1. What this policy covers
This policy applies to every free checker, lookup, scanner, generator and downloadable report on emailauth.io that you can use without an account (the free tools). By using a free tool, you accept this policy and any note shown alongside that tool. If you do not accept it, please do not use the free tools.
2. Fair use
You may use the free tools for work, learning or evaluation: to check your own domains, domains you look after for a client with their permission, or records that are publicly published. Use must be lawful and reasonable, and we may set limits on how often or how much the tools are used to keep them fast and safe for everyone.
3. What is not allowed
- Any unlawful, abusive or harmful use of the tools or their results.
- Running the tools through bots, scripts, crawlers or browser automation, or collecting their results in bulk, without our written permission.
- Trying to work out how our scoring, rules or methods work by reverse engineering, test inputs or analysing outputs.
- Using the tools or their results to benchmark us or to build, train, test or market a competing product.
- Disrupting the tools or getting around rate limits, access controls or other protections.
4. No reselling
You may not resell, license, white-label, embed, mirror or publish the free tools or their results as part of a product, service, dataset or paid report, or use them to run a managed service for others, unless we agree in writing.
5. Ownership
EmailAuth owns the free tools, the reports they produce and the methods behind them. You keep ownership of what you enter, and you allow us to process, store and use it to run, protect and improve our tools and services. Using the tools gives you a limited, personal right to use them as this policy allows, which we may withdraw.
6. What we record and why
When you use a free tool we record the domain or record you check, the results, the page you used, your IP address, approximate location and network, browser and device details, and the time. We use this to provide and secure the tools, spot misuse, enforce this policy, improve our products and meet legal duties. We may also use the domains you check to contact you or the domain's organisation with help or an offer relating to them. Details are in our Privacy Policy. Please do not enter confidential or personal information unless a tool asks for it and you are allowed to share it.
7. Accounts
Most free tools need no account today. We may later ask for an account, a verified email or acceptance of extra terms for some tools.
8. Limiting or ending access
We may slow, limit, block or end access to any free tool if we reasonably believe this policy has been broken or the use creates legal, security or operational risk. We may use rate limits, bot detection, logging and IP or domain-level blocks to do so.
9. Changes to the tools
We may change, pause, replace or remove any free tool at any time, with or without notice, and results may change as we improve our checks.
10. No guarantee
Results are for information only and are provided as they are. They depend on public DNS, third-party systems and what you enter, so they may be incomplete or out of date. Check results yourself before acting on them.
11. Liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, EmailAuth is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or loss of profit, arising from using, being unable to use or relying on the free tools.
