Campaign Monitor Pty Ltd (ABN 42 094 533 445) (“Campaign Monitor”, “we”, “our” and “us”) provides its users (“you” and “your”) with a variety of products, services, applications, tools and other resources (including our website(s)) (the “Services”) to enable you to collect visitor and subscriber information from your end user customers (each, a “Subscriber” and, collectively, your “Subscribers”) and to help you create, launch, and manage online email campaigns.
The Services are provided subject to these terms and conditions, which also incorporate our Anti-Spam policy, our Privacy Policy, and any other guidelines, rules or operating policies that Campaign Monitor may establish and post on the Services from time to time (collectively the “Agreement”). The servers we use to provide the Services (the “Servers”) are located in the United States. In the event that data is transferred to our Servers from within the European Economic Area our Data Transfer Clauses will apply to that transfer and will form part of this Agreement.
Please read this Agreement carefully before proceeding with any use of the Services. By checking the “I have read the Campaign Monitor Agreement. I accept these terms and conditions” box on the Free Trial page or after logging in for the first time, you accept and agree to be bound by this Agreement.
If you do not accept the terms and conditions of this Agreement, please exit this website and cease using the Services immediately.
You must complete the registration form on the signup page 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 provide an email address, username and password for your Campaign Monitor account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, username, passwords, and files and for all uses of your account and of the Services in your name. Campaign Monitor reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel accounts it deems inappropriate.
1.1 By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the Services, or otherwise providing notice to you, Campaign Monitor may modify the terms of this 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 Campaign Monitor website. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the modification(s) to the Agreement. Campaign Monitor will use reasonable efforts to make you aware of any changes to the terms of this Agreement. If you elect to discontinue using the Services due to any changes to the Agreement made under this section 1.1, you may be entitled to a refund for any unused, prepaid amounts for the Services.
1.2 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, your use of the Services is expressly prohibited.
1.3 The Services enable you as corporate, small business and community websites operators to sign up Subscribers, collect and retrieve Subscriber sign-up data, and to develop and execute email communications with Subscribers.
1.4 Both the number of email messages you send and the number of KiloBytes of data transferred when sending email messages are metered by Campaign Monitor. We reserve the right to charge for certain or all Services; you must pay all applicable fees in order to use our Services. If you have a paid subscription version of the Services, you are allowed to send an unlimited number of email messages, provided that the total KiloByte data transfer of each message can be no more than 300kb.
As part of the Services, you may be able to send transactional messages to your Subscribers. “Transactional Messages” are defined as communications that may be [automatically] sent upon a trigger action by a Subscriber (for example, if a Subscriber makes a purchase on your site or application, the Subscriber may automatically receive an email with an order confirmation and shipping updates). You may not use Transactional Messages to send bulk or commercial messages to Subscribers unless the applicable Subscriber has opted in and agreed to receive such messages. If you use the Transactional Messages feature, you must allow your Subscribers to “unsubscribe” from such communications and/or allow your Subscribers to adjust their preferences to receive Transactional Messages on the relevant account settings or preferences page or tab of your services and you must promptly comply with all such “unsubscribe” requests. You must also create and operate a unique email alias or other means for keeping track of and responding to Subscriber feedback and requests regarding Transactional Messages you send.
1.5 Current Subscription Plan options for the Services (including features for each Subscription Plan) are available here. Pricing for each Subscription Plan is also available on Campaign Monitor’s Billing Page inside the application (see the help document for how to access the Multi-Client Account Billing Page, and see the help document for how to access the No Client Account Billing Page). All pricing for the Services are subject to change at any time. You are responsible for reviewing the Campaign Monitor Billing Page and paying all fees associated with the Subscription Plan you have selected. In order to continue paying the listed fees for the Subscription Plan you have selected, you may only use the features included in that Subscription Plan. If you use any features which are only included in a higher-priced Subscription Plan, or if you otherwise exceed the allowable limits of your current Subscription Plan, Campaign Monitor reserves the right to automatically upgrade your account to the appropriate higher-priced Subscription Plan and charge you the applicable fees for that Plan. Campaign Monitor may contact you to warn you if you have exceeded the included features or other limits of your current Subscription Plan, but you are solely responsible for reviewing the Campaign Monitor Billing Page and remaining aware of the limits of your Plan. All fees paid to Campaign Monitor for the Services are non-refundable, unless your account is terminated by you under clause 1.1 or by Campaign Monitor due to your breach of this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Anti-Spam Policy). Payment for Services must be made by a valid credit card accepted by Campaign Monitor, unless other payment arrangements have been made between you and an authorized Campaign Monitor representative. You hereby authorize Campaign Monitor to charge your credit card whenever you use the Services to send a campaign to more than 5 recipients, or on a monthly basis in accordance with the fees associated with Subscription Plan you have selected and/or used. Fees are payable in US dollars. If Campaign Monitor is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, you will be notified via email and Campaign Monitor reserves the right to suspend your access to and/or use of the Services until you are current on your payments.
1.6 For all accounts, Campaign Monitor may charge an account re-activation fee should an account need to be re-activated after an account has become de-activated due to non-payment, an untimely authorization for payment, a breach of this Agreement, or any other reason.
1.7 Campaign Monitor makes every reasonable attempt to make sure that all email messages sent through our Servers follow email standards, but we cannot guarantee that messages will look consistent across all email platforms due to the number of different HTML composition tools available. For example, if you use Microsoft Word to generate HTML email messages, it is expected that recipients of your message using a non-Microsoft email application may have difficulty reading your message. Campaign Monitor recommends the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards.
1.8 By submitting any User Content (defined below) through or using the Services, you hereby do and shall grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free, fully paid, sublicensable and transferable license to use, edit, modify, aggregate, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works of, display, perform, and otherwise fully exploit the User Content in connection the Services and our (and our successors’ and assigns’) businesses. For clarity, the foregoing license grants to us and our users do not affect your other ownership or license rights in your User Content unless otherwise agreed in writing. You represent and warrant that you have all rights to grant such licenses to us without infringement or violation of any third party rights, including without limitation, any privacy rights, publicity rights, copyrights, trademarks, contract rights, or any other intellectual property or proprietary rights.

