Last updated: June 1, 2026

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using GhostRelay, you agree to these Terms of Service. If you disagree with any part, you may not use our service.

These terms apply to all users of the service, including visitors, registered users, and anyone who accesses the GhostRelay platform.

  • Create up to 20 email aliases per account
  • Forward emails sent to aliases to your registered email address
  • Enable, disable, or delete aliases at any time
  • View forwarding statistics and manage alias settings

The service is provided "as-is" on a best-effort basis. While we strive for 99.9% uptime, we cannot guarantee uninterrupted service.

  • Provide a valid email address that you own

Your content (alias labels, notes, settings) remains yours. We claim no ownership over your data.

7. Termination

By you: You may delete your account at any time from your dashboard settings. All data will be permanently removed within 30 days.

By us: We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, abuse the service, or have been inactive for more than 12 months. We will attempt to notify you via email before termination when possible.

Upon termination, all aliases are immediately deactivated and will no longer forward emails.

  • All emails will be delivered successfully (recipient server issues are outside our control)
  • The service will meet all your specific requirements

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GhostRelay shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service.
