1. Introduction
Welcome to Throwinbox, a privacy-focused temporary email service designed to help users protect their personal inboxes from spam, tracking, and unwanted exposure. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Throwinbox website, tools, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By accessing or using Throwinbox, you agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately. These Terms are written in a clear and human-friendly way so you understand your rights and responsibilities without needing legal expertise.
2. Eligibility and Legal Capacity
To use Throwinbox, you must be at least 18 years old or meet the minimum legal age required in your country to enter into a binding agreement. By using the Service, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If you are accessing Throwinbox on behalf of a business, organization, or other legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms. If you do not have such authority, you must not use the Service on their behalf.
3. Description of the Service
Throwinbox provides disposable email addresses, temporary inboxes, and optional email forwarding features designed to enhance user privacy. The Service allows users to receive emails without exposing their primary email address. Messages received through Throwinbox may be automatically deleted after a short period, such as 10 minutes, depending on system configuration. The Service is offered for convenience and privacy purposes, but it is not intended for long-term storage, business-critical communication, or guaranteed delivery.
4. Account Registration and Responsibilities
Some features may require account creation. When registering, you agree to provide accurate and current information. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities conducted under your account. If you suspect unauthorized access, you must notify Throwinbox immediately. We are not responsible for any loss resulting from unauthorized access due to your failure to safeguard your credentials.
5. Acceptable Use Policy
You agree to use Throwinbox responsibly and lawfully. You must not use the Service to send, receive, store, or facilitate any illegal, harmful, or abusive content. This includes, but is not limited to, phishing, spamming, harassment, distributing malware, fraud, or violating intellectual property rights. You also agree not to attempt to disrupt or overload the Service through automated systems, bots, or abusive traffic. Throwinbox reserves the right to suspend or permanently ban users who violate these rules.
6. Temporary Nature of Emails
Throwinbox is built around temporary communication. Emails are automatically deleted after a short retention period, and users should not rely on the Service for storing important or sensitive data. You are responsible for saving any information you wish to keep before it is deleted. Throwinbox does not guarantee that emails will be delivered, stored, or accessible at any given time.
7. Privacy and Data Protection
We take privacy seriously. Throwinbox minimizes data collection and only processes information necessary to operate the Service. By using Throwinbox, you agree to our data practices as described in our Privacy Policy. We comply with applicable laws such as the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) for users in the European Union and the California Consumer Privacy Act (CCPA) where applicable. Users have the right to access, modify, or request deletion of their personal data where legally required.
8. Cookies and Tracking Technologies
Throwinbox may use minimal cookies or similar technologies to improve functionality, security, and user experience. These cookies are not used for invasive tracking but may include session management or basic analytics. By using the Service, you consent to the use of such technologies. You can control cookies through your browser settings.

You may not copy, modify, distribute, or reverse-engineer any part of the Service without prior written permission.
10. User Content and Responsibility
You retain ownership of any content you receive through Throwinbox. However, you grant Throwinbox a limited license to process and transmit that content solely to provide the Service. You are fully responsible for any content you interact with, including ensuring it complies with applicable laws. Throwinbox does not actively monitor all content but reserves the right to investigate misuse.
11. Third-Party Services and Links

12. Service Availability and Reliability
We aim to keep Throwinbox available and reliable, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service. Downtime may occur due to maintenance, updates, or technical issues. Throwinbox is not liable for any inconvenience, data loss, or missed communications resulting from service interruptions.
13. Anti-Abuse and Security Measures
To protect the platform, Throwinbox may implement automated systems to detect and prevent abuse. This includes rate limiting, IP blocking, and filtering suspicious activity. Users attempting to bypass these protections may be permanently restricted. These measures are essential to maintain a safe environment for all users.
14. Termination of Service
Throwinbox reserves the right to suspend or terminate access at any time without prior notice if a user violates these Terms or engages in harmful behavior. Upon termination, access to temporary emails and associated data will be revoked immediately.
15. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. Throwinbox makes no guarantees regarding reliability, accuracy, or fitness for a particular purpose. Use of the Service is at your own risk. We do not guarantee that the Service will meet your expectations or operate without errors.
16. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Throwinbox shall not be liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, including loss of data, revenue, or business opportunities. This limitation applies even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Throwinbox, its team, and affiliates from any claims, damages, or expenses arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.
18. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
In the event of a dispute, both parties agree to attempt resolution through informal negotiation first. If unresolved, disputes may be handled through binding arbitration where permitted by law. This approach helps resolve issues efficiently without lengthy court proceedings.