If you are using the Services in any country in the European Community or Australia, the prohibition against modifying, translating, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling or creating derivative works based on the Services or the Software does not affect your rights under any legislation implementing the E.C. Council Directive on the Legal Protection of Computer Programs or the Australian Copyright Act 1968 (Cth).
2.2 You acknowledge and agree that the Services, the Software, and the Campaign Monitor company names and logos and all related product and service names, design marks and slogans (collectively, the “Marks”), and all other material comprising the Software and the Services, are the property of Campaign Monitor or its affiliates or suppliers.

You are not authorized to use any of the Marks in any advertising, publicity or any other commercial manner without the prior written consent of Campaign Monitor. Your use of the Services confers no title or ownership in the Services, the Software or the Marks and is not a sale of any rights in the Services, the Software or the Marks. All ownership rights remain in Campaign Monitor or its third party suppliers, as applicable.
2.3 You represent, covenant, and warrant that you will use the Services only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable laws (including but not limited to policies and laws related to spamming, privacy, obscenity, and defamation and regulations such as HPIAA, GLB, EU Data Privacy Laws and other similar or applicable laws). You are solely responsible and liable for compliance with the foregoing, and agree to indemnify and hold us harmless for any alleged violation relating to the foregoing.

Campaign Monitor may use this information and any technical information about your use of the Services to tailor the user experience of the Services to you, facilitate your use of the Services, or to communicate with you.
2.5 Campaign Monitor will not use any of your subscriber lists or any other Customer information for any other purposes than those related to the Services. In addition, Campaign Monitor will not use Subscriber information for the purpose of sending unsolicited commercial email.
2.6 You will adopt and maintain a policy that complies with all applicable privacy laws and which is at least as stringent as our Privacy Policy (as may be modified by Campaign Monitor from time to time). You agree to bind each of your Subscribers to terms and conditions and a privacy policy that is at least as protective of Campaign Monitor as this Agreement. You represent and warrant that all personal information that you provide to us (including, without limitation, that of your Subscribers) has been collected with the relevant Subscriber’s consent, and that you have informed the Subscriber of our Privacy Policy and the purpose for which that information was collected, and that you may provide this information to us for the purposes of use in relation to the Services. You acknowledge that we may store the personal information that you provide to us on servers located in the United States of America. You warrant that you have obtained the consent of your Subscribers to the storage, handling and transmission of their personal information to and by Campaign Monitor as described.

It is understood that in order to use the Services, a modern browser such as Internet Explorer 10, Firefox 20, Safari 5 or Google Chrome 30 is required. Additionally, a stable connection to the Internet is required. The Services may work in a limited manner on other web browsers (such as earlier versions of the previously mentioned browsers), but the Services were not designed for use on web browsers other than those recommended above.
All Campaign Monitor customers must follow the rules of the Australian Spam Act 2003 (Cth) (and equivalent anti-spam legislation in all applicable countries) and Campaign Monitor’s Anti-Spam policy when sending emails through the Services. We require the following (among other things) of all email messages sent through the Services:
1. All emails must contain a Campaign Monitor “unsubscribe” link that allows subscribers to instantly remove themselves from your mailing list. Each such link must remain operational for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which you send the message, and must be in form and substance satisfactory to Campaign Monitor. You acknowledge and agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable either link. Campaign Monitor scans every campaign for the existence of an unsubscribe link. If an unsubscribe link is not detected, you will be informed and required to include a Campaign Monitor unsubscribe link before continuing.
2. All emails must contain non-Internet contact information of the sender or the entity on whose behalf the email was sent, such as that entity’s address or phone number.
3. All emails 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 email list at www.abc.com.”
4. All emails must be compliant with any disclosure requirements that apply to the sender (e.g., some countries’ laws require that business letters, including emails, contain further identification details as to the form of the organization, the place of incorporation, the names of executives etc.)
These 4 guidelines will help ensure that Campaign Monitor 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 a recipient, Campaign Monitor reserves the right to cancel your account without notice. For further information in relation to spam, please read our Anti-Spam Policy (which forms part of this Agreement, including your spam indemnity).
Please see our Anti-Spam Policy for further information.
11.1 You agree to import, access or otherwise use only permission-based lists (note: purchased lists may not be used; please contact Campaign Monitor if you have questions).
11.2 You cannot mail to distribution lists, newsgroups, or spam email addresses.
11.3 You are responsible for monitoring, correcting, processing unsubscribe requests within 5 days, and updating the email addresses to which messages are sent through your Campaign Monitor account.
11.4 Emails that you send through the Services may generate abuse complaints from recipients. You are responsible for ensuring that your email campaigns do not generate a number of abuse complaints in excess of industry norms. Campaign Monitor, in its sole discretion, shall determine whether your level of abuse complaints is within industry norms, and its determination shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes under this Agreement.
11.5 Campaign Monitor, at its own discretion, may immediately disable your access to the Services without refund if Campaign Monitor believes in its sole discretion that you have violated any of the email and permission practices listed above, or our Anti-Spam Policy.
You will not violate or attempt to violate the security of our website or the Services. You will not hack into the Campaign Monitor website(s), Campaign Monitor’s computer systems or the computer systems of other users of the Services. Hacking means unauthorised access, malicious damage and/or interference and includes, without limitation, mail bombing, propagating viruses, worms or other types of malicious programs, deliberate attempts to overload a computer system, broadcast attacks or any other method designed to damage or interfere with the operation of a computer system or website.

