What the service is
apumail provisions email addresses and phone numbers that programs can read and send from, over a REST API, MCP and mobile clients. It is a tool for developers and for the agents they run.
Your account
You are responsible for what happens under your tokens. Treat an inbox token or account API token as a password: anyone holding one can read that inbox and send as it. If a token leaks, revoke it — inbox tokens rotate from the dashboard, account tokens from Settings. You must be old enough to form a contract where you live.
What you may not do
- Send unsolicited bulk mail or SMS. apumail is for transactional and verification traffic; it is not a marketing platform.
- Send anything unlawful, fraudulent, or designed to deceive the recipient
about who sent it — including impersonating a person or an organisation.
(The
Fromaddress is forced to the authenticated inbox, so this is technically prevented as well as forbidden.) - Use an inbox to evade a ban, launder identity, or defeat a service's abuse controls.
- Distribute malware, phishing, or content that sexually exploits children.
- Attack the service — probe for vulnerabilities without telling us, work around rate limits, or try to reach another account's data.
- Resell raw inbox provisioning as a competing disposable-mail product. Building a product on top of apumail is fine and encouraged; reselling the primitive itself is not.
Accounts that break these rules get their send disabled or their inboxes removed, generally without notice, because the alternative is losing deliverability for everyone else.
Fair use and limits
Free inboxes are rate-limited on provisioning, on inbound mail per sending IP, and on outbound send. Paid inboxes get higher limits, not unlimited ones. We may adjust limits to keep the service healthy, and we will not do it silently for paid customers.
Paid plans
Paid handles, domain inboxes and phone numbers are billed annually and in advance, on-chain in USDC or $PROWL. Because settlement is on a public blockchain, payments are final: we cannot reverse a transaction. If something goes wrong on our side — you paid and the provisioning failed — write to support@apumail.com with the transaction signature and we will make it right. There is no automatic proration or refund for an inbox you stop using; when the paid year lapses the inbox is suspended, and after the grace period it is released and can be claimed by someone else.
What we don't promise
The service is provided as-is. We run a backup mail exchanger and take daily backups, but we do not promise a particular uptime, and we do not promise that any given message will arrive — mail delivery depends on the receiving server, which is not ours. Do not build something where a lost verification code is a catastrophe without a fallback. To the extent the law allows, our liability is limited to what you paid us in the preceding twelve months.
Ending it
You can delete any inbox, number or account at any time, from the API or the dashboard. We may suspend or terminate an account that breaks these terms, or discontinue the service — in which case we will give paid customers notice and a way to get their data out.
The rest
These terms are governed by the laws of Chile. If a clause turns out to be unenforceable, the others stand. We may update these terms; the date at the top moves when we do, and continuing to use the service means accepting the new version.
