What is the FreshMail App, and how do I use it?
3. FreshMail provides email marketing services through the FreshMail Portal. These services are provided by supplying you with the tools and functionalities of the FreshMail App and providing you with support at the level of your choice.
4. You can use other functionalities available in the FreshMail App, such as:
(i) text message marketing (if you have purchased this service before 1 March 2024);
(ii) transactional emails (if you have purchased this service before 1 March 2024);
(iii) Landing Pages.
5. By accepting these Terms of Use and making the payment, you have entered into a Contract with FreshMail. Under the Contract, FreshMail provides you with a paid and non-exclusive license to use the FreshMail App with a single individual login (an email address) at one time and at one workstation. You can create access credentials on your Account for other users. Note, however, that you are solely liable for how your FreshMail Account is used, especially for any act in violation of the Contract, the Terms of Use, or the Anti-Spam Policy. You can use the FreshMail App and Documentation you download from the FreshMail Portal for your purposes only and as regulated by the Contract.
6. Under the Contract concluded, you are entitled to a license for the FreshMail App in the fields of exploitation specified in Articles 74 and 75 of the Copyright Act; however, you shall not:
(i) permanently or temporarily duplicate the FreshMail App in whole or part with any means or in any form;
(ii) translate, adapt, modify the layout, or otherwise change the FreshMail App;
(iii) make backup copies of the FreshMail App;
(iv) duplicate the source code or translate its form as construed under Article 74(4)(1 and 2) of the Copyright Act.
The license granted to you enables the unobstructed sending of Campaigns and the use of other functionalities available in the FreshMail App.
7. The license granted to you and its related rights to use the FreshMail Portal, Documentation, and App will expire when the Contract is terminated, expires, or is withdrawn from.
Technical requirements for using the FreshMail App.
8. To use the FreshMail App, you must have an email account.
9. To use the FreshMail Portal and App, you need a terminal with Internet connectivity. The terminal must have a software application installed for browsing Internet resources (web browser). The web browser must accept cookie files and have JavaScript support enabled.
10. If you already have a FreshMail App account, it is important that access to the Account is adequately password protected. Your password should be very secure and include at least 8 characters: different letters and digits or special characters. We also recommend that you enable the two-factor authentication option (2FA), which provides your Account with additional protection. You can find out how to activate this function here. The FreshMail App will verify your password and tell you if it meets the relevant criteria.
11. Remember that the FreshMail App is operated via the Internet. That is why all information and documents related to the FreshMail Portal and the use of the FreshMail App will be sent to you over the Internet only. If you wish to stay up to date with all the innovations in email marketing, such as new functionalities added to the FreshMail App or the latest marketing trends, do not forget to give your consent to the processing of your personal data for marketing purposes by FreshMail, which includes direct marketing, especially for the transmission of FreshMail’s commercial information to you.
12. Remember that the email address you have signed up with is your login to the FreshMail App, and you need it to sign in for the first time. You can always request a change of your login by contacting FreshMail Customer Support.
13. The FreshMail App will only work correctly on supported browsers. The currently supported browsers are listed on our website. The FreshMail App may work incorrectly or not at all if other browsers are used.
What can I upload to the FreshMail App?
14. By now, you should have a very good understanding of Article 10 of the E-Services Act and Articles 4(7) and 6(1) of GDPR. To manage your email and text message marketing, you can upload to the FreshMail App only email addresses and phone numbers owned by Subscribers who have been verified as having granted you their consent to receive commercial information by electronic channels of communication. To use other functionalities of the FreshMail App (e.g. transactional emails), you need to secure a correct legal basis for the processing of Personal Data. To do this, you must become a Personal Data Controller as construed under GDPR (or act as a Personal Data Processor for and on behalf of the Personal Data Controller). This, in turn, requires you to conclude a personal data processing outsourcing agreement with FreshMail. You can find more details about what you can upload to the FreshMail App in the Anti-Spam Policy.
15. If you do not know Article 10 of the E-Services Act, read it here.
16. If you do not know Article 4(7) or 6(1) of the GDPR, you can read both here.
17. When creating a Landing Page, you can upload any graphical and text Content to the FreshMail App. Note that you are solely liable for the Content you upload. Read more in points 54 to 58 of the Terms of Use about Moderation and the “notice and take down” procedure.
18. Note that you are solely and fully liable for the data and Content you upload to the FreshMail App. You shall indemnify and hold FreshMail harmless from any liability for the data you have uploaded to the FreshMail App.
19. FreshMail has the right to verify all email addresses imported to its System and will use dedicated IT tools to verify if any risks may arise from your sending of Campaigns to toxic (potentially dangerous) email addresses. If any such risk is found during the verification, such a Campaign will not be sent by FreshMail. If a large number of toxic email addresses or Group Email Addresses is found on any Subscriber List, FreshMail may suspend the sending of the Campaign to the entire Subscriber List concerned or block your Account according to Sections 59, 60, and 63 of these Terms of Use.
