PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. THEY CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION REGARDING YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS, INCLUDING: A BROAD DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES; A CAP ON THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY; A BROAD INDEMNIFICATION RUNNING IN FAVOR OF THE COMPANY; SPECIFIC PROVISIONS ALLOCATING RISK FOR OUTBOUND MAIL DELIVERY, TRACKING, AND TIMING TO YOU; CUSTOMER-SIDE RESPONSIBILITY FOR INCORRECT DOCUMENTS, RECIPIENTS, RETURN ADDRESSES, MAILING INSTRUCTIONS, AND OTHER INFORMATION SUBMITTED BY YOU, YOUR PERSONNEL, YOUR AI AGENT, OR ANY TOOL USING YOUR CREDENTIALS; NO OBLIGATION BY THE COMPANY TO STORE, ARCHIVE, OR PROVIDE COPIES OF YOUR PDFS OR DOCUMENTS AFTER FULFILLMENT; CUSTOMER-SIDE RESPONSIBILITY FOR PROTECTING API KEYS, MCP CREDENTIALS, AND AGENT CONFIGURATIONS; MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER; KNOW YOUR CUSTOMER (KYC) REQUIREMENTS; THE COMPANY MAY REPORT SUSPECTED ILLEGAL, ABUSIVE, FRAUDULENT, OR DANGEROUS ACTIVITY AS REQUIRED OR PERMITTED BY LAW; AND THE COMPANY'S RIGHT TO SUSPEND OR TERMINATE YOUR ACCESS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, INCLUDING FOR SUSPECTED FOUL PLAY, HACKING, FRAUD, OR ILLEGAL PRACTICES.
THE PLATFORM OFFERS AN OUTBOUND MAIL API AND AGENT MAILBOXES, WHICH ARE LIVE NOW. YOU SUBMIT A DOCUMENT, RECIPIENT, AND SERVICE CLASS, AND THE COMPANY ARRANGES FOR PRINTING, ENVELOPING, POSTAGE, AND CARRIER TENDER. THE MAILBOX RENTAL IS A COMPLIANT STREET ADDRESS AND PMB AT THE MANHATTAN BEACH, CA FACILITY, GOVERNED BY THE HUMAN MEMBER AND THAT MEMBER'S AGENT, AND IS ASSIGNED AFTER VERIFICATION AND APPROVAL. WHERE THESE TERMS REFER TO INBOUND MAIL, FACILITY-OPERATED PACKAGE INTAKE, BAILEE CUSTODY, FORM 1583, CMRA OPERATIONS, OR CONTENT SCANNING, THOSE PROVISIONS APPLY ONLY TO MEMBERS WHO HAVE BEEN EXPRESSLY ENROLLED FOR THE APPLICABLE SERVICE; THEY DO NOT APPLY TO OUTBOUND-ONLY USERS.
1. Introduction and Definitions
1.1 Agreement Overview
Welcome to Mailbox.bot (the "Service," "Platform," "we," "us," "our"), an outbound mail API and inbound mail context platform for individuals, businesses, and AI agents, operated by Golden Ratio, LLC, a Utah limited liability company doing business as "Mailbox.bot" (the "Company"). The Company's generally-available offering lets you submit a document, recipient, and service class for printing, enveloping, postage, and carrier tender, and lets you forward scans, photos, PDFs, notices, and notes from mailing addresses you already use to a private mailbox.bot alias. Agent mailboxes are live now. The Company rents a compliant street address and PMB at the Manhattan Beach, CA facility for USPS mail and eligible packages, with intake photos, content scanning, forwarding, and discard, governed by the human member and that member's agent. The Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms v1.10 and Fee Schedule FS-1.3 govern the mailbox rental when separately accepted; publishing them does not activate a mailbox for any particular Member. When you enroll, your agreement also includes the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, fee schedule, order or checkout disclosures, and any addendum that you separately accept. Those documents control over conflicting provisions of these general Terms for that rental. By accessing or using our website, API, mobile applications, agent protocols, and services, you ("Member," "Operator," "you," "your") agree to be bound by these Terms of Service ("Terms"), the Acceptable Use Policy incorporated by reference at mailbox.bot/aup, and any other service-specific document you expressly accept.
1.2 Key Definitions
- "Agent" means any artificial intelligence system, autonomous software agent, bot, or automated process registered on the Platform by a Member. Agents can autonomously order products, manage logistics, and interact with physical commerce through the Platform.
- "Member" or "Operator" means the verified human individual or authorized representative of a business entity who creates an account, completes the applicable Verification process (Section 5), and is responsible for all Agents, credentials, outbound mail dispatched, charges incurred, and, if managed inbound service is activated, all authorized inbound activity under the account.
- "Endpoint" means a logistics intake point provisioned by the Platform for an Agent at a Company-operated Facility, identified by a unique Reference Code, for private carrier package receiving purposes.
- "Reference Code" means the unique alphanumeric identifier assigned to an Endpoint for package routing purposes at the Facility (e.g., Ref: GR-7F3A).
- "Facility" or "Node" means a physical location used by the mailbox.bot network for receiving, storing, processing, or forwarding packages and mail. A Facility may be operated by the Company or by a separately owned and appropriately licensed facility operator, as identified in the applicable order or service disclosure, and may be a CMRA-registered mail center or a warehouse/fulfillment location.
- "Package" means any physical item, parcel, envelope, or document received at a Facility on behalf of a Member or their Agent. Packages are the property of the Member; the Facility holds them under custodial care.
- "Bailee" / "Bailment" means the legal relationship in which the Facility (bailee) holds temporary custody of the Member's property (the Package) under a duty of reasonable care, while the Member (bailor) retains ownership. This is the same model used by warehouses, fulfillment centers, and 3PL providers.
- "Private Carrier" means any non-USPS delivery service, including but not limited to FedEx, UPS, DHL, Amazon Logistics, OnTrac, LaserShip, GSO, Spee-Dee, and regional carriers.
- "CMRA" means a Commercial Mail Receiving Agency registered with the United States Postal Service under 39 CFR Part 111 to receive USPS mail on behalf of customers.
- "Form 1583" means USPS Form 1583 (Application for Delivery of Mail Through Agent), required for virtual mailbox service at CMRA facilities. Before USPS mail can be received, the applicant must complete the current form and either sign or confirm the signature in the physical or real-time virtual presence of the CMRA owner, manager, or authorized employee, or acknowledge the signature before a qualifying notary through the applicable Company-approved workflow.
- "Operator Dashboard" means the web-based interface through which Members manage their account, Agents, Endpoints, and Packages with human oversight.
- "Webhook" means an HTTP POST callback notification sent by the Platform to a Member's or Agent's designated endpoint with JSON payload upon occurrence of a package event or tracking update.
- "KYC" or "Verification" means the Company's tiered identity-verification and anti-fraud process, applied at account creation and (where applicable) prior to enabling specific Service tiers. The outbound mail tier requires (i) capture of the Member's legal name, (ii) authorization of a real-bank-issued debit or credit card with Stripe Radar fraud screening, and (iii) successful Twilio Lookup carrier verification of a real-carrier mobile, landline, or fixed-VoIP phone number. Managed mailbox service additionally requires the identity, recipient, Form 1583, identification-copy, California acknowledgment, and approval records stated in the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms. "KYC" as used in these Terms is a fraud-prevention and platform-integrity measure, not a regulated Customer Identification Program ("CIP") under the Bank Secrecy Act or any equivalent regulatory regime.
- "Prohibited Items" has the meaning set forth in Section 8.
- "Content Scan" means the process of opening a Package, photographing or digitizing its contents, and delivering the resulting images and structured data to the Member or Agent via the Platform.
- "Outbound Mail" means a physical letter mailed by the Company on behalf of a Member or Agent, produced from a PDF document submitted via API or MCP, printed, enveloped, stamped, and deposited with USPS.
- "Outbound + Inbound Forwarding" means the generally-available service plan ($0/mo base plus per-piece outbound mail charges) that provides outbound mail capabilities and a private alias for inbound mail context. It does not provide a physical inbound receiving address, Form 1583 handling, notarization, or managed mail receiving.
- "API" means the Application Programming Interface through which Members and Agents interact programmatically with all Platform services.
- "Agent Protocol" means standardized discovery and communication protocols including MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, REST, and others supported by the Platform.
- "Logistics Intake Node" means a physical facility on the mailbox.bot network used for package and mail receiving, storage, and forwarding purposes.
- "Provenance Chain" means the documented chain of custody from carrier delivery through intake, storage, and disposition, attributed to a specific client via Reference Code.
- "Acceptable Use Policy" or "AUP" means the acceptable use policy incorporated herein by reference and available at mailbox.bot/aup.
2. Nature of Service
2.1 Service Description — Outbound Mail (Generally Available)
Mailbox.bot's generally-available offering is an outbound mail API. You (or your authorized AI agent, MCP client, A2A peer, or REST consumer) submit (a) a document, (b) a recipient address, (c) a return address, and (d) a service class (e.g., USPS First Class, USPS Priority, USPS Certified, USPS Certified with Electronic Return Receipt, FedEx, UPS). The Company arranges, through its production network, for the document to be printed, enveloped, weighed, postage-applied, photo-documented, and tendered to the selected carrier. Photo proof of mailing documents the drop-off event only and is not proof of delivery. The Company does not guarantee mail-piece dispatch or delivery deadlines; risk allocation for outbound mail is governed by Section 9A.
The Outbound + Inbound Forwarding plan ($0/mo base) requires no physical inbound address, no Form 1583, and no notarization. Members provide their own return address, may forward digital mail context from addresses they already use, and pay per-piece handling, per-page printing, plus the carrier postage estimate or rate shown in the outbound mail cost breakdown. The full outbound mail risk allocation, agent-credential responsibility, and customer-content rules in Sections 6.4, 9A, 9B, 12, and 14 apply to all generally-available users.
2.2 Mailbox Rental — Compliant Address for the Member and the Agent
The mailbox rental is separate from outbound-only use. It includes:
- A mailbox rental at the Manhattan Beach CMRA facility for USPS mail and eligible packages, subject to strict Fee Schedule FS-1.3 limits; USPS Form 1583, approved witnessing or notarization, identity verification, and approval required
- Other warehouse or package-receiving services only if stated in a separately accepted order or addendum
- Endpoint provisioning with Reference Codes and physical facility addresses
- Bailee custody, intake documentation, exterior photography, package logging
- Content scanning (open, photograph, digitize, reseal)
- Storage and forwarding under the applicable fee schedule
- Consolidation, return-routing, and a third-party sender shipping portal (ship.mailbox.bot) only if stated in a separately accepted order or addendum
The Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms v1.10 and Fee Schedule FS-1.3 are separate from these general Terms and apply when affirmatively accepted. The Company activates a member's mailbox when that member's account, identity, Form 1583, payment, and facility requirements are satisfied. Once accepted for an activated account, the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, fee schedule, order, and addenda control over conflicting provisions of these Terms for the mailbox rental.
2.3 What We Provide (Outbound Mail)
- Outbound mail submission via REST API, MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, dashboard, and webhook callbacks
- Document printing (B&W or color), enveloping, postage application, and carrier tender
- Photo proof of drop-off (not proof of delivery)
- Choice of service class (USPS First Class, Priority, Certified, Certified Electronic Return Receipt, FedEx, UPS)
- Cost-cap, daily-piece-cap, force-approval, dry-run, idempotency, and test-mode controls
- Webhook event delivery for outbound mail lifecycle events
- Operator Dashboard for human oversight and management of outbound activity
- Agent identity management, agent-scoped API keys, and standing-instructions versioning (MAILBOX.md)
2.4 What We Do NOT Provide
- Virtual office services, general or corporate registered-agent services, or use of the Facility as a business registration address
- Residential addresses or addresses suitable for establishing residency
- Licensed professional services (legal advice, tax/accounting advice, financial planning, real estate brokerage)
- Customs brokerage or international import/export services
- Hazardous materials handling, storage, or disposal
- Insurance coverage for mail or package contents (Members are responsible for insuring their own property)
- Document storage, backup, archival, records-management, or customer system-of-record services for PDFs, source documents, generated print files, or mailed documents after fulfillment
- Guaranteed delivery times or outcomes from any carrier
- Direct supervision or control of Agent activities (Members are solely responsible for their Agents)
- Process-server services, litigation representation, notarization (except limited Form 1583 notarization offered through approved third-party providers), apostille, or certified-copy services; this does not eliminate the narrow service-of-process intake, notice, mailing, record, and declaration duties that applicable California law imposes on an activated CMRA
2.5 Intended Use Cases (Outbound Mail)
The outbound mail service is designed to support a range of programmatic and human-driven mailing workflows, including but not limited to:
- Transactional and operational mail: receipts, statements, invoices, notices, customer letters
- Compliance, legal, and contractual correspondence (subject to Sections 9A.5 and 9B.3 — the Company does not guarantee deadlines)
- Marketing, retention, and re-engagement mail (subject to applicable law)
- Agent-driven document delivery (e.g., autonomous agents that mail forms, letters, or filings on a Member's behalf)
- Batch and high-volume mailings via the batch-mail API
The Company does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the success of any particular use case. Members are responsible for ensuring their use of the Platform complies with all applicable laws and regulations.
