For receiving and forwarding only
Temporary email addresses can receive but not send. Aliases forward incoming messages to your verified email. Neither is a full two-way email service.
Effective October 15, 2026
Replaceable addresses,
responsible use
These terms explain CloneInbox’s services, your responsibilities and our limits. Read them before creating an address or signing in. If you disagree, do not continue using the service.
Not accepted by every platform
Third parties may reject temporary addresses or alias domains. Acceptance and delivery speed are not under our sole control.
Use a reliable primary email for important accounts
Do not rely on short-term addresses for banking, healthcare, work or recovery of essential accounts. Keep important information somewhere safe.
Abuse may result in restrictions
Fraud, attacks, harassment and attempts to bypass platform rules are prohibited. We may limit, suspend or terminate access.
1. Acceptance and eligibility
CloneInbox provides the services described in these terms at cloneinbox.com. You must have the legal capacity required where you live. If parental or guardian consent is required, obtain it before using the service.
You must follow the laws where you live and the rules of any site where you register. Using a temporary email address does not entitle you to bypass another party’s identity checks, registration limits or terms of service. These terms do not mean that any third party endorses our addresses.
2. Addresses and email service limits
Temporary inboxes are valid for 3 hours by default and can be extended within the period shown in the interface. After an address expires, is deleted manually or is replaced, the address and its messages may not be recoverable. You may also lose access if you lose your access credentials.
Long-term aliases require an account and a real email address that can receive messages. The management page shows forwarding records from the past 30 days. Pausing an alias discards new incoming messages. Deleting an alias does not automatically update the email address on your third-party accounts.
| Feature | Included | Not included |
|---|---|---|
| Temporary inbox | View and delete received messages while the address is active | Sending email, long-term storage or recovery after expiry |
| Alias forwarding | Forward eligible incoming messages to your account email | Guaranteed third-party acceptance or instant delivery |
| Delivery records | Recent delivery status, message content and available attachments | Recall of copies already delivered externally |
| Access protection | Email-code login and optional authenticator app | Safekeeping of your phone, email password or all recovery methods |
3. Permitted use and prohibited conduct
The service is designed to reduce unnecessary exposure of your email address and make messages from different sources easier to manage. Receive-only does not mean unrestricted: these rules apply to temporary addresses and long-term aliases alike.
If you discover that someone is abusing an address from our service, share the relevant address, time, email headers or other verifiable details. Do not forward unnecessary sensitive information, such as someone else’s passwords or identity documents, when reporting abuse.
Allowed: reasonable, authorised email use
- Receive verification codes and trial notifications for actions you initiated.
- Create separate aliases for shopping, subscriptions and tools.
- Check how emails appear in development environments you are authorised to use.
- Pause sources you no longer need and clear your records.
Prohibited: harming others or bypassing rules
- Fraud, phishing, impersonation or distributing malware.
- Creating accounts in bulk, evading bans or bypassing platform registration limits.
- Accessing, intercepting or disclosing someone else’s emails or credentials.
- Harassment, illegal content, attacking interfaces or excessive use of resources.
4. Accounts, credentials and devices
Use an email account you are authorised to control to receive verification codes. Keep your login tokens, browser devices and authenticator keys secure. Do not share verification codes, and do not stay signed in on shared devices.
If you lose your device or key after enabling an authenticator, you may have trouble signing in. If you suspect your account has been compromised, secure your email account immediately and contact support. We will review requests based on reasonable evidence, but cannot guarantee access can be restored without security checks.
5. Quotas, delivery and content handling
Alias counts, request rates, email sizes and supported attachments are subject to actual service quotas and security policies. Follow the limits shown in the interface or returned by the API. If you reach a limit, you may need to remove existing addresses, wait for a cooldown or stop the relevant activity.
Delays or lost messages may result from sender services, spam filters or recipient provider outages. Retrying only means attempting delivery again; it does not guarantee delivery. Links and attachments in messages are the sender’s responsibility, and you should assess whether they are trustworthy.
6. Restrictions, suspension and appeals
To protect users and keep the service stable, we may limit activity, block emails, suspend aliases or terminate accounts if we suspect abuse. In urgent security situations or when legally required, we may act before notifying you.
If you believe a restriction was applied in error, contact us from your account email at support@cloneinbox.com, and include when it happened, the relevant address and your legitimate use case. We will review verifiable information and will never ask you to provide a verification code or authenticator key.
7. Intellectual property, privacy and third parties
The website’s brand, interface and original content belong to their respective rights holders. Do not use our branding to impersonate us or mislead others. Receiving an email does not transfer rights to its contents. Third-party trademarks are used for identification or illustration only.
For information about data handling and how to submit requests, see our Privacy Policy. Third-party websites, senders and email providers have their own rules. These terms do not govern your relationship with them.
8. Service changes, liability and disputes
We take reasonable steps to maintain the service, but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation or suitability for every purpose. Keep your own backups of important information. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect losses resulting from reliance on temporary addresses, third-party delivery failures or compromised user credentials.
Nothing in these terms excludes consumer rights or legal responsibilities that cannot be excluded under applicable law. Features and terms may change; where reasonably practicable, we will notify you of significant changes. If a dispute arises, contact support first to try to resolve it. If that does not work, the matter may be handled by a competent authority under applicable law.