20. If you have previously taken advantage of a Trial Period, just after you enter into the Contract with FreshMail for the paid use of the FreshMail App, all your data, your Subscriber Lists, and Contents will be saved in the paid Account.
How do I send my first Campaign?
21. The FreshMail App has been designed for easy and intuitive use by everyone eligible. FreshMail enables you to design your Campaign from scratch or by applying predefined solutions. If you need any help, read FreshMail’s “How to plan an email campaign.” You can find it here. Remember that it is you who creates your Campaigns and their content. FreshMail only provides you with the right tools to do so.
22. Remember that Campaigns sent from accounts paid for via the online payment service system are sent only once the amounts due are credited to FreshMail’s Account. FreshMail automatically posts all payments made online. You need to be patient, however, as the payment processing can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
23. You can find the results of each sent Campaign in the Report, which is updated on an ongoing basis. The Report registers the activities of Subscribers for the duration of your paid use of the FreshMail App. The Subscriber activity after this period will not be included in the Report.
24. The photographs featured in the templates from the FreshMail template library are indicative only, and you should not use them in any actual Campaigns.

Privacy Policy – to protect the secrets entrusted to us
43. When you do business with FreshMail, you and FreshMail are like connected vessels. This means that you and FreshMail must protect every piece of information entrusted to one another. By concluding the Contract, you warrant and represent that together with FreshMail, you will protect all information exchanged between you and FreshMail. The Terms of Use of information security are established in the Privacy Policy, which you can read here.
44. Your compliance with the Privacy Policy is not always mandatory. If you are required to disclose any information under the prevailing regulations of law, you must comply with all obligations arising therefrom.
45. If you allow FreshMail in prior by email or letter to do so, FreshMail may use your Campaigns and/or Landing Pages and their delivery results in part or whole as case studies for industry meetings, conferences, published papers, or research work. Remember: if we ask for this permission, a “No” is also a good answer.
46. FreshMail continues to improve its Portal and App and strives to improve the effectiveness of your Campaigns. That is why you agree for FreshMail to use the statistical data generated from your Campaigns for statistical analysis and research, and the statistical data includes:
(i) number;

FreshMail may ask for your consent to publish information about FreshMail’s business with you, including by publishing your logo on FreshMail’s website. Remember: if we ask for this permission, a “No” is also a good answer.
Outsourcing of personal data processing
48. When you created an Account in the FreshMail App, a document titled “Personal Data Processing Outsourcing Agreement” was generated, which you have signed.
49. Note that you are a Personal Data Controller (or, as applicable, you act as a Personal Data Processor on behalf of a Personal Data Controller), and you are required to conclude an agreement with FreshMail to specify the extent and purposes of outsourcing of personal data processing by FreshMail.
50. FreshMail is outsourced for and manages the processing of Personal Data on your behalf against your payment for the FreshMail App that you use.
51. You can download Personal Data from the FreshMail App (if any Personal Data has been uploaded and potentially modified to and in the FreshMail App) into a CSV (comma-separated values) file. The CSV file will include the Personal Data of your Subscribers uploaded to the FreshMail App and the contents of the additional fields stored in the FreshMail App. This way, FreshMail discharges its obligation imposed by Article 20(1) of GDPR.
Moderation
52. Prior to sending, each Campaign is moderated by FreshMail for compliance with the highest standards of mass delivery of email and text message communications. The FreshMail Customer Support screens each Campaign for compliance with FreshMail’s Terms of Use, Anti-Spam Policy, and Privacy Policy; this includes checking that a resignation link is included in the Campaign. If no resignation link is provided in the Campaign, the Campaign is prevented from being sent. FreshMail may also suspend any Campaign from sending if it features any offensive, illegal, or immoral content or if the Campaign is otherwise in violation of FreshMail’s Terms of Use, Anti-Spam Policy, or Privacy Policy. If your Campaign becomes suspended, you are not entitled to a refund of any payment already made to FreshMail.
53. Landing Pages are moderated not unlike Campaigns; see Section 52 of the Terms of Use, although no Landing Page is required to feature the resignation link.
54. Campaigns and Landing Pages sent or shared from all types of FreshMail Accounts are subject to moderation, irrespective of the Payment plan in effect.
55. Moderation by FreshMail does not release you from your liability for the content and management of your Campaigns and Landing Pages.
56. Aside from Moderation, FreshMail has the right to remove certain Content that you may have uploaded to the FreshMail App; this applies especially to the content published on Landing Pages and reported beyond any doubt by any third party or officials to be in violation of anyone’s rights and/or the prevailing regulations of law.
