Direct Mail RESTful API Usage Policy

1. Transaction-Based Pricing

• You are charged per job based on the number of records in the mailing list.
• Example:
  • Job 1: 1,500 records: $6.00
  • Job 2: 5,500 records: $11.00
  • Total cost: $17.00
• You are billed only once per job, regardless of how many times you download the resulting files (*.csv, *.zip, *.pdf, etc.).

2. Preview Files

• The Preview Print Ready file contains the first 25 records, is non-billable, and is intended only for review/testing.
• Uploading and processing a file without downloading the result, or downloading only the preview, is non-billable.
• Downloading results using any call other than =prev is a billable event.

3. Download Ratio Requirement

• The number of files downloaded (excluding previews) divided by the number of files uploaded must exceed 50% in any billing period.
  • Example: 30 downloads / 100 uploads = 30% → Violation.
• If a customer violates the API Usage Policy, we will issue an invoice for each job at the API Usage Policy Violation rate (10% of the standard price) 
• Accounts continuing to fall below this threshold may be suspended or disabled for attempting to obtain free value from the system.

4. Advanced Quote Policy

• Free if the job becomes a billable transaction.
• Free for non-billable jobs that are never processed and downloaded.
• Exception: If Advanced Quotes for non-billable jobs exceed 50% of total jobs processed in a month, an Advanced Quote fee will apply.

5. Billing Trigger

• No charges apply when uploading or processing a file.
• Charges (or credit deductions) occur when you download a non-preview file from our service.
