In addition, you may send emails through Zoho Marketing Automation only to the contacts that you have obtained by acceptable means as listed below (“Acceptable Means”).

  1. If the contact had submitted his/her email address as part of a download from your website or for the purpose of ordering/negotiating the purchase of a product or service from you.
  2. If the contact had subscribed to an email newsletter by filling a form on your website.
  3. If the contact has provided email address as part of participation in any contest, event or survey conducted by you, provided that you have informed the contact that you would be sending marketing emails.
  4. If the contact has, while completing an online form, checked an opt-in check box indicating his/her willingness to be contacted by you through email, provided that the check box is unchecked by default and you have informed such contact that the nature of the emails will be commercial.
  5. If the contact has given his/her business card and has expressed willingness to receive emails of a commercial nature. Willingness to receive emails of a commercial nature will be presumed where the business card was dropped in your booth at a trade show.
  6. If the contact was referred by your existing customers or subscribers to your newsletters or marketing emails.

You shall not send emails to any contact if:

  1. You have bought, loaned, rented or acquired the contacts through any other means from a third party.

  2. If the recipient had not opted-in electronically, written confirmation must have been obtained from the recipient.
  3. The recipient must have been of legal age to grant consent to receive commercial emails.
  4. The option to revoke consent at any time with future effect must have been clearly and explicitly indicated at the time of obtaining consent.

In the event that your email campaign exceeds the threshold(s) mentioned above, Zoho reserves the right to terminate your user account without any prior notification.
