Sending Practices
You agree to follow email sending best practices, including warming up new IP addresses and sending domains gradually, maintaining clean and up-to-date subscriber lists, promptly processing bounces and removing invalid addresses, monitoring and maintaining acceptable complaint rates (below 0.1%), segmenting lists and sending relevant content to engaged subscribers, and authenticating all sending domains with SPF, DKIM, and DMARC records.
We reserve the right to throttle or temporarily suspend sending if we detect practices that may negatively impact deliverability or our shared infrastructure.
IP & Reputation Management
Cascade Mail manages shared and dedicated IP addresses for email delivery. Your sending reputation directly impacts deliverability. We monitor sending patterns and engagement metrics across all accounts. If your sending practices result in elevated bounce rates, spam complaints, or blocklist listings, we may throttle your sending, move you to a restricted IP pool, require corrective action before resuming full sending, or suspend your account.
Dedicated IP customers are solely responsible for the reputation of their assigned IP addresses.
Data Ownership
You retain all ownership rights to your data, including subscriber lists, email content, and campaign data. We claim no ownership over your content. We process your data solely to provide the Service as described in our Privacy Policy.
You may export your data at any time through the Service interface or API. Upon account termination, your data will be available for export for 30 days, after which it will be permanently deleted.
Payment & Billing
Fees for the Service are based on the pricing plan selected at registration or as subsequently modified by mutual agreement. All fees are quoted in U.S. dollars unless otherwise specified. Payment is due in advance on a monthly or annual basis depending on your plan. Overages beyond plan limits will be billed at the per-unit rate specified in your plan.
We reserve the right to modify pricing with 30 days' written notice. Failure to pay within 15 days of the due date may result in service suspension. All fees are non-refundable except as required by law.