2.6 Platform Provider Status
The Company provides software, an outbound mail API, and, for an activated mailbox rental, physical receiving through a Company-operated Facility or a separately owned facility operator as identified in the applicable order or service disclosure. The Company is not the principal, employer, partner, joint venturer, or agent of any Member or AI Agent and does not direct, control, or supervise Agent activity. A separately owned Facility Operator is an independent business, but that status does not eliminate duties applicable law or an accepted order imposes directly on the Company. Members are solely responsible for the actions, omissions, and conduct of their autonomous agents, including all mail dispatched, orders placed, and logistics decisions made by AI agents operating through the Platform.
3. Mailing Address Requests
3.1 Requesting a Mailing Address
Agent mailboxes are live now. Prospective Members may request a mailbox rental by providing an email address via the website (mailbox.bot) or API endpoint (POST /api/v1/mailing-address-requests). A request starts enrollment; it does not by itself assign an address or PMB and creates no binding obligation on either party until the Member completes enrollment and the Company activates the mailbox.
3.2 Requests by AI Agents
AI agents and autonomous systems may submit mailing address requests programmatically via the API without captcha verification (rate limited to 5 requests per minute). When live outbound mail is enabled for an agent, the agent will require a verified human or legal entity sponsor to complete the applicable Verification process (Section 5) before production credentials are issued. A compliant street address, PMB, and physical-intake capability are live now for Members that complete all applicable verification, Form 1583, payment, facility, and activation requirements. The rental is governed by the human member and that member's agent. A request by an agent does not waive any requirement or authorize address use.
3.3 Enrollment and Capacity
The Company contacts requesters by email to continue enrollment. Mailboxes are assigned after verification and approval, in the Company's sole discretion.
4. Member Eligibility and Registration
4.1 Eligibility Requirements
To register as a Member, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract
- Provide the account, payment, phone, and verification information required for the applicable Service tier, as described in Section 5. For outbound-only users, this generally includes legal name, account email, a real-bank-issued debit or credit card (prepaid cards, gift cards, and other anonymous or non-reloadable funding sources are not accepted), and successful Twilio Lookup carrier verification of a phone number. Managed mailbox services additionally require the identity, recipient, Form 1583, identification-copy, California acknowledgment, business-authority, and approval records stated in the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms.
- Successfully complete the Company's verification process at the applicable Service tier (Section 5)
- Provide a valid physical address for billing and account-recovery purposes
- Not be listed on any U.S. government sanctions list, including but not limited to the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals (SDN) List
- Not have been previously terminated from the Platform for violations of these Terms
4.2 Business Entity Registration
If you are registering on behalf of a business entity, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that entity to these Terms, and that the entity is duly organized, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation. The entity must provide its legal name, jurisdiction of formation, EIN or equivalent tax identification number, and registered agent information.
4.3 Account Security
You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials, API keys, and webhook secrets. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your account, whether or not authorized by you. You must immediately notify the Company of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security.
5. Know Your Customer (KYC) and Identity Verification
5.1 Mandatory Verification — Tiered by Service
Before issuing production credentials, enabling live outbound mail, or provisioning any inbound Reference Code, the Member must complete the Company's verification process. The level of verification depends on the Service tier the Member is using:
(a) Outbound mail (generally available). The Company verifies, prior to issuing production credentials and enabling live outbound mail:
- Capture of the Member's legal name and account email
- Authorization of a real-bank-issued debit or credit card via Stripe, with Stripe Radar fraud screening (prepaid cards, gift cards, virtual cards not linked to a bank account, and other anonymous or non-reloadable funding sources are rejected)
- Successful Twilio Lookup carrier verification of a phone number identified as a real-carrier mobile, landline, or fixed-VoIP line (nonFixedVoip, pager, voicemail, and similar non-carrier numbers are rejected)
(b) Managed mailbox services (virtual mailbox, package receiving, content scanning, forwarding). Before any PMB or managed physical address may be activated, the Member and each applicable Covered Recipient must complete the requirements in the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, including:
- Document-based identity verification via Stripe Identity, including a valid, unexpired government-issued photo identification document (driver's license, passport, state ID, or equivalent), a live selfie photograph for biometric liveness check and comparison against the identification document, and confirmation of the Member's full legal name, date of birth, and physical address
- For CMRA-based virtual mailbox service, a complete and properly witnessed or notarized USPS Form 1583, the required identification copies, and all USPS, California, facility, and recipient-level records then applicable
Nature of the verification process. The Company's verification is a fraud-prevention and platform-integrity measure designed to deter abuse, sanctions exposure, and impersonation. It is not a regulated Customer Identification Program under the Bank Secrecy Act, FinCEN rules, or any equivalent regulatory regime, and the Company does not represent that verification establishes a Member's true legal identity for any purpose other than account creation and Service eligibility. The Company is not a financial institution, money services business, or money transmitter.
Successful outbound-tier verification may enable the applicable outbound capabilities. Managed inbound capabilities require separate written activation after every applicable Form 1583, identity, facility, payment, recipient, and compliance requirement is complete. Agents inherit identity and authority from their verified operator — autonomous agents cannot self-register or obtain broader rights than their sponsoring human or legal entity.
5.2 Sanctions, Watchlist, Fraud, and Risk Screening
Where applicable, the Company or its verification, payment, identity, or compliance providers (which currently include Stripe and Stripe Radar for payment-method screening, Stripe Identity for inbound-tier document-based identity verification and any sanctions/watchlist screening offered through that product, and Twilio Lookup for phone-carrier verification) may perform sanctions, watchlist, fraud, or risk screening on a Member, the Member's payment method, phone number, or other Member-provided information. The depth and scope of any such screening varies by Service tier and by provider. For the inbound tier, screening typically includes a check intended to flag matches against the U.S. Department of the Treasury Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List (SDN List) through the identity-verification provider. For the outbound tier, the Company relies primarily on payment-method authorization, fraud-signal screening, and carrier-verification signals; the Company does not represent that a customer-facing OFAC sweep is performed on every outbound-only Member.
Any screening performed is advisory. The Company does not warrant that screening identifies every sanctions, watchlist, fraud, or risk match, and the absence of a flag is not a representation that any Member is in compliance with sanctions or other law. Where the Company learns that a Member appears on a sanctions list or is otherwise prohibited from receiving the Service, the Company will refuse, suspend, or terminate the account and may report or cooperate with authorities to the extent required or permitted by applicable law.
5.3 Right to Refuse Service
The Company is not required to provide reasons for refusal of service except where required by applicable law. Fees paid by rejected applicants will be refunded for unused services only.
5.4 Ongoing Verification
The Company may, at any time and without prior notice, require Members to re-verify their identity, provide additional documentation, or answer questions about their account activity. Failure to comply with re-verification requests within 48 hours may result in immediate account suspension.
5.5 Verification Record Retention
The Company retains verification metadata, including verification results, processor session identifiers, captured name, and masked card and phone identifiers, for the period stated in the Privacy Policy to support fraud investigation, dispute resolution, audit, security, and compliance. For an outbound-only account, the Company does not independently retain a copy of the underlying government-issued identity document after provider verification unless applicable law, valid legal process, or a documented legal hold requires it. A different rule applies to managed inbound CMRA service: the Company obtains Form 1583 and clear copies of both required identification documents, uploads required records to USPS, and, because the receiving Facility is in California, retains Form 1583 and both identification copies throughout service and for at least two years after service to the corresponding customer or addressee terminates. Those records are not sold or disclosed for advertising and remain subject to the limited operational and legal disclosures in the Privacy Policy and Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms.
6. Agents and Endpoints
6.1 Agent Registration and Scope of Agent Capabilities
Members may use the outbound mail Service directly through the Operator Dashboard, or register AI agents to automate outbound mail and related API workflows. Agent registration is optional — outbound mail is fully accessible through the dashboard without automation.
For Members who choose to automate: AI agents and autonomous systems may be registered on the Platform. Each Agent registration requires a unique name, a slug for subdomain assignment (e.g., agent-slug.mailbox.bot), and optionally a webhook URL, framework identifier, capability declarations, and Agent Protocol configurations (MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, REST).
Outbound-only Members: Agents may submit outbound mail, query mail status, consume webhooks, and use the related agent-credential, cost-cap, and standing-instructions APIs. Package receiving, content scanning, package forwarding, consolidation, and physical intake apply only after an approved managed-inbound account is activated under the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and are not available to outbound-only Members. References elsewhere in these Terms to Agents receiving packages, requesting scans, or initiating forwarding describe managed mailbox capabilities only.
Members are encouraged to implement spending caps (X-Max-Cost-Cents), daily-piece caps (max_daily_pieces), force-approval routing, and monitoring for autonomous agents to maintain control over Agent activities.
6.2 Member Responsibility for Agents — Inherited Identity Model
The Company does not monitor, supervise, or control Agent behavior. Members must implement their own monitoring, spending limits, and approval workflows for autonomous agents. The Member agrees to indemnify and hold the Company harmless for all claims arising from Agent activity.
6.3 Managed Endpoint Provisioning After Approval (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
This Section 6.3 describes Endpoint provisioning at a physical Facility. It applies once the Member has completed all required verification, Form 1583, facility, payment, and activation steps. Agent registration or a mailing address request never provisions a physical address, Reference Code, or PMB.
Only after written activation confirmation may the Platform provision the applicable managed-inbound features, which may include:
- An assigned, conflict-checked PMB at the approved Facility, bound to the accepted Form 1583 and Covered Recipient records
- The compliant physical mailing-address format displayed in the activated account
- A vanity subdomain for agent identity (agent-slug.mailbox.bot)
- API credentials scoped to the Agent
- Webhook endpoint configuration for instant package notifications
- Public profile hosting with Agent Protocol support (MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, REST)
A PMB or candidate address remains inactive until the Company sends written activation confirmation. The physical Facility address may later change under Section 7.1.2 and the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms; a replacement location requires the applicable new Form 1583, identification, approval, and written activation steps before use.
6.4 Agent Credentials, API Keys, and MCP Tokens
The Platform issues several classes of credentials, including (i) member-scoped API keys, (ii) agent-scoped API keys (sk_agent_* and test keys sk_agent_test_*), (iii) facility API keys (sk_facility_*), (iv) MCP installation tokens, (v) webhook signing keys (whsk_*), and (vi) session cookies for the Operator Dashboard. The secret portion of each key is shown to you only once, at creation; the Company stores only a salted hash and cannot recover the original secret if it is lost.
Without limiting the foregoing, you agree to: (a) treat every API key, MCP token, and webhook signing key as a high-sensitivity production secret; (b) never embed credentials in source code, public repositories, public agent profiles, marketing materials, screenshots, screen recordings, or third-party prompts; (c) restrict credentials to the minimum scope required and prefer agent-scoped keys over member-scoped keys for autonomous workflows; (d) implement appropriate spending caps using X-Max-Cost-Cents, max_daily_pieces, and similar policy controls before granting an agent the ability to send live mail; (e) immediately rotate or revoke any credential you suspect has been disclosed, copied, intercepted, leaked through prompt injection, or misused; and (f) cooperate with the Company's investigation of any suspected credential incident.
The Company has no obligation to detect compromised credentials on your behalf, and the Company shall not be liable for any charges, mail dispatched, data accessed, or other actions taken using a credential that was valid at the time of use, regardless of how the credential came into the hands of the actor that used it.
6.5 Agent Identity and Protocol Support
Each Agent receives a public profile hosted at [agent-slug].mailbox.bot, including support for standard agent discovery and communication protocols:
- MCP (Model Context Protocol): For context-aware agent interactions
- A2A (Agent-to-Agent): Discovery and interoperability protocol support
- OpenClaw: Agent discovery and capability declaration via /.well-known/agent.json
- REST: Standard RESTful API access for programmatic interaction
The Company provides the infrastructure for agent identity and protocol hosting but does not verify, endorse, or guarantee any information in an Agent's profile, protocol declarations, or capability claims. Members are solely responsible for the accuracy, security, and compliance of their Agent's profile information and protocol implementations.
7. Facility and Physical Operations
7.1 Facility Address
The Company provides physical receiving for an activated mailbox rental through a Company-operated Facility or a separately owned facility operator identified in the applicable order or service disclosure. An address and PMB are provided only to approved, activated Members through authenticated account surfaces and written activation confirmation. The Company may change a Facility address only subject to the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, applicable law, and the transition procedures in Section 7.1.2.
Sections 7.x describe the mailbox rental's mail and eligible-package services. They apply to expressly approved and activated Members who accept the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms; they do not apply to outbound-only users.
7.1.1 Facility Risk Acknowledgment
A Facility may be operated by the Company or by a separately owned facility operator, as identified in the applicable order or service disclosure. A separately owned operator is not an employee, subsidiary, or affiliate of the Company, and the Company does not control that operator's day-to-day staffing or business decisions. Provisions in these Terms referring to an independent facility operator apply only when a separately owned operator actually performs the relevant service; they do not disclaim the Company's own legal or operational duties where the Company operates the Facility or CMRA.
If managed inbound service is activated, the Member acknowledges the following practical risks:
- Facility performance — delays, mistakes, closures, lease events, emergencies, postal action, and operator changes may affect intake or require a replacement location.
- Address updates — the Member must timely update senders and affected business, banking, tax, licensing, marketplace, government, court, and contractual records after a change.
- Delivery continuity — USPS and private carriers may not provide uninterrupted delivery, and the same PMB number may be unavailable at a replacement location.
- Independent operators — responsibility for an independent operator follows the accepted service documents and applicable law; the independent relationship does not waive a duty or remedy that cannot lawfully be disclaimed.
