or a single entity ("the CLIENT"), and NMA,Inc. ("NMA") that sets forth the terms and 
conditions of Your BASIC Account for Your use of NMA ZSENTRY Mail Service (the "SERVICE"). 
NMA licenses the SERVICE to You upon the express condition that You accept all of the terms 
and conditions in this AGREEMENT. NMA may at any time and without notice to You, change the 
terms of this AGREEMENT. A current copy of the terms and conditions may be found on our web 
site at zsentry.com (the "SITE").

You are asked to read and be familiar with this AGREEMENT; in case of any questions, check 
the SERVICE guides online at the Support Center, the screen-by-screen icons, or request a
Support Ticket.  If You use the Service, and as confirmed by Your use of the SERVICE after 
the first time, You unconditionally agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of this 
AGREEMENT.  Please read the AGREEMENT carefully before using the SERVICE.

1.  IDENTITY REPRESENTATION. You represent, under penalty of perjury, that all the 
information provided by You when You register to use the SERVICE is correct, accurate and 
legally yours to use as Your personal identifiers for the SERVICE. You may declare a 
pseudonymous identity for Your NAME and EMAIL ADDRESS, only, provided that You conform to all 
provisions of this AGREEMENT. In particular, You shall not create a false identity for the 
purpose of misleading others as to Your identity or anything related to a message, including 
but not limited to source and contents. Minors cannot use the SERVICE unless they have parental 
consent to open and maintain an Account. We reserve the right to verify Account eligibility 
and identity representations at any time.

1a. NAME PROTECTION POLICY. If elements of Your NAME, EMAIL ADDRESS or ACCOUNT NAME / 
ORGANIZATION match elements of certain NAMES, ORGANIZATIONS or EMAIL ADDRESSES, that are 
registered with us or have been subject of abuse, the SERVICE may require your justification 
to use those identifiers, for our review. This policy is necessary to help protect our users, 
including You, from abuse, spam, spoofing and phishing.

2.  BASIC READER ACCOUNT. Your BASIC READER (also called "BASIC" or Plan "R") account is 
provided to You (the "ACCOUNT USER") to read messages that are sent to You using the SERVICE. 
You can also reply securely to a PREMIUM user, with no limitation. In addition, you can use 
the BASIC account to send messages using the SERVICE, for Your personal use only and up to 
the limit of 5 (five) messages a day, non-cumulative. In general, if your EMAIL ADDRESS uses 
your employer's or business domain name, then no messages sent using that address will be 
considered personal; you can use such address for test purposes only. The number of users logged in for BASIC accounts may be restricted at 
any time and / or BASIC service may be delayed.

2.a. COMMERCIAL USE AND RESALE RIGHTS. Any commercial use of the BASIC account, including 
the resale of its services, is expressly prohibited.

You agree to keep Your LOGIN DATA confidential and to inform NMA promptly upon the unintended 
and/or undesired disclosure of any portion of such information.

(Your "USER KEYS"). YOU UNDERSTAND THAT UNLESSYOU CAN LOG IN, YOUR USER KEYS AND ANY DATA 
ENCRYPTED WITH THEM ARE NOT AVAILABLE.

5.  USER DATA. The SERVICE assigns to You an area for user data storage, such as the contacts 
in your Address Book. Data stored in this area is encrypted using one or more USER KEYS. YOU 
UNDERSTAND THAT UNLESS YOU CAN LOG IN, YOUR USER DATA IS NOT AVAILABLE.

6.  MESSAGE DATA. The SERVICE does not offer message data storage, except for transient
buffers when a message is in queue for transmission. Some email messages may not be sent due 
to space constraints or outbound message limitations. YOU AGREE THAT THE SERVICEIS NOT 
RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR THE DELETION OR FAILURE TO SEND MESSAGES OR OTHER INFORMATION.

7.  MESSAGE POLICY AND WARNING. You alone are responsible for the content of Your messages 
and USER DATA, and the consequences of any such messages and data.  You agree You will not use 
the SERVICE to send any messages that are unlawful, harassing or encourages conduct that could 
constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any 
applicable local, state, national or international law or regulation. You expressly consent and 
are advised that if there is evidence of criminal activity when registering for and/or using 
the SERVICE, system personnel may provide the evidence to law enforcement officials.

7a. SPAM. YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT USE THE SERVICE FOR SENDING SPAM. Without limitation, the
word spam as applied to the SERVICE and email messages means Unsolicited Bulk Email. Unsolicited
means that the recipient has not granted verifiable permission for the message to be sent. Bulk
means that the message is sent as part of a larger collection of messages, all having
substantively identical content. For the purposes of this AGREEMENT and as a non-limiting
example, a message is spam if it is BOTH Unsolicited and Bulk Email. Unsolicited email may be
normal email (examples include first contact inquiries, job inquiries, and sales inquiries). Bulk
email may be normal email (examples include subscriber newsletters, discussion lists, information
lists, and update announcements).

7b. SPAM PENALTY. Notwithstanding other penalties and civil or criminal procedures, sending SPAM
messages using the SERVICE shall be charged at the per-recipient cost of $1.00 for the first 
offense, $2.00 for the second offense, and $3.00 afterward.

7c. BASIC EXCESSIVE-USE CHARGE. The BASIC SERVICE provides a free community service and open 
access resource that are available to all. The BASIC SERVICE is paid in part by PREMIUM users, 
allowing their recipients the right to read and reply securely without cost, and thereby 
preserves the Internet free-cost model of email. Therefore, in order to assure fair use by 
all and quality of service for paid users, if you use the BASIC SERVICE to send or try to send 
messages in excess of the limits defined in article 2 (BASIC READER ACCOUNT), and continue to 
do so even after receiving a warning from the SERVICE, Your account shall be suspended and 
cannot be reset or used until charged at the PREMIUM SERVICE rate level for at least one month 
of service. Tolerance in not requesting the payment for excessive use of the BASIC SERVICE does 
not mean agreement to such behavior, or that charges shall not be applied later.

8.  BASIC ACCOUNT TERMINATION. The SERVICE may terminate Your access to the BASIC account and 
any related service(s) at any time, with or without cause, with or without notice, effective 
immediately, for any reason whatsoever. You agree that the SERVICE has no obligation to make
