GREATMAIL TERMS OF SERVICE
This Terms of Service Agreement ("Agreement") is an agreement between you ("User") and Greatmail LLC ("Greatmail").
I. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT
The Services, as defined below, are provided to User under the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Greatmail may modify or supplement this Agreement at any time. Any revisions to this Agreement will become effective when posted unless otherwise noted.
This Agreement, which incorporates by reference our Privacy Policy, and Anti-Spam Policy, comprises the entire agreement between User and Greatmail and supersedes any prior agreements pertaining to the subject matter contained herein. BY COMPLETING THE REGISTRATION PROCESS AND CLICKING THE "I ACCEPT" BUTTON, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BE BOUND BY THIS TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT.
II. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES
Greatmail is providing User with any or all of the following services: (a) electronic mail services; and/or (b) any other services which Greatmail may provide in the future (collectively, the "Services"). These Services are provided to User at the discretion of Greatmail. User agrees that the services may include certain communications from Greatmail such as service announcements and administrative messages, that these communications are considered part of User's account, and that User will not be able to opt out of receiving them. With the exception of upgraded accounts, Greatmail reserves the right to delete any User's account if such User does not access their free mail account for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days.
Greatmail reserves the right to modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services with or without notice to User. User agrees that Greatmail shall not be liable to User or any third party for any modification or discontinuance of the Services.
Greatmail reserves the right to change or alter its identity at any time and offer similar services to User at a domain other than Greatmail.com. User may be informed that User's account known as UsersName@greatmail.com, where UsersName represents User's accepted User name, shall no longer exist at Greatmail.com. User may be informed that User's account shall be available and accessible to User at a different domain. For example, UsersName@greatmail.com shall change to UsersName@DifferentDomain.com where DifferentDomain represents a different domain. User may be able to access Services at DifferentDomain.com where DifferentDomain represents some domain other than Greatmail.com.
User understands and agrees that the Services are provided "AS-IS" and that Greatmail assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery, or failure to store any User communications or personalization settings. User is responsible for obtaining access to the Services and that access may involve third party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). User is responsible for those fees. In addition, User must provide and is responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Services.
III. USER'S REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS
User must be at least eighteen (18) years old to register for the Services. In consideration of use of the Services, User agrees to: (a) provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about User as prompted by the registration form; and (b) maintain and promptly update this information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete. This information about a User shall be referred to as "Registration Data." If any information provided by User is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, Greatmail has the right to terminate User's account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof).
IV. USER CONTENT
Greatmail considers email transmitted via the Services to be the private correspondence of the sender. Greatmail will not monitor, edit, or disclose the contents of a User's private communications, except that User agrees Greatmail and its third party service providers may do so: (a) as required by law; (b) to comply with legal process; (c) if necessary to enforce this Agreement; (d) to respond to claims that such contents violate the rights of third parties; or (e) to protect the rights or property of Greatmail, its third party service providers, or others.
User acknowledges that content posted to public community areas is publicly available and that Greatmail does not take any responsibility for such public content. However, Greatmail reserves the right to remove any public content posted by a User that violates any law or condition of this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.
User understands and agrees that technical (and sometimes manual) processing of email communications, search requests, community postings, and any other information supplied by User is and may be required to (a) send and receive messages; (b) conform to the technical requirements of connecting networks; (c) conform to the limitations of the Services; or (d) conform to other, similar technical requirements.
User acknowledges and agrees that Greatmail and its third party service providers do not endorse the content of any User communications and are not responsible or liable for any unlawful, harassing, libelous, privacy invading, abusive, threatening, harmful, vulgar, obscene, tortious, or otherwise objectionable content, or content that infringes or may infringe the intellectual property rights or other rights of another.
V. USERNAME, MEMBER ACCOUNT, PASSWORD, AND SECURITY
User will be asked to choose the first part of its username which will be followed by the "@" symbol and a domain name. (A complete username might look like this: YourName@Greatmail.) User agrees to choose a username which is unique and not obscene, unlawful, or otherwise objectionable, in Greatmail's sole discretion. User agrees to register only one account at Greatmail. Greatmail shall own your complete username.
User will receive a password and account designation upon completing the registration process. User is responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and is fully responsible for all activities which occur under User's password or account. User agrees to (a) immediately notify Greatmail of any unauthorized use of User's password or account or any other breach of security, and (b) ensure that User exits from User's account at the end of each session.
VI. INFRINGEMENT
User represents that the username selected by the User, when used alone or combined with a second or third level domain name, does not interfere with the rights of any third party and is not being selected for any unlawful purpose. User acknowledges and agrees that if such selection does interfere with the rights of any third party or is being selected for any unlawful purpose, Greatmail may immediately suspend the use of such Greatmail e-mail address, and User will indemnify and hold Greatmail harmless, in accordance with the Indemnity section below, for any claim or demand against Greatmail that arises out of such selection. User acknowledges and agrees that neither Greatmail nor any of its third party service providers shall be liable to User in the event Greatmail is ordered or required, as a result of a court order or legal settlement, or contractual requirement with any third party service provider, to desist from using or permitting the use of a particular domain name as part of a Greatmail e-mail address. If as a result of such action, User loses an e-mail address, the User's sole remedy shall be the receipt of a replacement Greatmail e-mail address.
VII. USER CONDUCT
User agrees to abide by all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations in User's use of the Services, and agrees not to interfere with the use and enjoyment of the Services by other Users.

Furthermore, User agrees and acknowledges that Greatmail may recover damages from User if User abuses these terms.
VIII. INDEMNITY
User agrees to indemnify and hold Greatmail and its third party service providers, and their parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, and employees, harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable attorneys' fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of User's use of the Services, User's connection to the Services, User's submission, posting, or transmission of content through the Services, User's violation of this Agreement, or User's violation of any rights of another.