7.1.2 Facility Relocation, CMRA Continuity, and New Forms
For an activated managed mailbox, Section 2.5 of the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms v1.10 supplies the complete relocation rules and controls any conflict here. In summary, the Company will send direct, retainable notice of a planned material address change and use commercially reasonable efforts to provide at least 30 days' advance notice when practicable, with earlier or different notice when law requires. An unavoidable casualty, lockout, postal suspension, government order, safety event, or similar emergency may require shorter notice, but does not permit omission or delay of a notice that applicable law requires before implementation. If legally required prior notice cannot be given, the replacement location will not be treated as an accepted amendment and renewal will not continue on changed terms until compliant notice and any required acceptance have occurred.
A planned replacement address will not be activated until the new Facility has the required USPS Form 1583-A process and database updates, local business-license and land-use approvals, and a continuity or closure procedure coordinated with the responsible Postmaster or Postmasters. Each person or entity for whom USPS or applicable law requires a new Form 1583 must complete the current form with the exact new address and PMB, provide two current USPS-acceptable identification documents, complete fresh signature confirmation before the CMRA owner, manager, or authorized employee or the Company-approved notarization workflow, complete any legally or operationally required California acknowledgment or location addendum, affirmatively accept the new address and identified operator, and receive written activation confirmation. The Company may prepopulate only the Facility address, PMB, and other fields USPS assigns to the agent; it may not complete the applicant's entries, sign for a Member, alter the official form, or silently reuse stale identification. If the owner or operator changes, the replacement operator may not receive until the Customer accepts revised or supplemental terms identifying it and separately signs the required California acknowledgment appointing it; the prior operator's surviving appointment remains separate. A non-California replacement also requires location-specific revised or supplemental terms and affirmative acceptance.
The Company's default workflow may require remote notarization even though USPS also permits qualifying real-time witnessing by the CMRA owner, manager, or authorized employee. If new execution is required solely because of a Company-initiated move, the standard Company-arranged reexecution and witnessing or notarization will be provided or credited; a Member-selected premium method or Member-caused rework may be charged only after disclosure and acceptance. A Member may decline the replacement location and cancel without a relocation or cancellation fee. The Company will not double-bill the transition or charge for a Company-caused receiving gap without a billing pause or prorated credit, and unused prepaid subscription amounts after a Company termination without Member breach follow the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms.
The old Form 1583, PMB, and postal authority do not port automatically. Under current USPS rules, neither the Member nor CMRA may file an individual change-of-address order from the PMB, and CMRA-addressed mail is not forwarded through USPS. The Company will follow any later controlling postal rule or lawful documented USPS direction that expressly governs the situation. No whole-agency forwarding is promised and any such procedure requires express authorization under then-current postal rules and documented USPS direction. Ending the old relationship does not eliminate the CMRA's duty to accept and remail USPS mail intended for the former Customer for at least six months with new postage, unless a valid written do-not-remail instruction or controlling postal or legal direction applies. For a planned move, compliant old-address intake will not voluntarily cease without a documented USPS-authorized method that continues that duty. If an involuntary event makes old-site intake impossible, the Company will promptly coordinate with the responsible Postmaster, follow controlling written direction, and will not treat termination alone as permission to refuse mail or stop required remailing. Private-carrier packages follow separate custody and transition rules and have no equivalent six-month promise. A move or operator change also does not erase the original California CMRA owner's or operator's surviving two-year service-of-process and record duties.
7.2 Carrier Policy
Carrier acceptance depends on the Facility and your accepted service documents. The Manhattan Beach mailbox rental under Fee Schedule FS-1.3 may receive USPS letter mail, flats, and documents and eligible packages tendered by USPS or supported private carriers, subject to the strict monthly, weight, dimension, content, and operational limits in the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and Section 7.14. Receipt of an item does not waive those limits. Ineligible or over-limit items may be refused, returned, quarantined, or handled as the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms permit, at the Member's risk and expense. Any separate warehouse or fulfillment plan follows its accepted order or addendum.
7.3 Package Intake Procedures (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Upon receipt of a Package at a Facility, the facility operator follows a standardized intake process establishing a documented provenance chain:
- RECEIVE: Sign for and accept the Package from the carrier, establishing bailee custody
- SCAN: Photograph the exterior of the Package from multiple angles
- LOG: Record Package details in the Platform including carrier, tracking number, dimensions, weight, and timestamp
- ATTRIBUTE: Route the Package to the appropriate Endpoint based on the Reference Code — no commingling of client property
- STORE: Place the Package in a designated storage area within the Facility under bailee custody
- NOTIFY: Immediately send webhook notification with JSON payload to the Agent's configured endpoint, and/or email notification to the Member
Webhook notifications include structured data: tracking number, carrier name, package photos (URLs), weight, dimensions, timestamp, Reference Code, and Agent identifier. This enables autonomous agents to make immediate logistics decisions upon package arrival. All packages are attributed to a specific client via Reference Code throughout the provenance chain.
7.4 Package Storage (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Packages are stored at the Facility under custodial care only for the included period and any chargeable period stated in the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and fee schedule. The Member retains ownership unless title is transferred through a valid instruction or a specifically applicable lawful procedure. Expiration of an included or contractual custody period does not by itself transfer title, authorize disposal, or eliminate nonwaivable postal duties.
7.5 Content Scanning (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Members may request a Content Scan for any Package. Content Scanning involves opening the Package, photographing or digitizing the contents, delivering the resulting images and/or extracted data to the Member via the Platform, and resealing the Package. Content Scan requests are subject to additional fees per the applicable pricing plan. The Company reserves the right to refuse Content Scanning for any Package that appears to contain Prohibited Items.
7.5.1 Sensitive and Regulated Content
Mail and packages opened through Content Scanning or other handling services may contain sensitive, confidential, or regulated information, including but not limited to:
- Protected health information (PHI) such as medical records, insurance statements, explanation of benefits (EOBs), prescriptions, lab results, and healthcare correspondence
- Financial information such as bank statements, credit card numbers, tax documents, account numbers, PINs, and investment records
- Authentication credentials such as passwords, security codes, access tokens, and multi-factor authentication materials
- Business confidential information such as trade secrets, proprietary data, customer lists, contracts, and intellectual property
- Legal documents such as court filings, attorney correspondence, settlement agreements, and regulatory notices
- Government-issued documents such as Social Security cards, passports, immigration documents, and benefit notices
Consent to Handle Sensitive Content: By requesting a Content Scan, mail opening, or any service that involves accessing the contents of your mail or packages, you expressly consent to the Company and its facility operators viewing, photographing, digitizing, and transmitting the contents to you via the Platform — including any sensitive or regulated information contained therein. You acknowledge that this consent is necessary for the Company to perform the services you have requested and that the Company cannot selectively redact or exclude sensitive content during scanning without prior specific instruction from you.
No HIPAA Covered Entity Status: The Company is not a healthcare provider, health plan, healthcare clearinghouse, or business associate as defined under the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). The Company does not hold itself out as HIPAA-compliant and is not subject to HIPAA regulations. If you receive mail containing protected health information (PHI) and request that it be scanned, you acknowledge that the scanning, storage, and transmission of that information through the Platform is not subject to HIPAA safeguards. Members who require HIPAA-compliant mail handling should not use Content Scanning for mail that may contain PHI, or should make alternative arrangements for the receipt of healthcare-related correspondence.
No SOC 2 Certification: The Company does not currently hold SOC 2 Type I or Type II certification. While the Company implements commercially reasonable security measures (encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, audit logging, and secure infrastructure providers — several of which are themselves SOC 2 certified), the Company's own operations have not been independently audited under the SOC 2 framework. Members who require SOC 2-certified document handling for regulatory or compliance purposes should evaluate whether the Platform meets their requirements before using Content Scanning services.
Data Protection Commitment: Notwithstanding the above, the Company commits to the following with respect to all content obtained through Content Scanning and mail handling services:
- The Company will not sell, rent, license, or otherwise commercially distribute the contents of your mail, packages, or scanned documents to any third party — ever
- The Company will not use the contents of your mail or scanned documents for advertising, marketing, data mining, AI model training, or any purpose other than delivering the requested service to you
- Scanned content is accessible only to you (the Member), your authorized Agents, and authorized Company personnel with a legitimate operational need (e.g., quality review, troubleshooting, or fulfilling your service request)
- The Company will not voluntarily disclose the contents of your mail or scanned documents to any third party except: (a) as required by law, valid court order, subpoena, or other legal process; (b) to law enforcement pursuant to Section 9 of these Terms; (c) to protect the safety of Company personnel, other Members, or the public; or (d) with your explicit written consent
- The Company will apply the same security measures to scanned content as it applies to all other Member data, including encryption at rest and in transit, access controls, and audit logging
7.6 Package Forwarding (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Members may request that Packages be forwarded to a designated address. Forwarding is subject to additional fees including the cost of shipping via the selected carrier. The Company is not liable for Packages lost, damaged, or delayed during forwarding by the carrier.
7.7 Unclaimed Packages and Other Property (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Unclaimed Packages and other property are governed by the notice, custody, storage, transfer, and lawful-disposition process in the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and applicable law. No Item becomes Company property merely because a storage, payment, notice, or contractual custody period expires. The Company may sell, donate, destroy, use, or transfer title only under an authenticated lawful instruction or a specifically applicable statutory, judicial, lien-enforcement, or other lawful procedure. USPS mail remains subject to controlling postal rules.
7.8 Package Condition and Chain of Custody (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
The Company accepts Packages in the condition delivered by the carrier and establishes bailee custody at the point of intake. The Company makes no representations or warranties regarding the condition of a Package upon arrival, including but not limited to damage, tampering, or partial delivery that may have occurred during carrier transit. Exterior photographs taken at intake document the Package's condition at the time of receipt and establish the provenance chain. The Company is not liable for any condition issues attributable to carrier handling prior to Facility receipt.
7.9 No Climate or Environmental Controls (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Unless specifically agreed to in writing under an Enterprise plan, the Company's Facilities do not provide climate-controlled, temperature-regulated, humidity-controlled, or environmentally sealed storage. Members who ship items that are sensitive to temperature, humidity, light, vibration, or other environmental conditions do so entirely at their own risk. The Company is not liable for damage, degradation, spoilage, or loss of functionality caused by environmental conditions during storage.
7.10 Right to Refuse or Dispose of Dangerous Packages (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
If any Package received at a Facility is leaking, emitting fumes, producing unusual odors, making sounds, generating heat, or otherwise presenting an actual or perceived safety risk to Facility personnel, other Packages, or the Facility itself, the Company may immediately quarantine, remove, or dispose of the Package without prior notice to the Member. The Company may also contact emergency services or hazardous materials response teams at its sole discretion. The Member is liable for all costs incurred by the Company in responding to a dangerous Package, including cleanup, decontamination, emergency response fees, and any damage to the Facility or other Members' Packages.
7.11 Cross-Contamination and Shared Facility Risk (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Members acknowledge that Packages are stored in a shared Facility alongside Packages belonging to other Members. The Company takes reasonable precautions to segregate Packages by Reference Code with no commingling of client property, but does not guarantee complete physical isolation from other Packages. The Company is not liable for any cross-contamination, pest infestation, odor transfer, moisture damage, or other harm caused by proximity to other Members' Packages in the shared Facility environment.
7.12 Carrier Misdelivery (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
The Company is not liable for Packages that are misdelivered by a carrier to the wrong Facility, wrong address, or wrong Reference Code. If a Package addressed to a Member's Reference Code is delivered to a different location by the carrier, the Member's sole remedy is against the carrier. If a Package addressed to a different recipient is delivered to the Facility, the Company will make reasonable efforts to return it to the carrier or correct the delivery, but assumes no liability for such misdelivered Packages.
7.13 Photography and Documentation Accuracy (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
Exterior and Content Scan photographs are provided on an "as-is" basis. Photographs may not capture all damage, defects, or details of a Package or its contents. Lighting, camera limitations, and human error may affect photograph quality. The Company does not warrant that photographs are complete, accurate, or sufficient for any particular purpose including insurance claims, legal proceedings, or inventory management. Members should not rely solely on Company-provided photographs for critical assessments of Package condition or contents.
7.14 Package Size and Weight Limits (Mailbox Rental Only)
The Manhattan Beach mailbox rental under Fee Schedule FS-1.3 accepts only eligible Packages within all of the following limits:
- Maximum weight: 20 pounds per Package, including packaging
- Maximum outside dimensions: 19 × 14 × 12 inches after sorting the three dimensions from longest to shortest, including packaging and protrusions
- Strict limit: 5 Packages per billing month, with no paid package-overage tier
Nonstandard private-carrier Packages require advance written approval and may otherwise be refused or returned as permitted by the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms. USPS mail remains subject to postal acceptance and return rules: a plan limit alone does not authorize refusal of mail for a current customer or a former customer within the USPS remailing period. Any exception requires lawful USPS direction. Repeated limit violations may result in suspension or termination. Any separately approved warehouse or enterprise service is governed by its own accepted order or addendum; no larger-item capability is included in the managed mailbox subscription.
7.15 Physical Operations Risk Acknowledgment (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
The Company and its facility operators handle postal mail and packages in real-world environments staffed by human beings and assisted by automated systems. Despite commercially reasonable care, security measures, training, and operational procedures, the following risks exist and are inherent to any physical logistics operation:
- Package Loss — Packages may be lost during any phase of the logistics lifecycle, including carrier transit to the facility, intake processing, internal storage, retrieval, forwarding preparation, or outbound carrier handoff. Loss may result from human error, mislabeling, misattribution to the wrong Reference Code, system errors, inventory discrepancies, or circumstances that cannot be identified or explained. The Company will make commercially reasonable efforts to locate lost Packages but cannot guarantee recovery.
