2. Conditions of use of the platform

2.1License to use the Platform. MailUp, in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, undertakes to provide to the Client a limited, non-exclusive license, for the use of the MailUp® Platform, which directly allows the Client to start communications via e-mail or through other messaging channels and to use the analysis functions related to it, through an SAAS (Software – AS – A – Service) application made available on the Internet. The Client is aware and expressly accepts that the MailUp® Platform is a tool reserved to professional users, and therefore this Agreement is not subject to the legal framework applicable to agreements with consumers. Except in cases of renewal or extension of the Agreement, MailUp will provide the Client with a Trial period, during which the Client can test the functionality of the MailUp® Platform. During the Trial Period, the Client may withdraw from the Agreement at any time, without any charge or cost. In using the MailUp® Platform, the Client agrees to abide by the Terms of Use defined by MailUp and to perform the Agreement in compliance with the provisions of the laws, regulations, provisions of competent authorities or codes of self-discipline in force in the countries of origin and destination of the messages or in the process of implementation, with which MailUp intends to comply. It is agreed that the processing of the data related to the use of the MailUp® Platform will take place in any case in compliance with the applicable provisions of law, it being agreed that the Client takes on the role of Data Controller or depending on the circumstances of Data Processor and MailUp, availing itself for such purpose of its organizational structure, takes on the role of Personal Data Processor or depending on the circumstances of Sub-Data Processor, as better specified in point 2.3 below. Due to the nature and functioning of the MailUp® Platform, the Parties acknowledge that pursuant to and subject to the limits provided under this Agreement, it will be the Client who directly and autonomously manages the IT tools made available by MailUp and it will be the Client, under its own exclusive responsibility, to prepare the messages sent through the MailUp® Platform and to manage, as Data Controller or depending on the circumstances of Data Processor, the data of the recipients of the messages.

2.2 – The Client’s access to the platform. The Client will have access to the MailUp® Platform through authorization and authentication credentials issued to the Client, and kept and used by the latter under its own exclusive responsibility.  Access to the Console and use of the MailUp® Platform must be in compliance with the provisions set forth in this Agreement and in the Terms of Use. In particular, the Client undertakes to keep with the maximum level of confidentiality the alphanumerical codes of access (called “username” and “password”) referred to above and therefore is responsible for the safekeeping of the same and their lack and/or loss of confidentiality: the Client will therefore be the sole party liable for any damages caused by the use of logins and passwords of any account connected to its MailUp® Platform by unauthorized third parties. The Client in any case undertakes to immediately notify MailUp of any theft, loss or appropriation in any manner by unauthorized third parties of the access credentials. For greater security of the Client’s account, MailUp recommends that the Client activates the two-factor authentication method made available to it via the appropriate menu in the MailUp® Platform. It is therefore understood that MailUp will not be liable for any damages or losses incurred or suffered by the Client or third parties, if the damages would have been avoided using the aforementioned two-factor authentication method recommended by MailUp.

2.3Ownership of Personal Data and appointment of the Personal Data Processor. The Personal Data shall remain the Client’s exclusive property and MailUp undertakes not to use such data other than for the purposes contemplated hereby. In particular, by entering into this Agreement and in accordance with article 28 of the Data Protection Regulation, having considered MailUp as a suitable and reliable individual, the Client hereby appoints MailUp as the Data Processor or depending on the circumstances as Sub-Data Processor.

