Terms of Service

Last updated 27 September 2026

What this is

Dispatch is a portfolio project that demonstrates an email API. It is not a commercial service, there is no paid plan, and there is no service level agreement. It can be taken offline at any time without notice.

Using it

  • Send only to people who asked to hear from you, and only from domains you control.
  • Send nothing unlawful, and nothing AWS's acceptable use policy prohibits. AWS carries the mail, so its rules apply to your sends alongside these.
  • Requests are limited to 10 per 10 seconds per API key. Over that limit the api returns 429 with a Retry-After header.
  • Keep your API keys secret. Anything sent with your key counts as sent by you.

Your content

The templates and email bodies you write stay yours. Dispatch stores them and sends them to run the service, and does nothing else with them.

No warranty

Dispatch is provided as is, with no warranty of any kind. It may lose a queued email, report a status late, or stop working. Do not use it for anything you cannot afford to have fail.

Ending it

Delete your account whenever you like, from the Danger zone on your profile. Your account may also be removed, along with the whole service, without notice.
