Legal
Terms of Use
Effective date November 5, 2026
These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and Rainmaker LLC d/b/a DirectMailAmerica.com (“Rainmaker,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). They govern access to and use of directmailamerica.com, the DirectMailAmerica web application, APIs, MCP tools, documentation, and related services (together, the “Service”).
By creating an account, clicking to accept, submitting a mailing, calling the API, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
We do not tolerate abuse of the Service. This includes abusive mailings and misuse of our website, email services, APIs, and MCP tools. We may suspend or terminate access for violations. When enabled, we use automated and AI content review as described in Section 7. We report suspected unlawful activity and cooperate with authorities subject to the legal limits in Section 12.
1. Acceptance of these Terms
If you use the Service on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and “you” includes that entity. These Terms apply to consumer (B2C) and business (B2B) use, including use by software agents acting for you.
2. Who we are
The Service is offered by Rainmaker LLC d/b/a DirectMailAmerica.com. Bruce Seymour is associated with the business; your contract is with Rainmaker LLC, not with any individual personally except as the law may otherwise require.
Rainmaker LLC d/b/a DirectMailAmerica.com7 Elm St 2R, New Haven, CT 06510
[email protected]
3. Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old and have the legal capacity to enter a contract. You may not use the Service if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or the jurisdiction from which you access it. If you use the Service for an organization, you must have authority to accept these Terms for that organization.
4. Accounts and credentials
You are responsible for the accuracy of account information, for safeguarding passwords, session tokens, API keys, and other credentials, and for all activity that occurs under your account or keys — including activity by employees, contractors, and automated agents. Notify us promptly at [email protected] if you believe credentials have been compromised.
We may refuse, suspend, or reclaim usernames, API keys, or accounts that we reasonably believe are abusive, misleading, or obtained without authorization. API keys are shown in full only once and are stored as hashes. You must treat keys as secrets.
5. Description of the Service
DirectMailAmerica is a print-and-mail software service. You may compose text, upload documents (including PDFs), provide sender and recipient addresses, choose mail class and options, and authorize us to transmit those materials to third-party printing and mailing services we designate for printing, inserting, and delivery into the United States Postal Service (“USPS”) or other carriers.
We operate as a software platform and intermediary. We do not ourselves print or carry mail. Once a job is released for production or handed to a carrier, we do not control production queues, press schedules, induction into the mail stream, or delivery. Production and USPS timelines are estimates only and are not guarantees.
The Service may run in demo or live mode. Demo mode simulates jobs and does not purchase postage or enter the USPS stream. Live mode is available only when we have enabled live fulfillment and a ready production connection. Pricing shown before a live quote may be an estimate. A labeled demo environment is not a live mailing.
Features may include an address book, bulk CSV send, job status, a REST API, MCP tools, and prepaid credits. We may add, change, or discontinue features. We do not promise uninterrupted availability.
Email to Letter provides a generated inbox and rules for formatting incoming email as a letter. Approval is required by default. If you authorize autosend, matching emails with verified sender signatures may use prepaid credits within your workspace's sending limits. You can pause the inbox or disable a rule to stop future submissions. Attachments and remote images are excluded from printing. Review previews, addresses, rules, and limits before authorizing mailings. An uncertain mailing result requires support review before retrying; credits remain reserved to prevent duplicate postage purchases.
6. User content and license
You retain ownership of documents, text, images, addresses, and other materials you submit (“User Content”). You grant Rainmaker LLC and its processors a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, format, analyze, screen, transmit, print, and mail User Content, and to create operational copies, solely as needed to provide, secure, debug, and improve the Service, to prevent fraud and abuse, and to comply with law.
You represent and warrant that:
- you own User Content or have all rights, licenses, and consents needed to submit it and to authorize printing and mailing;
- User Content and the act of mailing it will not violate any law, regulation, court order, or third-party right, including privacy, publicity, and intellectual-property rights;
- addresses and recipient data are accurate to the best of your knowledge and were collected lawfully; and
- mailings you authorize are ones you are legally permitted to send.
We may refuse, delay, or cancel a job that we reasonably believe violates these Terms or the law, or that cannot be accepted for production or delivery. Refusal does not create a duty to monitor content.
7. Prohibited uses, AI content review, and enforcement
DirectMailAmerica does not tolerate system abuse, abusive mailings, or attempts to use the Service to harm others. These restrictions apply to every product and ordering method, including automated agents and email rules. You remain responsible for mailings sent on your behalf.
