terms of use

The plain version.

Last updated: May 2026

1. What this is

msgforyou.in is a free service that lets you create a one-time-view, end-to-end-encrypted text message and share a link to it. By using the site, you agree to these terms.

2. No account, no recovery

There's no signup. We don't know who you are. The encryption key lives only in the link — if you lose the link, the message is unrecoverable. Once a message is opened or expires (24 hours by default), it is gone forever. We can't bring it back, and we won't try.

3. What you can't use this for

You agree not to use msgforyou.in to:

  • Harass, threaten, stalk, or intimidate any person.
  • Send sexual or abusive content directed at minors.
  • Send spam, scams, phishing links, or malware.
  • Distribute content that is illegal under Indian law.
  • Attempt to break, abuse, or overload the service.

Because messages are encrypted client-side, we cannot read them. That doesn't make misuse acceptable — it makes you fully responsible for what you send.

4. Reports & removal

If a link is being used to harass someone, the recipient (or anyone with the link) can simply not open it — that's usually enough, since unopened messages auto-expire. If you need a specific message-slug taken down for a serious reason, contact us and we'll invalidate it.

5. No warranty

The service is provided as-is. We don't guarantee uptime, delivery, or that a message will be available for the full 24 hours. We don't guarantee anything we don't control — including whoever you choose to share a link with.

6. Liability

To the extent allowed by law, we're not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of the site. The service is free; the cap on any direct liability is, practically, zero.

7. Changes

We may update these terms occasionally. Significant changes will be reflected by the updated date at the top. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

8. Jurisdiction

These terms are governed by the laws of India. Any disputes are subject to courts in India.
