Terms of Service

You sign in with an email address you control. You are responsible for everything done with your account and your API keys, including by agents you give a key to. Keep keys secret, and revoke any key you think has leaked.

You must be old enough to form a binding contract where you live, and at least 18.

• You add funds to a prepaid balance in US dollars, paid through Stripe.
• A computer is charged to your balance by the minute from the moment it is created until it is deleted, at the rate shown when you create or resize it. A stopped computer is only charged for its disk.
• Creating or starting a computer needs a balance that covers an hour of it.
• If your balance runs out, your computers are stopped. Stopped disks keep being charged, so your balance can go below zero, and your next purchase covers that first. If the balance stays empty for three days, your computers and everything on them are deleted. We email you when your computers stop and the day before they are deleted.
• Your balance is prepaid for our service only. It is not a deposit, cannot be transferred, and is not refunded once used. Ask us within 14 days of a payment about refunding funds you have not used.
• We may change prices. A change applies to computers created or resized after we announce it.

You may run almost anything on your computers. You may not use them, or let an agent use them, to:

• break the law, or infringe anyone's rights, including intellectual property and privacy
• attack, scan, probe or break into systems you are not authorized to test
• send spam or unsolicited messages, or run open proxies or relays
• mine cryptocurrency
• host or spread malware, phishing pages or child sexual abuse material
• take part in denial of service attacks, or overload our network or anyone else's
• get around limits, isolation or billing, or reach other customers' computers

We may stop or delete a computer, revoke keys or close an account that breaks these rules, and we may report illegal activity. Where we can, we will tell you first.

What you put on a computer is yours. We do not look at it, except where we must to keep the service running, to investigate abuse, or because the law requires it. Computers are disposable: when one is deleted, its disk is erased and cannot be recovered. Keep anything you need somewhere else.

We work to keep Disposable Computer available, but we provide it as is, without guarantees of uptime, capacity or fitness for a particular purpose. Capacity is limited, and we may decline to create a computer when there is no room for it. We may change or end features, and we will give reasonable notice before ending the service.

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost data or lost profits, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.

You can stop using the service at any time and delete your account in Settings, after confirming a code we email you. Deleting it deletes its computers and keys, and any balance left is forfeited. We keep payment records as the law requires. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms; when an account closes, its computers are deleted.

We may update these terms. We will post the new version here with its date, and tell you by email about changes that matter. Questions go to [email protected].