You may not use the Service to, or to attempt to:
- submit or mail unlawful, fraudulent, deceptive, defamatory, or threatening content;
- harass, stalk, intimidate, extort, or abuse any person;
- target people with hateful abuse based on characteristics such as race, religion, nationality, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, or disability;
- submit or mail sexually explicit or pornographic content, nonconsensual intimate imagery, or material promoting sexual exploitation;
- infringe copyright, trademark, trade secret, patent, or other intellectual-property rights;
- send spam, unsolicited bulk mail, or mail that violates anti-spam, telemarketing, or consumer-protection laws;
- exploit, abuse, or endanger children, or create or distribute child sexual abuse material;
- threaten violence, promote terrorism, or solicit illegal weapons activity;
- impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation;
- interfere with the Service, probe or breach security, or overload systems;
- evade suspensions or bypass account, payment, rate-limit, content-review, mailing-approval, or other security safeguards;
- resell the Service except under a written agreement with us; or
- use the Service in a way that would cause us or those processing mail on our behalf to violate law or carrier rules.
We may investigate suspected violations, restrict or revoke credentials, suspend or terminate accounts, and refuse, hold, or cancel affected mailings where still possible, including without advance notice when necessary to prevent harm or protect the Service. We may preserve relevant records and report suspected unlawful activity and cooperate with authorities as described in Section 12. Acceptance of an order does not mean we have reviewed or endorsed its contents, and we do not promise to detect every violation.
Automated and AI content review
When enabled, we use automated content review, including artificial intelligence (AI) models, and may use specialized safety services to identify prohibited content, fraud, abuse, and potential legal concerns. Review may analyze text, documents, images, text extracted from images, rendered mailing pages, and related account and order activity. It may apply to any submission method, including the website, APIs, MCP tools, and email services. Availability depends on service settings. This disclosure does not mean every order has been screened.
When enabled, content review may be a condition of accepting or releasing an order. Content may be flagged, held for additional automated assessment by another model or safety service, rejected, or restricted. An incomplete or unavailable review may delay or prevent fulfillment. We may require changes to content and a new review before proceeding. Review does not replace your mailing authorization, payment consent, or other order requirements.
If an order displays an AI review status, a completed review is not necessarily an approval. An “Approved by AI” status refers only to the reviewed content version under the applicable content policy; changing the content may require another review. A status is not a finding that content is lawful, an endorsement, or confirmation of payment, production, or delivery. Automated systems can make mistakes, and a flag or rejection is not by itself proof of illegal activity. These Terms may prohibit content even when it is not illegal.
Review may involve third-party AI and content-safety services processing User Content and related information as described in our Privacy Policy. Our administrative tools show review metadata and do not provide access to flagged content. Routine content decisions use AI. We cannot promise that no person at a third-party service will access content under that service’s safety or legal obligations, or that legally required disclosures will involve no human access. Rejected content and related records may be preserved when required or permitted by law; rejection does not guarantee immediate deletion.
You may contact [email protected] with an order reference to request reconsideration of a content decision. Reconsideration may use further automated assessment and does not guarantee approval or fulfillment by a particular time. Do not attach suspected illegal imagery or resend prohibited content to support.
Report suspected abuse to [email protected]. Include an order reference if available. Do not send passwords, API keys, or full payment-card details.
8. No legal or professional advice
Rainmaker LLC is not a law firm, accounting firm, or licensed professional practice. The Service, templates, documentation, status labels, and communications are tools for transmitting physical mail. They are not legal, tax, compliance, or other professional advice. You are solely responsible for deciding whether and how to mail something, for the wording of your documents, and for any legal effect of a mailing.
9. Your compliance responsibilities
You are solely responsible for ensuring that each mailing and each use of recipient data complies with applicable law. That includes, without limitation, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) to the extent it applies to your campaign, the CAN-SPAM Act and similar commercial-message rules where they apply to mail or related electronic notices, state and federal mail and consumer-protection laws, privacy laws, industry regulations, and court or agency orders.
Providing the Service does not mean we have reviewed your content for legality or that a mailing is valid service of process, notice, or other legal delivery unless a statute or court expressly provides otherwise — and we make no such representation.
10. Payment, credits, pricing, and refunds
Prices for mail classes and options are posted on our pricing page and in the application. List prices may change. Live quotes, postage, and surcharges may differ from estimates. Credits are a prepaid balance measured 1:1 with U.S. cents and may be used only for the Service. Credits are not legal tender, are not a bank deposit, and earn no interest.
We may accept card payments through payment processors and USDC payments via x402 facilitators. We do not custody crypto wallets or card numbers. Network fees, facilitator fees, and processor fees may apply and are your responsibility unless we expressly state otherwise.
Refunds. Demo-mode jobs do not purchase postage and are not billed as live mail. Once you authorize or submit a live mailing and production has begun — including transmission to a printing and mailing service — that mailing is generally non-refundable, including postage, print, and processing fees. Unused credits may be refundable only if required by law or if we agree in writing. Chargebacks and payment disputes initiated in bad faith may result in account suspension.
If a live job fails before release for production because of our confirmed system error, we will restore the related credits or refund that job’s fees as your exclusive remedy for that failure.
