These Terms of Service govern your use of Vanish ("Vanish", "we", "us", or "our"). By accessing or using Vanish, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree with these Terms, please do not use the service.
Vanish provides a simple interface for creating and accessing temporary email addresses. The underlying mailbox service is provided through third-party infrastructure and APIs, including Mail.tm.
1. The Vanish Service
Vanish allows users to create temporary email addresses and receive email through those addresses. Vanish is intended for short-lived, low-stakes communication and situations where a user does not wish to provide their primary email address.
Vanish does not guarantee that a temporary email address will remain available for any particular period of time or that every email sent to an address will be successfully delivered.
2. No Account Required
Vanish does not require users to create a traditional account or provide a password in order to generate a temporary email address.
Because temporary addresses are not intended to function as permanent accounts, you should not rely on a Vanish address as your sole method of accessing an important service or recovering an account.
3. Appropriate Use
You agree to use Vanish only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not interfere with the service, its infrastructure, other users, or third-party services.
You are responsible for all activity carried out using a temporary email address generated through Vanish.
4. Prohibited Uses
You must not use Vanish to facilitate, conduct, or support unlawful or abusive activity.
- Fraud, scams, phishing, or impersonation.
- Harassment, threats, stalking, or abuse.
- Distribution of malware or other malicious software.
- Unauthorised access to computer systems, accounts, or networks.
- Circumventing security controls or access restrictions.
- Spamming or distributing unsolicited bulk communications.
- Any activity that violates applicable laws or regulations.
- Any activity intended to disrupt, overload, or interfere with Vanish or its underlying infrastructure.
5. Third-Party Services
Vanish relies on third-party services and infrastructure to provide parts of its functionality. This includes the Mail.tm API and associated email infrastructure.
Third-party services may have their own terms, policies, availability requirements, and technical limitations. Vanish does not control third-party services and cannot guarantee their continued availability or operation.
6. Email Availability and Deletion
Temporary email addresses are not permanent mailboxes. An address may become unavailable, expire, be deleted, or otherwise cease to function without notice.
Emails received through a temporary address may also become inaccessible. You should therefore avoid using Vanish for information that you need to retain permanently.
7. Important Accounts and Sensitive Information
Vanish is not intended for banking, financial services, healthcare, government services, account recovery, password recovery, or other situations where permanent access to an email address is important.
You should not use a temporary email address as the sole recovery method for an important account.
8. Availability of the Service
Vanish is provided on an "as available" basis. We may modify, suspend, restrict, or discontinue any part of the service at any time.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted operation, specific delivery times, or that the service will be available at all times.
9. Disclaimer
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Vanish is provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. This includes warranties regarding availability, reliability, accuracy, suitability, or uninterrupted access to temporary email services.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, Vanish and its operators shall not be liable for losses arising from the use of, or inability to use, the service, including loss of access to temporary email addresses or messages.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability where such exclusion or limitation would be unlawful under applicable law.
11. Changes to the Service
We may update, modify, or discontinue features of Vanish at any time. We may also update these Terms when necessary to reflect changes to the service, legal requirements, or operational practices.
The latest version of these Terms will be published on this page.
12. Termination
We may restrict or terminate access to Vanish where reasonably necessary, including where we believe the service is being misused, abused, attacked, or used in violation of these Terms.
13. Privacy
Your use of Vanish is also subject to our Privacy Policy .
The Privacy Policy explains what information may be processed when you use Vanish and how advertising and cookies may operate on the website.
