API Use Policy

You may use the API solely as described in this Policy to use MailerSend services and build integrations.

Last updated on September 02, 2024

The MailerSend API Use Policy ("Policy") is a part of the MailerSend Terms of Use ("ToU"). MailerSend has developed and provides access to the API that may be used to access transactional email services ("Services"). You may use the API solely as described in this Policy to use MailerSend services and build integrations. All API requests are subject to this Policy, including all the  API endpoints, the SMTP relay and the inbound requests, and they are collectively referred to as the “API”.

Please note that throughout the Policy, "we," "us," and "our" refer to MailerSend, and "you," "your," and "yours" refer to the user.

This Policy enters into force (a) from the day you agreed with our ToU and continues for an indefinite period of time; or (b) on March 23, 2022 if you became our client before March 23, 2022 and continues for an indefinite period of time.

If there is any conflict between this Policy and the ToU, the relevant terms of the ToU shall take precedence.
