Services or a subscription to any free Services, as indicated in an applicable Order or Confirmation (a “Trial/Free Subscription”), then the term of this Agreement will continue for the period of the Trial/Free Subscription indicated in the applicable Order or Confirmation and will thereafter expire unless You place an Order for a non-trial subscription to the Services prior to the completion thereof. If You have ordered a non-trial subscription to the Services, then the term of this Agreement will continue for the initial period stated in the applicable Order or Confirmation for the Services and will thereafter automatically renew for successive additional periods of equal duration. If no initial period is stated in the applicable Order or Confirmation for the Services, this Agreement will continue for an initial period of 1 month and will thereafter automatically renew for successive additional 1-month periods. Unless terminated as set forth herein, the term of this Agreement will continue to renew until You notify Mail Storm that You do not wish to renew the Agreement at least 10 days prior to the end of the then-current period. In all other cases, the term of this Agreement will continue until terminated as set forth herein.
  • Subscription. Subject to this Agreement, during the term of this Agreement Mail Storm will provide You with a limited subscription to access and use the Services subject to Confirmations under this Agreement, solely for Your own use in connection with your own business purposes; provided, however, if You desire to integrate the Service into any of the services offered by You and/or provide the Service to Your customers and potential customers (“OEM Users”) as an integrated part of Your business (the “OEM Service”), You will also be subject to the OEM terms and conditions set forth in Section 24 below. Subject to the foregoing proviso, Your rights to access and use the Services are personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and non-sublicensable. You understand that Mail Storm may from time to time, in its sole discretion, update, change, revise, suspend or discontinue the Services (or any portion thereof) with or without notice.
  • Access to the Services. Upon Confirmation of Your Order by Mail Storm, the rights granted to You under this Agreement entitle You to access the Services through accounts (each, an “Account”). You will be provided with a user identification and password applicable to each Account You have purchased (each such user identification and password, an “Account ID”). Each Account ID is personal in nature and may be used only by You or, if You are an organization, by designated employees within Your organization or contractors who are contractually required to comply with the terms of this Agreement (such individual, as applicable, the “User” of the Account). You are solely responsible for all use of the Services by each User and for compliance by each User with the applicable terms of this Agreement. You will ensure the security and confidentiality of each Account ID and will notify Mail Storm immediately if any Account ID is lost, stolen or otherwise compromised. You acknowledge that You are fully responsible for all costs, fees, liabilities or damages incurred through use of each Account ID (whether lawful or unlawful) and that any Services ordered or transactions completed through any Account or under any Account ID will be deemed to have been lawfully completed by You. In no event will Mail Storm be liable for the foregoing obligations or the failure by You to fulfill such obligations. You will be solely responsible, at Your own expense, for acquiring, installing and maintaining all hardware, software and other equipment as may be necessary for You and each User to connect to, access, and use the Services and the Sites.
  • Applicable Policies. In addition to the terms of this Agreement, Your access to and use of the Site and Services is subject to Mail Storm’s then-current policies relating to the Site and Services, including, without limitation, the Mail Storm Privacy Policy and Email Policy available on the Site. You are responsible for compliance with these policies and all other Mail Storm policies applicable to the access and use of the Services posted to the Site or provided through Services.
  • Software. Any software or code available on or for download through the Site or Services (“Software”) is protected by IPR (as defined below). Unless otherwise expressly stated in a license or other agreement separate from this Agreement that You may have entered into (or may enter into) with Mail Storm relating to any Software (each such license or other agreement, a “Software License Agreement”), Mail Storm grants you a limited, non-exclusive right and license to download, install and execute the Software in accordance with the instructions provided on the Site and solely for your own business purposes in connection with Your access to and use of the Services. Except as expressly set forth in the foregoing sentence (or any applicable Software License Agreement), You are granted no licenses or rights, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, in or to any Software or any IPR therein or related thereto, and You may not modify, reproduce, perform, display, create derivative works from, republish, post, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, distribute, or in any way exploit any portion of the Software without the prior written permission of Mail Storm. Except as set forth in this Agreement, any Software License Agreement will control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and that Software License Agreement.
