By enrolling as a member, downloading, accessing, or otherwise using THE SOFTWARE, you agree to these Terms of Service and to the conditions contained in both our Privacy Policy and our Anti-Spam Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not use, operate, or distribute THE SOFTWARE in any way, nor may you participate in any Referral Activity or activities LISTZILLA may offer. Since LISTZILLA may find it necessary to update our policies as we grow and expand, we reserve the right, at any time, to modify, alter, or update these Terms of Service without notice and without liability. Your continued participation in the ListZilla program or use of THE SOFTWARE or any LISTZILLA services following the posting of changes to these terms (including the Privacy Policy and Abuse Policy) constitutes your acceptance of such modifications.
1. Nature of Services
LISTZILLA and the List-zilla.com web site are the sole property of Vendetta Apps, Inc. LISTZILLA operates and administrates the List-zilla.com domain as a means for any person to begin the process of building a private email list of potential customers, maintain said list, market, manage, and otherwise promote goods and or services to this list. Although the given list of any member of LISTZILLA is stored and administrated within the List-zilla.com domain, each list is the private property of it's individual owner and each owner retains their rights to remove subscribers, and/or the entire list, at any time.
2. End User License
Your non-exclusive license to use THE SOFTWARE is based on participation as a member in the ListZilla program provided by LISTZILLA and is granted in exchange for your adherence to these Terms of Service for the duration of your participation in said program.
3. Functions of THE SOFTWARE
The purpose of THE SOFTWARE is to provide you with an online email marketing platform designed to facilitate the collection, marketing, and management of an email list, the tracking of email campaigns, and the statistical analysis of all action pertaining to your online email marketing.
4. Refunds
Refunds of LISTZILLA products and services are handled on a per product basis as detailed below:
- Market Manager Basic / Lifetime Membership : Contains a full 30 day, money back guarantee. If after 30 days, any LISTZILLA customer or member has not earned at least their purchase price in commissions, they are entitled to a full refund of their purchase price. (less commissions received)

- Bulk Leads: Contains a full refund policy prior to delivery of product. Since the product is information based and delivered digitally (ie: not recoverable), any customer or member of LISTZILLA may request a refund of their full purchase price. Once the product is delivered, all sales are final. Leads deemed "verified undeliverable" will be replaced at no additional charge.
ANY LISTZILLA CUSTOMER OR MEMBER WHO SUBMITS A CREDIT CARD CHARGEBACK, OR SUBMITS A COMPLAINT TO OUR PROCESSING AGENT WITHOUT FIRST ATTEMPTING TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE WITH LISTZILLA, WILL BE TERMINATED FROM THE LISTZILLA PROGRAM AND THE SOFTWARE, WITHOUT RECOURSE.
5. Referral Activity
The purpose of the built-in Referral Activity is to allow you to build an income, both immediate and residual, based on sales of LISTZILLA products and services for the duration of your participation in the LISTZILLA program.
LISTZILLA makes certain "Promotional Materials" available to you for the promotion of the ListZilla program, which are accessible through your online account manager. Such materials may include banners, buttons, text links, email copy, signature files, etc. and may be updated by LISTZILLA from time to time. You are authorized to use any of the then current promotional materials made available in this manner, and are responsible for maintaining current materials in your promotions. Promotion is restricted to the use of these materials ONLY. Members using un-approved Promotional Materials will be subject to removal from the program and loss of any existing personally referred members. New promotional materials may be submitted to us by members and once approved will be added to the Promotional Area.
As a member you hereby AGREE to receive email from any member of LISTZILLA, or LISTZILLA list to which you are subscribed. Emails received through the LISTZILLA system contain individual unsubscribe links, and members are free to unsubscribe from any list which they no longer wish to receive emails from. Therefore, any member who reports SPAM from an email received from LISTZILLA, or any member in the community will be fined/and or terminated from the program without recourse.
You may not promote your affiliation with LISTZILLA or THE SOFTWARE through the sending of "spam" or "bulk email" under any circumstances. Furthermore, you may not make postings of an advertising nature to any Internet newsgroup, forum, chat room, or other public community, unless that community expressly accepts the posting of such information (almost all do not). Additionally, any commissions generated as a result of spamming will not be remitted.