For the purposes of this Agreement, the categories of Personal Data to be processed are determined exclusively by the Client as the sole party responsible for the use of the Platform and the maintenance of the Database. It is understood that it is the sole responsibility of the Client to make its own security copies of the Database and the Personal Data uploaded to the MailUp Platform, in addition to the services offered by MailUp, in order to avoid the loss, in whole or in part, of the same, and that MailUp shall therefore not liable for any damage or loss caused to the Client or third parties if such damage or loss would have been avoided by taking the aforementioned measures recommended by MailUp. It is the sole responsibility of the Client to assess in advance whether the security measures implemented by MailUp are suitable for the processing of such data. In the event that the Client deems it necessary to adopt and/or implement specific security measures for the processing of such data, the Client will promptly inform MailUp. In this case, MailUp will evaluate the Client’s request and draft an appropriate estimate to that effect. In this regard, the Client is aware and agrees that: (i) MailUp processes special categories of Personal Data, as defined by Article 9 of the GDPR, whenever this is necessary in order to perform the obligations undertaken in the Agreement; (ii) the processing of special data by MailUp may entail additional costs for the infrastructure of MailUp, which may be subject to separate quotation; (iii) MailUp can never be held liable for any damage or loss suffered by the Client as a result of uploading particular data to the Platform without prior agreement. By entering into this Agreement and effective as of the date hereof, MailUp hereby accepts such appointment and confirms to have the in-depth knowledge of any related obligations, representing to hold the ability, expertise and skills as required to take on such role. More specifically, MailUp undertakes to process Personal Data in accordance with the instructions and provisions set out in the deed of appointment attached as Annex A to this Agreement.

2.4Requirements for sending communications through the MailUp® Platform. The The Client expressly states to be aware that the essential requirement to use the MailUp® Platform for sending messages in an automated fashion is the existence of a suitable legal basis for processing that permits the receipt of the messages by the recipients in accordance with the data protection law in force from time to time. MailUp may at any time, in case of breach of the terms under the present Clause (e.g. through a report addressed to the MailUp abuse desk or when certain control thresholds on specific indicators, such as “rate of spam reports (feedback loop)” and “hard bounce rate” are exceeded), suspend the use of the MailUp® Platform by the Client; in this case the Client undertakes to provide MailUp with relevant explanations and anything deemed appropriate by MailUp to verify the sending of messages in accordance with the data protection laws in force from time to time. The existence of an appropriate legal basis for the processing of personal data concerns both the recipients of the messages sent via e-mail and the recipients of sms messages. The Client expressly agrees to implement appropriate security measures that the lists uploaded to the MailUp® Platform, also managed through an API, do not contain unauthorized registrations. For example, the insertion of a CAPTCHA (Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart) confirmation system, to check that the user is not a computer, is considered an adequate safety measure. Where the Client fails to adopt suitable and adequate security measures for this purpose, MailUp may, at its sole discretion, disable the API on the registration form on the Client’s MailUp® Platform, until the risk of further non-conforming registration is eliminated. The adoption of suitable and adequate security measures by the Client constitutes an essential obligation on the part of the Client. In the event of failure to fulfil, even just once, this essential obligation, MailUp reserves the right to reduce the mailing speed until the risk of further violations has been excluded, or to terminate the Agreement in accordance with art. 8.7 below.

The Client declares that it is aware that MailUp specifically prohibits:

  1. the use and/or purchase and/or the lease of mailing lists from external suppliers, even in the event that consent has been gathered by third parties, and it is also prohibited to send to recipients compiled from public lists, public registers or lists published on the internet;
  2. the use of mailing lists gathered through co-registration and/or date-sharing activities (such as, merely by way of example and without any limitation, “passive co- registration”, “list broking”, “list rental”, “affiliate email marketing”) and any other similar situation in which the Client does not gather the consent directly and/or the consent gathered does not refer to specific data processing;
  3. the use of applications/functions such as SMTP+, SMTP Relay, Fast Email, Instant SMTP, WebService/API to send massive messages with commercial/marketing/promotional contents provided by third parties or DEM, EDM, direct emailing, direct email marketing;
  4. the sending of material that falls into one of the following categories: (a) obscene and/or child pornography; (b) offensive material or material with purposes contrary to morality; (c) material with purposes contrary to public order; (d) material that infringes the rights of third parties; (e) material protected by copyright (e.g., books and/or publications or parts thereof or anything else); (f) illegally possessed material (e.g., pirated software, unauthorised copies, etc.); (g) information or databases that contravene current pirated software, unauthorised copies, etc.); (g) information or databases in conflict with current legislation in the country of reception and/or origin of the messages or in any case in conflict with Italian legislation; (h) material that incites violence or hatred; (i) material that sells and promotes services or goods that are illegal in the country of reception and/or origin of the messages or in any case in conflict with Italian law; (j) material introducing viruses, trojans or other harmful and illegal software; (k) messages referring to: services or products such as escort and dating services; pornography or other sexually explicit content; pharmaceutical products; work from home, online earning opportunities and lead generation; online trading, day trading tips, or stock market related content; gambling services or products; multi-level marketing affiliate marketing; credit repair and debt settlement opportunities; mortgages and loans; dietary, herbal and vitamin supplements; erotic items or references to erotic games; (l) material that is otherwise deemed to violate applicable law and/or offend public order and/or morality, in MailUp’s sole discretion.

