5. Safeguarding Your and Delegates Information

To protect your and delegates information, Rushmore offer you (on request) the latest 128-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology for secure any communication between your or Delegates browser and Rushmore servers.
Rushmore accounts require a username and password to log in. When you're finished using Rushmore, please click the "log out" link, to prevent someone from using your computer to access your account. You must keep your username and password secure and not disclose it to a third party.
Account passwords are encrypted. We cannot see your passwords. We can only reset them.

6. Notice of Breach of Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password and account. You are also solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. You may change your password, or any other account information, at any time by following instructions available on your account settings page. You agree to notify Rushmore immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security known to you. You must promptly inform Rushmore of actual or apparent breaches of security, such as loss, theft, or authorized disclosure or use of a User Account or password. Until Rushmore is notified by email of a breach in security, you will remain liable for any unauthorized use of the Rushmore Service through your account. In consideration for using the Rushmore Service, you agree to: (1) provide certain current, complete, and accurate information about you when prompted to do so by the Service, and (2) maintain and update this information as required to keep it current, complete and accurate. If any information provided by you during your original registration is inaccurate, Rushmore reserves the right to terminate your account immediately and your right to use the Rushmore Service.

7. CONTENT ON WEBSITE

You are solely responsible for any data, text, software, music sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, files or other materials ("Content") which is transmitted, posted, or distributed by you through the Service, including but not limited to the contents of your e-mail communications, information, photos or images posted by you on your event pages. All Content posted by you, is your sole responsibility. Rushmore does not control the Content posted by users such as yourself via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. By using the Rushmore Service you understand and agree that you may be exposed to Content posted by other users that may be offensive, indecent or objectionable. Under no circumstances will Rushmore be liable in any way for any Content posted by any user or third party, including, but not limited to, liability for any errors or omissions in any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, e-mailed or otherwise transmitted via the Service.

8. CONTENT OF EMAIL CAMPAIGNS

When you send email marketing, it bounces around from server to server as it crosses the Internet. Along the way, server administrators can read what you send. Email was never built for confidential information. Never send anything in an email that you wouldn't put on a postcard. If you have something confidential to send, do not use Rushmore Service.

We sometimes review the content of the Email Campaigns of our Clients to verify compliance with our Terms of Use. In this regard, we have software with algorithms to help us find email campaigns that may be in violation of our Terms of Use. We then have employees or independent contractors review those particular Email Campaigns. This practice benefits all Clients who are in compliance with our Terms of Use because, among other things, it reduces SPAM being sent through our servers which helps to ensure high deliverability.

9. ABUSE OF THE SERVICE

Use that constitutes abuse shall be determined by Rushmore in its sole discretion. Rushmore reserves the right to terminate your account if Rushmore determines you have not complied with this ETS.

Here are the measures we take to prevent or combat abuse of Rushmore

1. Most importantly, a person at Rushmore must approve all new accounts before they're allowed to use Rushmore Service and send campaigns. Our staff uses different criteria to evaluate email campaigns templates to prevent using Rushmore services for spam distribution. 2. We require all Clients to agree to our Terms of Use before they start using Rushmore Service, and again before they can import any existing customer lists into their accounts. 3. For customers who are "starting from scratch" with Rushmore (and have no lists of customers to import), we leave to their responsibility to distribute the link to the registration form 4. For each and every list customers setup in Rushmore, they must submit their physical mailing address, plus a Permission Reminder ("you are receiving this email because you subscribed at..."). That information is inserted into their campaigns for them. 5. We automatically insert a one-click unsubscribe link in every campaign sent from our system. 6. All lists managed on Rushmore are manualy cleaned of soft bounces (on the 5th campaign attempt) and hard/undeliverable bounces are cleaned in the same day.

Dealing With Issues:

1. We embed every single email campaign sent from our servers with a Campaign ID so that recipients can easily report abuse to Rushmore. When we receive complaints via our support email, they are immediately investigated. If the campaign or user account appears suspicious in any way, the account is suspended during the investigation.
2. We check major anti-spam authorities to receive feedback alerts when any of our users' recipients report abuse. When we're able to parse those alerts, we remove the recipient from our user's list. If the reports exceed a certain threshold, we send a warning to our client. If the warnings exceed a reasonable threshold, we suspend the client's account and investigate. Most ESPs and ISPs will tell you a reasonable threshold for abuse complaints is 0.1% (1 out of a thousand people reported your campaign as junk). Because of the sheer volume of emails sent from our IPs, and because most of our IPs are shared across multiple clients, our threshold is actually much more strict.