- Package Theft — Packages may be stolen by facility personnel, contractors, co-tenants, visitors, delivery drivers, or unknown third parties. While the Company implements access controls, surveillance, and personnel screening at its facilities, no physical security system eliminates the risk of theft entirely. The Company is not an insurer of your property against theft.
- Package Damage — Packages may be damaged during intake handling, storage, content scanning, resealing, movement within the facility, forwarding preparation, or outbound shipping. Damage may result from drops, crushing, stacking, water exposure, equipment malfunction, or ordinary wear associated with handling physical goods. The Company exercises reasonable care but does not guarantee that Packages will remain in the same condition as received.
- Mail and Package Misattribution — Packages may be attributed to the wrong Member or Reference Code due to illegible labels, missing reference codes, human sorting errors, barcode scanning failures, or similar intake errors. The Company follows standardized attribution procedures but cannot guarantee error-free routing in a high-volume physical environment.
- Delayed Processing — Package intake, scanning, content scanning, forwarding, and other facility actions may be delayed due to staffing shortages, high volume, equipment failure, weather, facility access issues, or other operational factors. Published processing times are estimates, not guarantees.
- Mail Handling Errors — For virtual mailbox customers at CMRA facilities, mail may be opened in error, delivered to the wrong box, delayed in processing, misrouted during forwarding, or lost during internal handling. Mail handling involves manual processes performed by facility staff and is subject to human error at every step.
- Forwarding and Outbound Errors — Packages forwarded to a destination address may be shipped to the wrong address due to data entry errors, label printing errors, or incorrect information provided by the Member or their Agent. Outbound mail submitted for print-and-mail may contain printing defects, be sent to an incorrect address, or be lost or delayed by the postal carrier. The Company is not liable for errors in outbound delivery once a Package or mail piece is tendered to a carrier.
- Content Scan Limitations — Content scanning involves physically opening Packages, which inherently risks damage to contents or packaging. Scanned images may not capture all items, may be blurry or poorly lit, and may miss small, hidden, or layered contents. Resealing may not restore the Package to its original condition.
- Facility Security Limitations — Facilities are commercial spaces, not vaults, armored depositories, or high-security installations. They are protected by commercially reasonable measures (locks, cameras, access controls, personnel screening) but are not impervious to break-ins, natural disasters, fire, flooding, power loss, or other events. Shared facilities house Packages from multiple Members in proximity.
- Personnel Risk — Facility operations require human personnel who have physical access to your Packages and mail. Despite background checks, training, and oversight, the Company cannot guarantee the conduct of every individual who may handle your property. This includes facility employees, temporary workers, contractors, maintenance personnel, and cleaning staff.
- Operational Errors — In any physical logistics operation, errors occur. Labels are misread, packages are placed on wrong shelves, scans fail, notifications are delayed, forwarding labels are printed incorrectly, and items are occasionally overlooked. The Company implements quality controls and process checks to minimize errors but does not warrant error-free operations.
The Company's sole obligation upon loss of or damage to a Package in its bailee custody (where such loss or damage is attributable to the Company's failure to exercise reasonable care) is limited to the remedies set forth in Section 14.6 (Bailee Liability). The Company shall have no liability whatsoever for loss, theft, damage, delay, or misdelivery attributable to carriers, third parties, force majeure events, or circumstances beyond the Company's reasonable control.
7.16 Member Insurance Responsibility (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
The Company does not provide insurance coverage for the contents or value of Packages or mail received, stored, or forwarded through the Platform. Members are solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining their own insurance coverage, including but not limited to: declared value coverage or shipping insurance through the originating carrier; renter's insurance, homeowner's insurance, or business property insurance that covers goods in the custody of a third-party bailee; and any specialized coverage for high-value, fragile, perishable, or irreplaceable items. The Company will cooperate with Members in filing insurance claims by providing intake photographs, chain of custody records, and other documentation available through the Platform, but assumes no responsibility for the outcome of any insurance claim.
8. Prohibited Items and Activities
8.1 Prohibited Activities
Members may not use the Platform to:
- Receive, store, or forward any Prohibited Items (defined below)

- Items subject to U.S. export controls, ITAR restrictions, or sanctions
- Items requiring special licenses, permits, or certifications to possess or transport
- Any item whose receipt, possession, or transport is prohibited by federal, state, or local law
8.3 Right to Inspect
The Company reserves the right, but not the obligation, to inspect any Package received at a Facility if the Company has reasonable suspicion that the Package contains Prohibited Items, if the Package is damaged, leaking, or emitting unusual odors, if required by law enforcement or pursuant to a lawful order, or if the Company determines inspection is necessary to protect the safety of its employees, other Members, or the public.
8.4 Consequences of Violation
Violation of this Section may result in: immediate account termination without refund; seizure and disposal of the offending Package; reporting to law enforcement (see Section 9); and permanent ban from the Platform.
9. Law Enforcement Cooperation and Reporting
9.1 Permissive Reporting
The Company may, in its good-faith judgment and without prior notice to you, report to an appropriate federal, state, local, or foreign law-enforcement agency, regulator, prosecutor, carrier, payment processor, or other party any activity that the Company suspects to involve any of the following: (a) fraud, identity theft, payment-card abuse, money laundering, terrorism financing, or sanctions evasion; (b) hacking, credential theft, unauthorized access, denial-of-service, prompt-injection, scraping, or other computer-misuse offenses against the Platform or its users; (c) use of the Platform to send threatening, harassing, extortionate, stalking, scam, phishing, defamatory, or fraudulent mail; (d) impersonation of a government agency, court, attorney, healthcare provider, or financial institution; (e) trafficking in Prohibited Items, controlled substances, weapons, or counterfeit goods; (f) child exploitation material, non-consensual intimate imagery, or other content whose creation or transmission is criminally prohibited; (g) sanctions, OFAC, or watchlist matches; (h) attempts to provide false identity documentation, evade KYC, or misuse another person's identity; or (i) any other conduct that the Company, in its sole judgment, deems necessary or appropriate to report. The Company has no duty to investigate, validate, or substantiate suspected conduct prior to reporting and is not obligated to report any particular activity.
9.2 Law Enforcement Requests
The Company will comply with valid subpoenas, court orders, search warrants, and other lawful legal process. In response to such process, the Company may produce records in its possession including, where applicable, Member identity verification records, package intake logs and photographs, agent registration information, API access logs and webhook event logs, communication records, and other responsive information. The Company reserves the right to challenge or seek narrowing of any process it believes to be overbroad, defective, or otherwise improper before producing records.
9.3 No Obligation to Notify
The Company is NOT obligated to notify Members of law enforcement requests, investigations, or reporting unless required by law. In many cases, the Company is prohibited from providing such notification. Members waive any right to advance notice of law enforcement cooperation to the extent permitted by law.
9.4 Preservation Requests
The Company will honor lawful preservation requests from law enforcement and will preserve relevant records for the period specified in such requests, or for 180 days if no period is specified.
9.5 Member Cooperation
Members agree to cooperate with the Company and with law enforcement in connection with any investigation related to their account, their Agents, or Packages received on their behalf. Failure to cooperate may result in immediate account termination.
9A. Outbound Mail Service — Specifications, Tracking, and Risk Allocation
This Section 9A applies to the Company's outbound mail service, which is the Platform's primary generally-available offering and is the service governed by the Outbound Only and Outbound add-on plans. Your use of the outbound mail service is subject to all other provisions of these Terms in addition to this Section 9A; in the event of a conflict between this Section 9A and any other Section, this Section 9A controls solely with respect to outbound mail.
9A.1 Service Description
You (or your authorized AI agent, MCP client, A2A peer, or REST consumer) submit (a) a document file (PDF or other supported format), (b) a recipient address, (c) a return address, and (d) a service class (e.g., USPS First Class, USPS Priority, USPS Certified, USPS Certified with Electronic Return Receipt, FedEx, UPS) along with optional flags (color printing, double-sided, page count, max-cost cap, idempotency key, dry-run, test mode). The Company arranges, through its facility network, for the document to be printed, enveloped, weighed, postage-applied, photo-documented, and tendered to the selected carrier.
9A.1.1 Business Hours and Fulfillment Timing
Standard business hours are Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Pacific Time, and Saturday, 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Pacific Time, excluding Company-observed holidays. Sunday is closed. Business accounts may submit weekend support requests; the Company's target response time for weekend business-account support requests is twenty-four (24) hours or less. Unless a different written service level applies, outbound mail orders submitted through the Platform are generally prepared for carrier tender on the next business day after submission, subject to payment authorization, account standing, required approvals, document readiness, carrier holidays, weather, security review, fraud review, and other operational constraints.
9A.2 Carrier Custody Transfer — Risk Allocation
Specifically, the Company is not liable for, and you accept the risk of: (a) any delay, non-delivery, mis-delivery, partial delivery, return-to-sender, opened-in-transit, damaged, destroyed, or lost mail piece once the piece has been tendered to the carrier; (b) any failure of the carrier to scan, track, or generate timely tracking events; (c) any inaccuracy or staleness in carrier-provided tracking data surfaced through the Platform; (d) any service-class downgrade, address-correction surcharge, or postage adjustment imposed by the carrier; (e) any holiday, weather, labor-action, force-majeure, or operational delay attributable to the carrier or its subcontractors; and (f) any consequence of the carrier's loss, destruction, or refusal of the mail piece for any reason.
9A.3 Tracking Information
Where the selected service class includes a tracking number, the Company surfaces carrier-provided tracking events to you via the dashboard, REST API, MCP, A2A, and webhooks on a best-effort basis. Tracking data is generated by the carrier, not by the Company. The Company does not warrant that tracking events will be timely, complete, accurate, or available for any particular service class, and the Company shall not be liable for any decision you or your agent make in reliance on a tracking event (or the absence of one). For service classes that do not include tracking (e.g., USPS First Class letters without tracking add-on), no tracking event will be available and the only proof of mailing the Company can produce is the photo proof described in Section 9A.4.
9A.4 Photo Proof of Mailing
For each outbound mail piece, the facility may capture photo evidence of one or more steps in the production lifecycle, including printed pages, sealed envelope, postage label, and carrier drop-off. Photo proof documents the drop-off event only. Photo proof is not, and shall not be construed as, proof of delivery, proof of receipt by the recipient, proof of contents, certified mail electronic return receipt (which is a separate USPS service available as a service class), notarization, or any form of legal service of process.
9A.5 No Guaranteed Mailing or Delivery Deadlines
You acknowledge that postal mail is inherently subject to lead time, queueing, batching, weather, holidays, carrier capacity, and human handling. If you have a hard deadline for delivery (court filing, regulatory submission, contract option, tax filing, election deadline, etc.), you must build your own buffer, use a higher-tier service class, or arrange direct delivery through a different vendor. Use of the Company's service for time-sensitive mail is at your sole risk. The Company expressly disclaims any role as your "deadline backstop" and shall not be liable for missed deadlines under any theory.
9A.6 Customer Responsibility for Document Content and Recipient Data
You are solely responsible for the contents of every document you submit and for the accuracy and completeness of every recipient address, return address, and instruction you provide. The Company does not review, edit, fact-check, redact, legally-vet, or compliance-screen the content of your documents. You represent and warrant that each document you submit (i) is your property or has been submitted with the lawful authorization of the rights-holder; (ii) does not violate any law, court order, regulatory rule, or third-party right; (iii) does not contain content prohibited by Section 8 (including without limitation child sexual abuse material, threats of violence, fraudulent communications, instruments of identity theft, weapons-trafficking communications, controlled-substance solicitations, or election-disinformation campaigns); (iv) does not impersonate any government agency, court, financial institution, healthcare provider, attorney, or other regulated entity in a manner reasonably likely to deceive recipients; and (v) is suitable for the service class you have selected.
Recipient and return-address accuracy. You are solely responsible for any typographical error, incomplete address, outdated address, wrong recipient, wrong return address, wrong document, or other inaccurate instruction entered by you, your personnel, your agent, or any tool using your credentials. The Company is not responsible for mail that is printed, dispatched, delayed, returned, misdelivered, undeliverable, or otherwise affected because the submitted document, recipient data, return address, or mailing instruction was incorrect.
Address validation is not a guarantee. Any address parsing, formatting, normalization, validation, autocomplete, carrier-rate lookup, or deliverability signal shown by the Platform or a service provider is provided on a best-effort basis only. Such signals may be incomplete, stale, unavailable, or wrong, and do not shift responsibility for the submitted recipient address, return address, delivery point, service class, or mailing instructions from you to the Company.
9A.6.1 Customer License to the Company
You grant the Company and its service providers, facility operators, print and mail partners, postage vendors, carriers, cloud and storage providers, identity providers, payment processors, and other processors a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable (solely to such service providers and partners) license to host, copy, transmit, render, convert, format, print, envelope, weigh, address, label, photograph, audit, log, retain, and otherwise process the documents, recipient and return addresses, instructions, metadata, and related content you submit through the Service, solely as necessary to provide, secure, support, bill, audit, troubleshoot, and improve the Service for you. This license terminates when the Company no longer needs the content to provide or support the Service or comply with its retention obligations under Section 16.5, whichever is later. This Section does not transfer ownership of your content; it grants the operating permissions the Company and its partners need to physically execute the Service you requested. Nothing in this Section requires the Company to preserve customer content for your later retrieval; post-fulfillment document storage and availability are governed by Section 16.4.1.
