This agreement sets forth the terms and conditions of your use of RWG’s Email Services ("Email Services").

Your acceptance of this Agreement signifies that you have read, understand, acknowledge, and agree to be bound by this Agreement along with RWG’s Domain Registration Agreement (http://www.rwgusa.com/terms_domain.htm) and Privacy Policy (http://www.rwgusa.com/privacy_policy.htm). To the extent that the Hosting Services are combined with other RWG Services, you agree to be additionally bound by those terms and conditions.

The terms "we", "us", or "our" shall refer to RWG. The terms "you", "your", "user", or "customer" shall refer to any individual or entity who accepts this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits.

1. Description of Email Services

RWG’s Email Services provide the ability to send, receive, store, and retrieve electronic mail via the internet using an email address or multiple email addresses linked to your domain name. In order to use the Email Services, you must have a registered domain name with RWG or another domain name registrar and properly configured domain name records.

The Email Services generally allow you to:

a. Configure multiple POP3, IMAP, and/or web-based email accounts for use in connection with a registered domain name;

b. Manage email accounts via the Plesk Control Panel including creation, deletion, and password configuration;

c. Configure email accounts to work with email clients such as Microsoft Outlook to mobile email clients such as iPhone®, iPad®, BlackBerry®, and Android®

The Email Services include both paid and free services. You acknowledge that the free Email Services may have reduced functionality or capability. You may upgrade to the paid Email Services at any time.

2. Provision and Configuration of the Email Services

Once the Email Services are purchased on a RWG website or by telephone ("Site"), an email hosting account will be created by RWG on the Plesk hosting platform. You will receive login credentials unique to Plesk sent to the primary email address set up in your RWG user account. You must ensure the primary email address is correctly functioning and accessible by you. RWG is not responsible and assumes no liability for your failure to receive an email notification if such failure results from inaccurate or out-dated account information.

Once you receive access to your Plesk hosting account, you may setup and configure the Email Services.

3. Availability of the Email Services

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and each of RWG’s policies and procedures, RWG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Email Services on a twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) day per week basis throughout the term of this Agreement. You acknowledge that from time to time, the Email Services may be inaccessible or inoperable for any reason, including, without limitation: (i) equipment malfunction, (ii) periodic maintenance or update procedures, or (iii) causes beyond the reasonable control of RWG including, but not limited to, Denial of Service attacks, or black-listing caused by attempts at sending SPAM.

You acknowledge that each Email Services plan has limits ("Plan Limits") that you agree to adhere to. Failure to adhere to the Plan Limits may result in immediate suspension or termination of the Email Services without further notice.

5. Spam and Virus Protection

RWG’s Email Services include spam and virus protection scanning services for both incoming and outgoing email messages and attachments. All email sent to or from your email addresses will automatically be scanned to assist in preventing spam and/or viruses from being transmitted to or from your email accounts, email clients, and/or computer systems. You are able to disable this protection from within your control panel but it is not recommended and you acknowledge that RWG is not responsible for any adverse effects caused by the disablement of this feature. You acknowledge and agree that our spam and virus protection scanning services are not guaranteed to be 100% effective or error-free.

It may also allow the transmission of spam or viruses to or from your email accounts, email clients, and/or computer systems. You acknowledge and agree that RWG shall assume no liability to you or any third party with respect to our spam and virus scanning services, your failure to send and/or receive email messages and/or attachments, or the transmission of spam and/or viruses to or from your email accounts, email clients, and/or computer systems.

6. Backup, Storage and Data Retention

RWG’s Email Services are not an archive or backup service. You are solely responsible for maintaining independent backups of your email messages at all times. You acknowledge and agree that RWG shall assume no liability to you or any third party for any loss, damage, or destruction of your email messages, distribution lists, or other content stored in connection with the Email Services.

These controls and restrictions are put in place to maintain the integrity and performance of the Email Services.

The following maximum controls and restrictions are in place. Specific settings can be found on the Email Services page at all times on the Site. RWG reserves the right to modify these controls from time to time as it feels is necessary to maintain the integrity and performance of the Email Services.

Incoming Message Limitations

There are (2) types of incoming message limitations:

1. Maximum 20MB message size. Incoming message over 20MB will be bounced.

2. The amount of disk space allocated to each mailbox. If your mailbox fills up, incoming messages will be bounced. It is your responsibility to review and understand your user and account settings for limiting total disk usage and warning message notifications to prevent this from occurring.

Outgoing Message Limitations

In order to prevent SPAM and the abuse of the SMTP outgoing mail service, the following outgoing message limitations are in place:

1. SMTP Relay quotas per-mailbox. 100 recipients per hour; 500 recipients per day

When you exceed this threshold, you will be denied the ability to send email until the following hour OR day, depending on which threshold you have exceeded. You will receive a connection error message when attempting to send that will say "Daily delivery limit exceeded" or "Hourly delivery limit exceeded".

2. SMTP Relay quotas per-domain. 5,000 emails per week.

When you exceed this threshold, all email messages sent from any email account configured with the Email Services will be denied the ability to send email until the following week. If the threshold is exceeded, users attempting to send email will receive a connection error stating "Weekly delivery limit exceeded".

3. SMTP Relays though the use of web forms. 100 recipients per hour; 1,500 per day.

If a domain name using any web-based forms exceeds either of these thresholds, additional messages sent will simply be discarded until the following hour OR day, depending on the threshold exceeded. The Plesk administrator for the Email Services will receive a courtesy email notifying them that the threshold has been exceeded.

8. SPAM Policy

Confirmation should be handled using a single confirmation message sent to the subscriber’s email address. This mailing must contain a URL to the site’s privacy policy, a brief description of the mailing list, and a URL that the user must follow to confirm the subscription.

Mailing list subscriber information must include the date and time that the subscription was confirmed, as well as the IP address of the subscriber at the time of the subscription. You must be able to present this information at RWG’s request.

The nature of email address use must be fully disclosed, either on the page the subscription is made from or with a prominent link to your website’s Privacy Policy. It must be made reasonably clear how a user’s email address will be used and in what circumstances it will be shared.

Lists should not be procured from outside parties unless you have procured a list from an organization that sells or otherwise shares email distribution lists, and all of the following conditions are met:

  • The selling organization maintains a publicly viewable privacy policy disclosing that such sales and usage may occur.
  • The privacy policy is prominently linked to from the page on which the subscriber signed up.
  • The privacy policy has not changed substantially since the user signed up.
  • Records are kept of the date, time, IP address, and form location where the subscribing user signed up.

  • All subscriptions must be re-confirmed in the manner described above before being sent bulk email messages.
