Frequently Asked Questions
How many ecards can I send in a year?
You can send as many ecards as you like as long as it's within our acceptable use policy.
To know what acceptable use is, let's take the example of Jane who sends ten ecards to her friends almost every day. That's three or four thousand ecards every year. Jane is sending her ecards to people she knows, so that's is acceptable use.
On the other hand, Jack wants to send thousands of ecards every week to business prospects he doesn't know personally. That is not acceptable use.
If Jack wants to send ecards the customers he knows personally or to his friends and relatives, and he's not sending thousands of cards a week - that's acceptable use.
