1. REGISTRATION

User certifies to Secure SMTP that, if an individual, he/she is at least 18 years of age. In the event a minor wishes to use the Service, the minor's parent or legal guardian shall register as the User.  Thereafter, such User may authorize a minor's use of User's account under adult supervision and with assumption of all liabilities resulting from such minor's use.

2. AMENDMENTS AND ASSIGNMENTS

Secure SMTP reserves the right to modify this Agreement at any time, including changing, adding any fees or surcharges payable under this Agreement. Any modification in fees or surcharges is effective upon five days notice to User either by a posting on the Secure SMTP web site (www.smtp-server.com) or by an electronic mail message. If any modification to the Agreement is unacceptable to the User, the User is entitled to terminate immediately this Agreement and its use of the Service, as provided in Section 5 below. USER'S CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICE FOLLOWING NOTICE OF MODIFICATION TO THE AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONCLUSIVELY DEEMED ITS ACCEPTANCE OF THE MODIFICATION.

3. GRANT OF RIGHTS AND ACCEPTABLE USE

Provided User has not breached any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Secure SMTP grants to User a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited, terminable right to use the Service for legitimate personal and business purposes. User shall not use the Service or permit any third party to use the Service to conduct any business or activity, or solicit the performance of any activity, which is prohibited by or would violate any applicable law or legal obligation, or for purposes that may create civil or criminal liability, including but not limited to: (a) uses which are defamatory, deceptive, obscene, or otherwise inappropriate; (b) uses that violate or infringe upon the rights of any other person, such as unauthorized distribution of copyrighted material; (c) "spamming," sending unsolicited bulk e-mail messages or sending unsolicited advertising or similar conduct; (d) threats to or harassment of another; (e) knowingly sending any virus, worm, cancelbot, or other harmful component; and (f) violating U.S., Canadian, or another country's export regulations by mailing abroad restricted data or software. If User violates these rules or Secure SMTP learns of other unlawful or harmful use of the Service by User, Secure SMTP may immediately terminate this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Secure SMTP may disable User's access to the Service, cancel User's account, or take other action it deems appropriate, including notifying the authorities and suing for damages.

User agrees that User will not knowingly use the Service and will not permit any third party to use the Service (i) in a manner which significantly and adversely affects the performance or availability to other users of the Service or other services provided by Secure SMTP, or (ii) in a manner that interferes in any way with Secure SMTP’s computers or network security, or (iii) to attempt to gain unauthorized access to any unrelated person’s computer system. Secure SMTP also reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement or suspend User's account if it is the unwitting recipient of "mail bombs" or other harmful devices that could cause problems for the entire Service.

User shall immediately notify Secure SMTP of any security breach in, or unauthorized use of, User's account.

4. FILE PROTECTION

User is responsible for creating and retaining copies of all files as may be necessary for reconstruction of any files, information, data or other material or messages, which may be lost or improperly processed by the Service, and Secure SMTP shall have no liability to user for such lost files.

User acknowledges that Secure SMTP may from to time to time establish general practices and limits concerning use of the Service, including without limitation the maximum number of days that email messages will be retained by the Service, the maximum number of email messages that may be sent from an account on the Service, the maximum size of any email message that may be sent from an account on the Service, and the maximum number of times (and the maximum duration for which) User may access the Service in a given period of time. User agrees that Secure SMTP has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or failure to store any messages and other communications maintained or transmitted by the Service. You acknowledge that Secure SMTP reserves the right to terminate accounts that are inactive for an extended period of time.

4. Either Secure SMTP or User may terminate the Services and this Agreement for any reason upon five days written notice to the other party.

Secure SMTP shall not be liable to User or any third party for termination of the Service, even if it has been advised of the potential harm.
5. Secure SMTP shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately for any breach of this Agreement by User.

7. User's only right, with respect to any dissatisfaction with any term, policy, guideline, action, or practice of Secure SMTP, content available through the Service or change therein, or imposition of fees for use of the Service, is to terminate User's use of the Service by delivering notice of termination to Secure SMTP. User agrees that a subscription to the Service is not a right but a privilege and that a subscription is a contractual relationship only.

6. INDEMNIFICATION BY USER

USER AGREES TO INDEMNIFY AND HOLD Secure SMTP AND ITS DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES HARMLESS AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, LIABILITY, DAMAGES, COSTS AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEY'S FEES) ARISING FROM THE USER'S USE OF THE SERVICE OR A VIOLATION OF THIS AGREEMENT.

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS," "AS AVAILABLE", BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. NO ORAL ADVICE OR WRITTEN INFORMATION GIVEN BY Secure SMTP, ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, OR THE LIKE, SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY.
