  • You own or have the necessary rights to use the content
  • Your content does not violate any laws or third-party rights
  • Your content does not infringe on intellectual property rights

4.2 Prohibited Content

You may not submit content — or use the service to transmit any mailpiece — that:

  • Is illegal, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, or obscene
  • Contains hate speech, discrimination, or promotes violence, or that originates from or is produced by a hate group

  • Constitutes unsolicited bulk or junk mail, "spam," chain mail, or phishing

  • Is deceptive, fraudulent, or constitutes misinformation that has been confirmed to be criminal
  • Is sent to any recipient who has opted out of, or otherwise requested not to receive, mail from you

4.3 Authorization to Mail Recipients

You represent and warrant that, for every postcard you send, you have all rights, consents, and authorizations necessary to mail to each recipient at the address you provide. You are solely responsible for determining that your mailing is lawful and appropriate, including compliance with any opt-out or do-not-mail request. You will not use the service to send mail to any recipient you are not authorized to contact.

4.4 Compliance with Mailing and Data Laws

You are solely responsible for ensuring that your content, mailing lists, and use of the service comply with all applicable laws, regulations, and industry standards, including postal regulations, consumer-protection laws, advertising and marketing-mail rules, and data-protection laws. We do not review or monitor mailpiece content and make no determination as to its legality or suitability for mailing.

4.5 Recipient and Third-Party Data

When you provide recipient names, addresses, or any other personal information, you represent and warrant that you have all necessary rights, consents, and authorizations to collect that information and to provide it to us and our fulfillment providers for the purpose of printing and mailing, and that doing so does not violate any third party's privacy, publicity, or other rights.

5. Pricing and Payment

5.1 Pricing

Current pricing is available on our website. Prices may change from time to time due to changes in postage rates, printing costs, or other factors. We will make reasonable efforts to provide advance notice of significant price increases via email or on-site notification. Price changes will not affect orders already placed or balance already deducted for queued postcards. Your volume pricing tier is based on lifetime top-up amount and does not expire.

5.2 Payment Processing

Payments are processed through Stripe. You agree to provide accurate payment information and authorize us to charge your payment method.

5.3 Account Balance

Account balance is non-refundable and non-transferable. Your balance does not expire but may be subject to account closure policies. Per-card rates are determined by your volume pricing tier at the time each postcard is sent. If pricing changes, the new rates apply to future postcards sent from your balance, not to previously sent postcards.

6. Delivery and Fulfillment

6.1 Delivery Times

We aim to deliver postcards within the timeframes specified on our website. Actual delivery times may vary based on destination and circumstances beyond our control.

6.2 Address Accuracy

You are responsible for providing accurate recipient addresses. We are not responsible for delivery failures due to incorrect addresses. Addresses may be processed against the U.S. Postal Service National Change of Address (NCOALink) database and may be updated as a result; we are not responsible for any such changes. Any address verification or deliverability indicator we or our providers offer is informational only and does not guarantee delivery.

6.3 Lost or Damaged Postcards

While we take care to ensure quality printing and delivery, we cannot guarantee that postcards will not be lost or damaged in transit. We do not provide delivery tracking for postcards, and we have no liability and you are not entitled to a refund or credit if the recipient does not receive a postcard. In such cases, we may offer a reprint or credit at our discretion.

7. Refunds and Cancellations

Once a postcard order is submitted and payment is processed, it cannot be cancelled or refunded as printing begins immediately. If you believe there was an error with your order, please contact us within 24 hours.

8. Intellectual Property

8.1 Our Rights

All content on Postcard.bot, including text, graphics, logos, and software, is owned by us or our licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.

8.2 License to User Content

By uploading content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and display your content solely for the purpose of providing our services.

8.3 Third-Party Fulfillment Providers

Postcards are printed and mailed through third-party fulfillment providers. To fulfill your order, we share recipient addresses and postcard content with these providers, and your use of the service is also subject to their acceptable-use rules. By using the service you agree not to: (a) use the service in any manner those providers prohibit, including the restrictions set out in Section 4; (b) attempt to access, resell, or obtain direct access to any provider's API, systems, or credentials; or (c) reverse engineer, disrupt, or interfere with the service or any underlying provider system. You acknowledge that a complaint or alleged violation reported to a provider may result in suspension of the service as described in Section 11.

9. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

9.1 Service "As Is"

Our service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind, either express or implied. We do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free service.

9.2 Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses. In no event will our total aggregate liability arising out of or relating to the service or these Terms exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us in the twelve (12) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars ($100).

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Postcard.bot and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claims, damages, losses, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from or related to: (a) your use of the service; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) the content of any postcard you submit; (d) recipient or other personal information you provide; (e) your violation of any applicable mailing, consumer-protection, or data-protection law; and (f) any claim passed through to us by a fulfillment provider arising from your use of the service.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms. We may suspend or terminate your access immediately and without prior notice if we believe you have violated Section 4, if a fulfillment provider reports a complaint or suspected violation relating to your activity, or if a provider suspends or restricts the service. You acknowledge that suspension may be required to resolve a provider complaint and may remain in effect until the complaint is resolved. Upon termination, your right to use the service will immediately cease.

12. Privacy

Your use of our service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. Please review our Privacy Policy to understand how we collect, use, and protect your information.

13. Changes to Terms

We may modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting. Your continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

14. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

15. Dispute Resolution

Any disputes arising from these Terms or your use of the service shall be resolved through binding arbitration in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

16. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
