When you create an account, you agree to provide accurate information and to keep it up to date. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. Acceptable Use and Prohibited Content

You agree not to use the Service to create, shorten, host, or distribute links that point to or are associated with any of the following:

• Malware, viruses, ransomware, spyware, phishing pages, or any malicious or deceptive code.
• Content that is illegal under any applicable law, including the law of your jurisdiction and ours.
• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) or any content that sexualizes, exploits, or endangers minors.

• Hate speech, harassment, threats, or content that incites violence or discrimination.
• Unauthorized gambling, the sale of illegal drugs or weapons, or other regulated activities without proper authorization.
• Any attempt to bypass, disable, or interfere with security features, advertising, or analytics on the Service.

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion and without liability, to disable, delete, or refuse any Short Link, and to suspend or terminate any account that we believe violates these Terms or applicable law.

4. Advertising and Monetization

The Service is supported by advertising. By using Shortlys, you acknowledge and agree that the Service and the redirect process for Short Links may display advertisements, interstitial pages, banners, or other promotional content served by us or by third-party advertising networks.

Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.

5. Intellectual Property

All rights, title, and interest in and to the Service, including its software, design, logos, and trademarks, remain the exclusive property of Shortlys and its licensors. These Terms do not grant you any right to use our branding without prior written permission. You retain ownership of the destination content you link to, but you grant us a limited license to process and route that content as necessary to provide the Service.

6. Link Availability and Removal

We do not guarantee that any Short Link will remain active indefinitely. We may remove or expire links due to inactivity, policy violations, technical limitations, or legal requirements. We are not liable for any loss resulting from the removal, expiration, or unavailability of a Short Link.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, and we are not responsible for the content, safety, or legality of any destination that a Short Link points to.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Shortlys and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service. Our total aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service shall not exceed the amount you paid to us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Shortlys, its operators, and partners from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any third-party right.

10. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including a breach of these Terms. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ceases immediately. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination shall survive.
