by RealtyEGenius, and any guidelines, rules or operating policies that RealtyEGenius
may establish and post from time to time (the "Agreement"), including without
limitation RealtyEGenius's Privacy Policy. By posting updated versions of the

a monthly subscription for Paid Services. Access to the Services will be disabled
until payment is received.
3.2 Fees will be billed monthly or your pre-paid account will be debited monthly
for Services. The Fees are based on the highest number of subscribers in your

subject to change at any time in RealtyEGenius's discretion. RealtyEGenius will

If RealtyEGenius is for any reason unable to effect automatic payment via your credit card, RealtyEGenius will attempt to notify you via email and your RealtyEGenius account will be disabled until payment is received. Amounts paid for the Services are not refundable.

4. Email, Image Hosting & Permission Practices
4.1 Every email message sent in connection with the Services must contain an
"unsubscribe" link that allows subscribers to remove themselves from your mailing
list and a link to the then current Privacy Policy. Each such link must remain
operational for a period of thirty (30) days after the date on which you send
the message, and must be in form and substance satisfactory to RealtyEGenius.
You acknowledge and agree that you will not remove, disable or attempt to remove
or disable either link.

from recipients. As a matter of privacy, RealtyEGenius cannot share with you
the email addresses of those who complain about your email campaign. You are
responsible for ensuring that your email campaigns do not generate a number

discretion, shall determine whether your level of abuse complaints is within

for all purposes under this Agreement.
