The FusionExpress Terms of Use
Through FusionExpress (the "Services") FusionExpress
("FusionExpress") provides web site operators and other
individuals a variety of tools and resources 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 FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress, and any guidelines, rules or operating
policies that FusionExpress may establish and post from time
to time (the "Agreement"). By posting updated versions
of the Agreement at the FusionExpress web site, or otherwise
providing notice to you, FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress. Normal FusionExpress accounts allow you to send an unlimited number of e-mail
messages. The total KiloByte data transfer of each message can be
no more than 100kb.
1.5 All email delivery prices are subject to change at any time.
All fees paid to Techfusion Limited for FusionExpress are non-refundable,
unless an account is terminated by FusionExpress for a reason
other than violation of the Anti-Spam Policy. 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 FusionExpress.
1.6 For all accounts, FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress 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.
FusionExpress reserves the right to refuse registration of, or
cancel, accounts it deems inappropriate.
1.8 It is understood that FusionExpress 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.
FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress 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

Services ("Software"); remove any proprietary notices
or labels from the Services or any Software, modify, translate,

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

that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing or otherwise
arising from or relating to your use of the Services. Although FusionExpress has no obligation to monitor the content provided by you

of United Kingdom or any other applicable country.
7. Miscellaneous

or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the
minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise
remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
7.2 FusionExpress and you agree that the Agreement is the complete
and exclusive 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

8. System Requirements
It is understood that in order to use FusionExpress, a Windows
PC with Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher must be used. Additionally,
a stable connection to the Internet is required. FusionExpress
may work in a limited manner on Macintosh, Unix, and other platforms,
but there is no guarantee of functionality on non-Windows platforms.
Additionally, FusionExpress may work in a limited manner on
a non-Internet Explorer web browser (such as Netscape Navigator),
but there is no guarantee of full functionality on web browsers
other than Microsoft's Internet Explorer.
9. Compliance rules for sending e-mail
All FusionExpress customers must follow the rules of the federal
CAN-SPAM act and FusionExpress's Anti-Spam
policy when sending
e-mail through the service. Accordingly, we require the following
of e-mail messages sent through the FusionExpress system:
- All e-mails must contain a one-click unsubscribe link. FusionExpress 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
FusionExpress 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, FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress. 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 FusionExpress 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 FusionExpress account.
10.5 Emails that you send through the Service may generate abuse
complaints from recipients. As a matter of privacy, FusionExpress
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. FusionExpress, 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 FusionExpress, at its own discretion, may immediately disable
your access without refund to the Services if FusionExpress believes
in its sole discretion that you have violated any of the email and
permission practices listed above, or the FusionExpress Anti-Spam
Policy.
