Parents wishing to allow their children access to the Services must help them set up their account, monitor their access to the Services and determine, as legal representatives, the Services and content they deem appropriate for them. By allowing their child to access the Services, parents acknowledge and agree that these Services may include electronic messaging, community and social networking services.

1.1.4. Account termination

1.1.4.1. Finality of any termination

Any termination of an account triggers its deletion as well as the removal its content and, if applicable, the associated Mailo e-mail address and aliases attached to it. It is therefore strongly advised that Users regularly back up their user data on a separate support.
Still active packs and unused pre-paid services at the time of termination are lost and will under no circumstances be reimbursed by the Publisher. The User gives explicitly up engaging the responsibility of the Publisher in case of termination of his/her account.

1.1.4.2. Termination by User

The User can close his/her account if he/she wants. All data is then deleted permanently.
Subject to availability, an account deleted by the User can be recreated by himself or by another User, but without the possibility of recovery of the previous content.

1.1.4.3. Termination based on inactivity

In case of non-connection (via the web or a synchronization protocol) to a free account for more than one year (365 days), the latter will be deleted.
However, no Premium account or formerly Premium account will be deleted.
Subject to availability, an account deleted because of inactivity can be recreated by the User but without possibility of recovery of the previous content.

1.1.4.4. Termination by violation of the Terms of Use

The Publisher reserves the right, without formalities and in its full right, to terminate the agreement to use the Services and destroy the User's Account without compensation, for violation of any provision of these Terms of Use.

The Publisher reserves the right to ask for any other document useful for the verification of the quality of the right holder.
The Publisher will proceed to the definitive deletion of the Account once the request for termination or transmission is made in the terms and conditions above.
The Publisher's responsibility can not be retained if, on the day of the claimant's request, the content is no longer accessible due to the inactivity of the Account for more than one year.

1.2. E-mail service

The e-mail service allows the User to send and receive e-mail over the Internet, using the e-mail address, which is dedicated to him. The User has a mailbox in which he/she can keep the messages received, sent and draft messages.
The User can use the IMAP4 protocol to synchronize his/her Mailo mailboxes with an e-mail or smartphone software. Sending messages is possible via an SMTP relay using the User credentials. The POP3 protocol is reserved for Premium Users.

1.2.1. Mailbox storage capacity

The mailbox has a maximum size of 1 GB that can be increased to 20 GB or more, up to 500 GB, by subscribing to a paid pack. When the maximum size of the mailbox is reached, it is no longer possible to store messages and new e-mails are rejected. In this case, the sender receives a notification of non-receipt. To avoid this situation, it is the responsibility of the User to increase the maximum capacity and/or to regularly delete messages and attachments received. The Publisher cannot be held responsible for the consequences due to the saturation of a mailbox.

1.2.2. E-mail atachments and link files

When sending an e-mail, the maximum total size of e-mail attachments is limited to 25 MB. This limit can be increased to 50MB by subscribing to a paid pack.
However it is possible to send larger files as links: a link is then added to the message, which allows the recipient to download the files. Downloading is available for 30 days. The maximum size of files sent per link is 500 MB and can be expanded to 1GB by subscribing to the Premium version.

1.2.3. Sending registered e-mails

The User can send a recommended e-mail. The message is then stored in its mailbox and a notification message, containing a link to access the message, is sent to the recipient(s).
The User can at any time consult the registered messages he/she sent and know whether the recipients have read the message and, if so, when. The user can protect each registered message by a password. In this case, the recipient can only read the message if he/she knows the password.
Warning: this password should not be identical to the one chosen by the User as identifier.

1.3. Address book

The address book service allows the User to keep his/her contacts on Mailo: name, e-mail adresses, phone numbers, mail addresses, a picture and many other pieces of information.
Mailo supports different synchronization protocols allowing the User to synchronize the adress book on Mailo with his/her smartphone.

1.4. Calendar

The calendar service allows the User to manage his/her schedule in a calendar kept on Mailo and accessible from anywhere on the Internet. The User can store events, tasks or simple reminders with his/her Mailo account.
Mailo supports different synchronization protocols allowing the User to synchronize the calendar stored on Mailo with his/her smartphone.

1.5. Documents storage

The virtual disk service allows the User to store on Mailo all types of documents. They are therefore accessible from anywhere on the Internet. It is possible to store in the virtual disk attachments received by e-mail or documents from a computer hard drive.
The virtual disk has a maximum size of 500 MB that can be increased by subscribing to a paid pack. When the maximum virtual disk size is reached, it is no longer possible to store new files in the virtual disk.
Users can access documents in the virtual disk on WebDAV or FTP.

1.6. Mailo spaces

Each User can freely create one or several Mailo Family, Mailo Pro or Mailo Edu spaces, of which he/she is then automatically administrator. He/she has the possibility of appointing other administrators. The Mailo spaces offer various services, among which the main ones are described thereafter:

1.6.1. Creating accounts

The administrator of a Mailo space (hereinafter referred as "Administrator") can create as many accounts as he/she wishes for members of his/her family or organization. He/she also can connect existing accounts. In some configurations, the Administrator may be able to access the accounts (including their aliases and passwords) of the Users thus created and/or delete them.

1.6.2. Creating secure children accounts

The Administrator of a Mailo Family space can create as many secure Children accounts as it wishes. These accounts are named "Mailo Junior accounts".
Mailo Junior accounts can only receive e-mails from senders validated in their address book. Similarly, Mailo Junior accounts can only send e-mails from webmail to validate contacts in their address book. Mailo Junior accounts can add contacts to their address book. In this case, a notification is sent to the contact e-mail address of the Mailo Family space to request validation of the contact.
Two interfaces adapted to the children are available: 6 to 9 years and 10 to 14 years. When the parent User wishes it, the Mailo Junior account can be reconfigured into a standard Mailo account, without child security.

1.6.3. Chat

Users who are members of the same Mailo space can use an instant messaging service, called "Chat", and chat with each other live. To enable the use of the service, the Publisher allows to share the User's connection status (offline or online) with his/her contacts.

1.6.4. Web hosting

The Administrator may create and host one or more websites on Mailo.
He/she can create a website from a domain name purchased on Mailo or from an external domain name which he/she owns.
The website supports PHP technology to make dynamic pages. A MySQL database is made available to the User, in which the latter can create tables and records.
