3. Changes to the Terms

We may update or modify these Terms from time to time, for example when we add new features, change our Service, or to reflect legal requirements.

When changes are material, we will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and may provide additional notice through the website or email. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

4. Description of the Service

ReceiveSMS.com provides access to temporary phone numbers that can receive SMS messages online. The Service is intended for lawful purposes such as account verification, testing, and temporary communication. We do not guarantee that any specific number or country will always be available.

We do not control or edit the content of SMS messages sent by third-party platforms, services, or individuals, and we are not responsible for their content or accuracy.

5. Eligibility

You may use the Service only if you are at least 18 years old, or older if required by the laws of your jurisdiction, and if you have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement.

By using the Service, you represent and warrant that you meet these eligibility requirements and that all information you provide is true and accurate.

6. Accounts and Security

Some features of the Service may require you to create an account. You agree to provide accurate, complete information and to keep it up to date.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. You must notify us promptly if you suspect any unauthorized access or use of your account.

We reserve the right to refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion, including in cases of suspected abuse, fraud, or violation of these Terms.

7. Use of Public and Private Numbers

7.1 Public Numbers

Public numbers are shared by all users. All SMS messages sent to these numbers are visible to anyone visiting the corresponding page and may be indexed by search engines.

You must not use public numbers for receiving sensitive or confidential information (such as banking codes, personal medical data, or government communications). We cannot restrict or remove individual messages sent by third parties except where required by law or for security reasons.

7.2 Private / Premium Numbers

Private or premium numbers are reserved for one user or order for a specified period. SMS messages for these numbers are accessible only through your account or secure interface.

While private numbers provide greater privacy than public numbers, you are still responsible for using them in a lawful and responsible manner. We do not recommend using any temporary number for long-term or critical accounts where you must retain permanent access.

8. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Activities

You agree to use the Service only for lawful and legitimate purposes. You must not use the Service:

• For fraud, scams, phishing, or impersonation of any person or organization.
• To send or receive spam, harassment, hate speech, or other abusive or illegal content.
• To violate the terms and conditions of other platforms or services you access with our numbers.
• To interfere with, disrupt, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to our infrastructure, systems, or accounts.
• To scrape or harvest data from our website at scale without prior written permission.
• In any way that violates applicable local, national, or international laws or regulations.

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service immediately if we reasonably believe you are engaging in prohibited activities.

9. No Guarantee of Delivery or Availability

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not guarantee that:

• All SMS messages will be delivered to our numbers.
• All numbers will work with every website, app, or platform.
• The Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free.

Third-party services may block or restrict temporary numbers at any time. We are not responsible for any failure of verification, loss of access, or other issues caused by external providers.

10. Payments, Refunds, and Pricing

Some features (such as private numbers or extended services) may require payment. Prices and available offers are displayed on the website and may change from time to time.

By placing an order, you authorize us and our payment processors to charge the specified amount using your chosen payment method. Unless stated otherwise, all fees are non-refundable once the service period starts or the number is delivered.

We may provide refunds or credits at our discretion in cases of clear technical failure on our side, but we are not obligated to do so for issues caused by third-party platforms, carriers, or user error.

11. Intellectual Property

The website design, logo, text, graphics, and other elements of the Service are owned by or licensed to ReceiveSMS.com and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, sell, or create derivative works based on the Service or its content without our prior written consent, except where permitted by law or by these Terms.

12. Disclaimers

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not guarantee that the Service will meet your requirements or that SMS verification will succeed on any particular third-party platform.

13. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, ReceiveSMS.com and its owners, employees, and partners shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service.

Our total liability for any claim related to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid us for the relevant service during the three (3) months preceding the event giving rise to the claim.

14. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless ReceiveSMS.com and its affiliates, employees, and partners from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to:

• Your use of the Service.
• Your violation of these Terms.
• Your violation of any law or third-party rights.

15. Third-Party Services and Links

The Service may contain links to third-party websites or services. We do not endorse, control, or take responsibility for their content, policies, or practices.

Any dealings you have with third-party services are solely between you and those providers.

16. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably believe you have violated these Terms, created a security risk, or engaged in fraudulent or abusive behavior.

You may stop using the Service at any time. If you have an account, you may request its closure by contacting support. Termination does not entitle you to refunds unless explicitly stated otherwise.

17. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which ReceiveSMS.com is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Any disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in that jurisdiction, unless mandatory law provides otherwise.

18. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced with a valid one that comes closest to the original intent.
