  • Attempts to bypass security systems, blacklists, moderation tools, or platform restrictions.
  • Short-link chains designed to hide the final destination or mislead users.

We reserve the right to block, disable, remove, or review any short link that we believe may violate these terms or create risk for users, third parties, or the service.

External Websites

URL Shortener short links redirect users to external websites. We do not own, control, verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the content, security, privacy practices, availability, or accuracy of external websites.

Users should carefully review the destination URL before continuing to any external website.

Link Removal and Abuse Reports

If you believe a short link created through URL Shortener is being used for phishing, malware, spam, fraud, copyright infringement, illegal content, or other abuse, please report it to us at [email protected].

Please include the short URL, the reason for your report, and any supporting information. We may investigate reports and take appropriate action, including disabling or removing the short link.

No Guarantee of Availability

We aim to keep URL Shortener available and reliable, but we do not guarantee uninterrupted access, permanent availability of short links, or error-free operation.

We may modify, limit, suspend, or discontinue any part of the service at any time, with or without notice.

Short Link Expiration and Removal

Short links may be retained for as long as the service is active, unless removed due to abuse, technical issues, policy violations, legal requirements, or administrative reasons.

We reserve the right to disable or delete short links at our discretion, especially where a link creates security, legal, reputational, or operational risk.

You agree not to misuse the service, interfere with its operation, overload our systems, attempt unauthorized access, or use automated tools in a way that harms the service.

Service Limits

We may apply technical limits to protect the service, including rate limits, domain restrictions, abuse filters, API restrictions, link creation limits, or temporary blocks.

These limits may be changed at any time to improve security, prevent abuse, or maintain service stability.
