Through
Zinidoo (the "Services") a variety
of tools and resources are provided to collect visitor
e-mail addresses and to create, launch, and manage
online e-mail campaigns. This service may not be
used for the sending of unsolicited e-mail (sometimes
called "spam"). See our Anti-Spam
Policy. The following are the terms and conditions
for use of the Services. By checking the "I
have read the Zinidoo Terms of Use statement.
I accept these terms and conditions" box on
the Free Trial page or after
logging in for the first time, you accept these terms
and conditions.
1. Services and Support
1.1 The Services are provided subject
to this Agreement, as it may be amended by Zinidoo, and any guidelines, rules or operating
policies that Zinidoo may establish and
post from time to time (the "Agreement").
By posting updated versions of the Agreement at the
Zinidoo web site, or otherwise providing
notice to you, Zinidoo 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.
1.2 The Services are available
only to persons who can form legally binding contracts
under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing,
the Services are not available to individuals under
the age of 18. If you do not qualify, please do not
use the Services.
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 of KiloBytes of data transferred
are metered by Zinidoo. Normal Zinidoo accounts allow you to send an unlimited
number of e-mail messages. The recommended total
KiloByte data transfer of each message should be
no more than 100kb.
1.5 All email delivery prices are
subject to change at any time. All fees paid to Zinidoo for Zinidoo are non-refundable,
unless an account is terminated by Zinidoo
for a reason other than violation of the Anti-Spam
Policy. Payment for Services will be made by
a valid credit card accepted by Zinidoo,
unless other payment arrangements have been made
between you and an authorized Zinidoo
representative. You hereby authorize Zinidoo
to charge your credit card for such amounts whenever
you send a campaign to more than 5 recipients. Fees
are payable in US dollars or Australian dollars.
If Zinidoo is for any reason unable to
effect automatic payment via your credit card, you
will be notified via e-mail. All prices are subject
to change and you are responsible for reviewing the Pricing
Schedule from time to time and remaining aware
of the Fees charged by Zinidoo.
1.6 For all accounts, Zinidoo may charge an account re-activation fee
should an account need to be re-activated by customer
after an 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 Free Trial 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 Zinidoo 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. Zinidoo reserves the right
to refuse registration of, or cancel, accounts it
deems inappropriate.
1.8 It is understood that Zinidoo 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. Zinidoo makes every attempt
to make sure that all e-mail messages sent through
our servers follow 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 Zinidoo
recommends, but does not guarantee, the use of HTML
editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards.
2. Restrictions and Responsibilities
2.1 This is an Agreement for Services,
and you are not granted a license to any software
by this Agreement. You will not, directly or indirectly:

documentation, or data related to the Services ("Software");
remove any proprietary notices or labels from the
Services or any Software, modify, translate, or create

business (which includes civic or charitable) purposes
only and you shall not use the Services or any Software

for the benefit of a third party. If you are using
the Services in any country in the European Community,
the prohibition against modifying, translating, reverse

implementing the E.C. Council Directive on the Legal
Protection of Computer Programs.
2.2 You acknowledge and agree that
the Services and the Zinidoo company names
and logos and all related product and service names,
design marks and slogans, are the property of Zinidoo or its affiliates or suppliers (collectively,
the "Marks"). You are not authorized to
use any of the Marks in any advertising, publicity
or any other commercial manner without the prior
written consent of Zinidoo. Your use of
the Services confers no title or ownership in the

Marks. All ownership rights remain in Zinidoo
or its third party suppliers, as the case may be.
2.3 You represent, covenant, and
warrant that you will use the Services only in compliance

lists in connection with preparing or distributing
unsolicited e-mail to any third party. You hereby
agree to indemnify and hold harmless Zinidoo
against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements,
and expenses (including without limitation costs
and reasonable attorneys' fees) in connection with
any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation
of the foregoing or otherwise arising from or relating
to your use of the Services. Although Zinidoo
has no obligation to monitor the content provided
by you or your use of the Services, Zinidoo
may do so and may remove any such content or prohibit
any use of the Services it believes may be (or is

of any material that violates Australian federal,

in any way a violation of intellectual property laws
or a third party's intellectual property rights.
2.5 In using the varied features
of the Services, you may provide information (such
as name, contact information, or other registration
information) to Zinidoo. Zinidoo
may use this information and any technical information
about your use of the Services to tailor its presentations
to you, facilitate your movement through the Service,
or communicate separately with you.
2.6 Zinidoo will not
use any of your subscriber lists or any other customer

TO YOU WILL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID FOR

You may not remove or export from the United States
or allow the export or re-export of the Services,

regulations of the United States or any other applicable
country.
7. Miscellaneous

statement of the mutual understanding of the parties
and supersedes and cancels all previous written and
oral agreements, communications, and other understandings
relating to the subject matter of the Agreement,
and that all waivers and modifications must be in

8. System Requirements
It is understood that in order to use Zinidoo,
a Mac or a PC with Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
(for PC's) and FireFox (for Macintosh) must be
used. Additionally, a stable connection to the
Internet is required.
9. Compliance rules for sending e-mail
All Zinidoo customers must follow the
rules of the federal CAN-SPAM act and Zinidoo's Anti-Spam
policy when sending e-mail through the service.
Accordingly, we require the following of e-mail
messages sent through the Zinidoo system:
- All e-mails must contain a one-click unsubscribe
link. Zinidoo scans every campaign
for the existance of an unsubscribe link. If
an unsubscribe link is not detected, the user
is informed and is recommended to include an
unsubscribe link before continuing.
- All e-mails must contain non-Internet contact
information of the sender, such as your company's
address, or your company's phone number.
- All e-mails must state the reason the recipient
is receiving the message. For example, "You
are receiving this message from ABC Company because
you signed up for our e-mail list at www.abc.com."
These 3 guidelines will help ensure that Zinidoo maintains its reputation and white-listing
status with a number of major ISPs and whitelisting
programs. If at any time your campaign is flagged
as SPAM by an AOL recipient, Zinidoo reserves
the right to cancel your account without notice.
10. Email and Permission Practices
10.1 Every email message sent in
connection with the Services must contain an "unsubscribe" link
or other mechanism that allows subscribers to remove
themselves from your mailing list. Each such link
must remain operational for a period of thirty (30)
days after the date on which you send the message,
and must be in form and substance satisfactory to
Zinidoo. You acknowledge and agree that
you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove
or disable either link.
10.2 You agree to import, access
or otherwise use only permission-based lists (note:
purchased lists may not be used; please contact Zinidoo if you have questions).
10.3 You cannot mail to distribution
lists, newsgroups, or spam email addresses.
10.4 You are responsible for monitoring,
correcting, processing unsubscribe requests within
10 days, and updating the email addresses to which
messages are sent through your Zinidoo
account.
10.5 Emails that you send through
the Service may generate abuse complaints from recipients.
As a matter of privacy, Zinidoo cannot
share with you the email addresses of those who complain
about your email campaign. You are responsible for
ensuring that your email campaigns do not generate
a number of abuse complaints in excess of industry
norms. Zinidoo, in its sole discretion,
shall determine whether your level of abuse complaints
is within industry norms, and its determination shall
be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes
under this Agreement.
10.6 Zinidoo, at its
own discretion, may immediately disable your access
without refund to the Services if Zinidoo
believes in its sole discretion that you have violated
any of the email and permission practices listed
above, or the Zinidoo Anti-Spam Policy. |
