Terms of service

The service

VerifyWith is run by [company legal name] (“we”, “us”). We rent you a private United States phone number for the length of time you choose, so you can receive text messages on it, for example verification codes. Numbers are receive-only: they can’t send texts, make calls or receive calls.

The number is provided to us by a telecommunications supplier. You rent the use of it; you don’t own it, and you can’t move it to another provider. When your rental ends, the number may be given to someone else.

Your account

You sign in with an email code, Apple, Google or a passkey. You must be at least 18, and the details you give us must be true. Keep access to your email and devices secure: anyone who can sign in as you can see your texts and use your saved cards on this site.

Paying

Prices are shown in US dollars before you pay, and that is the amount we charge. Your bank may add its own fees, for example for a foreign transaction. We take Visa and Mastercard. Payments are processed by Stripe; we never see or store your full card number.

When you get a number, we place a hold for its price on your card and take the payment when the number’s first text arrives, or 24 hours after purchase, whichever is first. If we can’t provide a number, we release the hold and you aren’t charged.

Your card is saved. When you pay, you agree that we may save your card with Stripe and charge it later for extensions you ask for, for renewals you turned on, and for purchases made with an API key you created, within that key’s limits. You can remove a card at any time in your account.

Renewals

Auto-renew is off unless you turn it on. When it’s on, your number renews for the same length of time, at the price you first paid for it, until you turn it off. We email you before each renewal with the date and the exact amount. The renewal is charged up to a day before the number’s end date (a few hours before, for short rentals). If no payment succeeds before the end date, the number ends and you owe nothing for it.

Cancelling and refunds

A number that hasn’t received any texts can be cancelled from 5 minutes after purchase until 24 hours after. Whether you get your money back depends on our supplier accepting the cancellation, which it usually does. The details are in our refund policy, which is part of these terms.

Using numbers

You agree to follow our acceptable use policy. In short: no fraud, no harassment, no getting around a ban, and nothing illegal. We may suspend a number or an account that breaks it, without a refund, and we may report illegal activity to the authorities.

Texts sent to a number are deleted 7 days after the number ends. Don’t rely on a rented number for an account you can’t afford to lose access to, such as a bank, or as the only way to recover an account: once the number ends, codes sent to it can’t reach you.

API keys and agents

You can create API keys and connect software, including AI agents, to your account. Anything done with your key is done by you, including purchases within the key’s spending limits. Keep keys secret and revoke any key you think has leaked.

What we can’t promise

We work hard to keep the service running, but we can’t promise it will always be available, or that any particular app or website will send texts to our numbers. Some services refuse numbers like ours.

As far as the law allows, our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that can’t be limited.

Ending this agreement

You can stop using the service and delete your account at any time in your account settings. We may end or suspend your account if you break these terms; if we end it for another reason, we’ll refund the unused time on your active numbers.

The rest

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we’ll email you before it takes effect; it won’t change the price of a renewal you already turned on. These terms are governed by the laws of [country or state whose law governs these terms].
