You retain all rights to any content you submit, post, or display on or through the service. By submitting content, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, and distribute such content solely for the purpose of providing and improving our services.

5.4 Anti-Abuse, Anti-Phishing & Anti-Scam Policy (Disclaimer of Responsibility)

ShortenedUrl employs multi-layered security measures—including automated pre-creation URL screening, threat intelligence feeds, security DNS filtering, and community abuse reporting—to make every reasonable commercial and technical effort to identify, block, and prevent spam, phishing, scam, fraud, malware, and deceptive URLs from being distributed through our service.

However, because bad actors constantly develop new evasion techniques and third-party destination content can be modified after link creation, we cannot guarantee that all malicious, deceptive, spam, phishing, or scam URLs will be intercepted or removed before being accessed.

Accordingly, you expressly acknowledge and agree to the following:

• Disclaimer of Responsibility: Although we try our best to stop spam, phishing, and scam URLs, ShortenedUrl is an automated technical intermediary service and is not responsible or liable in any manner for any spam, phishing, scam, malware, fraud, deceptive claims, financial losses, identity theft, or any damages of any kind resulting from or related to any URL shortened by users or third parties.
• User Discretion and Assumption of Risk: Visiting, clicking, or interacting with any shortened URL or its destination website is undertaken solely and entirely at your own risk. Users and visitors are strongly advised to verify destination legitimacy before submitting personal, financial, or authentication credentials.
• Zero Tolerance & Abuse Reporting: We maintain a strict zero-tolerance policy against malicious links. If you discover a suspicious, spam, phishing, or scam URL created with our service, please immediately report it via our Report URL Portal or Contact Page so we can investigate and permanently disable it.

6. Limitation of Liability

In no event shall ShortenedUrl or its suppliers be liable for any damages (including, without limitation, damages for loss of data or profit, or due to business interruption) arising out of the use or inability to use the materials on ShortenedUrl, even if ShortenedUrl or a ShortenedUrl authorized representative has been notified orally or in writing of the possibility of such damage.

6.2 Limitation of Damages

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall ShortenedUrl, its affiliates, agents, directors, employees, suppliers, or licensors be liable for any indirect, punitive, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including without limitation damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to the use of, or inability to use, the service.

6.3 Maximum Liability

Our total liability to you for all claims arising from or related to the use of the service shall not exceed the amount you paid us in the twelve (12) months prior to the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100), whichever is greater.

6.4 No Responsibility for Third-Party Links, Scams, or Malicious Activity

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, ShortenedUrl explicitly disclaims any and all responsibility, warranty, or liability arising out of or related to third-party destinations, spam campaigns, phishing scams, fraudulent offers, financial losses, malware distributions, or data theft conducted by bad actors through shortened URLs. Although we try our best to stop spam, phishing, and scam URLs, we bear no responsibility or liability whatsoever for any such links or the actions of third parties.
