Terms of Service

By creating an account, calling the API, or otherwise using Email Risk Radar, you agree to these terms. If you're using the service on behalf of an organization, you're confirming you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.

Email Risk Radar is intended for business and developer use. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction if higher, and able to enter into a binding contract, to create an account. This service is not directed at, marketed to, or intended for use by children — see the Children's Privacy section of the Privacy Policy for how this applies under COPPA (US) and the GDPR (UK/EEA). If you're using the service on behalf of an organization, you're additionally confirming you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.

Email Risk Radar evaluates email addresses for syntax, domain, and deliverability signals, and returns a risk score with supporting signals. Results are probabilistic risk signals derived from the evidence available at the time of the check — they are not a guarantee that any address is genuine, fraudulent, deliverable, or undeliverable. You are responsible for how you act on the results (approving, rejecting, or flagging a signup, lead, or transaction).

• You're responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys
• You're responsible for all activity that occurs under your API keys, whether or not authorized by you, until you revoke a compromised key
• Notify us promptly at support@emailriskradar.com if you believe a key has been compromised
• You must provide accurate account information and keep it up to date

You agree not to:

• Use the service for any unlawful purpose, or to facilitate spam, phishing, or harassment
• Submit email addresses you don't have a legitimate basis to process (for example, lists obtained without appropriate consent under applicable law)
• Attempt to bypass rate limits, quotas, or the anti-abuse controls on the free public demo — including scripting around the demo's token issuance or calling internal endpoints directly to obtain checks outside your plan
• Reverse-engineer, scrape, or attempt to extract the underlying scoring methodology beyond what's documented publicly
• Resell or sublicense API access as a competing product without our prior written permission
• Use SMTP verification ("full" mode) to intentionally overload or attack a third-party mail server

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate this section.

You retain all rights to the email addresses and lists you submit. You grant us a limited license to process that data solely to provide the service to you (as described in the Privacy Policy). You represent that you have the right to submit the data you send us.

[VERIFY] Confirm final pricing, currency, and refund policy before publishing this section.

• Subscription plans renew monthly and are billed in advance via Stripe
• Usage beyond your plan's monthly quota may incur overage charges, where your plan supports it, at the rate shown on the pricing page at the time of use
• The one-time bulk pass is a single, non-recurring purchase valid for the stated number of checks and time window from purchase
• Fees are non-refundable except where required by law or explicitly stated otherwise
• We may change pricing on a going-forward basis with reasonable notice; changes won't apply retroactively to a billing period already paid for

We aim for high availability but don't guarantee the service will be uninterrupted or error-free. [VERIFY] Add a specific SLA and any service-credit terms here if you intend to offer one. Scheduled maintenance and third-party dependency outages (DNS resolvers, RDAP registries, Stripe, or a target mail server being unreachable) can affect specific requests or result quality.

[VERIFY — standard disclaimer language, confirm with counsel] The service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose. We do not warrant that any specific result (allow/review/block, or any individual signal) is accurate for every address in every case — see "What the service does" above.

[VERIFY — jurisdiction-specific, confirm with counsel before publishing] To the maximum extent permitted by law, Email Risk Radar and its operators are not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the service, including decisions made based on a risk score or verification result (for example, a signup incorrectly allowed or blocked).

You may stop using the service and close your account at any time by contacting support. We may suspend or terminate access for violation of the Acceptable Use section, non-payment, or where required by law, with notice where practical.

We may update these terms as the product changes. Material changes will be reflected by updating the effective date above; continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.

[VERIFY] Specify the governing jurisdiction and venue once your entity is registered.
