By subscribing to this service, or by registering with any of the offered on www.phplist.com, you agree to be bound by these terms and conditions, between you and phpList limited. phpList Ltd's registered address is Unit 15 Marston Business Park, Lower Hazeldines, Marston Moretaine, Bedfordshire, MK43 0XT, United Kingdom. Company number 07582966.
phpList Ltd ("The Provider") provides phpList and its hosted services ("Service"). The Service is provided subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions ("Terms of Service") set forth below. Please read the following carefully.
The Provider reserves the right to update and modify the Terms of Service at any time without notice. New features that may be added to the Service shall be subject to the Terms of Service. Should you continue to use the Service after any such modifications have been made, this shall constitute your agreement to such modifications. You may always view the most recent copy of the Terms of Service here: https://www.phplist.com/terms
The phpList.com service is available only to persons who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. You must complete the registration process and agree to our Terms and Conditions in order to use phpList.com. All contact information you submit must be true, complete, and kept up to date.
As part of the registration process, you will identify an e-mail address and password for your phpList.com account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, passwords, and files, and for all users of your phpList.com account. The Provider reserves the right to refuse service or to terminate accounts for any user, and to change eligibility requirements at any time, at its sole discretion.
Any violation of any of the Terms will result in the termination of your account.
The Provider uses a third party to host the application servers and to provide communication services. The Provider will use all reasonable endeavours to ensure the third party undertakes to provide its services at or above industry standards. Accordingly, The Provider does not warrant that phpList.com will be uninterrupted, error, bug or virus free or that the delivery or emails will be without delay.
It may be necessary to temporarily suspend phpList.com from time to time to carry out maintenance of equipment; such suspensions will be limited and will take place as much as possible outside core working hours. However, phpList.com may also be suspended (in whole or part) where The Provider or the third party host is obliged to comply with an order, instruction or request of government, a court or other competent administrative authority or an emergency service organisation.
The delivery of emails to recipients cannot be guaranteed and is dependent upon accurate and up to date email addresses, upon suitable internet availability and connectivity, on various anti spam and junk mail policies adopted by the recipients' email service providers as well as restrictions regarding the content, wording and graphics of an email. The Provider makes no representations or warranties whatsoever about the speed or proportion of emails sent that will be delivered.
In addition, The Provider makes no guarantee that HTML messages will render properly in all subscribers' email programs, due to the wide variety of HTML generation tools available. For best results The Provider recommends the use of HTML editors that adhere to W3C standards, but still does not guarantee a perfect rendering in all subscriber inboxes.
The phpList.com service may only be used for lawful purposes. Transmission or solicitation of any material that violates UK, US, state or other laws that may apply in your local area is prohibited. This may include material that is obscene, threatening, harassing, libellous, or in any way a violation of intellectual property laws or a third party's intellectual property rights.
You may not use phpList.com to distribute illegal contests, pyramid schemes, chain letters, or multi-level marketing campaigns.
You may not use phpList.com to send email campaigns that link to or display nudity, obscene content, online gambling related content, pharmaceutical related content, illegal software, viruses, or to distribute any other content that we deem inappropriate.
You will adopt and maintain The Provider 's Anti-Spam and Privacy Policy and these Terms, which (all) may be modified by The Provider from time to time.
The Provider has the right (but not the obligation) to require you to remove, prohibit or discontinue any content on phpList.com which The Provider, at its sole discretion, determines to be harmful, offensive or otherwise in violation of the Terms and Conditions.
You shall pay the charges for phpList.com as set out on the phpList.com website or in accordance with the payment terms agreed with The Provider. You will be subject to monthly subscription fees in accordance with the fee schedule.
All charges quoted for the provision of phpList.com are inclusive of any Value Added Tax. If you are VAT registered in Europe, you will need to take care of your own VAT payments.
The Provider does not provide refunds for unused monthly subscriptions (even/especially if we had to shut down your account for violating these terms).
Payments can be submitted only by providing credit card information and by agreeing to a monthly debit on your account when registering for phpList.com. Credit cards will be debited on the day of each calendar month that you made your first payment. If you exceed the amount included in your subscription package, your sending capability will be suspended for that month.
If, for whatever reason, The Provider is unable to process your credit card order, The Provider will attempt to contact you by email and will pause usage of the account until the payment can be processed.
You agree to pay for all emails you send from your account, even if messages are blocked by any third party (we have no control over your subscribers' email servers, ISP availability, personal spam filter settings, etc).
Fees are payable in US dollars, British pounds or Euros.
The Provider reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service at any time for any reason with or without notice.
The present rates for phpList.com services are stated on the phpList.com website.
The Provider reserves the right to change our monthly fees upon 30 days notice from us. Fee change notices may be posted to the Service or on the phplist.com website: http://www.phpList.com/prices
Continued use of phpList.com following the effective date of any change in prices shall be considered acceptance of such change.
You alone are responsible for the proper cancellation of your account. You may cancel your account at any time. To request cancellation of your monthly payments, you must use the facility on the Payments tab of your account pages. Direct email or phone requests to cancel your account will not be deemed cancellation - you must use the 'Contact Us' form. You can find the 'Contact Us' form here: http://www.phplist.com/contactus
To cancel the recurring monthly payments, visit the Payments tab of your account page, where you will find a cancellation button. This will not erase your account.
The Provider will then close down your account and cancel the recurring payments agreement.
Whilst you can cancel at any time, you will remain liable for all charges accrued up to that time, including full monthly charges for the month which you discontinued service. You will not be charged again.
If your first payment has already been processed, The Provider will only refund the full amount if (a) the request is received within 7 days after sign up and (b) you have not used the service to send any campaign(s). If you have paid for several months in advance, you can request a refund by contacting us using the Contact Us form. We will then calculate your refund based on the full month price without any discounts for the months the service was used, including the month of your request. Additionally a $50 administration fee will be added. This may mean there is nothing left to refund.