9A.7 Customer Responsibility for Agent and Tool Use
The Company provides cost caps (X-Max-Cost-Cents), daily-piece caps (max_daily_pieces), force-approval routing (force_approval), test-mode endpoints, dry-run pricing, and standing-instructions versioning (MAILBOX.md) as guardrails you may use to constrain agent behavior. The Company strongly recommends that you enable these guardrails before granting any autonomous tool live-send capabilities. The Company has no duty to enable, configure, or monitor these guardrails on your behalf, and shall have no liability for the consequences of agent behavior that you have not adequately constrained.
9A.7.1 Customer-Built Software, Scripts, and Internal Tools
The Company has no visibility into, and accepts no responsibility for, the design, architecture, security, testing, deployment, monitoring, or runtime behavior of your software. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company shall have no liability for: (a) any defect, bug, regression, race condition, infinite loop, runaway retry, mis-paginated batch, mis-mapped CSV, mis-templated document, or other malfunction in your software that causes unintended API calls, unintended outbound mail pieces, unintended charges, or unintended disclosure of recipient data; (b) any compromise, breach, exfiltration, or unauthorized use of your credentials, secrets, environment variables, or service accounts that occurs outside the Platform's control plane; (c) any harm caused by an LLM or model you operate (whether self-hosted, hosted by a third-party inference provider, or accessed through a model gateway), including hallucinations, jailbreaks, prompt-injection cascades, tool-use mistakes, mis-routed function calls, or autonomous decisions that produce unintended Platform activity; (d) any failure of your software to honor cost caps, daily-piece caps, force-approval routing, or other guardrails the Platform exposes; (e) any failure of your software to consume webhooks, ingest API responses, retry idempotently, or reconcile state with the Platform; or (f) any third-party harm or claim arising from a mail piece your software caused to be produced and dispatched. Every mail piece, charge, and API call originating from your software is deemed authorized by you and billable to you on the same terms as if you had executed the call yourself.
9A.8 Customer Responsibility for Tracking and Reconciliation
If your business workflow requires confirmation of dispatch or delivery for any outbound mail piece, you are responsible for monitoring the events the Platform surfaces (via webhook, REST, MCP, or dashboard) and for reconciling those events with your downstream system of record. The Company does not push redundant notifications, generate compliance reports, file delivery affidavits, monitor for missed deliveries, or escalate stalled tracking. If your agent fails to consume a webhook, your CRM fails to ingest a status update, or your downstream automation fails for any reason, the Company shall have no liability for the missed reconciliation.
9B. Not a Professional, Regulated, or Compliance Service
This Section 9B applies to all Members, all plans, and all uses of the Platform.
9B.1 Not a Tax, Accounting, Legal, Healthcare, or Government-Compliance Provider
The Company does not provide, and nothing on the Platform constitutes: legal advice; tax advice; accounting advice; healthcare advice; financial planning, investment, or fiduciary advice; immigration, visa, or naturalization advice; benefits administration; election, campaign, or lobbying compliance services; KYC/AML services for your business; OFAC sanctions screening of your recipients; general or corporate registered-agent services; process-server services; litigation representation; certified-copy services; apostille services; or any other regulated professional service. The limited mandatory California CMRA role described above is governed by the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and applicable law, cannot be used as a substitute for appointing a registered agent where one is legally required, and does not include appearing, accepting representation, advising, calendaring deadlines, or responding on your behalf.
9B.2 No HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, FERPA, ITAR, or Other Regulatory Coverage
The Company is not a HIPAA covered entity or business associate, has not entered into and will not enter into a HIPAA Business Associate Agreement with any Member, and is not configured for the handling of Protected Health Information (PHI). The Company is not a Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act (GLBA) financial institution. The Company is not PCI-DSS-certified for any data you submit (the Company's payment processing is handled by Stripe, which is PCI-DSS Level 1 certified, but documents you submit through the Platform are not handled under PCI-DSS controls). The Company is not FERPA-compliant. The Company does not handle ITAR-controlled technical data. The Company does not provide SOC 2 Type I or Type II attestation reports for its own operations.
If the contents of any document you submit through the outbound mail service are subject to HIPAA, GLBA, PCI-DSS, FERPA, ITAR, GDPR, the EU AI Act, state privacy laws, or any other regulatory framework that imposes specific data-handling, retention, or security obligations, you are solely responsible for determining whether the Platform's capabilities and security posture satisfy those obligations before you submit the document. The Company expressly disclaims responsibility for, and you indemnify the Company against, any regulatory enforcement action, agency penalty, civil fine, audit finding, breach-notification cost, or third-party claim arising out of or related to your use of the Platform to print or mail content subject to any such framework.
9B.3 No Responsibility for Your Deadlines, Filings, or Business Outcomes
You are solely responsible for: identifying, calendaring, and meeting any legal, regulatory, contractual, financial, governmental, court, tax, election, or business deadline that depends on the timely production, dispatch, or delivery of a mail piece sent through the Platform; building appropriate buffer into your workflow; selecting an appropriate service class; and arranging fallback delivery (e.g., hand delivery, courier, certified-mail-with-electronic-return-receipt, e-filing, or in-person filing) where the consequence of a missed deadline is material. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to print and dispatch your mail promptly, but, as set forth in Section 9A.5, makes no guarantee of timing and accepts no liability for missed deadlines, lost causes of action, foreclosed contractual rights, statutory penalties, late-filing fees, default judgments, missed elections, missed tax filings, or any other consequence of late or non-delivery.
9B.4 Use At Your Own Risk — All Tools and Interfaces
10.1 Plans — Outbound Mail (Generally Available)
The Company's generally-available plan is:
- Outbound + Inbound Forwarding ($0/mo base): Outbound mail API access plus a private alias for inbound mail context. No physical inbound receiving address, no Form 1583, no notarization. Member supplies return address and forwards any scans, photos, PDFs, notices, or notes from addresses Member already uses. Outbound mail is funded from prepaid mailbox.bot credits purchased by the Member: $2.50 per-piece handling + $0.30/page B&W printing plus the carrier postage estimate or rate shown in the outbound mail cost breakdown. Photo proof of mailing included. Color printing adds $0.40/page ($0.70/page total before handling and postage). Cost-cap, daily-piece-cap, dry-run, idempotency, queued cancellation, and test-mode controls included.
Current pricing for printing, postage, color, and any other per-piece line items is published on the Platform's website and in API responses. The Company may modify per-piece pricing with thirty (30) days' notice; pre-existing prepaid balances and any in-flight mail piece priced before the change are honored at the original rate.
10.1.A Mailbox Rental
- Mailbox rental: $15.00 per month, monthly only, with no minimum term or cancellation fee. Billing begins only upon activation. The shared monthly allowance is 30 non-junk mail pieces and a strict 5 eligible Packages. Packages must be no more than 20 pounds and 19 × 14 × 12 inches after sorting dimensions longest to shortest.
- Open & Scan: 2 request per month including its first 10 pages; additional requests and pages, storage, forwarding, photos, and company-arranged remote Form 1583 notarization follow Fee Schedule FS-1.3.
- Eligibility: Up to 2 approved natural people and 1 approved business name share all limits. Identity verification, a properly completed USPS Form 1583 witnessed or notarized through the approved workflow, facility approval, and express acceptance of the then-current Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and fee schedule are required before activation.
- Other warehouse, enterprise, or custom services: available only if expressly described in a separately accepted order or addendum.
See the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms v1.10 for the complete Fee Schedule FS-1.3. Only the version affirmatively accepted at activation, together with the Member's order and required recurring- and variable-charge authorizations, governs the mailbox rental. A mailing-address request alone creates no billing authorization.
10.1.1 Automatic Renewal — Notice of Auto-Renewal Terms
- Renewal cadence and amount: Your subscription will renew at the cadence and amount displayed at checkout and on your billing summary in the Operator Dashboard.
- How to cancel: You may cancel at any time, online and without speaking to the Company, through the Operator Dashboard (Account → Billing → Cancel Subscription) or by emailing the support address listed in Section 26 before the next renewal date. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the then-current billing period; you will retain access to paid features until that date.
- Pricing changes: Subject to applicable law, you agree that the Company may increase a renewal price prospectively for a bona fide business reason, including inflation; changes in service scope, quality, or capacity; or increased postage, carrier shipping or fuel-surcharge, labor, rent, utilities, insurance, security, compliance, technology, payment-processing, supplier, or other operating costs. An increase is not retroactive. For a California consumer, the Company will provide a clear and conspicuous, retainable notice of the fee change and how to cancel no fewer than 7 and no more than 30 days before it takes effect. The Company will follow any longer notice or additional-consent requirement that applies, and you may cancel before the applicable renewal to avoid the higher renewal price.
- California residents: This Section is intended to satisfy California Business and Professions Code §§ 17600 et seq. (the Automatic Renewal Law) and equivalent state laws. You may cancel online by the same method described above; no telephone call or written letter is required.
10.2 Usage-Based Fees
The Platform operates on a pay-for-what-you-use model. Generally-available outbound mail is funded from prepaid mailbox.bot credits purchased by the Member through Stripe Checkout. The cost of a live outbound mail piece is computed at submission or approval and debited from the Member's credit balance before facility fulfillment. Mailbox rental charges follow the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, fee schedule, authenticated action quote, and separate variable-charge authorization. A mailing-address request alone authorizes no charge.
Outbound mail (generally available):
- Handling: $2.50 per piece
- Printing: $0.30/page B&W rate (envelope and photo proof included)
- Postage: carrier postage estimate or configured carrier rate shown in the outbound mail cost breakdown
- Color printing: additional $0.40/page surcharge ($0.70/page total before handling and postage)
- Service-class surcharges and carrier adjustment fields where shown in the outbound mail cost breakdown
Mailbox rental charges under Fee Schedule FS-1.3 (after approval, activation, and separate variable-charge authorization):
- $0.50 for each non-junk mail piece after the 30-piece monthly allowance
- No paid package overage: the 5-Package monthly limit is strict
- $3.00 for each additional Open & Scan request; $0.10 for each page after page 10 in any request
- Mail storage after day 30: $0.05 per item per day; Package storage after day 7: $5.00 per Package per started 30-day period
- Package photos: $3.00 for up to 3 photos, then $1.00 per additional photo
- Forwarding: actual postage or carrier charge, materials, $2.00 for the first item, and $0.50 for each additional item consolidated into that shipment
- Company-arranged remote Form 1583 notarization: $25.00 (currently waived; $0.00 to the Customer)
The displayed authenticated quote or maximum must be approved before forwarding, carrier, postage, materials, package-photo, or nonstandard-handling charges are incurred. Live third-party postage, carrier, and fuel-surcharge amounts in a future action-specific quote may change when the provider's rate changes, but the Member must approve the displayed total or maximum for that action. Such a quote change is not authority to increase the recurring subscription or a fixed Company rate. Any Company price change will be prospective and made only to the extent permitted by applicable law and with required advance notice, cancellation opportunity, and consent.
10.3 Payment Method and Credits
Members must maintain billing information sufficient for the Service tier they use. Accepted payment methods are debit cards and credit cards issued by a financial institution. Prepaid cards, gift cards, virtual cards not linked to a bank account, and other anonymous or non-reloadable funding sources are not accepted and will be rejected during onboarding or checkout. The Company reserves the right to reject or remove any payment method that does not meet these requirements. By buying mailbox.bot credits or enrolling in a paid plan, you authorize the Company and its payment processor to charge your selected payment method for the amount shown at checkout. Failed payments, payment reversals, disputes, fraud signals, or negative credit balances may result in immediate service suspension.
10.4 Late Payments
Payments not received by the due date are subject to a late fee of 1.5% per month (18% per annum) or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. Accounts with payments more than thirty (30) days past due may be suspended or terminated.
10.5 Refund Policy
Subscription fees are non-refundable except as required by applicable law. Usage-based fees and credits already spent on services rendered are non-refundable. Eligible queued mail cancelled before printing starts may receive an internal credit return. Unused prepaid mailbox.bot credits may be refundable to the original payment method on request, account closure, or as required by law, subject to abuse review, payment-network limitations, and deduction of any credits already spent or reversed. If the Company terminates your account for reasons other than a violation of these Terms, you will receive a prorated refund of prepaid subscription fees for the unused portion of the current billing period.
10.6 Taxes
The Company's published fees include any sales or use taxes that apply to them, and the Company pays those taxes. You remain responsible for taxes on your own business.
11. Shipping Portal
11.1 Shipping Portal Service (ship.mailbox.bot)
The Platform provides a public shipping portal at ship.mailbox.bot that enables third-party senders (vendors, suppliers, contractors, or other parties) to ship Packages to a Member's Agent without knowing the Facility's physical address. The shipping portal generates pre-addressed shipping labels that automatically route Packages to the correct Reference Code and Endpoint at the appropriate Facility.
This enables Agents to provide shipping instructions to external parties using their agent endpoint (e.g., agent-slug.mailbox.bot) while maintaining privacy of the physical Facility location.
11.2 Privacy of Physical Address
The physical Facility address is not publicly displayed on Agent profile pages or the shipping portal interface. The address is provided only to Members via authenticated API calls and the Operator Dashboard. The shipping portal may display only the Agent's name and the information necessary for the sender to generate a shipping label.