11. Third-party services
The Service depends on third parties, including printing and mailing services, USPS and other carriers, cloud hosting, Firebase authentication and related Google services, payment processors and x402 facilitators, content-safety and AI review services when enabled, and analytics or session tools we may use. Those providers have their own terms and privacy policies. We are not liable for their acts, omissions, outages, delays, losses, or changes, except to the extent a non-waivable statute says otherwise.
12. Cooperation with authorities and legal process
Rainmaker LLC cooperates with all valid, lawful requests from courts, law enforcement, regulators, and other competent authorities, and complies with legally binding process. We review a request’s authenticity, legal basis, jurisdiction, and scope before providing records. We disclose information only as required or permitted by applicable law and as described in our Privacy Policy.
Depending on the legal requirements and the records available, this may include account and billing records, mailing documents and artwork, sender and recipient addresses, email-source and rule information, IP and proxy information, request logs, timestamps, authentication references, approval events, available content-review results, and other order security records. Different records may require different legal process, such as a valid subpoena, court order, or warrant. A request alone does not authorize disclosure that the law prohibits.
We preserve relevant records when required by a valid preservation request, legal hold, or other legal obligation, and may retain records for abuse investigations as permitted by law and our Privacy Policy. We can provide only records in our possession or control; we do not guarantee that every record exists or can be recovered.
We will report activity that we reasonably suspect is unlawful to appropriate law enforcement, regulators, or legally designated reporting bodies to the extent disclosure is permitted by applicable law. We will make all reports required by law, including reports of apparent child sexual exploitation when the applicable reporting requirements are met. A content-policy violation or an AI flag alone does not establish that a crime occurred; reporting is based on the available facts and applicable legal requirements, which may require action without a criminal conviction or a completed internal review.
Where permitted by law, we may also disclose relevant information in a qualifying emergency involving danger of death or serious physical injury, to protect the security of the Service, or to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. Paying with cryptocurrency or tokens does not exempt an order from content rules, review, record preservation, or lawful reporting, and does not make the Service anonymous to us or exempt records from lawful disclosure.
We may disclose without prior notice to you when notice is legally prohibited, would be impracticable, or would risk interfering with an investigation. Where legally permitted and consistent with the request, we may notify the affected customer.
Lawful cybersecurity and government information-security requests are subject to the same verification and disclosure limits. Our cooperation with authorities does not create unrestricted access to customer information.
13. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, RAINMAKER LLC, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.
We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free; that mail will be delivered by any date; that tracking information is complete or accurate; or that defects will be corrected. You assume all risk arising from your use of the Service and from each mailing you authorize.
14. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CONNECTICUT AND THE UNITED STATES, RAINMAKER LLC AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, MEMBERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND SERVICE CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO RAINMAKER LLC FOR THE SERVICE IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (US $100).
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations. In those jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud or willful misconduct where such a limitation is prohibited.
15. Indemnification
You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Rainmaker LLC, Bruce Seymour, and their officers, directors, members, employees, contractors, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your User Content; (b) mailings you submit or authorize; (c) your misuse of the Service; (d) your violation of these Terms or of law; (e) your violation of a third party’s rights, including intellectual-property, privacy, and publicity rights; or (f) use of your account or API keys by anyone you authorize or whose use you fail to prevent through reasonable care.
16. Dispute resolution
Before filing a claim, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by writing to [email protected] and allowing thirty (30) days for a response, except where waiting would cause irreparable harm or a statute of limitations would expire.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Connecticut, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules. Exclusive venue for any dispute that is not resolved informally lies in the state and federal courts located in New Haven County, Connecticut, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.
Class action waiver. To the extent enforceable under applicable law, you and Rainmaker LLC waive any right to participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Claims may be brought only in an individual capacity. If this waiver is found unenforceable as to a particular claim, that claim must be severed and the remainder of this section enforced.
17. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate access immediately if you breach these Terms, if required by law or production requirements, if your use creates risk, or if we discontinue the Service. Upon termination, your license to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive — including ownership, licenses already exercised to complete mailings, payment obligations, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, legal process, dispute resolution, and this survival clause — will survive.
We may retain records as described in the Privacy Policy and as required for legal, tax, security, and fulfillment purposes.
18. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. The effective date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes will be posted on this page and, where appropriate, noted in the product or by email to the address on your account. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service.
Before materially changing how we use previously collected User Content, including for new AI processing, we will provide any notice and obtain any consent required by applicable law. This disclosure does not replace those requirements.
These Terms were last updated and are effective as of November 5, 2026.
19. General
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and any order or pricing terms presented at checkout, are the entire agreement between you and Rainmaker LLC regarding the Service. They supersede prior or contemporaneous agreements on the same subject. If a provision is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the rest will remain in effect. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms without our consent; we may assign them in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of assets. There are no third-party beneficiaries except the indemnified parties in Section 15. Headings are for convenience only.
The Service is controlled from the United States. We make no representation that it is appropriate or available in every location.
