Fees for accreditation are non-refundable, whether or not your application is approved and regardless of the reasons for denial or approval. Once you have provided all required information and payment for accreditation has been received by Goodmail, Goodmail or one of its authorized parters will process your accreditation application.

Goodmail reserves the unconditional right to revoke or terminate the accreditation of your domain for inclusion on the CeD List at any time for your failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement, your failure to pay additional fees assessed by Goodmail for continued accreditation, expiration of the term of your accreditation without renewal, or Goodmail’s determination that your domain no longer meets the then-current criteria for inclusion on the CeD List as determined by Goodmail in its sole and absolute discretion. No refund will be provided for early termination of your accreditation, regardless of the reason for termination. All determinations made by Goodmail with respect to your accreditation or otherwise hereunder are final and are not subject to appeal.
