You do, however, agree that Zoji may monitor, edit or disclose your personal information, including the content of your emails, if required to do so in order to comply with any valid legal process or governmental request (such as a search warrant, subpoena, statute, or court order), or as otherwise provided in these Terms of Use and the Zoji Privacy Policy. Personal information collected by Zoji may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Zoji Inc. or its agents maintain facilities. By using Zoji, you consent to any such transfer of information outside of your country.

Zoji may serve relevant ads using a completely automated process that enables Zoji to effectively target dynamically changing content you submit. No human will read the content of your email in order to target such advertisements or other information without your consent, and no email content or other personally identifiable information will be provided to advertisers as part of the Service.
- Account Inactivity. After a period of inactivity, Zoji reserves the right to disable or terminate a user's account. If an account has been deactivated for inactivity, the email address associated with that account may be given to another user without notice to you or such other party. For more information on how Zoji deals with account inactivity, please consult the Program Policies.
- Termination; Cancellation. You may cancel your use of the Services and/or terminate this Agreement with or without cause at any time by going to your Account Settings and clicking "Deactivate My Account" at the bottom of the page; however, a terminated account may continue to exist for up to two business days before such cancellation takes effect. Zoji may at any time and for any reason terminate the Services, terminate this Agreement, or suspend or terminate your account. In the event of termination, your account will be disabled and you may not be granted access to your account or any files or other content contained in your account although residual copies of information may remain in our system. Except as set forth above or unless Zoji has previously canceled or terminated your use of the Services (in which case subsequent notice by Zoji shall not be required), if you have provided an alternate email address, Zoji will notify you via email of any such termination or cancellation, which shall be effective immediately upon Zoji's delivery of such notice.

In such a case, Zoji will provide you with written notice of such claim, suit or action.
