Last updated: June 2025

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your use of the [@fuck.it] email service ("Service"), operated by Paradise Circus Inc., a Delaware corporation with its mailing address at 1178 Broadway, 3rd Floor Ste 4238, New York, NY 10001, United States ("we" or "us"). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, don’t use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. No exceptions.

2. Paid-Only Access

[@fuck.it] does not offer free accounts. Access requires a paid subscription under an active plan (Core, Edge, or Apex). No payment = no access.

3. Invite-Only Access

This is a closed system. You need an invite code or approval to sign up. We can reject or revoke access at any time, with or without explanation.

4. Account Conduct

No spam, no scams, no hate, no malware, no impersonation. Don't use the Service for anything illegal, abusive, or shady. We can shut down accounts that break the rules - no warnings required. See also our Acceptable Use Policy and Anti-Spam Policy.

5. Your Content

Your inbox is yours. You own the emails you send and receive. We don't scan your content or sell your data. You're responsible for what you store or send. While your data is encrypted in transit and at rest, we do not offer end-to-end encryption. This means authorized staff may access your inbox content if legally required. For more details, see our Privacy Policy.

6. Privacy

We collect the minimum data needed to run the Service. All personal data is processed according to our Privacy Policy.

7. Payments & Renewals

All plans auto-renew unless cancelled. You agree to pay the posted rates. No refunds. If your payment fails, your account may be suspended or terminated.

8. Cancellations & Termination

You may cancel your subscription at any time via your account settings. Your plan will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
We do not issue partial refunds. Once the service has been accessed or used, refunds are not available. By starting your subscription, you agree to waive any applicable withdrawal rights under EU or other consumer law.
We apply this rule fairly and equally to all users, regardless of location. We also reserve the right to terminate your account at any time, for any reason or no reason.

9. Account Termination & Data Deletion

If your account is cancelled or terminated, we’ll delete your data within 30 days. That includes your emails, calendar entries, contacts, and anything else stored on our servers. Deleted means deleted - no backups, no archives, no take-backs. Back your stuff up before pulling the plug. Refer to our Privacy Policy for data retention info.

10. Username Policy

Usernames must not impersonate others, contain hate speech, or mislead. We may reclaim or block usernames that violate this.

11. Premium Usernames

Some usernames are classified as premium based on length, popularity, or cultural value. These are available only under specific paid plans or as one-time purchases.

When you subscribe to a premium username, you get exclusive use of it while your subscription remains active and paid. If your plan expires or payment fails, the username is placed on hold for 30 days. During that time, you can renew your subscription and retain it. After 30 days of inactivity, we may reclaim and release it.

Premium usernames are licensed, not owned. We may reserve or retire certain premium names at our discretion.

12. Invite

If you abuse the invite system - by mass-sharing codes, creating fake demand, or flooding invites - we may revoke your access.

13. Account Security

You're responsible for keeping your login credentials safe. If someone else uses your account because you used "password123," that’s on you. For more on how we approach risk, intrusion, and system safety, read our Threat Model.

14. User Communications & Consent

By using [@fuck.it], you agree we can email you about important stuff: welcome messages, password resets, security alerts, legal updates, and other essential notices. These aren’t optional – they’re part of the service.

We might also drop you a line about new features or special offers. No spam or surprise marketing – you’ll either explicitly join a mailing list or we’ll only send this stuff where the law says we can because you’re already our user. If you decide later ‘nah, not for me,’ just hit the unsubscribe link. We’ll take you off the list fast – no questions asked.

SMS may be used for important security events, including phone verification, password recovery, or backup number changes. Standard message rates may apply depending on your carrier.

15. Fair Use

Use the Service normally. Don’t treat it like a bot farm, hosting platform, or dump for mass automation. We reserve the right to shut down abuse. See our Acceptable Use Policy.

16. Subprocessors

We work with essential service providers - like our payment processor and hosting company - who only receive the minimum data necessary to do their jobs. Listed in our Privacy Policy.

17. Service Modifications

We may modify, suspend, or shut down the Service at any time. We’ll try to notify you, but we’re not obligated to.

18. No Warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available." We don’t guarantee uptime, perfection, or that you'll like it. Use it at your own risk.

19. Limitation of Liability

To the extent allowed by law, we’re not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages related to your use of the Service.

20. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless if your use of the Service causes us any legal, financial, or reputational trouble.

21. Artists & Gallery

[@fuck.it] proudly features a curated digital art space where invited artists can exhibit their creations. It’s part of our commitment to creativity, self-expression, and making the web a little less boring. If you see art on our site, it's because we love it - not because we own it.

We don’t sell artwork, broker deals, or act as agents. Artists retain full rights and control of their work. We simply give them visibility through our platform, social media, and the occasional shout-out in our newsletter. No contracts. No fees. No middlemen. Just mutual respect and damn good taste.

Note on Featured Artists: The artworks showcased in our [@fuck.it] gallery are submitted by the artists themselves. They keep full copyright. We don’t claim ownership - just the right to display it on our site, socials, or newsletter. Want your work removed? No drama. Just ask.

22. Copyright & DMCA

If you think someone is using [@fuck.it] to infringe your copyright, let us know. Email our designated DMCA agent at dmca@fuck.it or write to Paradise Circus Inc., 1178 Broadway, 3rd Floor #4238, New York, NY 10001, United States.

We’ll review valid DMCA notices and remove or disable the reported content if appropriate. We’ll also notify the account holder and give them a chance to respond (counter-notice) as the law allows.

If you’re a repeat copyright offender, we reserve the right to terminate your account. Don’t use our service to share stuff you have no right to.

23. Legal Jurisdiction

These Terms are under Delaware law and any lawsuits have to be filed in Delaware, United States. (If you’re overseas and the law says you can sue locally despite this clause, that law wins - but otherwise, Delaware.)

24. Dispute Resolution

Look, lawyers are expensive. By using our service, you agree to settle any beef with us through individual arbitration, not courts. It’s faster and cheaper for everyone. No class actions either - you can’t gang up in a lawsuit.

25. Intellectual Property Ownership

All code, design, and writing we create for [@fuck.it] is our intellectual property. You’re not allowed to copy or repurpose it without permission. Basically, you get to use our email service, but you’re not getting ownership of our logos, code, or any geeky stuff like that.

26. Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms. If we do, we’ll post the changes here. Continued use means you accept the updated Terms.

27. Force Majeure

We are not liable for any failure or delay in performance due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control. This includes, but is not limited to, natural disasters, power outages, internet disruptions, labor strikes, legal restrictions, or governmental actions.

28. Entire Agreement

These Terms, along with our Privacy Policy, Acceptable Use Policy, Anti-Spam Policy, and Abuse Policy, form the full agreement between you and us. If part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies.
