As a matter of privacy, ChurchText Pro does not have to share with you the e-mail addresses, instant message handles, phone numbers, pager numbers or fax numbers of those who complain about your campaigns.

2.7. Addressing Spam Complaints

You are responsible for ensuring that your campaigns do not generate a number of abuse complaints in excess of industry standards. An excessive number of such complaints may result in the termination of your account. ChurchText Pro, in conjunction with you, shall mutually determine whether your level of abuse complaints is within industry norms. In the event that your use of ChurchText Pro’s Services results in you being listed on SpamCop or any other anti-spam organization, ChurchText Pro reserves the right to require that you utilize a “double opt in” feature which will require newly added users to verify their assent to receiving your communications after they have been added to your database(s).

ISP FBL Complaints. ChurchText Pro is enrolled in feedback loops (“FBL”) which are offered by internet service providers to send back complaints when an end user designates the message as “spam.” The internet service provider tabulates the amount of complaints per campaign and assesses penalties when a campaign exceeds a particular threshold amount which is a percentage of the campaign’s volume. If your campaign exceeds FBL complaint thresholds, you shall be responsible for the following charges:

These charges shall be payable by you within 30 days of receipt of invoice from ChurchText Pro.

Abuse E-Mail Complaints. Abuse complaints are also transmitted via e-mail to abuse@ChurchTextPro.com or via the ChurchText Pro corporate web site when a message recipient follows the “Complain” link located at the footer of each client e-mail message (http://www.ChurchTextPro.com/abuse.) For each such complaint, you shall be responsible for the following charges: $10 per each complaint; or $100 per complaint if you cannot show proof of an opt-in for the complainant (also calls for immediate hold and consultation with possible termination). These charges shall be payable by you within 30 days of receipt of invoice from ChurchText Pro.

Spamcop. SpamCop (located at www.spamcop.org) is one of the largest Blacklists on the Internet. An excessive number of complaints to SpamCop may result in a blockage of a mailing IP address and a disruption of ChurchText Pro’s Services to other customers. For any complaint submitted to SpamCop, ChurchText Pro, ChurchText Pro’s hosting company or received from SpamCop relating to any messages transmitted by you shall be responsible for the following charges:

These charges shall be payable by you within 30 days of receipt of invoice from ChurchText Pro.

2.8 Enforcement.

You acknowledge that upon your breach of Sections 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, or 2.6 ChurchText Pro shall be entitled to equitable relief to protect its interests, including preliminary and permanent injunctive relief and you further agree to waive any right or claim to which you may be entitled to immunity or exemption from liability. ChurchText Pro may also seek damages as a result of such breach.

2.9 Term and Termination.

The length of your agreement with ChurchText Pro will be set by separate written agreement. You understand that this Agreement is effective from the date you create an account with ChurchText Pro and shall continue until the contract is complete or the account is terminated either by you or by ChurchText Pro. ChurchText Pro MAY CONTAIN A DISABLING DEVICE THAT WILL PREVENT IT FROM BEING USED UPON TERMINATION OF THIS LICENSE. YOU WILL NOT TAMPER WITH THIS DISABLING DEVICE OR THE PROGRAM. YOU SHOULD TAKE PRECAUTIONS TO AVOID ANY LOSS OF DATA THAT MIGHT RESULT WHEN THE PROGRAM CAN NO LONGER BE USED. ChurchText Pro may terminate this Agreement immediately if: i) you fail to comply with the terms of this Agreement; ii) your account is dormant for a period of 60 consecutive days; iii) the ChurchText Pro Service is discontinued; or iv) you have an overdue balance for any Services or products purchased on or through www.ChurchTextPro.com.

Cancellation must be completed prior to the next billing period which occurs on the first (1st) of the month. If account is not cancelled by the first (1st), all Service fees will continue to be charged. You will not be entitled to any refund of fees paid. In the event that you are on a contract and terminate said contract before it has completed, you agree to pay an early termination fee equal to the higher of a) the amount remaining on the contract, or b) the difference between the highest equivalent non-contract monthly rate charged and the amount you actually paid for each month of Service under the agreement. ChurchText Pro may terminate this Agreement or the Services, disable your account or put your account on inactive status, in each case at any time with or without cause, and with or without notice. ChurchText Pro shall have no liability to you or any third party because of such termination or action. Should ChurchText Pro take any such action, it will delete any of your archived data within 30 days after the date of termination. After termination, ChurchText Pro will provide upon request the list of unsubscribe requests from within 30 days of your last email campaign, but will not process said requests. If your account is classified (at ChurchText Pro’s sole discretion) as inactive for over 60 days, ChurchText Pro has the right to permanently remove your subscriber data. ChurchText Pro will attempt to contact you via email prior to taking any permanent removal actions.