In all such cases, MailUp reserves the right to reduce the mailing speed until the risk of further violations has been excluded, or to immediately and definitively block access to and use of the MailUp® Platform and/or to declare the automatic termination of the Agreement by law due to breach in accordance with art. 8.7 of this Agreement.

Furthermore, the Client expressly undertakes to use the MailUp® platform in compliance with current legislation with particular reference to the Guideline on Promotional Activities and Countering Spam  – 4 July 2013 (Published in the Official Gazette No. 174 of 26 July 2013 – Register of Measures No. 330 of 4 July 2013) and to the Provision on consent to the processing of personal data for the purposes of “direct marketing” through traditional and automated contact tools – 15 May 2013 (Published in the Official Gazette No. 174 of 26 July 2013 – Register of Measures No. 242 of 15 May 2013) both issued by the Data Protection Authority. The Client undertakes to comply with the provisions set forth on the prohibition on mailing of communications that are unsolicited and unwanted by the recipients (otherwise referred to as the mailing of “spam” and to engage in “spamming”) in point “VI Spam and limitations” of the Terms of Use and Antispam Policy.

In the event that the Client were responsible/liable for the use of the service for unlawful purposes and/or for the mailing of unsolicited or unauthorized advertising (“spamming”) as described above, causing damage to the reputation of MailUp and/or to the operations of its service, such as the registration of one or more mailing or second level domain IPs linked to the service on a Relay Block List or international Blacklist (including but not limited to such blacklists as URIBL, SURBL, SORBS, SPAMCOP, SPAMHAUS, and others), or a blacklisting or relay block listing with any Internet Service Provider (including but not limited to such ISPs as Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, AOL, Godaddy, Register, Aruba, Fastweb, Alice and others), the Client shall be considered the sole and exclusive party responsible and liable for the breaches committed, and shall indemnify and hold harmless MailUp from and against any liability whatsoever in such regard, and MailUp reserves the right to take action in the advisable forums to obtain compensation for damages, whether suffered by MailUp itself or third parties, caused by such conduct.

MailUp, at any time, even in advance and starting in the free trial period, will be entitled to suspend the mailings through the MailUp® Platform and ask the Client to provide documentation proving compliance with the provisions of this Clause 2.4. The Client will have 10 (ten) calendar days of starting from the receipt of the communication sent by the abuse prevention service/office, in order to provide what is requested above. In the event that the Client refuses to provide the documentation requested pursuant the above terms, or such documentation is missing, inadequate or incomplete, for any reason whatsoever, MailUp reserves the absolute right to reduce the mailing speed until the risk of further violations has been excluded, or to definitively block access to the MailUp Platform® and to declare the automatic termination by law of the Agreement due to breach in accordance with art. 8.7 below. In such case, MailUp will have no liability whatsoever, and will not be under any obligation to pay any indemnity and/or compensation for the service not used; MailUp, in such case, will be entitled to charge to the Client the greater amount between EUR 1,000.00 (one thousand/00 Euro) and 10% of the fee due for the entire Agreement, without prejudice to the right to compensation for any greater damages of any nature whatsoever, directly or indirectly caused as a result of the use of addresses lacking the requisites provided under the applicable legal framework in force and this Agreement.

