A. SERVICE
Data Protection/Privacy:
swissmail.org does not monitor or review the content of e-mails received or sent unless required to do so by law or unless exceptional circumstances require appropriate measures to protect swissmail.org or its customers. Access to e-mail accounts is password protected. It is the customer's responsibility to prevent the password from being disclosed to unauthorized persons.
Advertising:
In order to offer our customers an efficient and comprehensive e-mail service, swissmail.org is designed as an ad-free service. In accordance with this policy, swissmail.org will not sell your email address to any third party and will not use it for advertising purposes. On the other hand, swissmail.org is permitted to use the addresses for mailings on its own behalf.
Service:
swissmail.org provides its customers with a provider-independent e-mail service on the Internet. We guarantee an availability of 99.9% per year (except for the announced interruptions due to service work).
Service Fee:
The fees for the swissmail.org services are payable in advance. A refund of paid fees is not possible.
Spamming:
swissmail.org supports SPAM-blocking and consequently does not support or enable spamming in any way. As a customer of swissmail.org all participants agree to the usage guidelines which prohibit any spamming activities. Spamming is described as the sending of unsolicited e-mail.
Security limit:
To protect our customers' mailboxes and our systems from being overrun by SPAM attacks and other abuses, a security limit monitors email traffic.
For customers who have a legitimate need for a larger volume per day and have a paid Standard Account or Professional Account, we may increase the daily limit free of charge upon request. Please note that we reserve the right to reverse such an increase at any time and without giving any reason.

The services of swissmail.org are designed for the handling of personal or business e-mail traffic and may only be used in this sense. Automated mass processing that exceeds the security limit is not permitted and requires written permission from swissmail.org. The following points are explicitly excluded:
(a) swissmail.org may not be used for sending mass mailings (spam, bulk mail, etc.).
(b) swissmail.org e-mail addresses may not be used as senders (from and reply-to fields) of illegal bulk mailings.
