Using KilgoreTM
These terms apply to the KilgoreTM temporary-email service provided as a KilgoreProject product. By using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the service.
You must be legally able to use the service and accept these terms under the rules that apply to you. If you use it for an organisation, you must have authority to do so.
The current interface lets you request temporary email addresses, retrieve incoming messages and download supported attachments. It does not let you send or reply to email, establish a permanent account, or claim ownership of an underlying mailbox.
What temporary mail does not promise
- No mailbox confidentiality: addresses are not protected by an account password. Other people who know an address may be able to read its mail.
- No delivery guarantee: messages may be delayed, rejected, missing or unavailable. Other websites may refuse disposable addresses.
- No permanent access: addresses may stop working or be reused. We do not guarantee unique allocation, a fixed lifetime, recovery or continued availability.
- Local organisation only: read flags, Archive, Spam, Trash, categories, labels, snoozing and rules change this browser’s view. They do not move or delete external mail, report a sender or hold delivery. Moving to Spam is not a report to any provider. Forgetting an address only clears local app state.
- Automatic grouping can be wrong: categories are suggested by your rules and by local wording signals. KilgoreTM explains its reasoning and lets you correct it, but it makes no accuracy claim.
- No malware guarantee: text rendering reduces active-content risks, but links and attachments can still be dangerous. Downloads are not scanned for malware.
Do not use the service for banking, government services, health records, legal notices, identity verification, password recovery for important accounts, or information you need to keep private or retain.
Acceptable use
You may use KilgoreTM for lawful, short-lived email needs, including testing mail flows you control. You remain responsible for following the rules of other services you use.
You must not use the service to:
- Commit fraud, impersonate someone, obtain unauthorised access, steal credentials, or intercept mail that you are not entitled to access.
- Send or distribute spam, malware, phishing content, harassment or unlawful material.
- Evade legal requirements, eligibility rules, another service’s restrictions, or enforcement decisions.
- Overload the service, bypass limits or access controls, or automate abusive bulk requests.
- Probe or disrupt systems beyond a reasonable, authorised security investigation. Follow the reporting guidance for security concerns.
We may restrict requests or suspend access when needed to protect the service, address abuse, comply with applicable law or maintain availability. Rate limits and fair-use controls may change. Do not bypass a displayed cooldown.
Messages, links & intellectual property
You are responsible for deciding whether to open links or download files. Sender names, message contents and destination links are not endorsements by KilgoreTM. Messages are retrieved from external email infrastructure and may not be authentic or complete.
You retain any rights you have in your own content. Using the service permits the processing needed to retrieve and display the mail you request; it does not give you ownership of the service or anyone else’s mailbox or content.
Monitoring depends on the shared limit: automatic checking runs only while a KilgoreTM tab is open and visible, and it consumes the same shared request budget as manual checks. KilgoreTM does not promise mail delivery once every tab is closed.
The KilgoreTM name, visual identity and application remain protected by applicable intellectual-property rules. Access to the service does not grant a licence to redistribute its source code or branding. Third-party font rights remain with their respective owners.
The Privacy policy explains how the application handles information. External sites and services have their own terms and practices.
Availability, warranties & responsibility
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, to the extent allowed by applicable law. We do not promise uninterrupted operation, a particular delivery rate, fitness for a particular purpose, or that every security risk will be prevented.
To the extent permitted by law, KilgoreTM is not responsible for losses arising from missing or exposed mail, expired addresses, third-party actions, unsafe downloads, or your use of the service outside its intended temporary purpose. Use a permanent, authenticated email service for consequential communications.
Nothing in these terms excludes liability, remedies or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded. Applicable law may give you rights that take precedence over these terms. These terms do not impose mandatory arbitration.
Changes & contact
Features, limits and availability may change or be discontinued. Changes to these terms will be published on this page with a revised effective date. Review the current terms before using the service; if you no longer agree, stop using it.
If one part of these terms cannot be enforced, the remaining parts continue to apply to the extent allowed by law.
