This includes, without limitation: (a) a welcome email sent to a guest after the guest provides their contact information; (b) periodic newsletter emails containing information about the geographic area of the Client's property; and (c) emails designed to generate direct bookings with the Client.

  • The Client is responsible for ensuring that it has all rights and consents necessary for the Company to send emails to the Client's guest contacts, including contacts imported by the Client from outside the Service. All marketing emails sent through the Service will include an unsubscribe mechanism, and the Company will honor unsubscribe requests on the Client's behalf in accordance with the CAN-SPAM Act and other applicable law. The Client must not use the Service to send, or cause to be sent, unsolicited commercial email in violation of applicable law.
  • The Company may, at its discretion, suspend or limit email sending for the Client's account where sending creates a deliverability, spam-complaint, or legal risk to the Company or to other users of the Service, including where the Client's imported contact lists fail the Company's email hygiene verification.
  • The Client acknowledges that the Company does not guarantee the delivery, open rates, or business results (including rebookings or revenue) of any emails sent through the Service.

If the Client does not wish to pay the increased fees, it may cancel the Service before the effective date of the increase. If the Client does not cancel the Service in accordance with this clause, it is deemed to have accepted the increase.
