Delivery Rates and Spam Filters

We strive to ensure that emails you send out reach their destination. That said we cannot guarantee 100% email delivery based on a number of factors out of our control...

1. An email account in your list might be full and thus the email will not arrive to that recipient

2. An email account in your list might no longer exist

3. Your email is blocked as being "spammy" by the receiving email server. This is always a tough one as your email might be legitimate but spam filters on the receiving end could view your email as being "spammy". This is based on a host of factors from subject line content, to the email being html vs text, to the content in the emailer to the # of images in the emailer. No two spam filters are the same and each receiving email server has different software they might use and different settings for that software in play. To add to this each end user also has spam filters likely in place as well.

4. We always strive to ensure that our sending servers IP address has a good reputation which helps us to be able to get good delivery rates

5. We do not reimburse clients for any emails that might not have been delivered or that were delivered to a persons spam folder.

Prohibited Uses

1. Illegal Activities - Any activity which violates local, state, federal or international law. Examples include: Posting or disseminating illegal material (such as child pornography or obscene material.)

2.
