00Overview

HilMail is a privacy-first email service. These Terms of Service explain the rules for using it. We've kept them as straightforward as possible — no hidden clauses, no dark patterns.

These Terms of Service ("Terms") form a legal agreement between you and HilMail ("we", "our", or "us"). They apply to your use of the HilMail application, website, and all related services (collectively, the "Service").

HilMail provides a unified email experience — personal inbox, disposable addresses, and custom domain email — built on a foundation of privacy and user control.

01Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account or using the Service in any way, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service. We recommend reading both this document and our Privacy Policy before creating an account.

02Eligibility

You must meet the following requirements to use HilMail:

  • Be at least 13 years of age (or the minimum age required in your jurisdiction)
  • Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding agreement
  • Not be prohibited from using the Service under applicable law
  • Provide accurate information when creating your account

03Your Account

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under it.

  • Use a strong, unique password and keep it confidential
  • Do not share your account credentials with anyone
  • Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access
  • Keep your account information accurate and up to date
HilMail is not liable for any loss or damage arising from unauthorized access to your account caused by your failure to keep your credentials secure.

  • Using the Service to distribute malware or malicious content
  • Attempting to gain unauthorized access to HilMail systems
  • Impersonating other individuals or organizations
  • Using the Service for any illegal activity
  • Circumventing rate limits, security measures, or access controls
  • Reselling or sublicensing access to the Service without authorization
Violation of these rules may result in immediate account suspension or termination without notice.

05Subscriptions & Billing

HilMail offers both free and paid subscription tiers. Paid plans unlock additional features and storage.

  • Subscription fees are billed in advance on a recurring basis
  • You may cancel your subscription at any time through account settings or your payment provider
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period
  • We do not offer refunds for partial billing periods unless required by law
  • Prices may change with reasonable notice provided in advance
You are never locked in. Cancel anytime — no penalties, no hidden fees.

Supported payment processors

  • Google Play Billing — Android in-app purchases
  • Stripe — web and direct subscription payments

Each processor operates under its own privacy and security policies. HilMail receives only a payment confirmation — your financial data never touches our systems.

However, the Service may occasionally experience interruptions due to:

  • Scheduled maintenance and infrastructure upgrades
