If so, please use your personal address instead for those letters to avoid your mail potentially being rejected. Jmail is not responsible for rejected mail due to 3rd party violations as it is your responsibility to follow the rules of the prison to which you are sending correspondence.

Jmail will save all letters and attachments for you in your inbox, outbox and your drafts box for 3 years. Due to storage limitations we cannot save files indefinitely. At the beginning of each year, Jmail will delete all files that are over 3 years old from our server, so we strongly recommend you download any letters, photos, or pdf file attachments from your account within that 3 year period.


Physical Mail Storage - Jmail Box & Ship

Mail will only be held for the duration of your Jmail Box & Ship subscription. You must request your mail be shipped by the end of your subscription. You can request your mail to be shipped to you by going to the Premium tab and selecting Jmail Box & Ship from the dropdown menu. Jmail will not continue to hold your mail without a valid Jmail Box & Ship subscription so it is important to make your shipping request while your subscription is active.

No mail will be held longer than 1 year regardless of subscription length or continuing to renew your subscription.

Sensitive and private data exchange happens over a SSL secured communication channel and is encrypted and protected with digital signatures, and our Website is also in compliance with PCI vulnerability standards in order to create as secure of an environment as possible for Users. Scans for malware are performed on a regular basis for additional security and protection.

We reserve the right to change products and product pricing at any time. We also reserve the right to refuse any order you place with us. We may, in our sole discretion, limit or cancel quantities purchased per person, per household or per order. These restrictions may include orders placed by or under the same customer account, the same credit card, and/or orders that use the same billing and/or shipping address. In the event that we make a change to or cancel an order, we may attempt to notify you by contacting the e-mail and/or billing address/phone number provided at the time the order was made.

Unused Credits Expire after 1 year

If you purchase credits from Jmail you must use them within 1-year of the purchase date or they will expire. There is an exception to this rule however; Jmail has set up this system to update your credit expiration date each time you buy new credits. So for example: if you purchase X number of credits on January 1, 2019, any unused credits would expire on January 1, 2020.

HOWEVER

If you purchase X number credits on January 1, 2019 and then purchase more credits on July 1, 2019, your credit expiration for ANY and ALL credits in your account would change to July 1, 2020 (extending your expiration date). So those credits you purchased on January 1, 2019, and any credits you already may have had in your account, would extend now to a July 1, 2020 expiration. Your Credit Expiration date will be clearly listed on your homepage in your Add Credits box so you will always know when your credits expire.
