Terms of Use
This text is a translation for information only; the Turkish text is binding.
These terms and conditions govern the use of the SMS verification service provided via CodeSMS (https://codesms.org) using a virtual number. By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these terms and conditions.
1. Description of the Service
CodeSMS provides users with a one-time virtual phone number and the SMS verification code sent to that number for a limited time, to be used during registration or verification for an online service (e.g., messaging, social media, email).
- The numbers belong to our partner number providers; they are not sold or transferred to you, but are made available for your use solely to receive SMS messages for the specified period.
- After the period expires, the number may be assigned to other users. Therefore, do not use the virtual number for long-term account recovery or as a two-step verification number.
- We cannot guarantee that a number for a specific service, country, or carrier will always be available or that an SMS will definitely be delivered; the decisions of the service sending the SMS are beyond our control.
2. Account and Security
- A valid email address is required for registration, and no actions can be taken until the email is verified.
- You are responsible for keeping your account, password, and API key confidential. We recommend enabling two-step verification.
- A single person may not use multiple accounts for abusive purposes.
3. Balance and Billing
- The service is used with the balance you have previously loaded into your account. Current prices are listed on the Pricing page and may vary based on provider costs; the price displayed at the time of purchase is valid.
- Balance top-up methods and fees are listed on the balance top-up page.
- The balance does not earn interest and cannot be transferred to another account.
4. Refunds
- If you do not receive an SMS within the specified timeframe after purchasing a number, or if you cancel the number (before receiving an SMS), the fee will be automatically refunded to your balance.
- Once the SMS code has been delivered to you, the service is considered rendered, and no refund will be issued.
- Balances loaded into the account are non-refundable and cannot be converted to cash.
- Details: Cancellation, Refund, and Withdrawal Policy.
5. Prohibited Use
Use for the following purposes is strictly prohibited; if detected, the account may be closed without warning and the relevant authorities may be notified:
- Fraud, identity theft, opening an account in another person’s name, using forged documents, or any other illegal activity,
- spam, bulk unsolicited messages, distributing malware, or automated account creation in violation of the Terms of Service,
- child exploitation, terrorism, gambling, or other content and activities prohibited by applicable laws,
- attempts that threaten the security of the system, the API, or other users.
6. API Usage
You are responsible for all actions performed using your API key. Rate limits and usage rules are specified on the API Documentation page; access may be restricted in cases of excessive or abusive use.
7. Limitation of Liability
The service is provided “as is.” CodeSMS cannot be held responsible if third-party services do not accept your number, suspend your account, or fail to send SMS messages; in such cases, our liability is limited to a refund of the amount you paid for the relevant transaction.
8. Changes and Contact Information
These terms may be updated; the current version is published on this page. For questions, you can contact us through the support section or at destek@codesms.org.
