Terms of Service

1. Who we are

CoveSMS (“we”) is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [REGISTERED ADDRESS]. By creating an account you agree to these terms, our Privacy Policy and our Acceptable Use Policy.

2. The service

We rent temporary, receive-only mobile numbers for receiving SMS verification codes. Each number is for one verification on one app and is reserved for 20 minutes. Numbers are not for calls, outgoing messages, long-term use or account recovery.

Third-party apps decide whether to accept a number and may restrict accounts verified with one. We don’t control those decisions.

3. Your account

You must be at least 18 and give accurate information. You’re responsible for keeping your password safe and for activity on your account. We recommend two-factor login. Using several accounts to abuse bonuses, referrals or refunds is not allowed.

4. Balance and payments

The service is prepaid. Card top-ups start at $5 and are processed by Stripe; crypto top-ups start at $10 and are processed by our payment provider. Prices are in US dollars, vary by app and country, and are shown before you buy. The price at purchase is the price you pay.

Your balance doesn’t expire while your account is active, earns no interest, isn’t a bank deposit and can’t be transferred.

5. Refunds

If no SMS reaches a number within 20 minutes, the price returns to your balance automatically. You can cancel a number with no SMS after 2 minutes for an instant refund. Once an SMS is delivered, the purchase is final, even if the app later rejects the code.

Unused paid balance can be refunded to the original payment method on request within [X] days of the top-up, minus processing fees, unless the account was closed for a breach. Bonus credit is never refundable. Nothing here limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.

6. Chargebacks

If you dispute a payment with your bank instead of contacting us, we may suspend the account and remove the disputed amount and its bonus from your balance while the dispute is open.

7. Acceptable use

You may use numbers only for your own legitimate accounts. The full list of what’s not allowed is in the Acceptable Use Policy. We may cancel purchases, block numbers or apps, and suspend or close accounts that break it.

8. API

API access follows these terms. Keys are personal and limited to 120 requests per minute. Resellers must bind their customers to rules at least as strict as our Acceptable Use Policy.

9. Availability and liability

Stock and prices change. We aim for high availability but don’t guarantee that a specific app, country or number will be available or accepted. To the extent the law allows, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the 3 months before the claim.

10. Intellectual property

The CoveSMS name, logo, website and software belong to us. App names mentioned on the site belong to their owners; we’re not affiliated with them.

11. Changes and ending

We may update these terms and will tell you about material changes in advance. You can close your account at any time from Account settings.

12. Law and contact

These terms are governed by the laws of [JURISDICTION], without removing protections you have as a consumer where you live. Questions: support@covesms.com.
