VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:  You are responsible for your minimum monthly fees each month. By means of this contract, you agree to pay the minimum fee even you have no mailing activity during a particular month. Should the payment be late a 15% monthly late fee or highest State allowed interest will be charged on any past due payment.
CUSTOMIZATION: Customization is done at an additional charge; however, requests must be within reason. Reason is defined as relation to database marketing. Customization is to be done based on the industry standard of hours need to complete a project with an additional seven-business day extension. Any type of customization request can be refused should a project request be against the privacy policy listed on the site, http://www.stedb.com.

Message Volume: Size and Quantity
In STEdb terms, “message volume” is a factor of both the actual number of messages you send and your average message size (in kb) over a one-month period. We use the STEdb Billing Module to calculate your actual usage.
The package prices above include a specified number of messages and assume a monthly average message size of 50kb. Please note: if your total message volume exceeds this amount during a particular month—either due to message quantity or size, or both—your total bill for that month will be higher than the package amount.
If your monthly message volume exceeds the amount Included in your package, you will be charged for the extra mail at the effective "cost per thousand" (CPM) of your package. The rates for 50kb messages are as follows: Starter $8; Publisher $7; Publisher Plus $5; Marketer $2; Marketer Plus $1..
Rates for messages averaging more than 50kb follow a sliding scale based on the effective CPM rates in calculated increments. For example, messages with an average monthly size of 80kb sent with a Marketer package are charged at $8 per thousand; if the monthly size were 85kb, the charge would be $8.50 per thousand.

If your email addresses came from harvesting, a purchased email list, another mailing list (even with the approval of the other list owner), or were compiled by any method other than by direct subscription from your members, for the purposes of this Agreement and these Rules they will be considered unsolicited (non-opt-in) email (that is, “spam”).
