I. General Terms
myContactForm.com provides the service of creating html forms and processing the data sent via the html forms for its users. We strive to create the best possible experience for both our users and the users of our forms. The following general terms must be agreed to prior to using our service. If you have any questions, please contact us.

a. User Types and Definitions
myContactForm.com realizes that users require different services from their form provider. In addition, we realize that users have varying budgets available to spend on their web site. In order to accommodate these different types of users, myContactForm.com offers two types of memberships.

i. Standard Users
This is the default free membership that all users are given when they join myContactForm.com. Standard Users have access to all of the basic features of myContactForm.com

ii. Premium Members
Once a Standard User, users can choose to upgrade their accounts to Premium Membership status. The upgrade allows you to access features available only to Premium Members . The cost of Premium Membership is $29.99/year and is subject to change at the discretion of myContactForm.com.

b. Sensitive Data
Users may not use the forms created with myContactForm.com to send sensitive data. (Sensitive data is defined as any information that could potentially be used in a malicious way, i.e. credit card numbers, social security numbers, bank information, account logins, etc.) The information that is sent through your forms is in no way encrypted or protected. myContactForm.com is not responsible for the security of the data sent using our service or any losses that are incurred if this data is intercepted by a third party or used by a legitimate myContactForm.com user in an inappropriate or illegal manner.

c. Authorized Users
Only the person who signed up for the user account may access and use the account. Accounts may not be shared or distributed to other parties. The forms created by a specific user may only be placed on web sites that they specifically own and operate. If you design web sites for other parties, you may not use the myContactForm.com service on their sites without prior approval in writing from the operators or myContactForm.com. If you are a web designer and are interested in using our service on your client’s web sites, please contact us.

d. Site Outages
As with any web site, we are subject to potential outages of service. While we strive to keep these outages as infrequent as possible users must acknowledge that they may occur and hold us harmless should they occur. If our servers are to experience an outage, users acknowledges that the forms placed on their web sites will no longer function for the duration of the outage. myContactForm.com is not responsible for any losses either directly or indirectly related to any sort of interruption of service.

e. Warranty of Service and Support
The services that myContactForm.com provides is distributed ‘as is’. There are no warranties for our service. In order to keep the cost of our service at a minimum no help, customer service, or technical support will be given.

f. Loss of Data
When creating a form using myContactForm.com, a certain amount of information regarding both the user account and forms created by the user is stored securely in an online database. We are not responsible for any actions or losses stemming from our databases being compromised by an outside party or due to any sort of malfunction in our databases. We routinely perform backups of all our data and in the event of data loss, we will strive to get the data restored as quickly as possible. Users must acknowledge, however, that there is the possibility of data being permanently lost.

g. Link to myContactForm.com
When users create a form using our service, a text based hyperlink to myContactForm.com is automatically added to the form. Users may not remove this link. Any users that we find have done so will immediately have their user account suspended. If you would like to remove this link and not have your account suspended, please read about our Premium Membership Service.

h. Advertisement Window
When someone visits a user's site and submits a form created via myContactForm.com, a small window will open displaying an advertisement. These advertisements are one of the ways in which myContactForm.com recoups its operating costs. These advertisements are carefully chosen and will be ‘pg’ rated, in all cases. We have a Premium Membership option available for those who do not want any advertisements to open. To learn more about Premium Membership, click here.

i. Message Delivery
myContactForm.com strives to deliver to the user any messages that are sent using e-mail forms created using the myContactForm.com service. However, it is entirely possible that messages sent with the forms may not get delivered to the user. Every message that is submitted through the forms is sent to the user's e-mail address using our out going mail server. Once these messages are sent, it is entirely up to the user's incoming mail server (provided by your ISP) to actually get the message to the user. Unfortunately many ISPs have implemented less-than-perfect spam filters that block messages sent with our forms. For the same reason as previously explained, it is possible that messages sent as auto responses to the submitter of the form could get blocked. If you have not been receiving your form submittals please contact your ISP and ask them about any spam filters they have implemented. myContactForm.com is not responsible for any losses stemming from the user's form messages not being delivered to the user.

j. Form Submittal Quotas
In order to prevent the excessive use of bandwidth by a few members, myContactForm.com has implemented a quota system to dictate the number of form submittals that any particular member can submit during the course of one month. Standard Users are allowed 20 submittals per month and Premium Members are allowed 5000 submittals per month. If the user does not use all of hise form submittals during a given month, unused submittals will not be rolled over to the next month. These quotas are subject to change at the discretion of myContactForm.com without notice of change.

k. Number of Forms You Can Create
Users are allowed to create as many forms under their account as they wish. However, in the unlikely event that a user creates an enormous number of forms and it starts to impede too heavily on myContactForm.com’s resources, we reserve the right to delete the user’s account. This judgment will be made at the sole discretion of the operators of myContactForm.com.

l. Number of Questions You Can Create on Your Forms
Users are allowed to create as many questions on their forms as they wish. However, in the unlikely event that a user creates an enormous number of questions on their forms and it starts to impede too heavily on myContactForm.com’s resources, we reserve the right to delete the user’s account. This judgment will be made at the sole discretion of the operators of myContactForm.com. In addition, it is important to realize that placing a large number of questions on forms can cause errors that render the form non-functional. This is due to limitations in Internet technologies; the likeliness of errors is based on the speed of the user's Internet connection and current server loads.

m. Support FAQ
Please take the time to read through our support FAQ. All information found in the FAQ is the official policy of myContactForm.com and users are accountable for all information contained therein.

n. Number of Accounts You Can Have
Users may only have one account on myContactForm.com. If for some reason you need more than one account, please contact us. Only with the written permission of myContactForm.com may you have more than one account.

o. Message Center
When a form submitter fills out a user's form, it is sent to the e-mail address specified by the user and a copy of it is stored in myContactForm.com’s databases so that the user can access the messages online using our Message Center. Messages will only be stored in the Message Center for thirteen (13) months. After thirteen (13) months the messages will be permanently removed form our databases and the user will not be able to access them through the Message Center. Only Premium Members have access to the Message Center. Please click here for more information about the benefits of Premium Membership.

p. Copyrighted Material
Forms may not be used to send copyrighted material that either the owner of the form, or the submitter of the form do not own.

q. Removal of Inactive Accounts
myContactForm.com reserves the right to delete and permanently remove any user’s account (including all data associated with that account) for users who have not logged into their account or had a form submittal within the past six (6) months. All user's will be notified via e-mail (to the address we have on file for their account) one (1) month prior to their account being removed. At this time they will have the opportunity to prevent their account from being deleted.

II. Consequences of Violation
Any user that violates any term set forth in this document will be subject to having their user accounts suspended or terminated immediately without notice or warning.
