General Service Provision

  • No limit on number of campaigns sent.

  • Additional charges for oversized emails

    • Generally it is best practice to ensure your emails are not too big, we advise you to maintain the size of each email at less than 100Kb. We do not enforce a limitation on the size of each email sent, however emails above 100Kb size each will be at an additional charge to cover bandwidth used priced at a multiple of your cost per email rate.

    • For all emails sent exclusive of transactional emails the fee for emails sent larger than agreed upper size of 100Kb will be calculated at:-

      total email size in Kb / agreed upper email size (100Kb) multiplied by cost per email

      Eg.
      If you send an email which is 200Kb then you will be charged at 2 times your cost per email rate.
      If you send an email which is 125Kb then you will be charged at 125/100 times your cost per email rate.
      If you send an email which is 375Kb then you will be charged at 375/100 times your cost per email rate.

      For transactional emails sent the cost per email for emails above the agreed upper size is round to the nearest whole number.
      Eg.
      If you send a transactional email which is 140Kb then you will be charged at 1 times your cost per email rate.
      If you send a transactional email which is 230Kb then you will be charged at 2 times your cost per email rate.
      If you send a transactional email which is 360Kb then you will be charged at 4 times your cost per email rate.
