Terms of use
Last updated 2026-07-14. PlainDMARC is live in early access: the monitoring service works as described, plans are free while we onboard the first agencies, and billing starts only after clear advance notice.
What's available today
- Free checker tools (DMARC, SPF, DKIM record checkers and the DMARC generator). These run in your browser and are provided free of charge, "as is," for informational purposes.
- The monitoring service: create an account, add your domains, and receive weekly plain-English DMARC verdicts and white-label client reports. Creating an account during early access creates no payment obligation.
Acceptable use
Please use the tools only for domains you own or are authorized to assess, and don't attempt to disrupt, overload, or reverse-engineer the service. We may rate-limit or block abusive traffic.
No warranty
The checker tools query public DNS and explain the results in plain English. They are provided without warranty of any kind; results may be incomplete or, in edge cases, wrong. Do not rely on them as your sole source of truth for a production email configuration.
The monitoring service
- During early access, all plans are free. When billing begins, you will get clear advance notice, and paid plans (Solo, Agency, Agency+) will be billed at the prices shown on the site — one flat price covers every domain on your plan. No charge is ever applied retroactively.
- You may cancel at any time; account and report data are deleted within 30 days of cancellation (see the privacy policy).
- White-label client reports are branded with your logo and sender name but are always sent from a PlainDMARC address with your address as reply-to — we never send mail as your domain.
Billing, cancellation & refunds
- Paid subscriptions are billed monthly through our payment provider and merchant of record, Paddle. Paddle handles payment, applicable taxes, and refund processing; their buyer terms apply to the purchase.
- 14-day refund policy: if PlainDMARC isn't right for you, request a full refund within 14 days of your first purchase — email hello@plaindmarc.com or use the Paddle receipt link, no questions asked.
- Cancel anytime: cancelling in the billing portal stops the next renewal immediately; your plan stays active until the end of the paid period, then the account returns to the free tier. Renewal charges are not refunded outside the 14-day window except where required by law.