Account and sending block
57. FreshMail may temporarily block your Account if:
(i) you are in actual or reasonably suspected breach of these Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, the Anti-spam Policy, the prevailing regulations of law, or the principles of social interaction. If your Account is blocked because of this, the Account will be unblocked once you have provided the necessary clarification of the breach. However, despite this clarification, we may continue to block your Account if we consider that the security of the FreshMail App or other legitimate considerations require it, in particular, if we are required to do so by law or by a relevant state authority (for example, police, Personal Data Protection Office (UODO), etc.). If FreshMail deems that the breach was committed to use any functionality of the FreshMail App against their intended use, especially to generate and distribute spam, the Account will remain blocked, and you will forfeit all the rights to have your payments refunded. In these circumstances, we may terminate the Contract concluded with you with immediate effect in accordance with point 64 (i) of the Terms of Use.
(ii) you are in breach of the provisions on the correct use of the FreshMail App, as specified in points 59 to 61 of the Terms of Use.
(iii) you have failed to pay for the use of the FreshMail App for at least 15 (fifteen) days from the due payment date.
58. If FreshMail discovers a Campaign or a Landing Page which has been sent or published, respectively, against FreshMail’s Anti-Spam Policy or the prevailing regulations of law, or Spamtraps are found by FreshMail on any Subscriber List you have (including abuse@domain email addresses and/or postmaster@domain email addresses), FreshMail can permanently block you from sending any Campaigns to the Subscribers on the List.
Provisions on the correct use of the FreshMail App
59. The correct use of the FreshMail App ensures superior standards and efficiency for thousands of our customers. It is, therefore, important to adhere to the provisions on the correct use of the FreshMail App in such a way that it is equally satisfactory for all its users. In consequence, some instances of the Customer’s use of the FreshMail App may be considered a misuse despite the fact that the Customer has bought FreshMail’s services under the subscription plan. This is in compliance with the provisions of Polish law, according to which you cannot make use of your right, which would be contrary to the socio-economic purpose of this right or with the principles of social coexistence.
60. We have defined certain misuse parameters to ensure that the excessive use of certain features does not have a negative impact on the use of the FreshMail App by other customers or on the effectiveness of their campaigns. We define misuse as, in particular, a situation where a customer uses the FreshMail App in a manner that goes beyond standard use, causing a significant overload of our systems, which has a negative impact on the use of the FreshMail App by other customers. In such a situation, we will inform the Customer and give them instructions on how to use the FreshMail App in the correct manner.
61. If the Customer continues to misuse the FreshMail App, FreshMail reserves the right to suspend or block their Account. Each such case shall be considered by us individually and at our discretion. In the cases mentioned above, the Customer is not entitled to demand reimbursement of any amounts paid to FreshMail.
Termination of the Contract
62. You may terminate the Contract at any time before the end of the current subscription period, with the termination becoming effective at the end of the subscription period you have chosen when entering into the Contract. If you have chosen a monthly subscription, the termination will be effective at the end of the respective billing period in which the Contract was terminated. If you have chosen an annual subscription, the termination will be effective at the end of the annual period you have paid for. However, if you decide to migrate your Account to MailerLite, we will enter into a separate agreement governing the details of the migration. Migration will be possible earlier than the end of the subscription period.
To submit a notice of termination, use the “Cancel subscription” option available in your Account after logging in. To migrate your Account data to MailerLite, follow the instructions given in the Guide to Migration or contact our Customer Support at pomoc@freshmail.pl.
63. In view of the process of merging FreshMail with MailerLite, we have undertaken to operate Customer Accounts until 28 February 2025. On this date, the Contract between us will expire. We will not terminate your Contract before this date, subject to clause 64 of these Terms of Use.
64. FreshMail may terminate the Contract with you with immediate effect without refunding you any payment you have made to FreshMail when any of the following occurs:
(i) you are or have been in breach of the Terms of Use, the Privacy Policy, and/or the Anti-Spam Policy;
(ii) you are or have been in violation of the prevailing regulations of law;
(iii) you have failed to conclude a Personal Data Processing Outsourcing Agreement with FreshMail;
(iv) if you have failed to make a payment to FreshMail for more than 15 days. In this case, after the expiry of the Contract, you will still have access to the tab showing your unpaid invoices. Once they are paid, you will be able to purchase a new subscription plan and use your Account once again;
(v) you have canceled an order for Personal Data processing outsourced from FreshMail;
(vi) you have requested the removal of your own Personal Data in whole or in any part which renders FreshMail unable to perform the Contract, or you have objected to the processing of your Personal Data by FreshMail.

65. In the event of termination of the Contract, you should download the databases and Content that you have uploaded with your Account; you will have a grace period of 30 (thirty) days to download the data after the Contract expires. Once the grace period for your data to be downloaded expires, FreshMail will delete all databases and Content you have uploaded to the FreshMail App without notice. Once your databases and Content have been deleted, you can only recover the data as provided for in Section 69 of the Terms of Use.
Deleting your Account
66. Due to FreshMail’s commitment to providing superior Personal Data protection standards to your Subscribers, the FreshMail App allows you to delete your Account and all the data collected in the Account, which includes your Subscriber Lists, Contents, sent Campaign reports, autoresponders, draft unsent Campaigns, and draft autoresponders, and all contact and invoicing data which you have submitted to FreshMail.
