Using The Spamcheck Tool Means Accepting these Terms #
Wouldn't it be nice if at the beginning of every relationship, everyone laid out the rules in plain English? Our lawyer thinks so. And because we've worked so hard to make Postmark what it is today, we couldn't help but agree…
So, these Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”), in conjunction with our Privacy Policy, are the entire Agreement between AC PM, LLC and its shareholders, affiliates, directors, officers, subsidiaries, employees, agents, suppliers, licensees, distributors, successors, resellers and assigns (“AC PM” or “We”) and you (“You” or the “User”). These Terms govern Your use of the Spamcheck Tool (spamcheck.postmarkapp.com) (the “Service”).
By using the Service, You are acknowledging that You have read and have agreed to these Terms, so please read them carefully. Seriously. We reserve the right to update these Terms from time to time without notice. Any changes that we make will become part of these Terms when we make them. So, please review these Terms periodically. If you cannot agree to these Terms, or to our Privacy Policy, please do not use the Service. And if You have any questions about them, don't hesitate to contact AC PM at support@postmarkapp.
Privacy and Communications #
You acknowledge and agree that AC PM may send You e-mails related to your account, where applicable, and/or the Service. Shocking, we know. You agree that AC PM, LLC can use your company name or logo in its advertising unless and until you tell us in writing not to.
Accounts, Passwords and Security #
Where applicable, You must be a registered User to access the Service. You are responsible for keeping Your password secure, and You are solely and strictly liable for any activity that occurs under Your user name. You also agree not to access, or attempt to access, other User's accounts and/or data — You wouldn't want anyone doing that to You, right?
Acceptable Use and Conduct #
You are solely responsible for Your data and for Your use of the Service. The Service may be used for lawful purposes only. Transmission, storage, or distribution of any information, data, or material in violation of any applicable laws or regulations is prohibited. This includes, but is not limited to: copyrighted material; trademarks; trade secrets or other intellectual property rights used without proper authorization; and/or material that is obscene, defamatory, constitutes an illegal threat, or violates export control laws. Unauthorized and/or unacceptable use of the Service is a violation of these Terms, may result in AC PM terminating Your account and may subject You to criminal and/or civil liability. So, follow the rules.
Appropriate Email Practices #
The Service may not be used to send mass emailing campaigns. This includes, but is not limited to, marketing materials, promotional information, newsletters and similar materials. Where applicable, You may only use the Service to send transactional email communication, which is defined by the Federal Trade Commission as communications which facilitate an already agreed upon transaction or updates a customer about an ongoing transaction.
All email lists contained and/or used with respect to the Service must be permission-based subscriptions. Use of a list that has been purchased or rented from a third party is prohibited.
Where applicable, it is Your responsibility to monitor and maintain unsubscribe requests for Your list that are outside of the functionalities of the Service. Emails sent unsolicited will receive abuse complaints that will be reflected on Your account. It is Your responsibility to maintain abuse results lower than the industry standard.
We reserve the right to terminate your account for, among any other reason in our sole discretion, violation of the provisions of this section.

DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES #
WE HAD TO MAKE THIS CONSPICUOUS BECAUSE OUR LAWYERS SAID SO. THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND YOU USE IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. AC PM EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND THE WARRANTY OF NON-INFRINGEMENT.
WE TRY TO KEEP THE SERVICE BUG-FREE AND SAFE, BUT AC PM DOES NOT WARRANT OR ENSURE CONTINUOUS, ERROR-FREE, SECURE OR VIRUS- FREE OPERATION OF THE SERVICE OR YOUR ACCOUNT. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU SHALL NOT BE ENTITLED TO MAKE ANY CLAIM BASED ON AC PM'S FAILURE, IRRESPECTIVE OF FAULT, TO PROVIDE ANY OF THE FOREGOING. LIKE WE SAID, YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.
WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, THE SERVICE IS NOT DESIGNED OR LICENSED FOR USE IN HAZARDOUS ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRING FAIL- SAFE CONTROLS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION/COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, AND LIFE SUPPORT OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS. IF SOMEONE'S LIFE OR THE FATE OF THE FREE WORLD DEPENDS ON YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, PLEASE DO NOT USE THE SERVICE.
SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE DISCLAIMER OF PARTICULAR WARRANTIES, AND, TO THAT EXTENT, THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU LIVE IN A JURISDICTION THAT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMERS, AC PM DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS AND IMPLIED, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY #

IN NO EVENT WILL AC PM HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR USE, ALTERATION, CORRUPTION, THEFT OR DESTRUCTION OF YOUR DATA AND/OR YOUR ACCOUNT.
AC PM'S LIABILITY IS EXPRESSLY LIMITED FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION TO THE AMOUNT YOU ACTUALLY PAID TO AC PM FOR THE SERVICE DURING THE THREE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE DATE ON WHICH YOU CLAIM THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUED.
SOME JURISDICTIONS' LAWS PROHIBIT THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY PROVISION. TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU LIVE IN A JURISDICTION THAT REFUSES TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING PROVISION, AC PM'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY THE LAW OF THAT JURISDICTION.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless AC PM from all damages, liabilities, claims and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or related to Your data, Your use of the Service and/or any breach of these Terms by You. You further agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless AC PM from all damages, liabilities, claims and expenses, including without limitation attorneys' fees and costs, arising from or related to any claims by third parties that Your data or Your use of the Service infringes upon, violates or misappropriates any of their Intellectual Property Rights or discloses their Proprietary Information.

Dispute Resolution by Arbitration #
YOU AGREE THAT THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE FORUM AND REMEDY FOR ANY AND ALL DISPUTES AND CLAIMS RELATING IN ANY WAY TO OR ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS, THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICE SHALL BE FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION, except that: (a) either of us may seek injunctive relief in state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois concerning infringement, misappropriation or other violation by either of us of the other party's Intellectual Property Rights, and (b) AC PM may seek injunctive relief in state or federal court located in Cook County, Illinois concerning violation by a User of any of these Terms, and in both such cases (a) and (b), the parties acknowledge that arbitration is not an adequate remedy at law and that injunctive or other appropriate relief may be sought.
Arbitration under this Agreement shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the "AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and, in the case of consumer disputes, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ( the "AAA Consumer Rules") (collectively the "AAA Rules"). The location of the arbitration shall be in Cook County, Illinois, and the allocation of costs and fees for such arbitration shall be determined in accordance with such AAA Rules and shall be subject to the limitations provided for in the AAA Consumer Rules (for consumer disputes). The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, YOU AND AC PM AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, AND THAT NO ARBITRATION OR CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS OF USE SHALL BE JOINED TO ANY OTHER ARBITRATION OR CLAIM, INCLUDING ANY ARBITRATION OR CLAIM INVOLVING ANY OTHER CURRENT OR FORMER USER OF THE SERVICES. IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY CLAIM, ACTION OR PROCEEDING BY YOU RELATED IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICE (INCLUDING YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE) BE INSTITUTED MORE THAN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION AROSE.
