Terms of service
Last updated 14 October 2026
These terms are an agreement between you and the operator of Deadman at hithshi.com ("we"). By creating an account you agree to them. Please also read the privacy policy.
What the service does
You write letters, add files and videos, and choose the people they're for. You check in regularly. If you stop checking in, we warn you, and after the time you set we send your letters to your people. Letters can also be scheduled for dates or for a while after that. You can name backups and trusted people.
It's a best effort, not a guarantee
- We work hard to send every reminder and every letter on time, and we retry when something fails. But we depend on email providers, messaging services, phone networks and our hosting provider, and on the contact details you give us being right. We can't promise that every message arrives, that it arrives at a particular time, or that it's read.
- Letters may be sent when you didn't intend it, for example if you can't check in for a reason you didn't expect. Set your check-in interval and grace period with that in mind, keep more than one reminder channel, and consider naming a trusted person.
- This is not a will and is not a way to make legal arrangements, transfer property, or pass on passwords or financial details. Use a lawyer for those.
Your account
- You must be 18 or over.
- Keep your email account secure: anyone who can read your email can log in to your account.
- Give accurate contact details for yourself and your people.
Your content
- What you write and upload stays yours. You let us store it, and send it to the people you chose at the times you chose. Nothing more.
- You're responsible for it. Don't use the service to harass, threaten or defame anyone, to share content you don't have the right to share, to send spam, or for anything illegal.
- Only add people you have a genuine reason to write to.
- Don't store passwords, bank details or other secrets in letters: they're not end-to-end encrypted.
Limits
Each account has storage and usage limits (for example 2 GB of files, and a maximum number of switches, people and letters), shown in the app when you reach them.
Ending the service
- You can delete your account at any time in Settings. Everything in it is deleted and nothing is sent.
- We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms.
- If we ever have to shut the service down, we'll give you at least 60 days' notice by email so you can download your letters and make other arrangements.
Liability
The service is provided as it is. As far as the law allows, we aren't liable for messages that are delayed, not delivered, or sent when you didn't intend, or for indirect losses. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.
Changes
If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll email you before the change takes effect.
Law
These terms are governed by the laws of India.
