By way of example only, and not as a limitation, "Incontrol Marketing" and the Incontrol Marketing logo are registered trademarks of Incontrol Marketing Ltd. under the applicable laws of England and/or other countries. Other Incontrol Marketing product or service names or logos appearing in this Site are either trademarks or registered trademarks of Incontrol Marketing Ltd. and/or its affiliates. The absence of a product or service name or logo from this list does not constitute a waiver of Incontrol Marketing�s trademark or other intellectual property rights concerning that name or logo.

2. Representations and Acknowledgements

Subject in each case to the terms listed in the remainder of this Agreement (as defined in Section 3 below), you hereby represent, acknowledge and agree that:

The Products may not be used for the sending of unsolicited email (sometimes called "spam").

The Email Marketing Product will be subject to monthly subscription fees once you have completed any free trial period or have exceeded the free subscriber limit. The Email Marketing Product may also be subject to per message and coverage charges.

You agree to import, access or otherwise use only lists for which all listed parties have consented to receive correspondence from you ("Permission Based Lists") in connection with your use of the Products. Mere agreement of a person or entity to participate in a survey is not consent to receive correspondence from you. Consent to receive correspondence is evidenced by the respondent �opting in�, hence you hereby covenant that you shall not use any other lists in connection with your use of the Products.
You acknowledge and agree that not all email messages sent through use of the Products will be received by their intended recipients.
Every email message sent by you in connection with the Products must contain the "unsubscribe" link that allows the recipient to remove themselves from your mailing list.

You acknowledge and agree that you are the sole or designated "sender" (as such term is defined in the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003 and any rules adopted under such act) of any email message sent by you using the Products.
You agree that the "from" line of any email message sent by you using the Products will accurately and in a non-deceptive manner identify your organisation, your product or your service.
You agree that the "subject" line of any email message sent by you using the Products will not contain any deceptive or misleading content regarding the overall subject matter of the email message.
You agree to include in any email message sent by you using the Products your valid physical address, which may be a valid post office box meeting the registration requirements established by the UK Postal Service.
You agree that in any email message sent by you using the Products you will not include any incentives (e.g., coupons, discounts, awards) that encourage a recipient to forward the email message to another recipient.
You will adopt and maintain the Privacy Policy, which may be modified by Incontrol Marketing from time to time.
If you are accessing or using the Products through a third party service or web site ("Third Party Service"), you will abide by these Terms and Conditions of Use regardless of anything to the contrary in your agreement with such third party. You shall not use such Third Party Service to avoid the restrictions set forth in these Terms and Conditions of Use.

3. Products and Support

The Products are provided subject to these Terms and Conditions of Use, as they may be amended by Incontrol Marketing, and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that may establish and post from time to time (collectively, the "Agreement"), including without limitation Incontrol Marketing's customer Privacy Policy, as linked from all email generated from Incontrol Marketing or otherwise furnished to you (the "Policy") (unless otherwise stated, all references to the Agreement shall include the Policy). By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the Incontrolmarketing.co.uk website, or otherwise providing notice to you, Incontrol Marketing may modify the terms of the Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Products in its sole discretion. Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement, all such changes shall become effective upon the posting of the revised Agreement on the Product or at Incontrol Marketing's website. The Products are available only to persons who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. If you are using the Products in your capacity as an employee, you must have the ability to bind your employer by your use of the Product.

If you are accessing or using the Products through a Third Party Service, you agree and acknowledge you use such Third Party Service at your own risk. You further agree and acknowledge that Incontrol Marketing may terminate such Third Party Service�s ability to interact with the Products at any time, with or without notice, and in Incontrol Marketing�s sole discretion, with no liability to you or the third party.
