Important update to our terms of service and account deletion policy

We like you to take notice of an important update to our Terms of Service, specifically regarding our account deletion policy.

Key Update: Our updated Terms of Service clarify that account deletion requests will only be processed if all outstanding snail mail swap obligations between Snail Mail Friends members have been fulfilled. This update is vital to ensuring that all members honor their commitments, which is the foundation of trust in our community.

Why this update?: Recently, we’ve received requests for manual account deletion due to unresolved swaps, which prevent account closure through our standard process. When you attempt to close your account, the Snail Mail Friends website will alert you to any pending swaps that must be resolved or completed. This system ensures that all swaps are finalized before an account can be closed.

Despite this safeguard, some members have attempted to bypass the resolution process by requesting manual deletion while still having open swaps. We want to be clear: we will not comply with any deletion requests that bypass these unresolved obligations. All pending swaps must be completed before account closure can proceed.

Why this matters: As a fellow snailmailer, imagine if your swap partner left the community without fulfilling their obligations on a swap you worked hard on, or if you were unable to rate and give feedback on the experience. This policy is in place to protect all members and ensure fairness in our exchanges.

What happens next? If you have pending swaps and wish to close your account, please resolve them first. We are here to assist with any disputes or difficulties you may encounter in fulfilling these obligations.

We encourage you to review the updated Terms of Service. By continuing to use our services, you agree to these updated terms.

If you have any questions or need assistance, please feel free to reach out to us through our Contact form.
