TERMS OF SERVICE
Requirements for owning a Parish Mail account:
We take strong measures to protect our server from ever being used by spammers and other unethical users, and from getting black-listed by Internet Service Providers. This protects you as much as it protects us. Therefore, to receive an account from us, we ask our clients to agree to the following:
- The pastor must send us a letter by postal mail, fax, or as a PDF file attached to an email, on parish letterhead, proving to us that you are indeed going to use this for a church.
- If you use e-lists, you must use the opt-in features of all e-lists or in some other way gain subscription authorization by all recipients. In other words, you may not use your e-lists to send emails to anyone who has not first agreed to receive your mail. Otherwise, you will be acting as a spammer and we reserve the right to cancel your account without refunding any money for unused months.
- If you use our mailboxes, no one will use them to send spam. They will also not use them to send bulk mailings without first getting approval from the recipients; otherwise, you will be acting as a spammer and we reserve the right to cancel your account without refunding any money for unused months.

to improve and simplify
church communications!
Do you answer YES
to any of these questions?
- Someone on your church staff is still using a personal email address for church business, because they write the emails at home or because your parish doesn't have enough of its own email accounts.
- Your parish doesn't have a website and therefore your parish email address doesn't include the name of your parish.
- Your parish does have a website but it doesn't come with email addresses for all your staff.
- Your parish has a website and it does come with email addresses for all your staff, but it's too difficult to use, so it gets ignored.
- Your parish staff is not yet using an efficient, easy-to-use list service to send bulk-mail news by email to parishioners:
- When they do send emails, they put all recipients in the "TO" field or "CC" field (which exposes all recipients to other recipients' viruses that steal addresses for spammers).
- When parishioners receive emails, it's not easy for them to get off the list if they want the mail to stop.
- When parishioners want to receive news by email, it's not easy for them to get onto the list.
- When parishioner email addresses change, it's not easy to update the address books of all staff members.
- When a staff member leaves employment, they still have access to the email addresses of many parishioners, even though they shouldn't.
- The pastor doesn't have an easy way to communicate mid-week with his parishioners, the staff doesn't have an easy way to communicate with only those who are in their charge, and ministry leaders don't have an easy way to communicate quickly with everyone in their ministries.
- The emails that are sent out from staff and ministry leaders have no quality control, and they usually don't include the church logo or links back to the church website.
