Terms of Service
The rules for using Neir. Be decent, don't break Swedish law, and we'll get along fine.
Acceptable use
Your account may not be used to send spam, phishing, malware, or content that sexualizes minors. Violations may result in the immediate disabling of email sending and receiving without notice. We do not delete accounts as an enforcement measure for violations of these terms.
Free service
Email is provided free of charge and as-is, with a default storage quota per account. We aim for high availability but do not guarantee uninterrupted service.
Private anti-abuse proof
Creating an account on the main site requires completing short bounded and memory-hard cryptographic computations in your browser; on this no-JS site, the same check is gated by a self-hosted image CAPTCHA instead (see How it works). Neither mechanism identifies you, uses third-party CAPTCHA/tracking/fingerprinting, or varies by IP reputation, VPN, or Tor status. You may not bypass, replay, outsource, or manipulate either mechanism to create accounts in bulk.
No KYC
Neir does not and will never require identity verification or know-your-customer (KYC) checks to create or use a mailbox. We will not require a legal name, government ID, selfie, proof of address, phone verification, date of birth, recovery email, or other real-world identity record as a condition of access.
Privacy and system boundaries
Our Privacy Policy describes the data needed to operate conventional email. No-KYC does not make internet email anonymous or zero-access: addressing metadata, operational security logs, standards-compatible mailbox copies, and message content processed by SMTP/IMAP exist as described there.
Your Account Key and recovery phrase
There is no password on this system. Your Account Key is the only way in, and a 12-word recovery phrase (shown once, at signup) is the only backup to it. You are solely responsible for storing both safely. If you lose both, we cannot recover your account: we hold only one-way hashes of each, not the originals, so there is nothing on our end to reset.
Account restrictions and deletion
You may delete your account at any time from Settings. This is immediate and irreversible. Neir will not terminate or delete your account because of a violation of these terms. Instead, we may disable the account's ability to send and receive email. An account will otherwise be deleted only at the account holder's request or when deletion is required by applicable Swedish law.
