Terms of Service

Effective Date: December 22, 2025

NOTICE: This Service provides technical information based on publicly available DNS records and third-party DMARC reports. The accuracy and completeness of this information depend entirely on external sources beyond our control. Users should independently verify all information and consult with qualified professionals before making decisions based on the Service's output.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and FLGXPL, a French company registered at the Tribunal de Commerce de Paris under number 810794164 ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the DMARCTrust service, including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through https://www.dmarctrust.com (the "Service").

By accessing or using the Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Service.

The Service is intended for business and professional use only, not for personal or household purposes. If you are a consumer under the mandatory laws of your country of residence, those mandatory rights prevail over any conflicting part of these Terms.

2. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

DMARCTrust provides domain-based message authentication, reporting, and conformance (DMARC) configuration monitoring and analysis services. The Service includes:

  • Domain DMARC configuration checking and analysis
  • DMARC report processing and visualization
  • Email authentication monitoring
  • Technical recommendations for DMARC implementation
  • Educational documentation and resources

The Service relies on external data sources, including but not limited to Domain Name System (DNS) records and DMARC reports submitted by third-party email providers.

2.1 Free and Paid Services

The Service offers both free and paid subscription options. The Free plan provides limited DMARC monitoring for one domain, including aggregate report processing and basic dashboard access (see Section 2.1.5 for specific limits and terms). Public tools such as the domain checker and educational documentation are also available without an account. Premium features and enhanced capabilities are available through paid subscription plans ("Paid Services").

2.1.1 Subscription Plans and Pricing Tiers

We may offer multiple subscription plans with different pricing tiers and features as described on our pricing page.

2.1.2 Domain Activation and Additional Costs

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Activating new domains is entirely at your discretion and under your control
  • By activating domains that exceed your plan's base allocation, you expressly agree to incur additional per-domain charges
  • Additional domain charges will be automatically added to your subscription and billed according to your payment schedule
  • You are solely responsible for monitoring your domain usage and any associated costs
  • Domain deactivation may not immediately result in billing adjustments; proration policies vary by plan

2.1.3 General Service Terms

Regarding all Services, you acknowledge and agree that:

  • Free Services may be converted to paid services at the Company's discretion
  • The Company may implement usage limits, rate limiting, or other restrictions on any Service
  • Free Services are provided without any service level agreement (SLA), uptime guarantee, or performance warranty
  • Priority support and enhanced features may be reserved for paid subscribers
  • Current pricing and feature information is available on our pricing page and subject to change

Your continued use of the Service after any such changes constitutes acceptance of the modified terms and pricing structure.

2.1.4 Service Levels

Unless a separate signed service level agreement ("SLA") states otherwise, the Service has no guaranteed uptime, response time, or performance levels. Any availability or support figures we publish are targets only. Your exclusive remedy for service issues is any credit or refund described in an SLA or, if none, your right to stop using the Service.

2.1.5 Free Plan

The Free plan is designed for hobbyists, personal projects, and evaluation purposes. It is not intended for professional, commercial, or production use. Free plan limits are as follows:

  • 1 domain monitored
  • 50 aggregate reports per calendar month with detail storage (report metadata and individual record entries). Reports received beyond this limit are still processed for aggregate statistics (pass/fail/volume counters) but detail rows are not retained.
  • 7-day data retention for aggregate reports and record entries
  • No access to forensic (RUF) reports, TLS-RPT monitoring, DNS change alerts, DNS timeline, source insights, SPF Optimizer, MTA-STS hosting (Receiver Shield), API keys, or data export

THE FREE PLAN IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE." ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE DISCLAIMED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

You acknowledge and agree that:

  • Support for Free plan users is provided on a best-effort basis only, with no guaranteed response time or resolution commitment
  • Free plan limits, features, and availability may change or be discontinued at any time without prior notice
  • The Free plan carries no service level agreement, uptime guarantee, or performance commitment of any kind
  • If you require guaranteed service levels, support response times, or production-grade reliability, you must subscribe to a paid plan

2.2 Fair Use Policy

The Service is provided under a fair use policy. Our subscription tiers are designed and priced for typical usage patterns of Small and Medium Businesses (SMBs). While we generally do not cap data ingestion hard limits, we monitor usage to ensure the stability and performance of the Service for all users.

If your usage significantly exceeds the typical volume for your selected plan (e.g., a large enterprise processing millions of reports on a starter plan), we reserve the right to:

  • Require you to upgrade to a higher tier or a custom Enterprise plan
  • Throttle or limit your data ingestion
  • Terminate your subscription if no agreement constitutes a commercially viable relationship

7. PRIVACY AND DATA PROCESSING

Your use of the Service is also governed by our Privacy Policy. By using the Service, you consent to the collection and use of information as described in the Privacy Policy.

7.1 Data Processing and DPA

When we process personal data on your behalf, you are the controller and we are the processor (or equivalent under applicable law). The DMARCTrust Data Processing Agreement ("DPA") is incorporated into these Terms and governs that processing. The DPA describes the subject matter and duration of processing, the categories of data and data subjects, security measures, subprocessors, assistance obligations, and cross-border transfer safeguards. If these Terms conflict with the DPA on personal data processing, the DPA prevails.

When processing DMARC reports on your behalf, we act as a data processor. You acknowledge that:

  • DMARC reports may contain IP addresses and other technical information
  • Some reports may contain personal identifying information (PII) such as email addresses or parts of email content
  • You have the necessary rights to process such data
  • You will comply with all applicable data protection laws
  • You will not use the Service to process or store PII without the necessary legal basis
  • We might share your data with third parties for the purpose of providing the Service (see 7.2)

7.2 Third-Party Service Providers

In providing the Service, we may engage third-party service providers and subcontractors who may process personal information and data ("Service Providers"). You acknowledge and agree that:

  • We may share information with Service Providers as necessary to provide, secure, bill for, analyse, and market the Service
  • Current Service Providers include, but are not limited to:
    • Google Analytics
    • Google Ads
    • SimpleAnalytics
    • Microsoft Advertising
    • Sentry
    • Cloudflare
    • OVH (hosting provider)
    • Stripe
  • Each Service Provider may have access to personal information only to the extent necessary to perform their specific services
  • We require Service Providers to maintain appropriate security measures and comply with applicable privacy laws

By using the Service, you acknowledge that data may be processed in various jurisdictions where our Service Providers operate, which may have different data protection laws than your jurisdiction.

Where a Service Provider acts as a Sub-processor for Customer Data under the DPA, the DPA governs that Sub-processor relationship, including any legally required notice and objection process.
