Top Temp Mail provides a free temporary (disposable) email address service. The Service allows users to:

• Generate random or custom temporary email addresses instantly without registration
• Receive incoming emails and verification codes (OTPs) in a web-based inbox
• Use temporary addresses for sign-ups, verifications, and protecting personal email from spam

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without any guarantees of uptime, email delivery speed, or data retention.

3. Acceptable Use Policy

You agree to use the Service only for lawful and legitimate purposes. You may use Top Temp Mail to:

• Protect your personal email from spam during website registrations
• Receive one-time verification codes (OTPs) for legitimate accounts
• Test email-related software and workflows during development
• Access gated content (e-books, whitepapers, newsletters) without exposing your real email

4. Prohibited Activities

You are strictly prohibited from using the Service for any of the following:

• Illegal Activities: Any activity that violates local, national, or international law, including fraud, identity theft, harassment, or stalking.
• Spam & Bulk Messaging: Using temporary addresses to send unsolicited emails, spam campaigns, or mass mailings. Our service is receive-only by design.

5. No Outbound Email

To prevent misuse and protect the integrity of the internet email ecosystem, Top Temp Mail is a receive-only service. You cannot send, reply to, or forward emails from a temporary address. This restriction is intentional and non-negotiable.
