These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of shorturl.la ("the Service"), a free link-shortening service operated by an individual ("we", "us", "I"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
The Service is free and provided "as is", with no guarantees that it will work, stay available, or keep your data safe. We are not liable for any damages, lost data, downtime, or anything that breaks. Use it at your own risk, and don't use it for spam, malware, or anything illegal.
By creating an account or otherwise using the Service, you confirm that you can form a binding agreement, that you are of legal age in your jurisdiction, and that you accept these Terms in full. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you accept these Terms on its behalf.
shorturl.la lets you create shortened links, generate QR codes, organize links with tags, and view click analytics. Features may be added, changed, limited, or removed at any time without notice.
The Service is currently offered free of charge. Because it is provided at no cost and on a best-effort basis, it is supplied "as is" and "as available", without any commitment to support, maintenance, uptime, data preservation, or fitness for any particular purpose.
We may introduce paid plans in the future; any paid terms will be presented separately at that time.
You agree not to use the Service to create, distribute, or redirect to:
We may, at our sole discretion and without notice, disable links, remove content, or terminate accounts that we believe violate these rules. We cooperate with lawful requests from authorities.
You retain ownership of the destination URLs and other content you submit. You are solely responsible for that content and for ensuring you have the right to share it. You grant us the limited rights needed to host, process, and serve your links and analytics. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse, any content reachable through links created with the Service.
We make no promise that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or error-free. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (in whole or in part), and may delete links or data, at any time and without notice or liability. Short links may stop resolving if the Service is changed or shut down.
The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will function without interruption or error, that defects will be corrected, that data will be preserved, or that the Service or its servers are free of harmful components. You use the Service entirely at your own risk.
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event will we (the operator of shorturl.la) be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, goodwill, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the Service — including but not limited to lost or corrupted data, links that fail to resolve, downtime, unauthorized access, or service discontinuation — whether based on warranty, contract, tort, or any other legal theory, and whether or not we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.
To the maximum extent permitted by law, our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amount you actually paid us to use the Service in the twelve months before the claim, or (b) USD $0, reflecting that the Service is provided free of charge.
Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions or limitations, so some of the above may not apply to you; in that case our liability is limited to the smallest extent permitted by law.
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the operator of shorturl.la from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your content or links, or your violation of these Terms or of any law or third-party rights.
The Service redirects to destinations you choose and may reference third-party services. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any third-party website, including the destinations of short links. Accessing them is at your own risk.
You may stop using the Service at any time and delete your account. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without cause and without notice. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends immediately, and your links and data may be deleted. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (including disclaimers, limitation of liability, and indemnification) will survive.
We may update these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above reflects the current version. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the operator's place of residence, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts located there, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Nothing in these Terms limits any non-waivable rights you may have as a consumer under the mandatory law of your country of residence.
