Terms & Conditions

Digital Business Concepts Inc., doing business as Freedom Mailbox ("Freedom Mailbox", "DBC", "DBC Inc", "We" or "us"), is a US Domestic Corporation that is licensed to use and to sub-license use of an Internet site ("Site") that provides mail forwarding, mail scanning, check deposit, and mail management services ("Services" or "Virtual Mailbox") to commercial and residential registered users and authorized co-users ("Customer"). By using the Services, you are entering into an agreement with Freedom Mailbox for use of the Services ("Agreement") on the terms and conditions set forth herein ("Terms") and governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of California.

1. Customer agrees that Customer will not use the Virtual Mailbox or any Freedom Mailbox services for any unlawful, illegitimate or fraudulent purpose or for any purpose prohibited by U.S. Postal regulations. Customer further agrees that any use of the Virtual Mailbox shall be in conformity with all applicable federal, state and local laws. Customer also agrees not to misrepresent the Virtual Mailbox address as the physical location of the Customer's residence or business, including but not limited to, address verification services. Each individual or entity must complete a separate U.S. Postal Service Form 1583 ("Form 1583") to be authorized to receive mail or packages at the Virtual Mailbox. However, spouses may complete one Form 1583, as long as both spouses include their separate information on the Form.

2. This Agreement and Form 1583 shall remain confidential, except that this Agreement and Form 1583 may be disclosed upon written request of any law enforcement or other governmental agency, or when legally mandated. Upon request, Customer agrees to complete all necessary documents, including Form 1583 and any required acknowledgment form relating to service of process. Customer further agrees to sign an updated version of this Agreement and Form 1583 upon request.

3. Possession of the Virtual Mailbox username and password shall be considered valid evidence that the possessor is duly authorized to remove any contents from the Virtual Mailbox. In the event of death or incapacity of the Customer, Freedom Mailbox will require the appropriate documents from the Probate Court, the executor of the estate, the trustee or other similar person or entity before releasing mail or packages to a requesting party.

4. Customer agrees to pay applicable monthly service fees. The monthly service fee is not refundable upon expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement. Virtual Mailbox service fees are all due and payable in advance and Customer agrees that Freedom Mailbox may hold mail and packages pending payment. There will be no pro-rations or refunds for cancellation of any service. Customer agrees to pay a late fee of $25.00 if any payment is not received within five (5) days of when due. Virtual Mailbox service fees and other related fees stated herein are subject to change. In the event that Customer receives an unreasonable volume of mail or packages at the Virtual Mailbox according to the Freedom Mailbox's reasonable judgment, Freedom Mailbox may require the Customer to upgrade to a larger plan and/or pay any additional charges. Freedom Mailbox reserves the right to increase the Virtual Mailbox service fees in the event that Customer adds additional individuals or entities to the names of those individuals or entities authorized to receive mail and packages at the Virtual Mailbox pursuant to Form 1583.

5. Customer agrees to a 90-day provisional period, starting from the date in which the Virtual Mailbox service is activated, in an effort to allow Freedom Mailbox staff time to determine Customer's mail usage. In the event that Customer receives mail or packages at the Virtual Mailbox that demonstrates, according to the reasonable judgment of Freedom Mailbox mail handling staff, that the Virtual Mailbox is being used for the primary purpose of business verification or for any reason stated in Section 1 above, Freedom Mailbox reserves the right to deny any open and scan or mail forwarding requests for such mail items until Freedom Mailbox can investigate further.

6. Upon expiration, cancellation or termination of this Agreement, Freedom Mailbox provides two options for managing any mail received after expiration, cancellation or termination. If Customer fails to select either option prior to cancellation, then option two (2) is default and option one (1) becomes void. Local pickup of mail is not available.
