Terms of Service

    Last updated: July 15th, 2019

    Direct Mail Marketing Terms and Conditions

    Credit Policy:

    All purchased credits are non-refundable and do not expire. Free credits are redeemable for printing costs only and cannot be refunded or converted to cash. Free credits may be applied to both Free and Subscription accounts.

    USPS Delivery:

    We rely on the United States Postal Service (USPS) for mail delivery, over which we have no control. Therefore, while we provide USPS delivery status and tracking information to the best of our ability, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of this data, nor is delivery a basis for a refund.

    Subscription Management:

    Clients may cancel their subscription at any time through their account dashboard under the "Billing" section. Clients enrolled in a yearly subscription plan receive two months free as part of their 12-month commitment. These plans may only be canceled at the end of the current term. To ensure cancellation at the end of the term, clients must contact support before the renewal date to request that their plan be set to auto-cancel.

    Refund Policy:

    We send monthly subscription confirmation emails and include clear links to support and cancellation options. As such, clients are responsible for managing their own subscriptions. We do not offer refunds for unused services or retroactive cancellations beyond the current billing period. If a client cancels a subscription shortly after a renewal (typically within 3–5 business days), we may, at our discretion, issue a one-time courtesy refund for that most recent charge.

    Order Cancellation and Refund Processing:

    If an order is canceled, a full refund will be issued to your Thanks.io account within 30 minutes. If you prefer a refund to your credit card, please note that these requests are handled on a case-by-case basis. In such cases, any applicable merchant processing fees will be deducted from the refund amount.

    Reverse Append Services and Mailing List Purchases:

    All Reverse Append Services and Mailing List Purchases made through Thanks.io are non-refundable. Upon completion of your purchase, you will receive immediate access to the data, which is considered a final sale. We do not offer refunds, exchanges, or cancellations for these services due to their intangible nature and instant delivery.

    Bulk Mailing Recommendation:

    Direct mail marketing is most effective when done in bulk. If you're considering mailing individual pieces and are concerned about delivery times or minor handling effects (such as bent corners), please note that direct mail marketing is optimized for larger, targeted campaigns to achieve high impact and engagement.

    Acceptable Use Policy:

    We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order at our sole discretion if we believe it violates any applicable laws, contains threatening, abusive, defamatory, or otherwise inappropriate content, or if it poses a risk to the safety or integrity of our business, clients, or partners.

    In order to use the Thanks.io.com, Inc.
