CreateSend will not sell, rent, loan or invite external access to a customer’s contact lists. Nor will CreateSend themselves use customer’s contact lists for any purpose.
As a Data Processor we will on Process Personal data for the purposes of providing these services on your behalf and in accordance with your lawful instruction and as set out in these Terms and Conditions, our Anti Spam Policy and our Privacy Policy.
1. Services and Support
1.1 By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the CreateSend website, or otherwise providing notice to you, CreateSend 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 CreateSend website. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the variation to the Agreement. CreateSend 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 will 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 corporate, small business and community websites to sign up website visitors, collect and retrieve visitor sign-up data, and to develop and execute email communications with visitors and others (including your customers).
1.4 Both the number of email messages sent and the number of KiloBytes of data transferred are metered by CreateSend. Normal CreateSend accounts allow you to send an unlimited number of email messages. The total KiloByte data transfer of each message can be no more than 300kb.
1.5 All email delivery prices are subject to change at any time. All fees paid to CreateSend for the Services are non-refundable, unless an account is terminated by you under clause 1.1 or by CreateSend for a reason other than violation of the Anti-Spam Policy. Payment for Services must be made by a valid credit card accepted by CreateSend, unless other payment arrangements have been made between you and an authorized CreateSend representative. You hereby authorize CreateSend to charge your credit card whenever you use the Services to send a campaign to more than 5 recipients. Fees are payable in Euros. If CreateSend is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, you will be notified via email. All prices are subject to change and you are responsible for reviewing the Pricing Schedule from time to time and for remaining aware of the fees charged by CreateSend for the Services.
1.6 For all accounts, CreateSend may charge an account re-activation fee should an account need to be re-activated by a customer after an account has become de-activated due to non-payment, an untimely authorization for payment, or any other breach of this Agreement.
1.7 You must complete the registration form on this 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 identify an email address/username and password for your CreateSend 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. CreateSend reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel accounts it deems inappropriate.
1.8 It is understood that CreateSend makes no guarantee that HTML messages will be rendered properly on all recipients’ email programs, due to the wide variety of HTML generation tools available. CreateSend 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. For best results CreateSend recommends the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards.
1.9 For a Trial account you agree to let CreateSend email you for the purposes of a follow-up to decide whether you intend to use CreateSend’s services or not. All inactive Trial accounts will be deleted after a period of 60 days.

9.1 All CreateSend customers must follow the rules of CreateSend’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:
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, defamation or data protection). You agree that you will not access or otherwise use third party mailing lists in connection with preparing or distributing unsolicited email to any third party. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless CreateSend against any damages, losses, liabilities, settlements, and expenses (including without limitation costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any claim or action that arises from an alleged violation of the foregoing or otherwise arising from or relating to your use of the Services. You acknowledge that you are responsible for the content of any emails or messages sent using the Services. Although CreateSend has no obligation to monitor the content provided by you or your use of the Services, CreateSend may do so and may remove any such content or prohibit any use of the Services it believes may be (or is alleged to be) in violation of the foregoing.
You represent and warrant to us that:
(i) you have the legal power and authority to enter into this agreement;
(ii) that you will comply fully with the Anti-Spam policy attached hereto and all of your legal obligations to ensure that by processing your data we are not in breach of any legal obligation;
(iii) that you have obtained the consent of persons for whose personal data you provide to us in the course of this agreement for the posting of their personal information by us in the foregoing manner.
9.2.1 All emails must contain an “unsubscribe” link or other mechanism that allows subscribers to 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 CreateSend. You acknowledge and agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove or disable either link. CreateSend 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 an unsubscribe link before continuing.
9.2.2 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.
9.2.3 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.”
9.2.4 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 CreateSend 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, CreateSend 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).

10.5 CreateSend, at its own discretion, may immediately disable your access to the Services without refund if CreateSend believes in its sole discretion that you have violated any of the email and permission practices listed above, or our Anti-Spam Policy.
11. Use of the Services
You will not violate or attempt to violate the security of our website or the Services. You will not hack into the website, CreateSend’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.
12. Website and Services availability
From time to time down-time, either scheduled or unscheduled, may occur. CreateSend will work within reason to ensure this amount of down-time is limited. CreateSend will not be held liable for the consequences of any down-time.
CreateSend 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 CreateSend entirely of all responsibility for any consequences of its use.
13. Force Majeure
CreateSend 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 CreateSend’s reasonable control.
14. Overseas Access
The Services may be accessed throughout Ireland and overseas. CreateSend makes no representations that the Services comply with the laws (including intellectual property laws) of any country outside Ireland. If you access the Services from outside Ireland, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for complying with the laws in the place where you access the site.
15. Personal Data Breach
15.1 We will notify you without undue delay upon us becoming aware of a Personal Data breach affecting the Personal Data you may have provided to us and we will provide you in such case with sufficient information to allow you to meet any obligations to report or inform Data Subjects of the Personal Data breach under GDPR and under the Data Protection Laws.
15.2 With your cooperation we will take such reasonable commercial steps as are necessary to assist in the investigation, mitigation and remediation of each such Personal Data Breach.
15.3 We will implement and maintain appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect the Personal Data you provide to us.
16. Audits
At your written request we will provide you with any of our relevant audit reports raised and/or certifications and/or responses to questionnaires as reasonably required by you to verify our compliance with Article 28 of the GDPR. You acknowledge that such information that we may provide you with constitutes our confidential information.
17. Data Protection Impact Assessment
To the extent required under GDPR we will at your expenses provide reasonably requested information regarding our services to enable you to carry out data impact assessments and prior consultations with Data Protection Authorities as required by law.
18. Sub Processing
You agree that for the purposes of the services we may appoint sub-processors to process Personal Data provided by you. We will provide you by email or by reasonable means a current version of the list of sub-processors. For current list click here which lists our sub processors as set out in agreement with Campaign Monitor.
By using our services you authorise us to continue to use those Sub-processors subject to us ensuring that such Processing is done on the basis of a written agreement which imposes on such Sub-Processor terms equivalent to those which we have accepted under these terms and conditions.
We shall ensure that any sub-processors will be obliged to protect the Personal Data supplied by you to the same standard provided for in this Agreement and to the extent applicable in respect of the nature of the services provided by such sub-processor.
Where our Sub-Processors are located in third counties outside the EEA and where a transfer would otherwise be prohibited by Data Protection Laws, we will ensure that the Standard Contractual Clauses are at all relevant times incorporated into the agreement with the Subprocessor. For the avoidance of doubt, the obligation to use the Standard Contractual Clauses will not apply where the transfer of Personal Data is authorised by Data Protection Laws in the exporting country or scheme (such as the US Privacy Shield) which is approved by the European Commission as ensuring an adequate level of protection or any transfer which falls within a permitted derogation.
We will give you prior written notice of the appointment of any new sub-processor by email including full details of the Processing to be undertaken by the sub-processor. If within ten business days after receipt of such email notice you notify us in writing of any objections (on reasonable grounds) to the proposed appointment, we will work with you in good faith to make available commercial reasonable change in the provision of the services which advise the use of that proposed sub-processor and where such a change cannot be made you may by written notice to us with immediate effect terminate the agreement.