The Client undertakes to include in each message of a promotional, commercial nature and / or for which the legal basis used is the consent, sent through the MailUp® Platform a functioning link that enables the recipient to have access to all information necessary to freely unsubscribe and therefore not receive any further emails. The above-mentioned link for cancellation must be clear, recognizable and legible. The cancellation must be automatic, take place through a maximum of two clicks and not require the insertion of a password or the mailing of an email. Any requests to unsubscribe must be processed by the Client within 3 (three) days after the request. MailUp reserves the right to verify the actual compliance with this deadline by which the Client must cancel the requesting party from the mailing lists loaded onto the database of the MailUp® Platform.

The Client further declares that it is aware of and accepts that the gathering of consent from the recipients of the messages or the identification of an appropriate legal basis for the processing is a duty that rests exclusively with the Client. Similarly, it is the sole responsibility of the Client to inform recipients that they may use media provided by third parties, such as the MailUp® Platform. Moreover, the Client is solely responsible for informing recipients, prior to using the MailUp® Platform, that – with regard to email communications – statistical tracing systems may be used which allow for the detection of the opening of a message and click made on links (hypertext links contained in the email), identifying them by quantities and dates in accordance with the specific techniques indicated of the MailUp® Platform.

MailUp is therefore released and will be fully indemnified and held harmless by the Client from and against any liability deriving from the methods used by the Client to enter the data in the databases made available to the latter for the use of the MailUp® Platform, as well as the methods of gathering consent for the use of such instruments. In order to ensure high quality in the mailing of messages and to offer to the Client all instruments that may be useful to prevent the mailing of unwanted messages, MailUp will automatically exclude from mailing lists entered onto the MailUp® Platform email addresses which are inexistent and/or wrong, recipients who have expressed their desire not to receive communications from the Client and other recipients to whom any contacts for commercial purposes do not appear to comply with the spam prevention criteria and are potentially harmful to its commercial image, also taking into account best practices recognized by operators in the sector.

The Client represents to aware that all correspondence between the Client and MailUp, including its collaborators, may be registered and stored/filed. In this regard, the Client authorizes MailUp to: a) forward to anti-spam operators or ISPs any communication or correspondence between the Client and the Abuse Desk service, identifiable through the email abuse@mailup.com or abuse@pec.mailup, only following an explicit request by these subjects; b) to disclose to the Client’s recipients – should they request it following a report to the Abuse Desk service – the Client’s identification information. In this respect, by signing of this Agreement, the Client shall fully release MailUp.

2.5Information on the sender. The Client undertakes to include, in the text of every email sent, in a clearly visible manner, a section entitled “about us”. Such section must contain the following information:

  1. name (last name and first name) and residential address of the sender if an individual; in the case of companies, entities or associations, in addition to the name (for example the company name) and address of the registered office, also the legal form, an indication of the relevant register, companies register or other equivalent commercial/association register/guild with the relevant registration number;
  2. contact information consisting of at least a valid telephone number or an electronic contact form, as well as an e-mail address, and
  3. if available, the identification number must be provided for purposes of VAT, the VAT code for EU purposes, VAT identification number or other equivalent tax identification number.

Client acknowledges that MailUp expressly prohibits the use of temporary, or “disposable”, e-mail accounts, or other anonymization systems that do not permit the sender to be identified. Client therefore agrees to only use e-mail accounts that clearly permit identification. Client also acknowledges that in the event of a breach of this provision, MailUp reserves the unquestionable right to suspend the service and terminate this Agreement pursuant to Article 8.7.

