To use the ZipMeeting.com Website, you can either create a Free Trial Account or complete an order to purchase a regular Customer Account. To open a Free Trial Account or a regular Customer Account, you will need to create a password-protected account with us. In doing so, we require that you provide us with some or all of the following Personal Customer Information: your name, email address, billing address, and credit card information. Additionally, as you setup meetings with your ZipMeeting.com Free Trial Account or with a regular Customer Account, you must enter the names and e-mail addresses of meeting invitees; these names and e-mail addresses will be stored in your Account Address Book. We use industry standard e-commerce security technology and restricted-access servers to protect the Personal Customer Information that you transmit to us when you establish your account and each time you access your account information. We do not store credit card numbers. [See Security] When setting up the account, we issue you a new password which you can later change by clicking the "Manage Account" link inside your Free Trial Account or regular Customer Account. When you want to setup Meetings, make a purchase, or change your stored Personal Customer Information, we approve your access by verifying your Login ID with your password.

Security Policy

Protecting your information.

The Personal Customer Information you provide — including your credit card information — to establish an account with us and to make purchases from us is secured using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) encryption technology. We use this SSL technology to prevent such information from being intercepted and read as it is transmitted over the Internet. The encrypted data goes to a secure site where your information is processed on restricted-access computers located at restricted-access sites.

Password security.

To further secure your Personal Customer Information, we create a customer password for you when you establish an account with us, however you may change this password at a later date. If you choose to change your password, we encourage you to use a password that is not easily guessed (i.e., don't use your name or street name). Keep your password secret; do not share it with anyone. The only way you can place an order with us online is by entering your Login ID and password.

If you forget your password, you can contact Customer Support and they will send you a new password. It will be sent to the email address under which your ZipMeeting.com Website Account is registered. If you want to change your password, simply click on "Manage Account," then click on "change" next to the word "Password", the follow the instructions for changing passwords.

Remember to sign out.

To further prevent unauthorized access to your account, remember that, after you sign in, you should sign out once you have (i) completed a transaction, (ii) completed managing your meetings, or (iii) decided to step away from your computer. Anyone who accesses your computer after you have signed in but before you have signed out can access your account.

Alternative customer purchasing options.

If you do not feel comfortable sending your credit card information to our payment processor over the Internet, you still can setup an account with us. We welcome you to call us to complete your purchase by phone.
