Acceptable Use Policy

We’re in this thing together. The actions individual Members take can have a big impact on our system as a whole. That’s why all Mailchimp Members must follow this Acceptable Use Policy in their use of Mailchimp and any other Mailchimp Add-ons or products we may offer, like Websites, Ads, Mandrill, TinyLetter and Stores (collectively, the "Service"). If you violate this policy, we may suspend or terminate your account or access to the Service. We may also suspend or terminate accounts according to our Standard Terms of Use where we see behavior, content, or other factors that pose a threat to our platform. If a term is capitalized in this Acceptable Use Policy but isn’t defined, it has the meaning given to it in our Standard Terms of Use.
