Acceptable Use Policy

Effective date: July 1, 2026

This Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”) applies to everyone who uses SimpleNewsletter365. It is part of the Terms of Service. Because your newsletters send from your own Microsoft 365 mailbox and domain, misuse puts your own sender reputation at risk as well as the integrity of the platform.

Permission to email

You may only send to recipients who have given you a lawful basis to email them, such as consent or an existing business relationship permitted by law. You may not:

• Send to purchased, rented, scraped, or harvested lists.
• Send to recipients who have unsubscribed or marked your mail as spam.
• Send without a clear sender identity and a working unsubscribe mechanism.

Prohibited content and activity

You may not use the Service to send or store content that:

• Is unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading, including phishing, spoofing, or impersonation.
• Distributes malware, or links to malicious or deceptive sites.
• Promotes hate, harassment, violence, or illegal goods and services.
• Infringes intellectual property or privacy rights.
• Involves regulated categories that you are not authorized to market.

Platform integrity

You may not attempt to circumvent send pacing or mailbox limits, evade suppression and unsubscribe handling, probe or breach security, disrupt the Service, misrepresent your identity, or use the Service in a way that threatens deliverability for yourself or others. Automated access through our MCP server must stay within the granted policy and confirmation guardrails.

Deliverability and complaints

We monitor for high bounce rates, spam complaints, and other signals that indicate harmful sending. To protect the platform and other customers, we may throttle, pause, or suspend sending, require list hygiene, or terminate accounts that generate excessive complaints or violate this AUP.

Reporting abuse

Report suspected abuse to [email protected]. We investigate reports and take proportionate action.

Enforcement

Violations may result in warnings, feature limits, suspension, or termination, depending on severity and risk, with or without notice where immediate action is needed to protect the platform or comply with law.
