Terms & Conditions
Terms of Use
1.1 By posting updated versions of the Agreement on the QT Comments website, or otherwise providing notice to you, QT Comments may modify the terms of this Agreement and may discontinue or revise any or all other aspects of the Services at its sole discretion. All such changes shall become effective upon posting of the revised Agreement on the QT Comments website. Your continued use of the Services will constitute your acceptance of the variation to the Agreement. QT Comments will use reasonable efforts to make you aware of any changes to the terms of this Agreement.
1.2 The Services are available only to persons who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, the Services are not available to individuals under the age of 18. If you do not qualify, your use of the Services is expressly prohibited.
1.3 The Services enable corporate, small business and community websites to sign up website visitors, collect and retrieve visitor sign-up data, and to develop and execute email communications with visitors and others (including your customers).
1.4 For all accounts, QT Comments may charge an account re-activation fee should an account need to be re-activated by a customer after an account has become de-activated due to non-payment, an untimely authorization for payment, or any other breach of this Agreement.
1.5 You must complete the registration form on the signup page in order to use the Services. You will provide true, accurate, current, and complete information about yourself as requested in the registration form. As part of the registration process, you will identify an email address, username and password for your QT Comments account. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, username, passwords, and files and for all uses of your account and of the Services in your name. QT Comments reserves the right to refuse registration of, or cancel accounts it deems inappropriate.
1.6 It is understood that QT Comments makes no guarantee that HTML messages will be rendered properly on all recipients’ email programs, due to the wide variety of HTML generation tools available. QT Comments makes every reasonable attempt to make sure that all email messages sent through our servers follow email standards, but we cannot guarantee that messages will look consistent across all email platforms due to the number of different HTML composition tools available. For example, if you use Microsoft Word to generate HTML email messages, it is expected that recipients of your message using a non-Microsoft email application may have difficulty reading your message. For best results QT Comments recommends the use of HTML editors that generate HTML that adheres to W3C standards.