2.6  Additional functions and Application programming interface. The MailUp® Platform provides the Client with features, tools and applications for integration with external software (“API” or “interoperability      functions”) as set out in the “MailUp®  API” https://helpmailup.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/mailupapi/pages/36342419/Introducing+the+MailUp+API. For this purpose, MailUp can also make use of APIs developed by third parties. Through the API, the Client has the possibility of creating personalized integrations between the MailUp® Platform and third party applications in order to facilitate automatic data updating functions. The Client is the only party responsible for the use of the API and undertakes to use them with adequate tools and in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. The use through the MailUp® Platform of functions made available by third parties may be subject to acceptance of contractual conditions imposed by such third parties. In the event that the API is provided by a third party and such third party suspends or discontinues the provision of such interoperability functions, MailUp may consequently suspend or discontinue the Client’s access to the interoperability functions, without prior notification and without incurring any costs, charges or expenses, simply by providing a service notice to the Client.

2.7Procedure for cancelling the Client’s data. Upon the expiry of 10 (ten) days from the Expiration date or termination of the Agreement for any reason, MailUp will be entitled to cancel the data filed/stored on behalf of the Client in the MailUp® Platform, as well as any remaining receivables as specified in article 7.1. Such data may be viewed and downloaded freely by the Client by the above deadline by using the normal functions of the MailUp® Platform. In the event of block on access to the MailUp® Platform (e.g., due to administrative irregularities, see Article 4.3) the Client may gain access solely after removing the cause that gave rise to the block. Without prejudice to such right of cancellation, longer preservation timeframes may be imposed on account of requirements other than those indicated herein, and in particular in the event of investigations by the Judicial Police or Entities in charge of conducting controls. – Customer care.

All Fees shall be net of VAT and any other statutory charges. In the event of payment in a currency other than Euro (€), the Fee invoiced to the Client will be calculated based on the official exchange rate on the day before the date of issuance of each invoice. The foregoing is subject to the provisions of arts. 7.1 and 7.3 below. The payment may be made by wire transfer, PayPal or credit card, subject to successful payment. If the Client is required to pay the Fee for the order and fails to do so within 5 calendar days from the Date of Acceptance, MailUp will send the Client a reminder to pay with a reminder to comply within 15 (fifteen) days. In case of persistent breach, upon expiration of the aforementioned term MailUp may, at its sole discretion and at any time, terminate the Agreement pursuant to Article 8.7, without prejudice to MailUp’s right to demand payment of the entire Fee due under the Agreement. On the other hand, if the Client does not pay the Fee within the terms indicated in the Order Form, MailUp may, at its sole discretion and at any time, disable the sending function, subject to notice in the MailUp® Platform, of all the MailUp® platforms registered to the Client.

If upon the automatic renewal of the Agreement the pre-authorized charge were unsuccessful for any reason (merely by way of example and without any limitation: expired credit card or inexistence of the necessary funds), this will give rise to an immediate block on the mailing functions and the simultaneous notification of failure to pay on the MailUp® Platform and to the Client’s Administrative Contacts selected for the receipt of administrative information. Upon the expiry of an additional 10 (ten) calendar days without payment by the Client, MailUp may block the access on the MailUp® Platform and/or declare the automatic termination by law of the agreement in accordance with art. 8.7 of the Agreement and proceed with the subsequent cancellation of the Client’s data, without prejudice to MailUp’s right to the collection and/or final withholding of the Fees for the entire contractual term.

