Bulk Email Sending Terms of Service

These terms of service spell out what you can expect from us, BEZA LLC, and what we expect from you, the user of the Bulk Email Sending service (the service). These terms do not negate any other existing Agreements for other service(s) you currently subscribe with us. By signing up for the service and/or using the service, you and/or your employer (if you are signing up on behalf of a business or organization) agree to the below terms.

1. Acceptable Use

When sending an email, your recipient must be either someone with whom you have a personal or professional relationship, or is a customer, member or subscriber of your business or organization, or who has specifically asked to receive your emails by opting in or signing up in some way, or someone who has bought a product or service from you in the past 18 months.

We have strict rules for sending bulk/mass emails. The following rules must be followed when sending email to your mailing list:

  • Email lists must be 100% opt-in. This means that you must have obtained the permission of your recipients to send them emails. Examples of lists that are NOT allowed are purchased lists, email addresses scoured from the Internet, and marketing leads (including lists built via LinkedIn or obtained from a 3rd party).
  • In addition, lists must be up-to-date, and have had emails sent to them recently (within the previous 3 months). We closely monitor the percentage of bouncing email addresses and take action where necessary.
  • You must not use the service to ‘clean’ your mailing list. Cleaning your mailing list means testing the validity of email addresses by sending to those addresses when you know or suspect a list is out of date or contains a high proportion of invalid addresses.
  • An opt-out (unsubscribe) link must be placed at the bottom of each email which will allow the recipients to immediately remove themselves.
  • Emails must not contain content related to one of the following industries below.

You must also NOT use the service to send emails that contain content related to the following industries or activities. Such emails, even if ‘opt-in’, generate a high proportion of complaints.

  • Pornographic or adult content
  • Adult novelty items
  • Dating or escort services
  • Multi-level marketing
  • Affiliate marketing or CPA marketing
  • Pharmaceutical products
  • Keylogging
  • Get-rich-quick, work-at-home schemes or paid surveys
  • Online trading, forex trading, or stock market related content
  • Gambling services, products or gambling education
  • Online sweepstakes
  • Streaming TV services
  • Credit repair, get-out-of-debt content
  • Advertising your CV
  • Mortgages and/or loans (without prior approval)
  • Herbal highs or herbal incense
  • Nutritional supplements, herbal supplements or vitamin supplements
  • List brokers or list rental services
  • Essay writing services
  • Bulk RFQ (request for quote) emails

We have a strict policy against spamming. We forbid the use of the service to send unsolicited mass emails or unsolicited emails of any kind.

We reserve the right to terminate your account “for cause” if we deem you to be in violation of our anti-spamming policies. We also reserve the right to suspend your account pending review upon receipt of any complaint or other evidence that you may be engaging in any spamming activity.

You must also NOT use the service to a) knowingly send emails containing viruses, worms, or any other harmful code or software, b) send defamatory, harmful, abusive, vulgar or obscene content or material, c) send emails that are not in compliance with all applicable laws, or that do infringe upon the rights of any other party, including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, privacy rights, moral rights, trade secrets, patents and any other rights d) harass or send threatening content.

You must also NOT use the service in a manner that substantially reduces performance for other subscribers, send “mailbombs” or other harmful devices, or engage in activity designed to gain unauthorized access to any of our computers or information.

You must also NOT use the service to send emails from email addresses which you do not have permission to use, or which are not valid, or send from invalid email addresses for the purposes of testing your account.

You must also NOT use the service to auto-forward emails originally sent by 3rd parties. You must have full control of the content and quality of emails sent.

In the event that we deem you to be in violation of any of these policies, we shall immediately suspend your account and take further action as deemed necessary, including pursuing legal action.

2. Access and Service

Your access to the service depends on abiding by the terms of service. You may change or discontinue your account at any time. We reserve the right to modify, suspend or terminate access to the service on our system at any time for any reason without notice or refund, including the right to require you to change your password. We also reserve the right to delete all program and data files associated with your account and/or other information you have on our system. For the purposes of calculating monthly email usage, an email sent to multiple recipients counts as multiple emails. For example, an email sent to 2 recipients, and CC’d to 3 other recipients, counts as 5 emails.

3. Fees and Payment

We will charge you a fee (depending on which payment frequency you choose) for using the service. You can cancel your account at any time, but you will remain liable for all charges up to that time. We reserve the right to change our fees at any time without advance warning. If a refund is requested within the first 30 days, a full refund will be granted.

4. Limitation of Liability

You must bear the risk of any liability relating to your use of the service. YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR SOLE RISK. WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTIES FOR ANY DIRECT OR INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR LOSSES YOU MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH OUR SYSTEM, YOUR USE THEREOF OR ANY OF THE DATA OR OTHER MATERIALS TRANSMITTED THROUGH OR RESIDING ON OUR SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM OR THE NATURE OF THE CAUSE OF ACTION, EVEN IF WE HAVE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE OR LOSS.
