Business terms
Effective date: October 2, 2026.
These terms are between Mike Garrett, doing business as MailKey ("MailKey", "we") and the business that applies for and uses the MailKey console ("you"). Accepting them is part of the production application. They apply in the free beta and in any paid phase.
What you receive
When a person gives you their MailKey, you enter it, read the masked preview back to the person, and claim the record. Claiming gives you a grant: the person's exact name and current mailing address, refreshable while the grant is active. If the person moves, the new address appears in your console on the effective date. If the person revokes you, you see a revocation instead.
Prohibited uses
You must not use any name or address received through MailKey, in whole or in part, to make or support a decision about a person's:
- credit or credit eligibility,
- employment,
- tenancy or housing,
- insurance eligibility or underwriting,
- or any other purpose covered by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
MailKey is not a consumer reporting agency, and its data is not a consumer report. When you apply for production access you attest that your use is permitted under this section.
Deleting released addresses
When you release a grant, or when a person revokes it, you must delete the name and address you received from every system you control. A released grant stays visible to the person, labeled as one where the business may still have the address, so this obligation is what makes that label temporary. Deleting also applies when you stop using MailKey or when we end your access.
Internal use only
You may use the address only for your own business dealings with the person who shared it. You must not re-share it, publish it or display it publicly, and you must not sell it.
AI voice agents and service providers
You may let an AI voice agent or another service provider act for you, if it is bound to the same restrictions as these terms. You are responsible for its use, including getting any consent the law requires to record or transcribe calls, and for telling callers they are speaking with an automated agent where the law requires it. Everything under "Prohibited uses" applies to your agent.
Accuracy and returned mail
Every address carries the date it was last confirmed, and the console flags addresses confirmed more than 12 months ago. If mail comes back, report it in the console so the person is asked to confirm or update the address.
Minors
Children's keys can be redeemed only by people a managing adult approves. A business lookup of a child's key looks the same as an unknown key. You must not try to get around this.
Access and review
During the beta we approve each production application by hand. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms. Your team members act under your account and you are responsible for them. Business use is free during the beta. We will give you at least 30 days' notice before any paid tier applies to you, and you may stop using MailKey before it does.
Governing law
MailKey is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows. You are responsible for how you use the data you receive, and you will indemnify MailKey against claims that arise from your breach of these terms. To the extent the law allows, neither side is liable for indirect or consequential damages. These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Maryland, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. Any dispute is resolved in the state or federal courts located in Maryland, and you and MailKey consent to their jurisdiction.
