Acceptable Use Policy

This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") governs all use of the QRDyno Service, including dynamic and static QR codes, custom slugs, hosted landing pages, file uploads, redirects, and APIs. It applies to all users regardless of plan.

The AUP is incorporated into the QRDyno Terms of Service by reference. Violation of the AUP is a material breach of the Terms.

You may not use the Service in connection with content, destinations, or activities that:

2.1 Phishing and credential theft

Impersonate any service for the purpose of obtaining credentials, MFA codes, payment data, tokens, or personal information. This includes impersonation of financial institutions, payment processors, government agencies, well- known brands, employers, or login pages of any service.

2.2 Malware

Distribute, install, or facilitate access to malware, viruses, ransomware, trojans, spyware, cryptojackers, exploit kits, or any code designed to compromise, damage, or gain unauthorized access to a device or network. This applies both to QR destinations and to any content uploaded to QRDyno-hosted pages.

2.3 Child safety

QRDyno has zero tolerancefor content that sexually exploits, depicts, or endangers minors, including child sexual abuse material ("CSAM") and non-consensual sexual content involving minors. Such content will be removed immediately, the account permanently terminated, evidence preserved on legal hold, and the matter reported to the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) and law enforcement in compliance with 18 U.S.C. § 2258A and equivalent obligations elsewhere.

2.4 Intellectual property

Infringe copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, publicity, or other intellectual-property rights. This includes hosting pirated media, distributing counterfeit goods, and impersonating brands, businesses, or persons.

2.5 Illegal goods and services

Sell or facilitate the sale of: controlled substances, prescription medications without authorization, firearms or firearm components where prohibited, explosives, stolen goods, counterfeit currency or documents, fraudulently obtained credentials or payment instruments, or any item whose sale is illegal in your jurisdiction or in the jurisdictions of your recipients.

2.6 Fraud and scams

Operate or promote investment scams, romance / pig-butchering scams, advance-fee fraud, fake giveaways, Ponzi or pyramid schemes, fake cryptocurrency exchanges or wallets, false charitable solicitations, or any deceptive solicitation of funds.

2.7 Hate, harassment, and violence

Incite or threaten violence; harass, defame, dox, stalk, or threaten any person or group, including on the basis of any protected characteristic; glorify terrorism or violent extremism; promote self-harm or suicide; or facilitate human trafficking or non-consensual intimate imagery.

2.8 Adult content

Pornography, sexually explicit material, escort services, or other adult content. This restriction applies regardless of legality in your jurisdiction.

2.9 Gambling

Operate unlicensed gambling, lotteries, sweepstakes, or betting services, or promote such services to jurisdictions where they are prohibited.

2.10 Spam and deceptive distribution

Distribute unsolicited bulk communications (SMS, email, postal mail, robocalls); print or post QR Codes on private property or public infrastructure without authorization ("QR bombing"); or use the Service in any way that violates the CAN-SPAM Act, TCPA, CASL, GDPR Art. 7, ePrivacy Directive, PECR, or equivalent anti-spam laws.

2.11 Sanctions and export controls

Provide the Service or its outputs to persons ordinarily resident in comprehensively sanctioned jurisdictions or to persons on US, UK, EU, UN, or applicable sanctions lists. Export or re-export the Service in violation of EAR, ITAR, or EU dual-use regulations.

You may not:

• Reverse engineer, scrape, crawl, bulk-download, or access the Service through automated means except via documented APIs and within published rate limits.
• Bypass plan limits by creating multiple accounts, using disposable email services, or coordinating registrations.
• Obscure or cloak destinations: chained redirects designed to bypass security scanners; geographic, time-based, or user-agent-based switching to serve different content to crawlers vs. end users; or rewriting destinations after security review.
• Use the Service for search-engine manipulation, link laundering, fake click or impression generation, or ad-fraud schemes.
• Interfere with the Service: denial-of-service, vulnerability scanning without written permission, data exfiltration, or enumeration of slugs.
• Use the Service to host or transmit data whose export is restricted under applicable export-control laws.
• Circumvent any technical access controls, rate limits, watermarks (including QRDyno branding on Hobby pages), or quota enforcement.
• Submit false abuse reports, false DMCA notices, or impersonate any person, entity, or QRDyno staff member.

We may reject or reclaim any slug at our discretion, including slugs that:

• Match or are confusingly similar to a trademark, brand name, government agency, financial institution, payment processor, or QRDyno-reserved term.
• Contain profanity, slurs, sexual references, hate symbols, or otherwise violate Section 2.
• Are designed to deceive scanners about the destination, for example slugs containing terms like "secure-login," "verify-account," "wallet-update," "irs-refund," or "package-tracking" without a legitimate business connection.

To report a violation, use qrdyno.com/abuse or email abuse@qrdyno.com.

• CSAM reports receive top priority. If safe to do so, email abuse@qrdyno.com with the subject line "CSAM" and do not include the offending material in the email — just the URL.
• Imminent threat to life: include the word "EMERGENCY" in the subject line. Contact your local emergency services first.
• Copyright (DMCA): see the procedure in the Terms of Service, Section 11. Send DMCA notices to dmca@qrdyno.com.

All reports should include: the QRDyno URL or slug, a clear description of the violation, supporting evidence (screenshots, malware scan results, trademark registration, etc.), and your contact information.

We may, in our sole discretion and without notice:

• Remove or unpublish offending content;
• Disable specific QR Codes, slugs, or redirects;
• Insert warning interstitials or apply geographic blocks;
• Suspend an account pending investigation;
• Permanently terminate accounts and forfeit any prepaid subscription fees;
• Preserve evidence on legal hold and cooperate with law enforcement;
• Submit URLs, file hashes, and account metadata to industry anti-abuse programs (Google Safe Browsing, APWG, PhishTank, NCMEC, IWF, and similar).

We are not required to provide prior notice. Repeat or egregious violations result in permanent ban. CSAM-related terminations are reported to NCMEC and are not appealable through the normal appeals process described below.

Our exercise (or non-exercise) of these rights in one case creates no obligation in any other case, and nothing in this AUP creates a duty to monitor User Content.

If you believe an enforcement action was taken in error, you may submit an appeal within 6 months of the decision by emailing abuse@qrdyno.com with the subject line "Appeal". Include your account email, the affected URL or QR Code, and an explanation of why you believe the action was incorrect. Appeals are reviewed by a person not involved in the original decision and are decided within a reasonable period.

We may update this AUP at any time. Material changes will be announced through an in-product notice, email, or post on this page with an updated "Effective" date. Continued use of the Service after the effective date constitutes acceptance.
