Billing: Email accounts are billed on a per-account, per-month basis. It is the responsibility of the account holder to monitor their subscription(s) and billing cycles.

Pro-Rated Refunds: My Craft market provides pro-rated refunds for any webmail account deleted during an active subscription period. Refunds are calculated based on the remaining days of the billing cycle.

Account Deletion and Backup: Once an email account is deleted, there is no option to restore or retrieve any emails from that account. Users are responsible for their data backup.

Right to Suspend: My Craft Market reserves the right to suspend or terminate Webmail accounts found in violation of the Terms of Service.

Mass Emailing Policy:

Our service, powered by Tucows (OpenSRS), is not designed for outbound mass mailing. To ensure service quality and maintain high deliverability, the following criteria are in place:

Daily Sending Limits: Limits are placed on the number of recipients per email and the total number of emails sent within a 24-hour period. These limits are subject to change without notice.

Limiting Emails to Direct Contacts: To ensure uninterrupted service, limit emails to individuals you have direct contact with. Mass mailing or large group emails are discouraged.

Enforcement: Misuse for mass mailing may result in suspension or termination of the Webmail Service. Repeated violations could lead to further consequences.

Alternatives for Mass Mailing: For needs involving large numbers of recipients, consider using specialized services like MailChimp or Campaign Monitor.