  • Third-Party Services. The Services may include services developed, provided or maintained by third-party service providers (“Third Party Services”). In addition to the terms of this Agreement, Your access to and use of any Third Party Services is also subject to any other agreement separate from this Agreement that You may enter into (or may have entered into) relating to those Third Party Services (each, a “Third Party Service Agreement”). The terms of any Third Party Service Agreement will apply to the applicable Third Party Services provided under that Third Party Service Agreement in addition to the terms of this Agreement. Except as set forth in this Agreement, the terms of any Third Party Service Agreement will control in the event of a conflict between the terms of this Agreement and that Third Party Service Agreement. All other Third Party Services will be subject to the terms of this Agreement. Third Party Services may be subject to additional Fees as set forth on the Site. Notwithstanding the terms of any Third Party Services Agreement, Mail Storm may change, modify or discontinue any Third Party Service at any time and without notice to You. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or any Third Party Service Agreement, You are granted no licenses or rights, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, in or to any Third Party Services.
  • Restrictions. You acknowledge that the Services, Sites, Software, and the databases, software, hardware and other technology used by or on behalf of Mail Storm to provide the Services and operate the Sites (the “Technology”) and their structure, organization, and underlying data, information and source code constitute valuable trade secrets of Mail Storm. You will not, and will not permit any third party (including any OEM User, as applicable) to: (1) access or use the Services or the Sites, in whole or in part, except as expressly provided in this Agreement; (2) use the Site, Services or any Software to harvest or collect e-mail addresses or other contact information of third parties by any means for the purposes of sending unsolicited e-mails or other unsolicited communications; (3) use the Site, Services or any Software in any unlawful manner or in any other manner that could damage, disable, overburden or impair the Site or Services; (4) use automated scripts to collect information from or otherwise interact with the Site, Services or any Software; (5) use the Site, Services or any Software to intimidate or harass any other people or entities; alter, modify, reproduce, create derivative works of the Services, Technology, or any Software; (6) distribute, sell, resell, lend, loan, lease, license, sublicense or transfer any of Your rights to access or use the Services or any Software, including, without limitation, providing outsourcing, service bureau, hosting, application service provider or on-line services to third parties, or otherwise make the Services or any Software, or access thereto, available to any third party; (7) reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code or method of operation of or any trade secrets embodied in the Site, Services, Technology or any Software; (8) attempt to circumvent or overcome any technological protection measures intended to restrict access to any portion of the Sites, Services, Technology, or any Software; (9) interfere in any manner with the operation or hosting of the Sites, Services, Technology or any Software, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Sites, Services, Technology or any Software; or (10) use the Service for any high risk activities including, but not limited to, the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, life support systems, emergency services or where the use or failure of the Service could lead to death, personal injury or environmental damage (collectively, “High Risk Activities”). Mail Storm does not intend uses of the Service to create obligations under The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”), the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (“GLBA”) or similar laws and makes no representations that the Service satisfies the requirements of such laws. If You are (or become) a Covered Entity or Business Associate (as defined in HIPAA) or a Financial Institution (as defined in GLBA), You agree not to use the Service for any purpose or in any manner involving Protected Health Information (as defined in HIPAA) or Nonpublic Personal Information (as defined in GLBA). You will not allow any access to or use of the Services by anyone other than Your authorized Users or OEM Users (as applicable), and any such use will be consistent with the terms, conditions and restrictions set forth in this Agreement.
  • Fees and Payment. You agree to pay Mail Storm all fees set forth in each Order or Confirmation and any fees otherwise specified on the Site or through the Services (“Fees”). All Fees will be billed as indicated in each Order or Confirmation. If the applicable Order or Confirmation does not specify any applicable billing terms, the initial payment of Fees specified under that Order or Confirmation for each period in Your subscription will be due and payable by You in advance on or before the Effective Date and again on or before the completion of each subsequent period under this Agreement. If You have specified credit card or direct withdrawal from a bank account as an applicable payment mechanism under this Agreement, You grant Mail Storm the right to charge the credit card or debit the bank account provided to Mail Storm for all Fees incurred under this Agreement. All Fees will be non-refundable once paid to Mail Storm (including upon any termination or suspension of this Agreement).

