  • Content that promotes illegal activities
  • Content that infringes on intellectual property rights

4. User Responsibility and Safety

While we employ measures to prevent abuse of our Service, users must exercise caution when clicking on shortened links. We strongly recommend:

  • Only clicking links from trusted sources
  • Being aware that shortened URLs can mask the destination website

    • The destination URL
  • When visiting a shortened link:
    • Visitor's IP address

Multiple flagged attempts may result in temporary or permanent blocking of access to the Service. This data is collected and stored solely for security purposes and abuse prevention. We do not sell or share this data with third parties.

When using our "What's My IP" lookup feature, we display your IP address, user agent, and connection information in real-time but do not store this data in our database.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. While we implement security measures to prevent abuse, we cannot guarantee the safety of external links. Users click on shortened URLs at their own risk. We expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.