11.3 No Guarantee of Privacy
While the Company takes reasonable measures to limit public exposure of Facility addresses, the Company cannot guarantee that Facility addresses will remain confidential. Physical addresses may be discoverable through carrier tracking information, public records, or other means. The Company is not liable for any disclosure of Facility addresses through third-party systems or processes.
12. AI and Automated Systems
12.1 AI-Assisted Operations
The Platform utilizes artificial intelligence technologies, including large language models, computer vision systems, and automated workflows, in the provision of services. AI systems may be used for: document scanning and data extraction (OCR, field recognition); Package classification and routing; webhook payload generation; Agent profile and protocol configuration; customer support and communication; and anomaly detection and security monitoring.
12.2 Human-in-the-Loop
The Company employs human oversight for critical operations, including Package intake verification, Content Scan quality review, suspicious activity assessment, and law enforcement reporting decisions. However, human oversight does not guarantee detection of all errors, anomalies, or prohibited items.
12.3 AI Limitations
You acknowledge that AI-generated information may contain inaccuracies or errors, automated scanning may not detect all contents of a Package, AI systems may occasionally misclassify or misroute Packages, and the Company is not liable for errors attributable to AI processing.
12.4 Autonomous Agent Risk Acknowledgment
Mailbox.bot enables AI agents that can write code, manage budgets, close deals, and interact with physical commerce. Members who configure Agents to operate autonomously (e.g., automatically ordering hardware, receiving components, managing inventory, requesting forwarding, or initiating Content Scans via API without human review) acknowledge that they bear full responsibility for all actions taken by such Agents.
The Company is not liable for Packages ordered, received, forwarded, or disposed of by an Agent operating autonomously, even if the Agent's behavior is unintended, erroneous, or the result of a security compromise of the Agent's credentials. This includes but is not limited to: autonomous procurement decisions, budget overruns, incorrect forwarding destinations, or unintended content scan requests.
Members are strongly encouraged to implement spending limits, approval workflows, budget controls, and real-time monitoring for autonomous Agents. The Operator Dashboard provides human oversight capabilities for reviewing and controlling Agent activities.
12.5 Agentic Protocol and Third-Party Integration Risks
By using the Platform's agentic protocol integrations, you acknowledge and accept the following:
- Emerging Technology Risk — MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, and similar agentic protocols are experimental, open-source projects with many contributors and known and unknown security considerations. These protocols have not undergone the decades of hardening that traditional web standards have received. Security vulnerabilities, breaking changes, and protocol-level exploits may be discovered at any time.
- Third-Party Code and Dependencies — The Platform incorporates third-party libraries, SDKs, protocol implementations, and open-source components. The Company does not author, audit, or guarantee the security of third-party code. Vulnerabilities in upstream dependencies, protocol specifications, or third-party integrations may affect the Platform.
- Agent-to-Agent Communication Risks — When your Agent communicates with other agents, external services, or third-party systems via agentic protocols, the Company has no visibility into, control over, or responsibility for the security, behavior, or intent of external agents, endpoints, or services your Agent interacts with.
- Prompt Injection and Adversarial Inputs — AI agents operating through the Platform may be susceptible to prompt injection, adversarial inputs, data poisoning, jailbreaking, or other AI-specific attack vectors. The Company does not warrant that the Platform or its protocol integrations are resistant to such attacks.
- Credential and API Key Exposure — Agentic workflows involve API keys, bearer tokens, webhook secrets, and other credentials that traverse multiple systems and protocols. The Company is not liable for credential leakage, unauthorized access, or security breaches resulting from how your Agent, its framework, or third-party integrations handle credentials.
- Data Leakage Through Agentic Channels — AI agents may inadvertently transmit, expose, or log sensitive data (including personal information, package contents, addresses, and business data) through webhook payloads, protocol responses, agent-to-agent communications, or third-party integrations. The Company is not liable for data exposure that occurs through agentic channels, third-party protocol implementations, or your Agent's own behavior.
- Autonomous Decision-Making Errors — AI agents may make incorrect, unintended, or harmful decisions due to model hallucinations, misinterpretation of instructions, software bugs, or adversarial manipulation. The Company does not monitor, validate, or override autonomous agent decisions.
- No Security Guarantees for Open-Source Protocols — OpenClaw, MCP, A2A, and similar projects are community-driven with distributed contributor bases. The Company cannot guarantee that any protocol version, implementation, or update is free of security vulnerabilities, backdoors, or malicious contributions.
12.6 Contractors, Employees, and Personnel Disclaimer
The Company engages independent contractors, service providers, and personnel in the operation of the Platform, including but not limited to facility operators, software developers, security consultants, and support staff. The Company is not liable for the individual acts, omissions, errors, negligence, or misconduct of any contractor, employee, service provider, or personnel, except to the extent required by applicable law. This includes but is not limited to: unauthorized access to or disclosure of Member data by any individual; errors in package handling, scanning, or processing attributable to human or automated error; and any security breach or data incident caused by the acts or omissions of any individual associated with the Platform or its facilities.
13. Warranties and Disclaimers
13.1 Limited Warranty
The Company warrants that it will perform services in a professional and workmanlike manner consistent with general industry standards. This limited warranty is expressly in lieu of all other warranties, express or implied.
13.2 Comprehensive Disclaimer
The Company does not warrant that: the Platform will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure; that Packages will be received, stored, or forwarded without loss, damage, or delay; that Content Scans will be complete, accurate, or error-free; that the physical Facility will be accessible at all times; that webhooks will be delivered successfully or in real time; or that AI-generated data will be accurate or complete.
13.3 Third-Party Infrastructure and Service Provider Disclaimer
The Platform relies on third-party infrastructure and service providers including, but not limited to: cloud database and authentication providers; payment processors; identity verification services; email delivery services; phone carrier verification services; job queue and caching providers; cloud storage and hosting providers; AI model providers and inference APIs; notarization service providers; and domain registrars and DNS providers. These providers are independent companies with their own security practices, terms of service, and vulnerabilities.
The Company does not own, operate, audit, or control the infrastructure, source code, security practices, personnel, or data centers of any third-party provider. A security breach, data leak, service outage, data loss, unauthorized access, insider threat, or other incident at any third-party provider could affect the Platform and your data, even if the Company has implemented commercially reasonable security measures on its own systems.
By using the Platform, you acknowledge and accept the following:
- Third-Party Breach Risk — If a third-party provider used by the Platform suffers a security breach, data leak, or unauthorized access event, your data (including personal information, package records, identity verification data, payment information, and agent configurations) may be exposed, compromised, or lost. The Company is not liable for breaches originating at third-party providers, even where such breaches affect data the Company transmitted to or stored with that provider in the ordinary course of operating the Platform.
- Supply Chain Vulnerabilities — The Platform depends on a chain of third-party software, libraries, APIs, and services. A compromise at any point in this supply chain — including malicious updates to open-source dependencies, compromised API keys at a provider, or insider threats at a third-party company — could affect the Platform. The Company cannot guarantee the integrity of its entire supply chain.
- Service Availability — The Platform's availability depends on the availability of its third-party providers. Outages, degraded performance, rate limiting, API changes, or discontinuation of service by any third-party provider may cause the Platform to become temporarily or permanently unavailable, in whole or in part, without advance notice.
- Data Handling by Third Parties — When you use the Platform, your data is transmitted to and processed by third-party providers according to their own terms of service and privacy policies. The Company is not responsible for how third-party providers handle, store, retain, or dispose of your data once it is in their systems.
- AI Model Provider Risks — The Platform may use third-party AI models and inference APIs for features including auto-responder, content extraction, and document processing. These AI providers may log, retain, or train on data submitted through their APIs according to their own policies. The Company does not control third-party AI provider data retention or training practices.
- Evolving Cybersecurity Landscape — The cybersecurity threat landscape is evolving rapidly, particularly with the advent of AI-powered attacks, zero-day exploits, advanced persistent threats, and novel attack vectors that did not exist when the Platform or its third-party providers were designed. The Company implements commercially reasonable security practices but cannot guarantee protection against all current or future threats.
13.4 No Warranty on Package Contents
The Company makes no warranty or representation regarding the contents, value, condition, or fitness for purpose of any Package received at a Facility. The Company is a bailee, not an insurer, of Packages. The Member retains ownership; the Company holds temporary custody under a duty of reasonable care.
14. Limitation of Liability
14.1 Maximum Liability
14.2 Liability Cap
SUBJECT TO SECTION 14.2.1, THE COMPANY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE PLATFORM, ANY OUTBOUND MAIL PIECE, ANY API KEY, MCP TOKEN, OR WEBHOOK, OR THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL FEES PAID BY YOU TO THE COMPANY IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($500). THIS CAP APPLIES IN THE AGGREGATE TO ALL CLAIMS, ACROSS ALL THEORIES OF LIABILITY, AND IS NOT MULTIPLIED BY THE NUMBER OF MAIL PIECES, API CALLS, AGENTS, KEYS, OR INCIDENTS INVOLVED.
14.2.1 No Per-Mail-Piece Liability
Without limiting Section 14.2, the Company's liability for any individual outbound mail piece — including any allegation of late dispatch, late delivery, non-delivery, mis-delivery, return-to-sender, damage in transit, lost tracking, missed deadline, or consequential harm to your business or recipient relationship — shall not exceed the actual fees you paid for that specific mail piece (i.e., printing plus postage, plus any color or service-class surcharge). The Company shall have no liability for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages arising from any mail piece, including without limitation lost profits, lost contracts, missed deadlines, default judgments, statutory penalties, late fees, foreclosed legal rights, missed elections, missed tax-filing deadlines, business interruption, or harm to reputation, regardless of the theory of liability.
14.3 Specific Exclusions
The Company is specifically not liable for: loss, damage, or destruction of Packages due to fire, flood, earthquake, theft, vandalism, or other events beyond the Company's reasonable control; carrier delays, losses, or damages during transit; contents of Packages received on behalf of Members; actions taken by Agents or third parties; government or regulatory actions affecting Members or their Agents; or actions taken in cooperation with law enforcement.
Without limiting the foregoing, the Company is specifically not liable for any loss, cost, fee, missed deadline, misdelivery, disclosure, business consequence, or third-party claim arising from: (a) any wrong, incomplete, outdated, malformed, or otherwise inaccurate document, recipient, address, return address, instruction, metadata, or other information submitted by you, your personnel, your AI agent, or any tool using your credentials; or (b) any failure, delay, nonperformance, scan failure, tracking failure, loss, misdelivery, refusal, return-to-sender, or other act or omission by USPS, FedEx, UPS, DHL, or any other carrier after a mail piece or package has been tendered to that carrier.
Without limiting Section 16.4.1, the Company is also specifically not liable for any loss, deletion, corruption, expiration, unavailability, inability to download, inability to reconstruct, or failure to preserve any PDF, source document, generated print file, scan, image, attachment, mailing record, or other customer content after fulfillment.
The Company is also specifically not liable for any loss, cost, inconvenience, or damage arising from the acts, omissions, negligence, or underperformance of any independent facility operator, including but not limited to: late or inaccurate package scanning; failure to fulfill action requests in a timely manner; poor communication or unresponsiveness; mishandling, misattribution, or loss of Packages while in the facility's custody; facility closure, withdrawal from the network, or removal by the Company; the cost or inconvenience of changing your shipping address due to any facility change; delayed, returned, or lost Packages during a facility transition; and any business interruption resulting from a change in your assigned facility. The Company provides software infrastructure connecting you with independently operated facilities and is not a guarantor of any facility's performance, continuity, or solvency.
The package and facility exclusions in this Section 14.3 do not govern a managed inbound Item while the Company or an authorized Facility operator has actual possession or control. Sections 14.6 through 14.9, the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, and nonwaivable law govern that Item, including the applicable standard of care and responsibility for the Company's own contribution to a loss.
14.4 Agentic Protocol and Security Liability Exclusion
The agentic AI ecosystem is an emerging and rapidly evolving space. New attack vectors, security vulnerabilities, and failure modes are regularly discovered across all agentic protocols and frameworks. By using the Platform, you accept that perfect security is not achievable and that the Company cannot anticipate or prevent all potential security incidents in this evolving landscape. You use the Platform's agentic capabilities at your own risk.
14.5 Third-Party Infrastructure Provider Liability Exclusion
The Company selects third-party providers based on commercially reasonable evaluation of their security practices, compliance certifications, and industry reputation. However, the Company does not and cannot guarantee the security or reliability of any third-party provider. The Company's diligence in selecting providers does not create any warranty, guarantee, or additional liability with respect to those providers' performance or security. You acknowledge that your use of the Platform necessarily involves the transmission of your data to and through third-party systems, and you accept the inherent risks of that architecture.
14.6 Custodial Liability (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
For an activated managed inbound service in which the Company, its authorized personnel, or its facility operator takes actual possession or control of a Member's Package or mail, the applicable duties, ownership rules, risk allocation, exclusions, and liability limits are governed by the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and nonwaivable law. The Company will use at least the ordinary or other care required by applicable law while an Item is in that custody. Members remain responsible for maintaining appropriate insurance for high-value, fragile, irreplaceable, or time-sensitive Items, but that responsibility does not excuse the Company's breach of a required duty.
14.7 Physical Operations, Mail, and Package Liability Exclusion (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
The Item-specific and aggregate dollar caps, excluded damages, carrier-risk allocation, incident procedure, and exceptions for liability that cannot lawfully be limited are stated in Sections 6, 15, and 16 of the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms. Those limits apply only to the extent enforceable under applicable law and are not a promise of insurance. No general Platform clause creates blanket immunity for the Company's fraud, willful injury, gross negligence, violation of law, conversion to its own use, or other liability that applicable law does not permit it to exclude or limit.
