Tusk – Spam & Phishing Filter: Terms of Use

1. The service

Tusk checks new emails in your inbox on our servers and moves spam to your Junk folder. To use it you need an iPhone, an Apple Account and an email account that Tusk supports (iCloud Mail, Gmail, Outlook and Microsoft 365, or another provider that offers IMAP), and you connect Tusk with an app-specific password, an app password, your mail password or Sign in with Microsoft.

2. Your account and your mailbox

• Only connect mailboxes that are yours, or that you are allowed to manage.
• A mailbox can be connected to one Tusk account at a time.
• Keep your iPhone and your Apple Account secure. You are responsible for activity in your Tusk account.
• You can revoke Tusk's access at any time: its app-specific password at account.apple.com, its Gmail app password at myaccount.google.com, or its Microsoft access in your Microsoft account.

3. How filtering works, and its limits

Tusk uses AI and your own rules to decide what is spam. No filter is perfect: some spam may stay in your inbox, and a wanted email may be moved to Junk. Tusk moves emails, it never deletes them, but your email provider may delete emails left in Junk after a while, so check your Junk folder and use "Not spam", your allow list or Preview mode when you need to.

If you turn on automatic unsubscribe, Tusk uses the one-click unsubscribe links of senders you rejected, on your behalf.

4. Plans and subscriptions

• Free: one email account, up to 10 spam emails moved to Junk and up to 300 emails checked by AI per month.
• Tusk Pro: unlimited spam moved to Junk under fair use, and up to 3,000 emails checked by AI per month. Pro can also protect up to five email accounts, sharing those checks.
• On every plan, each account can have up to 300 emails checked per day, to protect the service.
• Tusk Pro is a monthly or yearly auto-renewable subscription, billed by Apple to your Apple Account. It renews automatically unless you cancel at least 24 hours before the end of the current period. You can manage or cancel it in Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions. Refunds are handled by Apple under its policies. Prices are shown in the App Store before you buy.
• We may change the limits or prices of the plans. We will tell you in advance, and price changes for an existing subscription follow Apple's rules.

5. Acceptable use

Do not:

• use Tusk for mailboxes you are not allowed to access;
• try to get around plan limits, for example by creating many accounts;
• interfere with, overload or try to break into the service or its providers;
• reverse engineer the app or the service, except where the law allows it.

6. Third-party services

Tusk depends on services we do not control, such as your email provider, Sign in with Apple, the App Store and Cloudflare. We are not responsible for their availability or for changes they make.

These terms are between you and ElephantApps, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for Tusk or its content and has no obligation to provide support for it.

7. Availability and changes

We work to keep Tusk running, but we provide it "as is" and cannot promise it will always be available or free of errors. We may change, add or remove features.

8. Liability

To the extent the law allows, ElephantApps is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, or for emails that were moved, missed or deleted by your email provider. Our total liability is limited to the amount you paid for Tusk in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have as a consumer under the law of your country.

9. Ending your use

You can stop using Tusk and delete your account at any time in Settings → Delete account. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms. Deleting your account does not cancel an Apple subscription; cancel it in your Apple Account settings.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye, and the courts and enforcement offices of İstanbul (Anadolu) have jurisdiction, without affecting the mandatory consumer protections of your country of residence.

11. Changes to these terms

If we change these terms, we will update this page and its date, and tell you in the app about significant changes. If you keep using Tusk after a change, the new terms apply.
