This Acceptable Use Policy (“Policy”) applies to Valid Email Verifier, available at https://vev.astgd.com (the “Service”), operated by ASTGD (“ASTGD,” “we,” “us,” or “our”). For more information about ASTGD, visit https://astgd.com.

The Policy explains how the Service may be used and what activities are prohibited. By using the Service, you agree to comply with this Policy, our Terms of Service, and applicable laws.

2. Authorized Use

Valid Email Verifier is intended to help users assess the validity and deliverability characteristics of email addresses for lawful purposes.

You may use the Service for legitimate activities such as:

• Checking email addresses you are authorized to process.
• Maintaining the quality of contact information in your own systems.
• Cleaning email lists collected through lawful means.
• Supporting legitimate business communications and customer relationship management.

You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service is lawful and that you have the necessary rights or permissions to submit the email addresses you check.

3. Prohibited Activities

You must not use the Service, directly or indirectly, to:

• Conduct or facilitate spam, phishing, scams, fraud, or deceptive communications.
• Support identity theft, impersonation, harassment, threats, or other abusive activity.
• Process email addresses obtained through unlawful means.
• Violate privacy, data protection, electronic communications, anti-spam, or other applicable laws.
• Facilitate unlawful discrimination or make decisions that unlawfully harm individuals.
• Probe, target, or exploit email addresses for malicious purposes.
• Circumvent security controls, credit limits, rate limits, or other Service restrictions.
• Interfere with the operation, security, or integrity of the Service or its infrastructure.
• Attempt unauthorized access to accounts, systems, databases, or other users' information.
• Reverse engineer, scrape, or automate access in a way that violates our Terms, applicable restrictions, or law.

We may assess the purpose and context of suspected misuse when determining an appropriate response.

4. Email Lists and Consent

You are responsible for the email lists and other data you submit.

Before submitting data, you must ensure that:

• You have an appropriate lawful basis or authorization to process it.
• The data was not obtained through unlawful collection, unauthorized access, or other prohibited means.
• Your use of verification results complies with applicable privacy, marketing, and electronic communications laws.
• You do not use verification results as a substitute for obtaining consent where consent is legally required.

A verification result does not establish that an individual has consented to receive marketing or other communications.

5. No Guarantee of Deliverability

The Service provides verification results based on available technical checks and signals. Results may be incomplete, inconclusive, or inaccurate due to technical limitations, mail-server configurations, temporary conditions, privacy protections, or other factors.

You must not represent verification results as an absolute guarantee that an email address exists, is controlled by a particular person, or can receive a message.

6. Service Protection and Fair Use

You must not overload the Service, attempt to disrupt its availability, or use it in a way that creates unreasonable risk to our infrastructure or other users.

We may impose or adjust technical limits, rate limits, verification restrictions, or security measures to maintain the reliability and integrity of the Service.

You must not attempt to evade these measures through multiple accounts, automated activity, or other means.

7. Account Security

You are responsible for keeping your account credentials secure and for activity conducted through your account, subject to applicable law.

You must not access another user's account without authorization or share account access in a way that violates the Terms of Service or applicable restrictions.

Notify us promptly if you suspect unauthorized access or misuse of your account.

8. Test Credits and Purchases

Test credits may be provided to allow users to evaluate the Service before purchasing a credit pack.

Users should evaluate the Service using available test credits before purchasing. Once purchased credits have been added to an account, all credit purchases are final and non-refundable, and partial refunds are not offered, subject to rights that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

This section does not authorize misuse of test credits, the creation of multiple accounts to evade limits, or attempts to manipulate the credit system.

9. Enforcement

If we reasonably believe that you have violated this Policy or pose a risk to the Service, other users, or third parties, we may take appropriate action, including:

• Issuing a warning.
• Restricting usage or access to particular features.
• Suspending or terminating an account.
• Blocking abusive activity or technical access.
• Investigating suspected fraud or security incidents.
• Cooperating with lawful requests from competent authorities where required.

We will determine the response based on the circumstances, the seriousness of the suspected violation, security considerations, and applicable law.
