By checking the "I accept these terms and conditions" box on the Sign Up page or after logging in for the first time, you accept these terms and conditions.
1. Services and Support

By posting updated versions of the Agreement at the EmailMarketing.com web site, or otherwise providing notice to you, EmailMarketing may modify the terms of the Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Services at its sole discretion. All such changes shall become effective upon posting of the revised Agreement on the Service.

1.3 The Services enable corporate web sites, small business web sites, and community sites to sign up web site visitors, collect and retrieve visitor sign-up data, and develop and execute e-mail communications with visitors and other targeted prospects.
1.4 Both the number of e-mail messages sent and the number ofKiloBytes of data stored are metered by EmailMarketing. carges are incurred based upon the number of emails sent and the size of your storage facility on the email marketing services.
1.6 For all accounts, EmailMarketing may charge an account re-activation fee should an account need to be re-activated by customer after account has become de-activated due to non-payment or an untimely authorization for payment.
1.7 You must complete the registration form on the Sign Up page in order to use the Services. You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as requested in the registration form. As part of the registration process, you will identify an e-mail address and password for your EmailMarketing account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, passwords, and files, and for all uses of your account and of the Services in your name. EmailMarketing reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel, accounts it deems inappropriate.
1.8 It is understood that EmailMarketing makes no guarantee that HTML messages will be rendered properly on all recipients' e-mail programs, due to the wide variety of HTML generation tools available. EmailMarketing makes every attempt to make sure that all e-mail messages sent through our servers follow W3C and IETF e-mail standards, but we cannot guarantee that messages will look consistent across all e-mail platforms due to the number of different HTML composition tools available. For example, if you use Microsoft Word to generate HTML e-mail messages, it is expected that recipients of your message using a non-Microsoft e-mail application may have difficulty reading your message. For best results EmailMarketing recommends, but does not guarantee, the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards. EmailMarketing also provides a built-in browser-based HTML editor which you may use to compose your HTML message. This is provided as-is. EmailMarketing makes no guarantee that the HTML generated by the browser-based HTML editor will result in messages that look the same on all e-mail platforms.
1.9 To receive support, you must either send an e-mail to help@dk-media.co.uk. E-mails about new support issues sent directly to a EmailMarketing staff member may result in a delayed response. Some support issues are outside the scope of EmailMarketing's standard support -- these issues may be denied support alltogether or quoted for separately, at which time the customer will have the opportunity to decide whether to have the EmailMarketing staff person proceed or not.
