Acceptable Use Policy

Last Updated: October 13, 2026

Email1Hour is operated by JustTryApps. Email1Hour is intended for short-term, lawful uses such as receiving verification codes and one-off messages without sharing your primary address. This policy supplements our Terms of Use.

You may not use Email1Hour to

  • commit or facilitate fraud
  • impersonate another person or organization
  • steal credentials
  • conduct phishing
  • distribute malware, ransomware, or malicious links
  • evade law-enforcement restrictions
  • facilitate illegal transactions
  • harass or threaten others
  • violate another person's privacy
  • violate intellectual property rights
  • conduct spam campaigns
  • automate abusive account creation
  • bypass a website's access controls
  • evade platform bans
  • circumvent fraud-prevention systems
  • circumvent sanctions or regional restrictions
  • attempt to access inboxes that are not yours
  • interfere with Email1Hour infrastructure
  • probe, attack, overload, scrape, exploit, or reverse engineer the service in an abusive manner

Do not use Email1Hour for activity that violates the terms or rules of another service. The fact that Email1Hour provides a temporary address does not grant permission to violate another website's policies.

Regional restrictions

New temporary inbox creation is currently unavailable from:

  • Cuba
  • Iran
  • North Korea
  • Syria
  • Russia
  • Belarus
  • China
  • Vietnam
  • Pakistan
  • Bangladesh
  • Nigeria
  • Indonesia

These restrictions may reflect a combination of legal, regulatory, compliance, fraud-prevention, abuse-prevention, security, operational, and commercial considerations, and may change without notice. The public website may still be viewable from restricted regions.

You may not attempt to circumvent regional restrictions using VPNs, proxies, altered headers, spoofed location information, or similar techniques.

Automation and abuse

Email1Hour may limit, challenge, throttle, block, or deny mailbox creation based on request volume, automated behavior, geographic location, abuse patterns, security signals, fraud indicators, and service capacity. We may refuse service without providing detailed information about internal security rules.

Enforcement

When we reasonably believe this policy or our Terms have been violated, JustTryApps may, at its discretion and without advance notice:

  • rate-limit, challenge, or block requests
  • delete affected inboxes and messages before their scheduled expiration
  • block access from specific networks, devices, or regions
  • refuse future service

Because inboxes are temporary and messages are deleted on expiration, we may have little or no data available about past activity.

Legal requests

JustTryApps responds to valid legal process, such as subpoenas, court orders, or warrants, as required by applicable law. We review each request for legal validity and scope and disclose only information that we hold and are legally required to provide. Requests should be submitted through our Contact page.
