Mumara License/Account

Mumara is an integrated platform that offers variety of software services, customer communication and multi-channel marketing tools. The apps Mumara offer are both SaaS and some of them are self-hosted. Whether you have subscribed to one of the SaaS app, or have downloaded/installed a self-hosted one, I.e. MumaraCklassic, Mumara grants an exclusive and non-transferable user license to you as a buyer. Hence, you agree that you cannot transfer or resell the end-user license.

SaaS Apps (Hosted Apps)

  1. The portion of SaaS mainly consists of Campaign+, SMS+ and MumaraSMS, more can be released in future. This portion of SaaS apps is the hosted ones and you typically sign-up for the paid subscription to use the services.
  2. Once you sign-up for an account and subscribe to a package, Mumara auto-provisions the installation process on a remote instance, and grants you exclusive and non-transferable access to your account/user license. You can access your account from anywhere globally to start using your services.
  3. You cannot request the transfer of your account, or demand the installation of the license to a server/location of your choice.

Self-Hosted Apps

  1. Both MumaraClassic version (ESP/Pro) was always been and will remain self-hosted. Campaigns+ too has a self-hosted version. More apps or self-hosted versions of apps can later be released in future.
  2. You can install access and control the product from the web server you choose. Single license limits the installation to a single domain and web server at a time. However, to swap the installation domain or web server you would need to reissue the license.
  3. You will not be able to use single user license on more than one computer in a network.
  4. You aren’t allowed to lease or lend any sublicenses by charging the money or even free of cost. However this does not prevent you to use the application for regular business course.

Apart from the installation of our apps, you will be billed for the services and assistance provided by team Mumara. If you need configuration or custom development, you are advised to discuss with a representative of Mumara about the pricing of such services.

MumaraSMS isn’t liable for the content you are transmitting through our app, as we don’t change/modify the content you are sending through the SMS. However, we do give guidelines and keep certain policy to restrict, terminate or block certain kind of content.

Spamming & Spam Laws

Applications belonging to Mumara such as Campaigns+ or MumaraClassic facilitate the clients to configure a solution for bulk email sending. Though we don’t directly have any control to monitor the email streams like Email Server Provider or Email Relay service do, but we still make best of our efforts to encourage legitimate side of email marketing.
We obey all existing spam laws including CASL in Canada, CAN-SPAM act in US and other laws the govern use of email in Europe. We don’t encourage or directly allow spamming in any way or form. Since, Mumara strictly believe in respecting existing spam-laws/ regulations and policies coined by major email clients to curb the spam, you as our customer agree to use our apps only for sending non-spam, legitimate and solicited emails.

GDPR Compliance

Being a software service provider facilitating clients to use marketing automation tools including email marketing, we always encourage our clients to ensure compliance to the current laws and regulations, as mentioned earlier in this TOS doc about CAN-SPAM or CASL. Since General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has been made effective within EU regions, we find it appropriate to make our clients aware of it and make few changes in the TOS docs.
GDPR would apply to all the entities whether in personal capacity or as an organization, collecting and processing the data belonging to EU residents. No matter they belong to a region outside of EU, unless they are collecting and processing the EU residents personal data, GDPR would apply. To keep you out of trouble zone, we would encourage our customers to go through from GDPR and the GDPR consent guidance to its lengths. Here in our TOS, we would outline the important aspects to ensure maximum compliance through this extract.
Major part about the email in GDPR deals with how you should acquire the consent? and later use this consent for data processing. Consent under GDPR is more than just permission; the consent is addressed as “Freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous“.

Active Optin

There shouldn’t be readily ticked checkboxes while collecting the consent. The opt-in box should be unchecked, and to consider the consent valid under GDPR, the contact should actively tick that opt-in checkbox. You shouldn’t follow the procedure of passive opt-in consent.

Specific and Informed

You shouldn’t use tricky ways to collect consent by linking it to the TOS and privacy notification or any services, unless email is required to complete certain service. Keep the consent to send specific communication through email separate from the earlier mentioned.

Freely Given

Consent to send email should be freely given by the contact, don’t attach”Subscribe to Newsletter” in return to certain action, i.e. download a free book. Freely given consent will only be considered valid under GDPR.
  • You agree to always follow double opt-in process of collecting the consent
  • You should keep a proof/record of consent to be able to demonstrate that the subscriber has provided the consent for email purposes.
  • You must have a system in place for the consumers/subscribers to request for the removal of their personal information that they earlier have provided.

Do an Audit

Since the GDPR would also apply to the data you have collected before the GDPR effective date, you should do an audit of your current database.

Authorization

You must be authorized to send email marketing campaigns to the contacts in your list. If the permission is ambiguous, you must resort to obtain a clear authorization again.

Clear Unsubscribe

Providing a clear and easy method of opt-out or unsubscribe is equally important for GDPR compliance, as it was for the CAN-SPAM and other regulations. You should have a proper system in place, where a subscriber can request to discontinue specific marketing communication at any stage, and can also request to discontinue all kind of communication from your side.

Profiling

If you are using certain type of automated workflows to predict certain characteristics of the subscriber/contact through the personal date you have, you must.
  • Make it noticeable to your contacts while acquiring consent or in agreement
  • Provide your contacts/subscribers a way to opt out from the profiling (Halt Profiling)
You agree to make yourself aware of profiling scope in GDPR and act in accordance with it.

Termination

In case a client breaches terms or violates material obligations under this document, Mumara reserves the right to terminate the license or suspend the account of such clients.