7. Credits

7.1Procedures for mailing and receive SMS messages.Notwithstanding the payment of the Fees pursuant to article 4.3 above, and without prejudice to what may be indicated in the Order Form and/or under Clause 7.3 below, in order to send SMS messages, the Client must first purchase a “ recharge” expressed in “credits”, in predefined and non-divisible quantities, or, in the case of receiving SMS messages, the Client shall pay its Fees in advance and/or what may be indicated in the Order Form. Once the credits purchased in advance have been used, it is not possible to carry out additional mailings for that specific type of messages except by purchasing an additional credits package. Unless otherwise specified in the Order Form, purchased credits may be used within 12 (twelve) months after purchase, regardless of any renewal of the Agreement and/or the purchase of new credit packages. After this deadline, in fact, (i) any remaining unused credits will be cancelled and the relevant amount will be withheld definitively by MailUp, without any reimbursement or restitution being due; simultaneously, (ii) all of the data registered within the MailUp® Platform that is not used for the mailing of emails, including (without limitations) telephone numbers, mailing statistics, messages and settings, including the keywords issued to the Client for the mailing of SMS to recipients in countries with specific regulatory restrictions (for example, the USA), will be cancelled without any possibility of restoration. It is understood that under no circumstances, including the expiration, termination or cancellation of the Agreement for any reason whatsoever, previously purchased credits can be refunded or transferred and that the deletion of the data on the MailUp® Platform will in any case result in the simultaneous deletion, according to the procedures set out in art. 2.7, of the remaining unused credits and all the data related to them, including the keywords mentioned above. In the event of a purchase of credits that is split into more than one delivery, as per the Order Form signed by the Parties , and the Client’s failure to meet the agreed purchase plan and/or a delay in the pre-established payments exceeding 30 (thirty) calendar days, MailUp reserves the right to invoice the total amount of the credits ordered and not yet purchased together in a single invoice and to charge as a penalty the difference between the unitary price per credit stated in the price list corresponding to the minimum credit package actually bought by the Client multiplied by the total number of credits ordered, less the total amount of credits ordered, without prejudice to the right of MailUp, in its sole discretion and at any time, to disable the sending function of all MailUp® Platforms in the name of the Client and, after 10 (ten) calendar days have elapsed without the Client having paid the amount due and invoiced, MailUp will be entitled to block the Client’s access to the MailUp® Platform and/or declare the automatic termination of the agreement pursuant to Clause 8.7 of this Agreement. MailUp shall from time to time charge to the Client a variable number of credits for each message sent, depending upon the country of destination. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the determination of the number of credits charged per message sent will be made taking into consideration, from time to time, the cost of sending the message and, in general, the costs related to the telephone and/or telematic service at the moment of the mailing. For purposes and on the assumption of the foregoing, MailUp publishes a periodically updated Credit SMS Table which sets forth the number of credits charged per country, providing notice in the Client’s MailUp® Platform of any change in such table. The Client undertakes to review such table prior to each mailing of SMS, regardless of whether a notice of changes has been sent to the MailUp® Platform, in any case hereby declares that it accepts the provisions of the same. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the values set forth in the above-mentioned table are determined by assuming, in each individual distribution list related to the Client, an allocation among the individual telephone operators that is reasonably in line with the market share held by each. If a single distribution list were to show an allocation among the single telephone operators that is not in line with their respective market shares, the amount of the credits charged for the SMS sent to the users present in such list may be proportionately increased to take into account the higher cost related to the telephone service. MailUp may be charge to the Client, from time to time, a variable number of credits for each message received, depending upon the country of sending and/or destination. The Client acknowledges and accepts that the determination of the number of credits charged per message received will be made taking into consideration, from time to time, the cost of received the message and, in general, the costs related to the telephone and/or telematics service at the moment of the mailing applicable in each country. The Client declares that it is aware of the fact that the higher cost charged to MailUp in connection with the telephone service will be apparent only after the Client’s received of SMS. The Client therefore accepts that MailUp may charge to the Client the greater amount due only once the higher cost incurred becomes known.

