b. Manage email accounts via a 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.

Once the Email Services are purchased on our website or by telephone ("Site"), an email hosting account will be created by us and you will be given access to the platform.

Once you receive access, you may setup and configure the Email Services.

Our 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 we are 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.

Additionally, you acknowledge that each Email Services plan has pre-defined controls and restrictions that control the maximum amount of email messages you can send and receive and how that mail is sent.

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. We reserve 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.

You must comply with the EU Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive and all relevant regulations and legislation on bulk and commercial email.  Please consult with appropriate legal counsel if you have any questions on your compliance.
