Terms of Service

Last updated: July 31, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the IMEIAPI.orgwebsite and API (the "Service"). By creating an account or using the Service you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1. The Service

IMEIAPI.org provides a programmatic interface (API) that resolves IMEI numbers into device identity information such as brand, model, code name, device type and supported radio bands. The Service is intended for business use — for example buyback platforms, resellers, wholesalers, repair shops and software integrators.

2. Accounts and API keys

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and API keys, and for all activity performed with them. Do not embed API keys in public client-side code or share them with third parties. Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorized use of your key.

3. Trial, bundles and payment

New accounts start with a 7-day trial limited to 100 lookups per day. Beyond the trial, the Service is sold as prepaid bundles: you buy a fixed number of lookups once, and each successful API call draws one lookup from your balance. There is no subscription and no recurring charge.

Purchased lookups remain usable for 12 months from the date of purchase, after which any unused balance expires. Bundles do not renew automatically. Requests made with an empty balance are rejected rather than silently billed. Prices may change; changes never affect lookups you have already bought.

4. Refunds

Unused lookups may be refunded within 14 days of purchase, less any lookups already consumed. Bundles that have been substantially used, and balances that have expired, are not refundable. Contact [email protected] to request a refund.

5. Acceptable use

You agree not to: (a) resell raw access to the Service without a separate agreement; (b) use the Service to violate any law or the rights of others, including privacy laws; (c) attempt to disrupt, overload, reverse engineer or gain unauthorized access to the Service; (d) circumvent rate limits or trial restrictions, including by creating multiple accounts.

6. Data accuracy

Device data is compiled from industry allocation databases. While we work to keep it accurate and current, the Service is provided "as is" and we do not warrant that every response is complete, accurate or fit for a particular purpose. You are responsible for how you use the returned data in your own products and decisions.

7. Availability

We aim for high availability, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted operation. Planned maintenance and factors outside our control may affect availability. Customers on custom volumes may agree individual SLA terms.

8. Intellectual property

The Service, including its website, documentation and branding, remains our property. We grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the API and the returned data within your own products and internal processes for as long as your account is active.

9. Termination

You may stop using the Service at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that materially breach these Terms, with notice where reasonably possible; where we terminate an account that is not in breach, we refund any unused balance.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total liability arising from or related to the Service is limited to the amount you paid for the Service in the twelve months preceding the claim. We are not liable for indirect, incidental or consequential damages, including lost profits or lost data.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced by e-mail or on the website at least 14 days before they take effect. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
