Through our  Email Marketing Plans andServices (the “Services”) HBJamaica (“HBJamaica Email Marketing Services”) 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 ordering, you have agreed to the following: “I have read the HBJamaica Terms of Use statement. I accept these terms and conditions”.

Services and Support
The Services are provided subject to this Agreement, as it may be amended by HBJamaica, and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that HBJamaica may establish and post from time to time (the “Agreement”). By posting updated versions of the Agreement at the web site, or otherwise providing notice to you, HBJamaica 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.

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 HBJamaica according to the plan ordered.

1.5 All email delivery prices are subject to change at any time. All fees paid to HBJamaica for its Email Marketing Services are non-refundable, unless an account is terminated by HBJamaica for a reason other than violation of the Anti-Spam Policy. Payment for Services will be made by a valid credit card accepted by HBJamaica, unless other payment arrangements have been made between you and an authorized HBJamaica representative. You will be invoiced monthly to make your payment using PayPal on a timely basis. 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 HBJamaica.

1.6 For all accounts, HBJamaica 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 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 HBJamaica 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. HBJamaica reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel, accounts it deems inappropriate.

1.8 It is understood that HBJamaica 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. HBJamaica 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 HBJamaica recommends, but does not guarantee, the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards.

9. Compliance rules for sending e-mail

All HBJamaica customers must follow the rules of the federal CAN-SPAM act and HBJamaica Email Marketing Services’s Anti-Spam policy when sending e-mail through the service. Accordingly, we require the following of e-mail messages sent through the HBJamaica system:

1. All e-mails must contain a one-click unsubscribe link. HBJamaica 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.

2. All e-mails must contain non-Internet contact information of the sender, such as your company’s address, or your company’s phone number.

3. 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 HBJamaica 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, HBJamaica reserves the right to cancel your account without notice.
