Terms of Use

The terms for using the Messages.org website.

Last updated

Scope

These terms cover this website. Terms for the Console and API have not been published yet; until they are, write to us before relying on the service for production traffic.

Accounts and authority

If you create a Console account, you must be authorized by the organization you represent, give accurate information, keep your account and API keys secure, and connect only phone numbers and iMessage accounts you are entitled to use. Access to one organization or project never grants access to another.

Acceptable use

Do not probe, disrupt or reverse engineer the service, bypass access controls, introduce malware, impersonate a person or business, send unsolicited messages, evade opt-outs, upload unlawful content, or use the service in a way that breaks the law, Apple’s terms or another person’s rights.

Apple and other providers

iMessage is a service of Apple Inc., and iMessage is a trademark of Apple Inc. Messages.org is not affiliated with, sponsored by or endorsed by Apple. Using Messages.org grants no rights to Apple services or to anyone else’s device or phone number. Apple, LoopMessage, Amazon Web Services, Cloudflare and Adobe provide parts of the service under their own terms.

Availability

Messaging depends on Apple’s iMessage service, on our providers and on the devices that carry each line. We do not promise that any line or feature is continuously available, and we publish no service levels yet.

Suspension

We may restrict access to protect people who receive messages, our infrastructure, the integrity of a line or our legal obligations — for example after suspected credential exposure, unauthorized use of a line, opt-out violations, abusive messaging or unsafe attachments.

Changes

We may update these terms as the website or the law changes, and will change the date at the top when we do.
