Best Practices

As an online marketing and data management platform with subscribers worldwide, We believe that it is our duty to be extra cautious in preventing the abuse of our services to protect our customers as well as their contacts. And it is also in our best interest to keep the platform clean because our reputation and deliverability depend on it.

Maximum number of records

An Akubo customer shall not exceed the number of contact records they are allowed under their subscription plan (ex. up to 2,000 contacts for Akubo Basic and up to 5,000 contacts for Akubo Pro 5). However, this number limit does not include activity logs, transactions and other records associated with a contact.

Account Security

Akubo provides tools to help the customer keep their account secure from unauthorized access. Akubo allows customers to restrict access to their account by IP address and an email alert is sent to the account administrator when unauthorized access is attempted. It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that they proactively monitor their account login activity to ensure unauthorized access is prevented.

Backups

Akubo will backup customer data every day and will also do an off-site backup on a daily basis.

Availability

Akubo uses 3rd party hosting partners to host the site and Akubo Management does not provide any guarantee for availability beyond what is normally acceptable for website services as the distributed nature of the internet does not allow for guaranteed availability at all times.

General Liability

Akubo will not be held liable for any direct or indirect loss of business or profits resulting from the use or inability to use Akubo’s services.

Account Policy and Termination

Termination of the account will include denial of access to the Akubo service, and deletion of all data in such account. Akubo reserves the right to terminate trial accounts that are not paid 60 days past the end of the free trial period.

  • a. For paid accounts, access will be denied to the Akubo service 30 days past the last contract termination date and deletion of all data will be performed in 180 days.
  • b. Deletion of account before the 180 days period can also be done upon request.
  • c. Notice before data deletion can be done and back up will be provided for a fee equal to two (2) months of service or Php 25,000.00, whichever is higher.

Changes in Terms of Use

Through publishing updated Terms on our Akubo Website, Akubo reserves the right to change any of the Terms. The new Terms shall become effective immediately upon posting and shall apply to any continuing or new use of the Service. We may at any time change the Service or any features of the Service and may discontinue the Service or any features of the Service with appropriate advance advice to all subscribers.
