Dead Man's Switch

What's the gist?

Dead Man's Switch is provided without any guarantees of anything, not even that it will do its job properly. If you want your emails to remain private, or to not be sent before your actual death, or anything else, please don't use this service. I provide it for free in case anyone finds it useful, and that's pretty much the extent of its use case.

If you have any doubts, please use an alternate service.

Refunds for the upgrade will be provided for three months after purchase.
