Terms for sign-up emails

01 · Scope of the service

Temprapid’s temporary inbox requires no registration. Once the page generates an address, you can copy it, read incoming emails, check how much time remains, and—where available—request an extension, delete emails, or generate a new address. You can’t send, reply to, forward on someone else’s behalf, or mass-send email.

Long-term forwarding is a separate service. You’ll need access to a real email account to receive a verification code and sign in. Aliases you create receive incoming email and forward it to that account, but can’t send or reply. Signing in to your forwarding account doesn’t turn a temporary inbox into a permanent one or automatically save its emails.

The two services have different retention limits. Before starting a task, check which one you’re using. Don’t rely on the address suffix alone to determine how long emails are kept.

To manage follow-up messages separately for each website, use the separate long-term forwarding service. For account recovery, identity checks, or important notifications, use an email account you control long term.

02 · Expiration and extensions

Check the countdown shown on the inbox page and the service status to see whether an address is still active. Don’t infer its validity from the term “10-minute email.” Newly created inboxes are valid for 3 hours by default. As expiration approaches, save anything you need before deciding whether to keep waiting.

You can request an extension before the inbox expires. A successful extension adds 3 hours. Check the service response and updated countdown to confirm it worked; clicking the button, waiting for a request to finish, or seeing no success message doesn’t mean the inbox has been extended.

Changing your address creates a new inbox and invalidates the old one; it doesn’t just rename it. Emails in the old inbox won’t move to the new one, and an address already submitted to an event organizer won’t update automatically. If the organizer allows it, you’ll need to submit the new address and request another confirmation email.

03 · Suitable and unsuitable uses

A temporary inbox is suitable only if the task really ends before it expires. Even if you initially need just one verification code, use a long-term contact method if you’ll later need to receive results, claim a prize, or get cancellation notices.

The lists below use the same criteria: task, follow-up needs, and recommended action. If an organizer requires a real or long-term email address, follow their rules—don’t use a temporary address to get around them.

If you’re unsure, check how long the event rules allow for each step: confirmation, claiming, and recovery. See the sign-up email guide to check the process. Don’t assume a temporary address is suitable for the whole task just because the first email arrives quickly.

04 · Third-party acceptance

Websites, survey providers, and event organizers set their own email acceptance rules. They may reject temporary addresses, delay confirmation emails, require extra verification, or ask for a long-term contact address. Temprapid doesn’t control these decisions and can’t guarantee that every website will accept an address from our service.

Submitting a form doesn’t guarantee that an email will be sent, and a sent email isn’t guaranteed to deliver a verification code. Queues, sending policies, network issues, and spam filtering can all affect delivery. Allow time for delays, and check that the address is complete and the form was submitted successfully.

If a site says it doesn’t accept this type of address, use an email that meets its requirements. Don’t submit repeatedly at high frequency, generate addresses in bulk, or try to bypass the site’s rules. For events that require confirmation days later, use a long-term email instead of relying on repeated extensions.

05 · Prohibited use

You may use this service only for lawful, authorized purposes that comply with third-party rules. Receive-only access isn’t permission to abuse the service or use temporary addresses to harm others.

• Illegal activity and infringement: Don’t use the service for illegal transactions, fraud, harassment, or distributing illegal content. Don’t receive or handle information you’re not authorized to access.
• Spam and bulk abuse: Don’t use inboxes or aliases for spam, automated fraudulent sign-ups, bulk exploitation of benefits, or manipulating event outcomes.
• Impersonation: Don’t impersonate another person, organization, or brand, or obtain someone else’s verification codes, access credentials, or account recovery information.
• Bypassing platform rules: Don’t bypass a website’s stated email restrictions, bans, eligibility checks, or one-person participation limits.
• Interface abuse and service disruption: Don’t evade rate limits, scan other people’s inbox credentials, generate abnormal traffic, exploit vulnerabilities, or disrupt normal email delivery.

To address abuse, security risks, or legal obligations, we may take necessary measures such as rate limiting, blocking access, disabling aliases, or restricting service. If you find a potential vulnerability, stop accessing unrelated data and report the steps needed to reproduce it to the support email below. Don’t share other people’s emails or credentials publicly.

06 · Your responsibilities

Before submitting an address, check that it’s complete and that it meets the organizer’s requirements and the task’s timeline. Copy any confirmation details, event reference numbers, or access instructions you need to keep, and follow any restrictions on their use. We can’t verify whether an email is genuine or guarantee the safety of third-party links or attachments.

Your access credentials are the keys to your inbox. Don’t share them, email screenshots, page debugging information, or links that grant access. Take care with data saved by your browser on shared devices. Protect the real email account, verification codes, and authenticator codes used for your long-term forwarding account as well.

Before deleting an email, destroying an inbox, or changing an address, make sure you’ve collected everything you need. These actions won’t update your third-party account details or cancel a sign-up you’ve already submitted. Once the original address expires, don’t rely on it for future password resets or identity checks.

When reporting a problem to support, include when it happened, the steps you took, and any error message without sensitive information. Don’t send a full access token, login verification code, authenticator secret, or unnecessary email content. For data-related questions, see the Privacy Notice.

07 · Service changes and contact

We take reasonable steps to maintain the service, but can’t guarantee continuous availability, instant email delivery, or compatibility with every third-party system. Maintenance, network outages, security measures, and external delivery failures may affect your experience. Don’t rely on this service as your only way to receive urgent, medical, financial, or other critical notifications.

We’ll update relevant pages when features, quotas, or usage rules change. Changes to these terms will be posted here with an updated revision date, and we’ll give notice of significant changes through appropriate means. Check the current terms before starting a new task. If a change no longer suits your needs, stop submitting new addresses and use an appropriate email account instead.

Nothing on this page excludes liability that can’t be excluded under applicable law or affects your legal rights. For questions about usage restrictions, delivery issues, or these terms, contact support@temprapid.com. Information about data handling is available in the separate Privacy Notice.
