1. Monthly Plans

In the case of the Monthly Plan, you will be billed monthly. If the monthly pre-payment subscription payment option is selected, you hereby authorize Mailigen to charge your credit card for such amounts on a monthly basis; generally on the first day of each month. Fees are payable in US dollars. If you choose to pay fees with a credit card you agree to pay them in the form of a recurring payment, under which the subscription fee is deducted automatically basing on the Account plan you have chosen. The recurring payment is initiated on the first day after the expiration date of the previous subscription (hereinafter referred to as the "recurring payment date"). If Mailigen is for any reason unable to receive an automatic payment via your credit card, you will be notified via email and your Mailigen account may be disabled and/or the your ability to use the Services suspended, until payment is received. Monthly pricing will vary based upon subscriber count; you are responsible for reviewing the Fee Schedule from time to time and remaining aware of the Fees charged by Mailigen.

Our charges for monthly plans are posted on our Website and may be changed from time-to-time. Payments are due for the full month for which any part of the month is included in the "Term." Payments are due for any month on the same date, or the closest date in that month, to the date of the month you signed up with us and made your first monthly payment (the "Pay Date"). For any month for which you have already paid, for which you increase either your number of email addresses or the number of Emails you send out to an amount that causes you to go to another pricing level, except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you will be required to pay at the higher level on or before the Pay Date for the following month.

If the number of subscribers stored in Customer's account exceeds the subscriber level purchased, Customer's access to and use of the Services will be disabled until either the number of subscribers stored in its account is reduced or Customer upgrades its subscriber level to at least equal the number of subscribers stored in its account. Customer's subscriber level may be upgraded (but not downgraded) at any time during the term of this Agreement. The total number of emails per month that may be sent by each Customer using the Service cannot exceed six (6) times the subscriber level limit. For example, if a Customer's subscriber level limit is 100,000, Customer can send up to 600,000 emails per month. If Customer requires a sending limit higher than six (6) times Customer's subscriber level limit per month, Customer should contact Mailigen’s sales team at info@mailigen.com

As long as you are a Member or have an outstanding balance with us, you agree to at all times provide us with valid credit card information. Any individual using a credit card represents and warrants that he or she is authorized to use such credit card and that any and all charges may be billed to such credit card and will not be rejected.

Whenever you increase the number of email addresses you are using or the number of Emails that you are going to be sending so that you are at a more expensive level, we may, at our sole discretion, require you to pay the difference in the monthly payment before the next Email is sent out.

Paid Subscription Fees are non-refundable. Customer acknowledges that from time to time, delivery of email messages sent using the Services may be blocked or prevented at destination email servers. Customer's payment obligation set forth herein continues regardless of whether delivery of such email messages is prevented or blocked by a third party.

2. Free Trial Period

In the event Customer elects to use the Services on a trial basis, Customer will not be billed for such use for a period of thirty (30) days commencing on the date Customer accepts this Agreement (as indicated below) (the "Trial Period"). During the Trial Period, Customer may use the Services subject to the subscriber limits posted on the Site. The subscriber limits for the Trial Period are subject to change at any time. Once Customer completes its free trial period or exceeds the free subscriber limit (even if Customer manually removes names from its subscriber list), whichever occurs first, the Trial Period will terminate. Upon such termination, Customer may purchase a monthly or annual subscription for the Services.

Trial accounts are limited to 20 subscribers and may send up to 100 emails. Every message is subject to manual message review during the trial period. Messages may be delayed as a result. You may upgrade your account at any time. If you have not upgraded your account by the end of the thirty (30) day trial period, you may log in and manage your lists, but you will not be able to send messages. Mailigen has a no tolerance spam policy that we take very seriously. Your account will be terminated if you send unsolicited email messages.

3. Epic Free account

In the case of the Epic Free email marketing account, customer will not be billed for use of the service as long as the customers subscriber list does not exceed 5,000 subscribers. Program terms require customers to use Mailigen signup forms to build their list.

4. Pay-as-You-Go-Plans

You may elect to buy "Email Credits" to use our Services, as explained on the "Pricing" page of our website, rather than sign up for a monthly plan. If you select a "Pay-as-You-Go Plan," you will still be considered a "Member" and all the terms of this Agreement will still apply to you other than the requirement that you pay us monthly.

For pay-as-you-go (prepaid) accounts, your email credits "roll over" and do not expire. However, if you do not log in to your account at least once for 12 months, your account (including all campaigns, lists, and other data) may be deleted permanently from our system.

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 recipients' email servers, ISP availability, personal spam filter settings, etc)
