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.

in your Address Book. Data stored in this area is encrypted using one or more USER KEYS. YOU

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, 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

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.

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
