Snail Mail
Service Level Agreement or “our promise” to users of the “Snail Mail” service offered within the PlanetSoho service.
Our Promise to Our Members The Snail Mail service offered by PlanetSoho is an exciting addition to the invoicing features. It is available to all PlanetSoho members. Snail Mail is an important service option because in the United States, over 25 percent of all payments are made by check. In some industry categories the percentage is much higher—as much as 80 percent of end customers prefer their service provider to “bill me and I’ll send a check in the mail.”
Recognizing this, PlanetSoho responded with the new Snail Mail option for our members. This gives our members an additional way to send invoices without the hassle of doing the busywork of printing the invoice, stuffing and addressing an envelope, getting the right postage, including a reply envelope, and bringing it to the post office or mailbox.
All members need to do is press a single button, and the rest is taken care of by PlanetSoho. Now even SOHO businesses can benefit from an outsourced “accounts receivable” billing clerk.
The results:
- Our members’ customers get to pay their way.
- Our members save time, money, and hassle.
- Our members get paid faster.
Priceless!
Our Responsibilities
What our members can expect:
Our members can expect that within one day of submission (sometimes the same day), their invoice, along with a return envelope, will be sent by United States Postal Service (USPS) First Class mail to their end-user customer. We cannot control anything beyond the mailing of the invoice or bill.
Our Members’ Responsibilities
- Our members are responsible for ensuring that the address of their end-user customers is accurate.
- Our members must create a complete invoice.
- Our members must have a deliverable return address on their invoice.
Deliverability and Responsibility
As previously stated, our members are responsible (as billers) for entering accurate information in these invoices (customer name and address, their (biller) name and address, etc.).
As in any USPS correspondence, our customers must be aware that incoming mail may be opened by anyone at the recipient address. We cannot be responsible for monitoring or controlling how the mail is opened at the address inserted by our customers for their invoice/billing purposes.
It is our members' responsibility to follow up on this bill and ensure that their customer receives it. PlanetSoho is not responsible for any unpaid or unbilled accounts as a result of clamed non-receipt of these mailed bills. PlanetSoho will, on request, send a second printed bill if the first one was not received as a result of our error. A customer-entered address that is undeliverable or other incorrectly entered invoice data is not a system error.
No Representation, No Agency
PlanetSoho is not acting as an agent to collect a bill. Sending a printed invoice as a bill is an administrative accommodation to our members. Our members remain 100 percent responsible for collecting their amounts due and for any follow-up and communications regarding their invoices. Our customers may not use the PlanetSoho corporate office address as a “reply to” mailing address.
Privacy
As in all customer communications and system messages, the Snail Mail service conforms to the PlanetSoho privacy policy.
To the extent that we may engage third-party vendors for all or part of this service, they are legally bound to conform to our privacy policy.
As stated previously, PlanetSoho is not responsible for billing errors or mistakes in delivery address made by our members in their billing information. In addition, USPS mail may be opened by anyone at the recipient address, and PlanetSoho does not control who opens these bills at the given address.

20. CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
20.1. In the United States, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the DMCA) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. Other protections for copyright owners are available in other jurisdictions. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Website infringe Your copyright, You (or Your agent) may send PlanetSoho a notice requesting PlanetSoho to remove the material or disable access to it. If You believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against You, please send PlanetSoho a counter-notice. In the United States, notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://www.copyright.gov for details). In addition, notices should include: Your contact details, the full bibliographic details of the material, the exact and full URL where You found the material, proof that You are the rights holder and a statement that, under penalty of perjury, You are the rights holder or are an authorized representative.