7.3 Provision of the corporate messaging service via aliases. MailUp has adopted a code of conduct for the provision of business messaging services containing alphanumeric codes (the “Code of Conduct”) and is a registered operator in the Register of Communication Operators (“ROC”). When sending text messages with an eleven-character alphanumeric text sender (“Aliases”), the Client undertakes to comply with the AGCOM Resolutions, the Code of Conduct, the ROC Operating Manual and all other provisions of law, regulation, order and discipline, as applicable from time to time (the “Alias Regulations”). The Client acknowledges and accepts that the sending of SMS with Aliases presupposes the prior registration of the Alias itself in the special register managed by AGCOM (the “Registration”). For the purposes of Registration, the Client agrees to provide MailUp with all the information and documents necessary for the preparation of the personal data sheet corresponding to the user of the Alias, including by filling in the appropriate document made available on the MailUp® Platform. The Client represents and warrants that (i) the data and information provided by the Client to MailUp for the fulfilment of the Registration obligations and the other obligations under the Aliases Regulations are true, current, complete and correct and undertakes to promptly notify, and in any event no later than 5 (five) days, any circumstances that would entail a change in any information or data provided to MailUp for the Registration activity and the consequent changes (ii) without prejudice to the cases provided for by the Alias Regulations, will not request MailUp to register Aliases in the name and/or on behalf of third parties, and that it will not give the Alias in attribution or use to other parties or send SMS messages on behalf of other parties, using the Alias exclusively in its own name and in its own interest and that (iii) it will use the Alias in accordance with the provisions of the Alias Regulations and applicable law. The Client also agrees to indemnify and hold MailUp harmless from any damage, burden, cost and expense that MailUp may incur in the event of breach of the foregoing guarantees and commitments by the Client. The Client acknowledges and accepts that if for any reason the Registration of the Alias requested by MailUp for the Customer is not successful, MailUp will not activate in favour of the Customer the service of the MailUp Platform ® that allows the sending of SMS with Alias. MailUp may in any case legitimately refuse, without charge or cost, to allow the sending of SMS with Aliases through the MailUp® Platform if the Client does not meet the requirements of the Alias Regulations at the time of sending or otherwise violates applicable law. SMS messages addressed to telephone numbers with special rates or premiums or to non-geographical numbers (for example, without any limitation, numbers which begin with the prefix 144/166/892/894/895/899) will not be sent.

Where MailUp assigns, upon the Client’s request, a number for sending and/or receiving SMS messages, other than an Alias the Client declares that he/she is aware that the assigned number is, and shall remain, the property of MailUp or of its third-party supplier.

7.2Use of MailUp® Platform without mailing emails.The MailUp® Platform which, by prior choice of the Client, is not used to send e-mails and which is therefore used to send SMS, or to analyse e-mail messages, is subject to payment of any Fee indicated in the Order Form and/or in the “ONLINE” order. If the Client also decides to activate the sending of e-mails, he shall pay the corresponding additional fee pursuant to Article 4.3.

8.1Aggregate Data. As established between the Parties, MailUp holds all rights to the use of statistical information, data and related analyses in aggregate form, deriving from its Clients’ use of the MailUp® Platform.

8.2Advertising. The Client authorizes MailUp’s use of its name and logo in presentations, marketing materials, client lists, financial reports. Except as otherwise provided under arts. 3.1 and 3.2 of this Agreement, the Client’s use of the logo, trade name or any other distinctive mark related to the MailUp® Platform, will have to be requested in advance by the Client in writing and authorized in writing by MailUp.

8.3Trial. MailUp may offer periods of free trial of the MailUp® Platform to new Clients. Such trial period shall be aimed solely for testing the functioning, with limited mailings to test addresses of the Client itself. The same Client may not activate more than 2 (two) MailUp test platforms. No cost is due for the free trial.

8.4 – Assignment of the Agreement. MailUp will be entitled to assign or transfer to third parties the rights and obligations arising under this Agreement; the Client, in gathering consent to the processing of personal data, undertakes to adequately notify such possibility to its own customers. The Client shall be entitled to assign and otherwise transfer its rights and obligations under this Agreement, subject to MailUp’s written consent. In any case, in accordance with the provisions of article 1408 of the Italian Civil Code, MailUp declares in advance that it does not release the transferor Client from its obligations and that it retains the right to action against it if the transferee fails to fulfil the obligations undertaken. If the Client fails to fulfil the obligations provided under this art. 8.4, MailUp may, in its absolute discretion:

(i) automatically terminate the Agreement by law without returning anything whatsoever to the Client for any services not used in accordance with art. 8.7;