Mail Storm may change any portion of the Fees by posting the changes to the Sites or otherwise notifying You through the Services of the change, such changes to take effect at the beginning of the next period of this Agreement. If Mail Storm requires use of collection agencies, attorneys, or courts of law for collection on Your account, You will be responsible for those expenses. You will be responsible for all use, sales, and other taxes imposed on the Services provided under this Agreement.
  • Termination and Suspension. This Agreement may be terminated by Mail Storm, at any time, in Mail Storm’s sole discretion: (1) upon any breach by You of this Agreement that remains uncured ten (10) days after Mail Storm delivers written notice to You of such breach; or (2) at any time during any Trial/Free Subscription, for any reason or no reason, upon notice to You. Without limiting Mail Storm’s right to terminate this Agreement, Mail Storm may also immediately and indefinitely suspend Your access to the Sites or Services, with or without notice to You, upon any actual, threatened or suspected breach of this Agreement or of applicable law or upon any other conduct deemed inappropriate or detrimental to the Services by Mail Storm (including, but not limited to, rogue script, bad send and unauthorized takeover or other malicious activity on Your Account).

    • By You.

    • Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 14, THE SITES AND SERVICES (AND ALL Mail Storm CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES AND SERVICES) ARE PROVIDED TO YOU STRICTLY “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND Mail Storm AND ITS PROVIDERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND WITH REGARD TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

  • Indemnity.
    • By Mail Storm. Except in the case of any Services provided during a Trial/Free Subscription, Mail Storm will, at its expense, defend You against any claims brought against You by a third party that Your use of the Services in accordance with this Agreement infringes any copyright, trade secret or trademark right. The foregoing obligations of Mail Storm under this Section 15 are conditioned upon You providing Mail Storm with: (a) notice of any such claim within 10 days after You receive written notice thereof; (b) sole control over the defense and settlement of such claim; and (c) reasonable assistance (at Mail Storm’s expense) in the defense and settlement of such claim. If You are, or Mail Storm reasonably believes You may be, enjoined from using the Services, Mail Storm, at Mail Storm’s option and expense, may procure the right for You to continue using the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing, or provide You a refund of all pre-paid amounts applicable to such Services (if any) and terminate this Agreement with respect to such Services. This Section 15.1 constitutes Mail Storm’s sole and exclusive liability, and Your sole and exclusive remedy, for any infringement or misappropriation of any third party IPR by or through the Site, Services, Technology, Mail Storm Content or any Software.
    • By You. You hereby indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Mail Storm and its affiliates, employees, agents, contractors, assigns, licensees, and successors in interest (“Indemnified Parties”) from any and all claims, losses, liabilities, damages, fees, expenses, and costs (including attorneys’ fees, court costs, damage awards, and settlement amounts) that result from any claim or allegation against any Indemnified Party arising from Your or the OEM Users (as applicable) accessing or using the Site, Services, Software, Your Content, Mail Storm Content, any email or other communication generated or sent through the Services or the OEM Service (as applicable), or any breach of this Agreement. Mail Storm will provide You with notice of any such claim or allegation, and Mail Storm will have the right to participate in the defense of any such claim at its expense.
  • Limitation on Liability.IN NO EVENT WILL Mail Storm BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE), ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH OR OUT OF THE USE OF THE SITES, SERVICES (OR ANY Mail Storm CONTENT PROVIDED THROUGH THE SITES OR SERVICES), EVEN IF Mail Storm HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITY, REVENUES OR PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES. Mail Storm’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND ALL SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID TO Mail Storm HEREUNDER IN THE 1 MONTH PRECEDING ANY SUCH INITIAL OCCURRENCE OF LIABILITY (OR, IF NO SUCH FEES HAVE BEEN PAID, $10). YOU AGREE THAT THE FEES REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISK SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT AND ACKNOWLEDGE THAT Mail Storm WOULD NOT ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT WITHOUT THESE LIMITATIONS ON ITS LIABILITY. IN JURISDICTIONS WHERE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES IS NOT PERMITTED, Mail Storm’S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW. FOR THE PURPOSE OF CLARITY, Mail Storm WILL NOT BE LIABLE, AND WILL HAVE NO OBLIGATION TO INDEMNIFY YOU, FOR (A) SENSITIVE DATA SENT TO Mail Storm; (B) VIOLATION OF ANY LAW BY Mail Storm WHEN ACTING AT YOUR OR ANY OEM USER’S (AS APPLICABLE) DIRECTION; (C) THE SENDING BY Mail Storm OF YOUR OR ANY OEM USER’S (AS APPLICABLE) EMAILS, INCLUDING ANY CLAIMS AGAINST Mail Storm DUE TO YOUR OR ANY OEM USER’S (AS APPLICABLE) SENDING OR DATA COLLECTION PRACTICES OR YOUR CONTENT.
