Terms of Service

1. The service

GoyMail provides email-related services (including web signup, account management, and optional mail client access), public IRC bridged to an external Telegram group, and public XMPP as described on this site. Features, limits, and availability may change. We do not guarantee uptime, delivery, or storage of any particular message.

IRC is public and privacy-focused on GoyMail's side (no intentional transcript or connect-IP logging), but other users may record messages and Telegram retains bridged copies under its own terms. Cross-service edits and deletions are not guaranteed.

2. Acceptable use

You must not use GoyMail to:

• Send spam, scams, malware, or unsolicited bulk mail.
• Harass, threaten, or impersonate others unlawfully.
• Abuse IRC registration, flooding, or the Telegram bridge.
• Violate applicable law in your jurisdiction or ours.
• Probe, overload, or circumvent technical limits or security controls without authorization.

We do not suspend or terminate accounts for breaking these rules, overdue payments, or ToS disputes. Your mailbox login and IMAP access are not seized as punishment.

Outbound SMTP starts locked. Unlock is a small payment (about $1 USD equivalent), not proof-of-work, as described on Contact & FAQ. Per-account outbound rate limits apply after unlock.

Spam, scams, and other abuse raise shared-IP costs (blocklists, bandwidth, reputation). The more garbage gets sent through the service, the more expensive unlock floors, plan prices, and free-tier send caps become for everyone. When abuse pressure rises we may keep SMTP locked, raise unlock or plan prices, or tighten per-account outbound limits; we do not lock you out of your account. See Abuse for reporting.

3. Accounts and access

You are responsible for keeping your credentials (including access tokens and app passwords) confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account. Outbound SMTP stays locked until payment unlock or a paid plan that includes sending, as described on Contact & FAQ.

New accounts are created only when the registration API receives a valid, server-issued consent token tied to your acceptance of these terms and the Privacy Policy.

4. Donations and payments

Voluntary donations do not create a contract for specific service levels. Donations and public accounting are described on Donate and Public accounting.

5. Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

6. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GoyMail operators and volunteers are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the service.

7. Changes

We may update these terms by posting a new version on this page. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
