Terms of Service
1. Who we are
This website and the services on it are operated by Visolute Pty Ltd, trading as DMARCLoop, registered in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia ("we", "us", "our"). You can reach us at [email protected].
2. What these terms cover
These terms apply to your use of dmarcloop.com, the free
DNS and email-authentication tools published on it, the public API
those tools call, and the contact form (together, the "Services").
By using the Services you agree to these terms. If you don't agree,
don't use them.
They do not cover the DMARCLoop monitoring product, which is not yet available. Separate terms will apply to that when it launches, and we'll present them before you can sign up for it.
3. The free tools
The tools query publicly published DNS records — SPF, DKIM, DMARC, MX, MTA-STS and TLS-RPT — for a domain you supply, and in the MTA-STS case fetch the policy file that RFC 8461 requires to be publicly served. They read public data. They do not attempt access to any system, do not send mail, and do not test authentication against a live mail flow.
Some tools run entirely in your browser and send nothing to us at all — the DMARC Record Wizard, the MTA-STS Policy Generator, and the XML-to-human Converter. Aggregate report files you open in the converter are parsed locally and are never uploaded.
You may use the tools for any lawful purpose, including commercially and on behalf of clients, at no charge and without an account. We apply rate limits to keep them available for everyone.
4. Accuracy, and what the results are not
The Services report what public DNS returned at the moment of the query and apply a published set of rules to it. DNS is cached, propagates unevenly, and can differ between resolvers, so a result is a point-in-time observation and not a guarantee of what any given mail receiver will see.
Findings are informational, not advice. Publishing a
DMARC policy of quarantine or reject can
cause legitimate mail to be filtered or refused if a sending source
has been missed. You are responsible for reviewing any DNS change
before you make it, and for the consequences of making it. Nothing the
Services output is a substitute for your own verification.
5. Acceptable use
You agree not to:
- use the Services to support unauthorised access to, or reconnaissance against, any system you don't own or aren't authorised to assess;
- circumvent rate limits, or submit automated volume that degrades the Services for others;
- attempt to disrupt, probe or reverse the infrastructure behind the Services, or use them to relay or amplify traffic to a third party;
- submit anything to the contact form that is unlawful, misleading, or an address you don't control;
- resell or rebrand the Services as your own product.
We may rate-limit, block or withdraw access where we reasonably believe this clause is being breached.
6. Availability
The Services are provided free of charge and without any uptime commitment. We may change, suspend or withdraw any part of them, including individual tools, at any time and without notice. We aim to keep them running and to warn people about material changes where it's practical, but that's an intention, not a service level.
7. Intellectual property
The site, its content, the DMARCLoop name and marks, and the software behind the Services belong to us or our licensors. Using the Services grants you no rights in them beyond using them as described here.
The output of a check — the records read, the findings and the remediation text produced for a domain you queried — is yours to use, including in reports to your own clients.
8. Consumer guarantees
If you are a consumer in Australia, the Australian Consumer Law gives you guarantees that cannot be excluded, restricted or modified. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies those guarantees. Where we are permitted to limit our liability for a failure to comply with such a guarantee, our liability is limited to re-supplying the relevant service.
9. Liability
Subject to clause 8, and to the extent permitted by law: the Services are provided "as is"; we exclude all warranties not expressly given here; and we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, loss of profit, loss of business, or loss of or damage to data arising from your use of the Services or from any DNS change you make.
Subject to clause 8, our total aggregate liability arising out of the Services is limited to AUD $100. That figure reflects that the Services are supplied free of charge.
10. Third parties
The Services run on Amazon Web Services and use self-hosted Umami for analytics. The site links to external documents, RFCs and registrar documentation we don't control and aren't responsible for. The privacy policy lists the providers that handle data on our behalf.
11. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. The "last updated" date above changes when we do. Continuing to use the Services after a change means you accept the updated terms; if a change is material we'll make it visible rather than relying on that date alone.
12. Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you and we submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and the courts able to hear appeals from them.
13. Contact