  • Data Privacy. In respect of Your or the OEM Users’ (as applicable) use of the Site and Services and in relation to any personally identifiable and other data and information You or any OEM User (as applicable) provides to Mail Storm through the Site and Services, You expressly consent to the use and disclosure of that data and information as described in Mail Storm’s then-current privacy policy displayed on the Site (“Privacy Policy”). Notwithstanding anything in the Privacy Policy, Mail Storm will have the right to collect, extract, compile, synthesize, and analyze non-personally identifiable data or information (data or information that does not identify an entity or natural person as the source thereof) resulting from Your or any OEM User’s (as applicable) access to the Site and Your or any OEM User’s (as applicable) use and operation of the Services (including, by way of example and not limitation, information relating to volumes, frequencies, recipients, bounce rates, or any other information regarding the email and other communications You and any OEM User (as applicable) generates and sends using the Services). To the extent any such non-personally identifiable data or information is collected or generated by Mail Storm, the data and information will be solely owned by Mail Storm and may be used by Mail Storm for any lawful business purpose without a duty of accounting to You or any OEM User, provided that the data and information is used only in an aggregated form, without directly identifying You, any User, OEM User or customer, or any other entity or natural person as the source thereof. You acknowledge that email is an insecure medium that is generally not encrypted in transit, and security of information transmitted through the Internet can never be guaranteed. Mail Storm is not responsible for any interception or interruption of any communications through the Internet or for changes to or loss of Your Content. Mail Storm may process and store Your Content in the United States or any other country in which Mail Storm or its agents maintain facilities and, by using the Services, You consent to this processing and storage of Your Content. In relation to all “personal data” (as defined by Directive 95/46/EC (the “Directive”), which also defines the terms “processing”, “data controller” and “data processor”) of European Union data subjects provided or disclosed to Mail Storm by You or on Your behalf, Mail Storm will, upon reasonable request by sending an email to legal@mail-storm.com with the name and email address of Your signatory, execute the necessary document with You containing the standard contract clauses, in the form provided by Mail Storm, for the transfer of personal data to third countries under the Directive.
  • Confidentiality. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all nonpublic information disclosed or made available under this Agreement that relates to the Technology, the provision or receipt of the Services, or either party’s technology, finances, operations, customers or business. For the avoidance of doubt, (1) the Services, Technology, and Mail Storm Content are the Confidential Information of Mail Storm, (2) all data regarding Your email recipients and OEM Users (as applicable), including without limitation, identities and email addresses are Your Confidential Information, and (3) the data and information specified in Section 17 will not be Your Confidential Information. Each party agrees to protect the other party’s Confidential Information with the degree of care that such party uses to protect its own confidential information of like nature, but in no case less than reasonable care. Each party agrees that, except as expressly directed by the other party, it will not at any time during or after the term of this Agreement: (1) disclose any Confidential Information to any third party; (2) permit any third party to examine and/or make copies of any reports, documents or electronic data containing Confidential Information; or (3) use any of the Confidential Information for any reason other than for the purposes of this Agreement. Each party may disclose Confidential Information to personnel having a need to receive the Confidential Information in the performance of their duties under this Agreement, provided, however, that such personnel are informed of the confidentiality obligations hereunder and each party uses its best efforts to ensure their compliance therewith. If either party is required to disclose the other party’s Confidential Information pursuant to any statute, regulation, order, subpoena or document discovery request, it will furnish written notice of such disclosure to the other party as soon as practicable in order to afford such party the opportunity to seek a protective order and the party required to make such disclosure will reasonably cooperate in such efforts (at the other party’s reasonable expense). In the event of any conflict between the Privacy Policy and the provisions of this Section 18, the provisions of this Section 18 shall control.
