Legal
Terms of Service
Last updated November 7, 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and The National Correspondent LLC ("InboxToll", "we", "us"). They apply to inbox owners who use InboxToll and to senders who pay to deliver a message. By creating an account or making a payment, you agree to them.
1. What InboxToll does
InboxToll connects to your email account, holds messages from senders who aren't on your whitelist, and offers those senders the option to pay a fee you set to deliver their message to your inbox. You can release, delete, whitelist, or block any held message at any time.
2. Your account
- You must be at least 18 and able to form a binding contract.
- You may connect only mailboxes you own or are authorized to manage.
- You're responsible for activity on your account and for keeping your login secure.
- You authorize InboxToll to read message headers, manage labels, and send one automated payment request per eligible sender from your mailbox, as described in our Privacy Policy.
3. Filtering is best-effort
InboxToll is designed to let mail through whenever it's unsure, and held messages stay in a label in your mailbox. However, we can't guarantee that every message will be classified the way you want. Check your Pending label for important mail, especially after connecting. You remain responsible for the messages in your mailbox.
4. Payments to inbox owners
- You set your price (minimum $0.50). Senders pay your price plus card processing fees.
- InboxToll keeps a platform fee of 20% of your price. The rest is paid out to you.
- Payment processing services for inbox owners on InboxToll are provided by Stripe and are subject to the Stripe Connected Account Agreement, which includes the Stripe Terms of Service (collectively, the "Stripe Services Agreement"). By receiving payouts through InboxToll, you agree to the Stripe Services Agreement, as Stripe may modify it from time to time. As a condition of InboxToll enabling payment processing services through Stripe, you agree to provide InboxToll accurate and complete information about you and your business, and you authorize InboxToll to share it and transaction information related to your use of the payment processing services provided by Stripe.
- You're responsible for any taxes on the payments you receive.
- We may change fees with at least 30 days' notice. Changes don't apply to payments already made.
5. Terms for senders
- Payment guarantees delivery, not a reply. When your payment succeeds, your message is moved into the recipient's inbox, marked as paid. The recipient isn't obligated to read or answer it.
- If your message can't be delivered (for example, the recipient already released or deleted it, or blocked you), your payment is refunded automatically.
- Other refunds follow the recipient's stated refund policy, if any. Card processing fees may not be refundable.
- Paying does not override a recipient's block list.
6. Acceptable use
You may not use InboxToll, whether as an inbox owner or a sender, to:
- send spam, phishing, malware, or unlawful, harassing, or threatening content;
- impersonate anyone or misrepresent your identity;
- interfere with, probe, or overload the service, or circumvent its rate limits or security;
- connect a mailbox you don't control, or use the service in violation of your email provider's terms; or
- use the service for any illegal purpose, including money laundering or sanctions violations.
We may suspend accounts or block senders that violate these rules.
7. Termination
You can stop using InboxToll at any time by disconnecting your mailbox and contacting us to delete your account. We may suspend or terminate access if you breach these terms or if required by law or by our payment or email providers. On termination, held messages are released to your inbox where possible.
8. Disclaimers
InboxToll is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't guarantee that the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, or that any particular message will be held, delivered, or paid for.
9. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, InboxToll will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the service is limited to the greater of the fees InboxToll retained from your account in the 12 months before the claim, or $100.
10. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify InboxToll against claims arising from your misuse of the service, your content, or your violation of these terms or of law.
11. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Missouri, and you consent to their jurisdiction.
12. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. If changes are material, we'll notify you at least 14 days before they take effect. Continuing to use InboxToll after that means you accept them.
