Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: January 14, 2025
Deliverability is a team sport. Email Service Providers like Omailer are only as good as our senders. In order to provide all our senders with the best deliverability and inbox placement, we enforce rules and guidelines to limit usage that would jeopardize the deliverability of all of our senders or simply break the law.
With that in mind, there are some types of sending that are simply not allowed and will not be tolerated. The following policy clearly states which uses of Omailer are not acceptable.
We reserve the right to terminate your account at any time for violation of the provisions of this policy. Depending on the severity and your cooperation, we will try to work with you before any disruption.
Refunds will not be issued for breaches to our Acceptable Use Policy. Additionally, once emails have been sent, refunds will not be issued for partial quota usage.
Appropriate Sending Statistics
In addition to the content guidelines below, all email sending must meet these sending statistics:
- Your complaint rate must be lower than 0.08%
- Your bounce rate must be lower than 4%
If complaint or bounce rates go above these thresholds, your account may be shut down without warning.
