You must not violate any legal regulations or interfere with the rights of Email Machine or third parties.

If you violate the rules regarding Content, we have the right to withdraw from the contractual relationship we have entered into under the Terms and Conditions at the moment of violation. You will no longer be able to use our Service and we will block your User Account. At the same time, we will demand compensation for the damage incurred, including non-pecuniary damage.

    USER REGISTRATION
  4. WHAT ABOUT OTHER USERS?

    2. What are the responsibilities of these additional persons? The same as those of the registering User. They express their agreement with the terms and conditions by clicking on the invitation in the email sent by the registering User.
    3. Can these sub-accounts have different permissions? Yes, you set their access scope in the invitation. You can then adjust it while using the Service. You can adjust the scope of permissions they have with the Tool and how they can use the Service. Within the User Account, this may include:

      2. Workers have limited options; they can work with campaigns but do not have access to all functions.
      3. The operator only has basic access to the user account, specifically to the GDPR interface, i.e. to basic data about email contacts and the option to delete or edit them.
    4. What about liability for damage caused by other users? We are not liable for any damage incurred by you as a result of or in connection with setting the access level of another user. Furthermore, we are not liable for any damage caused to you by users you have invited.
    5. Are there different levels of user accounts? In addition to different levels of users, we also have different levels of user accounts. We distinguish between parent and child user accounts.
    6. What is the difference between a parent and child User Account? If you use a parent User Account, you will be able to see all data within your child User Accounts. This option is particularly suitable for agencies, as it allows them to manage multiple User Accounts for their clients.
    7. How do you register a parent or child User Account? If you wish to register a parent User Account, you must first contact us and we can create it for you after mutual agreement. The same applies to child User Accounts; these are also only available upon request and after agreement with us.

  5. WHAT ARE THE FORMS OF REMUNERATION FOR THE SERVICE?
    1. How can you pay for the Service? When using Email Machine Services, you can pay for the Service in three ways:
      1. Credits. When purchasing Credits, you will pay the Fee specified in the Price List. The method of payment will be specified below.
      2. Tariff. When using tariff payment, the User shall pay the Remuneration for each Billing Period according to the type of Tariff used, which is specified in the Price List.
      3. Cost Per Thousand (CPT). With some Users, we may agree on a payment method per thousand emails sent (CPT). The User is not entitled to this payment option; it can only be agreed upon based on a contract offered by Email Machine.
    2. Can I choose how I pay the Remuneration? Yes, you can choose between payment by Credits and Tariff. You cannot choose the payment method for CPT unless we contact you. You can change the Remuneration payment options, but when paying by Tariff, the change will always take effect after the end of the Billing Period, and the amount and our claim to Remuneration will remain unaffected.
    3. Can I try the Services for free? Yes, you can. To try our Services for free, you must fill in the necessary information on this website. The free service can only be tried using the free Credits you receive; we do not offer a free tariff.

HOW DOES CREDIT PAYMENT WORK?

  1. How much do Credits cost? Credits are used to access the Services. Their price corresponds to the current Price List, where you can choose from several options for the amount of Credits exchangeable for money. One Credit corresponds to one email sent as part of a mailing. Credits can be purchased directly within the Tool and will be credited to the User Account upon receipt of full payment. Payment can be made by credit card or by bank transfer to our bank account based on an invoice issued by us.
  2. How can I use Credits? Credits can only be used to send emails within your Database; they cannot be used for certain partial Services. Email Credits are deducted from your User Account when an email is sent. You can find an overview of your current number of Credits and their usage in your User Account.
  3. How long are Credits valid? Credits are valid for 24 months from the date of purchase. Purchased Credits cannot be exchanged for cash.
  4. What if I want to use a Tariff or CPT instead of Credits? In this case, we will credit any unused Credits towards the specified Remuneration for the selected Tariff or under the CPT agreement. You agree to this crediting, and even in this case, there is no entitlement to exchange Credits back for money.
  5. What about credits in the parent account? With a parent user account, you cannot use credits from subordinate user accounts. All credits must be used from this parent user account.

HOW DOES PAYMENT BY TARIFF WORK?

  1. What tariffs do we offer? We offer the following tariffs, which are based on the number of emails in the database, ranging from 500 contacts to an unlimited number. We are entitled to remuneration for these tariffs.
  2. How much does it cost and what does the Tariff offer you? All information about the features and prices of the Tariffs can be found in the Price List and your User Account. The fee is paid as a lump sum for the Billing Period. The fee can be paid on the basis of an invoice issued by us with the specified due date to our bank account or by credit card online.
  3. What if I exceed the number of emails in the Database for a given Tariff? In the event that the number of contacts in the User Database exceeds the maximum number of emails in the User Database, you will automatically be placed in a higher Tariff, which is listed in the Price List. We are entitled to charge a Fee corresponding to the new number of contacts in the User Database in the month following the month in which the change occurs.
  4. How will the Remuneration be paid if the Tariff is exceeded? If the Billing Period is one month, the Remuneration for a different Tariff will be changed from the next Billing Period when the Tariff change occurred. If the Billing Period is one year, a supplementary invoice will be issued, which will calculate the increased Remuneration from the month following the Tariff change until the end of the Billing Period. Such a supplementary invoice may be issued repeatedly. If, during a given annual Billing Period, the Tariff is reduced to one with a lower Fee, the User is not entitled to a refund of part of the Fee, unless Email Machine itself proposes and approves this.
    1. How does the User pay the Fee? The amount of the Fee and the method of payment depend on the selected method of using our Service (Credits, Tariff, CPT). It can therefore be paid as a lump sum or a one-off payment according to the Price List. Prices are always quoted excluding VAT, unless otherwise stated. The amount of VAT charged may vary depending on changes in legislation.
    2. Can we change the Price List? Yes, we can unilaterally change the Price List. Any change to the Price List will always be announced on the website and directly to the Users concerned by email or in their User Account at least 15 days before the change is made. If you do not agree with the change to the Price List, you have the right to withdraw from the contract concluded under these Terms and Conditions.
    3. How can I pay the Remuneration? You can pay the Remuneration by credit card or bank transfer to our bank account based on the issued invoice. The options are also specified for individual programmes using the Service. For the correct payment of the Remuneration, you are obliged to always provide accurate, valid and complete information for billing and payment and to update it regularly.
    4. What if there is a delay in payment? Without proper payments, we cannot operate. Therefore, if there is a delay in payment of the Remuneration of more than 5 days after its due date, even if it is only part of the Remuneration, we may restrict the provision of the Service to you in accordance with these Terms and Conditions. Once the entire Remuneration has been paid, we will be happy to restore the scope of the Services.
    5. Where can I find an overview of payments and tax documents? In your User Account. A tax document in PDF format is generated automatically after the entire amount of the Remuneration has been paid.
