Terms of service

Plain-English terms for the free check and the $5 report.

Last updated: 2 July 2026

What the service is

Check Email Age estimates how established an email address is, using public signals: breach-exposure history, domain registration records, mail configuration, disposable-domain lists and public profile data. The free check shows the headline age estimate. The $5 Trust Report adds the full signal breakdown, an overall verdict and a downloadable PDF.

What it isn't

Every figure is an estimate built from public data — a floor, not a ceiling, and never a guarantee. The report tells you how established an address appears to be; it cannot tell you with certainty that a sender is safe or fraudulent, and it does not identify who owns an address.

Not a consumer report. Check Email Age is not a consumer reporting agency and its reports are not consumer reports as defined by the US Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) or equivalent laws elsewhere. You must not use it to decide eligibility for credit, insurance, housing or employment. It is a first-pass fraud signal to supplement your own judgement — not a substitute for formal screening where the law requires one.

Payment

The Trust Report is a one-time $5 USD charge per checked address, processed by Stripe. If a payment goes through but your report doesn't unlock, or something else goes wrong, reach out via the contact page and it will be sorted out.

Acceptable use

  • Use the service only for lawful purposes — checking an address you have a genuine reason to assess.
  • Don't use it to harass, stalk or profile individuals.
  • Don't scrape, bulk-query or resell the service; rate limits are enforced.

Availability and liability

The service is provided as-is, on a best-effort basis, and depends on third-party data sources that can be temporarily unavailable. To the maximum extent permitted by law, liability for any claim connected to the service is limited to the amount you paid for the report in question.

Changes

These terms may be updated as the service evolves; the date above reflects the current version. Continued use after a change means acceptance of the updated terms.