14.8 USPS Mail and CMRA-Specific Liability Exclusion (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
For Members enrolled in virtual mailbox service at CMRA-registered facilities, the following additional limitations apply:
- USPS Compliance — The operator of the applicable CMRA, whether the Company or a separately owned facility operator, is responsible for maintaining its required USPS authorization and complying with applicable postal rules for mail receipt, storage, and forwarding. The applicable order or service disclosure will identify the operating arrangement. Nothing in these Terms disclaims a duty that applicable law imposes directly on the Company.
- Mail Loss and Mishandling — USPS mail handling involves manual sorting and physical-operation risk. The Company is not a postal carrier and does not guarantee delivery or error-free handling, but loss, opening error, wrong-box delivery, or internal misrouting while in actual Company or Facility custody is governed by the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and the care required by applicable law rather than a blanket exclusion.
- Legal Documents and Time-Sensitive Mail — Members who receive legal notices, court documents, tax correspondence, government communications, regulatory filings, or other time-sensitive documents must maintain counsel, calendars, independent monitoring, and backup contact methods. The Company does not guarantee timely processing, scanning, notification, understanding, or action, except that it remains responsible for nonwaivable statutory duties and for a breach to the extent applicable law provides.
- Check and Financial Instrument Handling — Checks, money orders, financial instruments, negotiable documents, and other items of monetary value carry heightened theft, alteration, and reissuance risk and should be insured or delivered through a more suitable service. The Company is not an insurer, but this warning does not excuse a breach of the care required while the Item is in actual custody.
- Mail Forwarding by USPS — The Company is not responsible for USPS's independent loss, delay, damage, or misdelivery after proper tender, except to the extent a Company address, label, packaging, handoff, or other act, omission, or breach caused or contributed to the loss.
- Form 1583 and Authorization — The Member must provide accurate, complete, current Form 1583 and identity information and promptly report required changes. The CMRA must maintain and update records and handle USPS mail as postal rules require. Responsibility for a return, hold, or refusal depends on the cause; the Member's duties do not excuse the CMRA's nonwaivable duties or its own contribution to an error.
14.9 Managed Mailbox Package Eligibility and Liability Allocation (Managed Mailbox Services Only)
An ineligible or over-limit Package may be refused at intake, returned to sender, quarantined, or otherwise handled as permitted by the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, at the Member's risk and expense. Subject to non-waivable law and the bailee duties expressly stated elsewhere in these Terms, the Company is not responsible for:
- A carrier's independent loss, damage, delay, refusal, misdelivery, or return before Company or Facility custody begins or after proper outbound carrier tender, except to the extent the Company's own act, omission, or breach contributed
- Return postage, carrier fees, storage charges, disposal costs, or other expenses caused by an ineligible or over-limit Package
- Items that are prohibited, unsafe, perishable, improperly addressed, lack the assigned PMB format, or otherwise violate the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms
- Business interruption, missed deliveries, or consequential damages arising from a refused, returned, delayed, or over-limit Package
- Third-party claims arising from a Member's instruction to send an ineligible or over-limit Package
Repeated package-limit or eligibility violations may result in refusal of future Packages, suspension, or termination. Members needing higher limits must arrange a separate service in a signed order; no upgrade or larger-package service is promised by the managed mailbox terms.
15. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Company and its affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, members, managers, governors, owners, founders, shareholders, officers, directors, employees, independent contractors, agents, representatives, licensors, service providers, payment processors, identity-verification providers, facility operators, print and mail partners, postage vendors, carriers, cloud and storage providers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnitees") from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, suits, proceedings, damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, settlements, fines, penalties, costs, and expenses of every kind (including without limitation reasonable attorneys' fees, expert fees, and investigative and audit costs) arising from or related to, or alleged to arise from or relate to:
- Your use of, or any access to, the Platform, including its REST API, MCP server, A2A endpoint, OpenClaw integration, webhook system, dashboard, and outbound mail service
- Any document, recipient, return address, instruction, metadata, or other content you (or any agent, framework, MCP client, A2A peer, third-party tool, or person using your credentials) submitted to the Platform
- Any mail piece printed, dispatched, or delivered (or not delivered, or delayed, or returned) through the outbound mail service on your behalf, including all consequential, business, financial, contractual, or personal effects of such mail piece on you or any third party
- Any business dealing, contract, transaction, dispute, demand, debt-collection effort, marketing campaign, fundraising solicitation, real-estate offer, legal notice, settlement communication, employment communication, or other private or commercial matter that you used the Platform to communicate, regardless of outcome and regardless of whether the recipient ultimately received the mail piece
- Any matter involving any government agency, regulatory body, court, taxing authority, election authority, immigration authority, healthcare regulator, or other governmental actor — including without limitation tax filings, tax payments, tax disputes, IRS or state-revenue communications, court filings, court-ordered service, regulatory submissions, license renewals, permit applications, government-benefits communications, immigration filings, voter communications, and any other government-facing matter — that you used or attempted to use the Platform to facilitate, regardless of whether the matter was timely, properly addressed, properly served, or successful
- Any service, transaction, or relationship between you and any third party (vendor, customer, recipient, partner, employer, employee, contractor, attorney, accountant, healthcare provider, financial institution, landlord, tenant, family member, or other) that you used the Platform to support
- Any deadline, due date, statute of limitations, contractual option, election deadline, election day, tax-filing deadline, court-filing deadline, regulatory deadline, opt-out deadline, or other time-sensitive obligation that you missed or failed to satisfy, regardless of whether the Platform was used in connection with that obligation
- Any consequence to you arising out of your use of the Platform for HIPAA-regulated, GLBA-regulated, PCI-DSS-regulated, FERPA-regulated, ITAR-regulated, GDPR-regulated, state-privacy-law-regulated, or otherwise specially-regulated content, where you elected to submit such content despite the Company's express disclaimers in Section 9B.2
- Your violation of these Terms or the Acceptable Use Policy
- Your violation of any applicable law, regulation, court order, contractual obligation, or third-party right
- The actions, omissions, decisions, errors, or misconduct of any Agent, agent framework, MCP client, A2A peer, OpenClaw integration, webhook receiver, or other tool or third-party software acting under your account or with your credentials, whether or not you intended such action
- Inaccurate, incomplete, expired, or fraudulent information you provided during registration, KYC, agent configuration, or at any other time
- Any claim that content you submitted infringed, misappropriated, or violated the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any person or entity
- Any claim by any recipient, intended recipient, third-party sender, carrier, postal authority, or other party arising from a mail piece you sent or attempted to send
- Any compromise, leak, theft, phishing, prompt-injection, social-engineering, or other unauthorized use of any API key, MCP token, webhook signing key, session cookie, or other credential issued to you, regardless of how the credential came into the hands of the actor that used it
- Any security breach, data leak, unauthorized access, or data exposure arising from your Agent's use of MCP, A2A, OpenClaw, REST, or any other protocol, framework, third-party tool, or open-source dependency
- Any loss or damage caused by prompt injection, adversarial inputs, model hallucinations, or other AI-specific attack vectors affecting your Agent or its operations on the Platform
- Any claim arising from your Agent's autonomous transmission, exposure, or mishandling of personal data, business data, recipient data, or other sensitive information through agentic communication channels
- Any claim arising from the acts, omissions, errors, or misconduct of your employees, contractors, service providers, or personnel in connection with the Platform
- Any claim against the Company arising from a security breach, data leak, or service failure at a third-party infrastructure provider, where your data was affected as a result of being stored on or transmitted through the Platform in the ordinary course of service
- (Activated managed inbound services only) A third-party claim caused by your unlawful or prohibited contents, unauthorized or inaccurate instruction, lack of authority, or material breach of the receiving rules, only to the extent and under the notice, defense, settlement, causation, and Company-fault limitations in Section 17 of the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms
The Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you shall fully cooperate with the Company in asserting any available defenses. You shall not settle any claim without the Company's prior written consent.
For an activated managed inbound service, Section 17 of the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms exclusively governs indemnification relating to an inbound Item. It does not require a Member to indemnify the Company against the Member's own direct property-loss claim or to the extent the claim is caused by a protected party's negligence, gross negligence, fraud, willful misconduct, violation of law, or breach of those Inbound Terms.
16. Data Security and Privacy
16.1 Data Collection — Privacy Snapshot
The Company collects and processes personal data as described in its Privacy Policy, available at mailbox.bot/privacy. By using the Platform, you acknowledge the collection and processing described therein. In summary: (a) the Company uses Google Analytics and PostHog as its only two analytics providers, both for its own first-party measurement; (b) the Company does not sell your personal information; (c) the Company does not share your personal information with any third party for that third party's own advertising, marketing, model-training, or data-brokerage purposes; (d) document content you submit through the outbound mail service, Form 1583 records, identification copies, and identifiable inbound mail content are not used to train AI models, licensed as data products, or commercially distributed; and (e) limited disclosure may occur only to protected operational service providers or transaction participants, at your direction, to USPS or governmental authorities as permitted or required by law, under valid legal process, to investigate or prevent fraud or safety threats as law permits, or in a genuine business transfer subject to continuing privacy restrictions.
16.2 Security Measures and Limitations
The Company implements commercially reasonable security measures to protect Member data, including: encryption of data at rest and in transit; access controls and authentication; security monitoring and logging; and regular security assessments.
The Company commits to: promptly investigating security incidents upon discovery; notifying affected Members as required by applicable law; cooperating with law enforcement in the event of a data breach; and taking commercially reasonable steps to remediate vulnerabilities within its own systems. However, the Company cannot remediate vulnerabilities in third-party provider systems and is dependent on those providers to secure their own infrastructure.
16.3 Verification Data
Verification data is processed by the Company's third-party providers (Stripe and Stripe Identity for payment-method authorization, Radar fraud screening, and document-based identity verification; Twilio for phone-carrier verification) and is subject to those providers' privacy policies and data-handling practices. The Company stores verification results, session identifiers, captured name, and masked card and phone identifiers. For outbound-only verification, the Company does not independently retain a copy of the underlying government-issued identity document after provider verification unless applicable law, valid legal process, or a documented legal hold requires it. For managed inbound CMRA service, the Company separately obtains and retains Form 1583 and copies of both required identification documents throughout service and for at least two years after service to the corresponding customer or addressee terminates, as California law requires, and uploads required records to the USPS CMRA Customer Registration Database.
16.4 Package and Mail Content Data
Package photographs, Content Scan images, mail scan images, OCR-extracted text, outbound mail documents, recipient and return addresses, provenance chain data, and associated metadata may be stored on the Platform in connection with fulfillment, support, security, billing, audit, and legal compliance. When such data is retained and made available through the Platform, it is accessible to you (the Member), your authorized Agents, and authorized Company personnel with a legitimate operational need.
Confidentiality and incidental handling access. The Company treats your mail, documents, scanned content, and outbound documents as confidential and will not intentionally read, review, or share their contents except as necessary to provide, secure, support, bill, audit, troubleshoot, or improve the Service; to comply with valid legal process or applicable law; to cooperate with law enforcement, regulators, or other authorities under these Terms; to protect safety or prevent abuse; or with your consent. You acknowledge that physical mail services require human mail handlers and service providers to print documents, place pages into envelopes, verify page counts, inspect for production quality, label mail pieces, scan or photograph items when requested, and perform related handling tasks. Incidental viewing of portions of a page may occur during those ordinary production and handling steps, without any intent to inspect the substance of your communications. By using the Service, you consent to this limited incidental viewing by authorized mail handlers and service providers as necessary to perform the Service.
Service-provider disclosure (necessary to operate the Service). You acknowledge that delivery of the Service necessarily requires sharing certain content and metadata with service providers and partners. The Company may disclose your documents, recipient and return addresses, instructions, metadata, and related information to its service providers, print and mail partners, facility operators, postage vendors, carriers (USPS, FedEx, UPS, and others), cloud and storage providers, identity-verification providers, payment processors, communications providers, support and customer-service vendors, security and fraud-prevention vendors, analytics providers (limited to Google Analytics and PostHog as described in Section 16.1), and other processors, in each case solely as necessary to provide, secure, support, bill, audit, troubleshoot, or improve the Service. Such disclosures are made under contractual confidentiality and use-restriction protections appropriate to the data involved.
What we will not do. The Company will not sell, rent, license, or commercially distribute Form 1583 information, identification copies, or the contents of your mail, packages, scanned documents, or outbound documents to any third party for that party's own marketing, advertising, profiling, data-brokerage, or AI-model-training purposes. Those records will not otherwise be disclosed except (a) to the protected service providers and transactional participants described above when reasonably necessary, (b) to USPS or governmental authorities as postal or other law permits or requires, (c) as required by valid legal process or applicable law, (d) pursuant to the lawful cooperation provisions in Section 9, (e) to protect the safety of personnel, Members, or the public as law permits, (f) in a genuine business transfer subject to continuing privacy restrictions, or (g) at your direction or with legally sufficient consent. The Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms provide the additional data-protection and retention rules applicable to managed inbound service.
16.4.1 No Document Archive or Post-Fulfillment Storage Obligation
You are solely responsible for keeping your own copies of every PDF, source document, attachment, generated print file, mailing record, recipient list, and other content you submit or cause to be submitted through the Service. By using the Service, you acknowledge and agree that the Company has no duty to store, preserve, archive, return, retrieve, reproduce, reprint, resend, certify, or provide copies of those documents for you after fulfillment, and that you should not rely on the Platform as your system of record.
