I don't know why they ask for login credential of your aweber account. If you trust him personally then go with otherwise ignore it until you are fully satisfied with it.

  Yeh if you know what your doing in Aweber then you can make the changes yourself. Ask the CRO what they will be doing in there and maybe you could do it instead.

If you don't trust them, don't give access.

Yeah I'm not sure what he would need from Aweber...

Besides changing up a web form etc

Either way, my advice is what everyone else has already stated

They have to change forms and test conversion.They definitely have to have an access.They will make a full conversion test.

Yes, of course it is, in principle: they can back-up copies of all your lists and then spam them, or even sell them. (If that's the kind of thing they do!!).

You need legal advice, for that question, but possibly if you're dealing with someone who might steal your lists, that might not make a huge difference anyway, especially depending on their location? I don't know.

I would be asking Aweber for advice. That might help a lot: maybe there's something they can do to improve the security of your account while someone else accesses it? Hosting companies can ...

Yes it is very risky and you should ask him to sign a non-agreement.

What does it means Non Agreement?

I plan to ask him to sign this:

Is that OK?

This document seems to protects the information to be released with thirty parties.But does it means it protects me if he (for example) decide to steal my mail list and start sending them messages.I think this is the only one potential problem.And I don't think Aweber will help.They will just tell me to not give them access.
