Email Archive Toolkit

Terms of use

Clear rules for a careful tool.

These Terms form an agreement between you and the operator identified in the Legal notice when you access or use Email Archive Toolkit.

Effective and last updated: August 27, 2026

Pre-launch legal identity required

This draft must not be used for a public commercial launch until the operator name, business address, jurisdiction, privacy email, and support email are configured. See the Legal notice.

1. Acceptance and eligibility

By using the service, you agree to these Terms and the Privacy Policy. If you use it for an organisation, you confirm that you may bind that organisation. You must be legally capable of entering this agreement and at least 16 years old. Do not use the service if applicable law prohibits you from doing so.

2. Service and local processing

The service provides browser-based tools for reading EML files, creating normalized PDFs, extracting attachments, generating checksum-backed preservation packages, and verifying compatible archives. In the current release, document processing occurs locally on your device. Features, limits, and supported formats are described on the Supported features page.

You are responsible for your device, browser, source files, output files, backups, and independent verification of results before relying on them.

3. Permission to use the service

Subject to these Terms, you receive a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable permission to use the hosted service for lawful personal or internal business purposes. No ownership of the software, branding, documentation, or service is transferred to you.

4. Your files and authority

You retain rights in files you lawfully control. You represent that you have the authority and lawful basis required to process the messages, personal data, confidential material, and attachments you select. Local processing does not remove obligations imposed by privacy, employment, discovery, records-management, intellectual-property, export-control, secrecy, or sector-specific laws.

5. Prohibited conduct

You must not use the service to violate law or another person’s rights; process material without authority; introduce malicious files; probe, attack, overload, or circumvent security or limits; misrepresent output as certified or signature-validated; remove proprietary notices; resell the hosted service while falsely claiming ownership; or use automated traffic that materially harms availability.

6. No legal, forensic, or compliance advice

The service is a technical utility, not a lawyer, records officer, forensic examiner, certification body, or expert witness. Output is not a legal opinion, authenticity determination, chain-of-custody certification, PDF/A certification, DKIM or S/MIME validation, or guarantee of admissibility. Obtain qualified professional advice and preserve original evidence under procedures appropriate to your matter.

7. Paid services

Any paid pilot, onboarding, configuration, or support service is governed by the order or invoice accepted by both parties. Unless an order says otherwise, fees are due before work begins, taxes are additional where required, and third-party fees are excluded. Mandatory cancellation, refund, and consumer rights remain unaffected.

8. Third-party services

Hosting, browsers, operating systems, email, payment services, and external links are provided by third parties under their own terms. We are not responsible for third-party products, modifications, outages, policies, or data practices, although applicable law may impose non-waivable obligations on us.

9. Availability and changes

The service may be modified, suspended, limited, or discontinued. Free service levels do not include an uptime commitment, support response time, preservation obligation, or backward-compatibility guarantee. We may introduce paid plans or revise limits prospectively.

10. Disclaimer of warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the service is provided “as is” and “as available.” We disclaim implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, uninterrupted availability, and error-free operation. We do not warrant that every MIME structure, attachment, character, layout, header, or malicious input will be interpreted or rendered correctly. Nothing in these Terms excludes a warranty or remedy that applicable law does not permit us to exclude.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, neither the operator nor its suppliers will be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, business, goodwill, data, evidence, or opportunities arising from the service. Aggregate liability connected with the service will not exceed the greater of US $100 and the amount you paid us for the affected service during the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim.

These limits do not apply to liability that cannot lawfully be limited, which may include fraud, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or mandatory consumer rights. Some jurisdictions do not permit certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

12. Business-user indemnity

If you use the service on behalf of a business, and to the extent permitted by law, that business will defend and indemnify the operator against third-party claims arising from unlawful files, lack of authority, infringement, or material violation of these Terms. This does not require indemnification for the operator’s own unlawful conduct and does not apply to consumers where prohibited.

13. Suspension and termination

You may stop using the service at any time. We may restrict access when reasonably necessary to address abuse, security, legal requirements, material breach, or risk to others. Sections intended by their nature to survive—including ownership, disclaimers, liability, and dispute terms—continue after termination.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of the operator’s principal place of business, excluding conflict-of-law rules. Courts located in the jurisdiction identified in the Legal notice have non-exclusive jurisdiction. This choice does not remove mandatory protections or the right to use courts or dispute bodies available to consumers under applicable law. Before filing a claim, the parties should attempt in good faith for 30 days to resolve it through the support contact.

15. General provisions

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and an accepted order form the agreement for the service. If a provision is unenforceable, it will be limited to the minimum extent necessary and the rest remains effective. Failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign the agreement without consent; the operator may assign it as part of a reorganisation or transfer of the service, subject to applicable law.

16. Contact and changes

Questions or legal notices should use the contact in the Legal notice. Updated Terms apply prospectively from the posted effective date. If a material change requires consent under applicable law, it will not apply without that consent.