Campaign Monitor cannot guarantee that any file or program available for download and/or execution from or via the Services is free from viruses or other conditions which could damage or interfere with data, hardware or software with which it might be used. You assume all risk of use of all programs and files associated with the Services, and you release Campaign Monitor entirely of all responsibility for any consequences of its use.
Campaign Monitor will not be liable by reason of the failure in the performance of obligations under this Agreement by reason of strikes, riots, fire, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, or any other cause which is beyond Campaign Monitor’s reasonable control.

Campaign Monitor employs a range of measures to protect the privacy and confidentiality of personal information in subscriber lists, email content and reports. Campaign Monitor may scan the content of your campaigns to ensure it complies with our Terms of Use — to protect against defamatory, inaccurate, abusive, obscene, profane, or threatening material that is racially or ethnically offensive.
We send all new users a welcoming email to verify their new account and confirm their password and username. Established users will occasionally receive information on products, services, special deals, and a newsletter. Out of respect for the privacy of our users we present the option to not receive these types of communications. Customers can unsubscribe via the unsubscribe mechanism at the bottom of each email.
If a user wishes to subscribe to our newsletter, we ask for contact information such as name and email address. Out of respect for our users privacy we provide a way to opt-out of these communications via the unsubscribe mechanism at the bottom of each email.
On rare occasions it is necessary to send out a strictly service related announcement. For instance, if our service is temporarily suspended for maintenance we might send users an email. Generally, users may not opt-out of these communications, though they can deactivate their account. However, these communications are not promotional in nature.
We communicate with users on a regular basis to provide requested services and in regards to issues relating to their account we reply via email or phone, in accordance with the user’s wishes.
We use your IP address to help diagnose problems with our server, and to administer our website. We do not link your IP address which accesses our website to any personal information. We use tracking information to determine which areas our site users visit based on traffic to those areas. Campaign Monitor does not track what individual users read, but rather how often each page is visited. This helps us maintain a superior and informative website for you.

At Campaign Monitor, we take permission very seriously. By creating an account and agreeing to our Terms of Use, you are also agreeing to this anti-spam policy.
The law isn’t enough, it’s permission that counts
While the CAN-SPAM laws are a step in the right direction for reducing the spam problem, we don’t feel they go far enough. Our definition of spam goes beyond the laws in most countries and encompasses what we believe to be true permission email marketing.
Spam is any email you send to someone who hasn’t given you their direct permission to contact them on the topic of the email.
But that’s not enough. Permission is a fuzzy word open to interpretation. Let’s get into some specific scenarios so it’s clear what does and doesn’t constitute permission.
To send email to anyone using Campaign Monitor, you must have clearly obtained their permission. This could be done through:
Basically, you can only ever email anyone who has clearly given you permission to email them specifically about the subject you’re contacting them about.
Anything outside the examples above doesn’t equal permission in our eyes, but here are some examples to make sure we’re crystal clear. By using Campaign Monitor, you agree not to import or send to any email address which:
Sure, some of these people might have given you their email address, but what’s missing is your permission to email them commercial messages. Blasting promotional emails to any of these people won’t be effective and will more than likely see your email marked as spam by many of your recipients.
Every email you send using Campaign Monitor must include the following:
Campaign Monitor has numerous layers of approval and monitoring to ensure you comply with our anti-spam policy. Here’s a few of them:
If we do discover that you’re emailing people without their permission, we will terminate your account with Campaign Monitor immediately.
In the end, it’s really common sense. Take off your marketing hat and put yourself in your recipient’s shoes. If they don’t recognize who you are or aren’t interested in what you’re sending, they’ll think you’re a spammer. It’s that simple.