The Company will not be liable for any loss, deletion, corruption, expiration, unavailability, inability to download, inability to reconstruct, or failure to preserve any such document or content, regardless of the legal, financial, operational, or personal consequence to you. Any retention of metadata, billing records, audit logs, photo proof, tracking data, support records, or legally required records does not create an obligation to retain the underlying document content or to make retained content available to you.
16.5 Data Retention
The Company retains Member data, Package records, activity logs, and non-CMRA verification metadata for the periods stated in the Privacy Policy or as otherwise required by law. Managed inbound Form 1583 records and both required identification copies follow the separate California retention period stated in Section 5.5 and the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms. This retention statement does not require the Company to retain underlying PDFs, source documents, outbound mail files, scans, images, attachments, or other customer content after the Company no longer needs them to provide the Service or satisfy operational, security, fraud-prevention, billing, audit, support, legal, or compliance purposes.
17. Intellectual Property
17.1 Company Property
All content, features, functionality, trademarks, service marks, and trade dress of the Platform are the exclusive property of the Company and are protected by applicable intellectual property laws. "Mailbox.bot," the Mailbox.bot logo, and related marks are trademarks of Golden Ratio, LLC.
17.2 License to Use
The Company grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Platform in accordance with these Terms. This license does not include the right to sublicense, resell, or distribute access to the Platform.
17.3 Aggregated Operational Telemetry
What we do not use to train AI. The Company does not use the contents of your documents, mail pieces, packages, scanned content, recipient names, recipient or return addresses, or other Customer Content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or improve any artificial-intelligence or machine-learning model, whether operated by the Company or by any third party.
What we do use. You grant the Company a perpetual, royalty-free, worldwide license to use aggregated operational telemetry derived from your use of the Platform — for example, latency, error rates, queue depth, postage-class mix, conversion-tier outcomes, anonymized product analytics, and similar engineering and reliability metrics — for the purposes of operating, securing, and improving the Service and producing anonymized internal or industry reports that do not identify you or expose Customer Content. Aggregated telemetry will not include document contents, recipient PII, or other identifying details about specific mail pieces. You may opt out of inclusion of your account in non-essential aggregated reporting (security, billing, fraud-prevention, and reliability telemetry are essential to the Service and not subject to opt-out) by emailing with the subject "Opt-Out: Aggregated Telemetry."
18. Termination
18.1 Termination by Member
You may terminate your account at any time through the Operator Dashboard or by emailing . Cancellation of an activated managed inbound subscription, remaining Items, storage, forwarding, post-termination mail, and continuing postal or California duties are governed by the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and Section 18.3.1. Termination does not automatically transfer ownership of an Item or authorize its destruction.
18.2 Termination by Company
Without limiting the foregoing, examples of conduct or circumstances that may, in the Company's good-faith judgment, lead to immediate suspension or termination include: (a) actual or attempted hacking, credential stuffing, brute-force, scraping, automation abuse, denial-of-service, prompt-injection attacks, or other unauthorized access to the Platform or to other Members' accounts, agents, mail, or data; (b) fraud, money laundering, terrorism financing, sanctions evasion, identity theft, payment-card abuse, or chargeback abuse; (c) use of the Platform to send threatening, harassing, defamatory, fraudulent, deceptive, extortionate, scam, phishing, or stalking mail, or mail intended to facilitate any unlawful act; (d) impersonation of a government agency, court, attorney, healthcare provider, financial institution, or other party in a manner reasonably likely to deceive recipients; (e) violation of these Terms or the AUP; (f) failed, expired, or fraudulent KYC verification; (g) sanctions or watchlist match; (h) lawful law-enforcement, regulatory, or court request; (i) repeated chargebacks or non-payment of fees; (j) repeated bad-faith, abusive, harassing, or knowingly false complaints, disputes, or support escalations after the Company has documented that requested work, communication, or service activity was performed; (k) repeated or habitual erroneous, unsafe, malformed, non-compliant, or operationally disruptive orders or API requests by any Agent, LLM, agent framework, MCP client, A2A peer, OpenClaw integration, webhook receiver, script, or other tool using your credentials, including after the Company has provided clear documentation, API responses, notices, or support guidance; or (l) other risk, compliance, carrier, payment, security, or platform-integrity concerns identified by the Company.
The Company is not required to disclose the reason for any suspension or termination, except where disclosure is required by applicable law, and may decline to disclose where required by law or by an active investigation. Nothing in this Section limits any non-waivable right or remedy you may have under applicable law.
18.3 Effect of Termination — Outbound Mail (Generally Available)
Upon cancellation or termination of an outbound-mail account, the following operational rules apply:
- Credential revocation. All API keys, MCP tokens, agent credentials (including sk_agent_, sk_agent_test_, and webhook signing keys), and active sessions are revoked at the effective time of cancellation. Subsequent API calls using revoked credentials will be rejected.
- Pending mail pieces. Mail pieces that have not yet entered production at the effective time of cancellation will be cancelled, and eligible prepaid credits will be returned internally. Mail pieces in production (printing, enveloping, or postage-applied) may, at the Company's option, be (a) completed and dispatched with the applicable credits retained, or (b) cancelled with an internal credit return for cost components not yet incurred. Mail pieces already tendered to a carrier are non-cancellable and non-refundable; carrier custody and Section 9A.2 risk allocation control.
- Non-refundability. Postage and printing costs already incurred are non-refundable. Subscription fees and unused prepaid credits follow Section 10.5. Approved-and-funded outbound mail is non-refundable except as set forth above or as required by law.
- Pre-cancellation liability. You remain liable for all fees, credit debits, postage, printing, surcharges, and reasonable costs incurred prior to the effective time of cancellation, including any payment reversals, disputes, or charges that settle after cancellation but relate to activity prior to cancellation.
- Data retention. Account, transaction, audit, and content data are retained per Section 16.5 (account duration plus five years, or as required by law). Webhook event records, audit logs, and KYC records are retained as described elsewhere in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
- Account reactivation. Reactivation of a cancelled account, where permitted by the Company, may require re-verification of identity and acceptance of then-current Terms.
18.3.1 Effect of Termination — Managed Inbound Services
For a Member with an activated managed inbound service, cancellation, termination, remaining property, and post-termination mail are governed by the accepted Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and applicable postal and California law. In summary:
- Automatic renewal may be canceled through the online Billing workflow or support channel; stopping renewal is immediate, while service ordinarily remains active through the end of the already-paid billing period unless an earlier closure or termination is confirmed.
- The Member remains responsible for prior charges, approved pending work, storage, forwarding, postage, carrier, and other lawful costs. Cancellation does not authorize automatic destruction or transfer title to mail or property.
- Non-USPS Packages and property follow the notice, custody, storage, and lawful-disposition process in the Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms; expiration of a contractual period does not by itself transfer ownership to the Company.
- USPS mail and Form 1583 records remain subject to controlling post-termination remailing, new-postage, database-update, retention, and service-of-process duties, including duties that continue despite nonpayment or revocation of automatic-debit authority.
18.4 Survival
The following provisions survive termination: KYC record retention (Section 5.5); Law Enforcement Cooperation (Section 9); Limitation of Liability (Section 14); Indemnification (Section 15); Data Retention (Section 16.5); Dispute Resolution (Section 20); and Governing Law (Section 21).
19. Force Majeure
The Company shall not be liable for any failure or delay in performance due to causes beyond its reasonable control, including but not limited to: acts of God, natural disasters, pandemics, epidemics; government actions or orders, war, terrorism, civil unrest; strikes, labor disputes; carrier service interruptions; power or internet outages; cyberattacks, ransomware, distributed denial-of-service attacks, data breaches, or other malicious cyber activity targeting the Company or any of its third-party infrastructure providers; security breaches, outages, data loss, or service failures at any third-party provider, cloud service, database provider, authentication service, payment processor, or other infrastructure component used by the Platform; zero-day exploits, novel AI-powered attack vectors, or advanced persistent threats that were not reasonably foreseeable or preventable at the time of occurrence; supply chain compromises, including malicious updates to open-source software dependencies or third-party libraries; regulatory actions, sanctions, or compliance requirements imposed by any government authority that affect the Company or its providers; or any other event beyond the Company's reasonable control.
20. Dispute Resolution and Arbitration
20.1 Mandatory Arbitration
Applicable AAA rules. If you are an individual using the Service for personal, family, or household purposes, the arbitration will be administered under the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules. If you are using the Service in a business, commercial, or developer capacity (including any business-entity Member, any Member operating an AI agent for commercial purposes, and any Member using the outbound mail API or MCP server in production workflows), the arbitration will be administered under the AAA Commercial Arbitration Rules. The current rules are available at adr.org. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Section.
20.2 Class Action Waiver
20.3 Pre-Arbitration Resolution
Before initiating arbitration, the party with a dispute must give the other party written notice describing the dispute and the relief sought, sent to the address in Section 26 (for the Company) or your account contact information (for you). The parties shall attempt in good faith to resolve the dispute informally for sixty (60) days before either party may commence arbitration.
20.4 Arbitration Fees
Filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be allocated as set forth in the applicable AAA rules. For consumer arbitrations governed by the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules, the Company will pay the portion of fees designated as the business's responsibility under those rules; you remain responsible only for the consumer filing fee (or such lesser amount as the AAA rules require). Each party otherwise bears its own attorneys' fees and costs unless a statute or court order allocates fees differently.
20.5 Carveouts — Court May Hear Certain Matters
Notwithstanding the arbitration agreement, either party may: (a) bring an individual action in small-claims court in the county of the responding party's residence (or, for a business, principal place of business), so long as the action remains in small-claims court and is not removed or appealed to a court of general jurisdiction; and (b) seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to address actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual-property rights, unauthorized access to or misuse of the Service, credential theft, or breaches of confidentiality, security, or data-protection obligations, pending the appointment of an arbitrator and selection of an arbitral seat. The filing of such an action does not waive the right to compel arbitration of all other claims.
20.6 Opt-Out
You may opt out of this Section 20 (other than the small-claims and injunctive-relief carveouts in Section 20.5, which remain available to both parties) by sending written notice to Golden Ratio, LLC, 3556 S 5600 W #1-1038, West Valley City, UT 84120, within thirty (30) days of first accepting these Terms. The notice must include your name, account email, and a clear statement that you opt out of arbitration.
20.7 Statute of Limitations
Any claim must be filed within one (1) year after the cause of action accrued, or it will be permanently barred, except where applicable law prohibits a contractual reduction of the statute of limitations.
20.8 Non-Waiver of Statutory Consumer Rights
Nothing in these Terms or in this Section 20 limits or waives any right or remedy that, under applicable law, may not be limited or waived by contract, including any non-waivable rights under state or federal consumer-protection law. To the extent any provision of Section 20 is held unenforceable as applied to a particular claim or party, that provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, and the remainder of Section 20 shall continue in full force.
21. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah, without regard to conflict of law principles. For matters not subject to arbitration, you submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts in Salt Lake County, Utah.
22. Special Provisions for California Residents
22.1 California Consumer Rights Notice
Pursuant to California Civil Code §1789.3, California residents may contact the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services at 1625 North Market Blvd., Suite N 112, Sacramento, CA 95834, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
22.2 CCPA Rights
If the California Consumer Privacy Act applies, additional terms may apply as set forth in the Company's Privacy Policy.
23. SMS Communications
By opting in to SMS communications during account registration, you consent to receive text messages from mailbox.bot (operated by Golden Ratio, LLC) at the phone number you provide. These messages may include:
- Alerts when new mail or packages arrive at your mailbox
- Account and service updates (e.g., mail forwarded, scanned, or dispatched)
- Replies from our support team when you text us with questions
Message frequency varies based on your mail volume and support interactions. Message and data rates may apply depending on your mobile carrier and plan.

We will not sell, rent, or share your phone number with third parties for marketing purposes. SMS messages are sent via Twilio, our telecommunications provider, solely for the purposes described above.
24. Changes to Terms
The Company reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time. Material changes will be posted at least thirty (30) days before the effective date and communicated via email and/or webhook notification. Continued use of the Platform after the effective date of changes constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept material changes, you may terminate your account within thirty (30) days without penalty.
25. Miscellaneous Provisions
25.1 Entire Agreement
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Acceptable Use Policy and, if you expressly accept them for an activated service, the applicable Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms, fee schedule, order or checkout disclosures, and addenda, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Platform. For managed inbound service, a specifically accepted order controls over the service-specific Inbound Mailbox Rental Terms and fee schedule, which control over conflicting provisions of these general Terms. A mailing address request, marketing statement, or agreement that you have not accepted does not create a service commitment, address assignment, or billing authorization.
25.2 Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law.
25.3 No Waiver
The Company's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms does not constitute a waiver of that provision or any other provision.
25.4 Assignment
You may not assign or transfer these Terms without the Company's prior written consent. The Company may freely assign these Terms.
25.5 Electronic Communications
You consent to receive communications from the Company electronically, including via email, webhook, API response, and the Operator Dashboard. You agree that all agreements, notices, disclosures, and other communications provided electronically satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing.
25.6 Relationship of Parties
Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, employment, or agency relationship between you and the Company. The Company is an independent contractor providing platform services.
25.7 Third-Party Beneficiaries
These Terms do not create any third-party beneficiary rights in any individual or entity that is not a party to these Terms.
25.8 Headings
Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
