LETTERSTREAM is a Tool for Printing & Mailing Documents: You are solely responsible for and assume all liability arising from all data and documents that you and any other person using your User ID and password process using the LETTERSTREAM website. If you or a third party notifies us of a problem document, or if we become aware of a problem document created by you, we may review the document and take any action with respect to the document that we deem necessary in our sole discretion, including, but not limited to, refusing to mail the document. The fact that we may review a document and allow the document to be mailed does not mean that: (1) we approve or endorse the content of the document, (2) the document complies with all applicable laws, or (3) you will not incur any liability or harm arising from the document.

Customer is Responsible For Delivering Data: LETTERSTREAM’s customers are solely responsible for determining what customers are to receive mailings and for extracting that data from their system and delivering that data in the proper format. LETTERSTREAM customers are solely responsible for determining the timing of data file delivery to LETTERSTREAM.

Data Processing Parameters: LETTERSTREAM promises to process on demand, all data received via its website upload process within its process guarantee time frame – listed on the service invoice and on the pricing agreement. All data that LETTERSTREAM receives is rendered into a “PDF” file and then delivered via the “delivery method” that is setup on the LETTERSTREAM.com website (see the LETTERSTREAM.com website for a full description of available delivery methods).

Data Processing Checks & Balances Process: To insure that 100% of the data received is completely and properly processed, LETTERSTREAM employs multiple checks and balances in its processing methodology. After file upload, the LETTERSTREAM upload process displays a preliminary record count to the customer that serves to insure that the file is complete (customer is to compare this record count with their “expected” record count). In addition, this process checks for an “end of file” marker, checks for data continuity and checks for the correct number of fields in each records. Notwithstanding the normal checking process employed by LETTERSTREAM, the customer is required to validate the quantity of records and review an appropriate quantity of document records for accuracy and completeness. Once the customer has reviewed and approved the data and document records and clicks “confirm” LETTERSTREAM will begin processing, printing and/or mailing as agreed upon for the specific mailing job being uploaded. After processing is complete, LETTERSTREAM delivers a service invoice that indicates final processing counts reflecting configuration of the delivery methods setup for each document and the nature of the document and processes thereto.

LETTERSTREAM will automatically print your return address, as provided by you, on every document that you create.
