Terms of Service

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding contract between you and QRDyno ("QRDyno," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of qrdyno.com, the QRDyno dashboard, any QRDyno-hosted QR code landing pages, and any related services we provide (collectively, the "Service").

By creating an account, accessing the Service, or generating a QR code, you agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Acceptable Use Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

If you are agreeing to these Terms on behalf of a company or other organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that entity, and "you" in these Terms refers to that entity.

• "Account" means your QRDyno user account, registered through our authentication provider Clerk.
• "AUP" means the Acceptable Use Policy available at qrdyno.com/acceptable-use, incorporated into these Terms by reference.
• "Premium" means the paid plan currently offered at $29 USD per month or $290 USD per year. "Hobby" means the free plan.
• "QR Code" means a static or dynamic Quick Response code generated through the Service.
• "User Content" means any content you submit to the Service, including redirect URLs, uploaded files, slugs, landing-page configuration, and any personal data of third parties you include in your content.
• "Scanner" means any person who scans a QR Code generated through the Service and lands on a qrdyno.com URL.

The Service is not intended for individuals under 16. You represent that you are at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) and have full legal capacity to enter into these Terms.

You represent that you are not located in, ordinarily resident in, or a national of any country or region subject to comprehensive U.S., EU, UK, or UN sanctions (currently including Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, and the Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk regions of Ukraine), and that you are not on any restricted-party list maintained by OFAC, the EU, the UK, or other applicable authorities. You will not export, re-export, or provide access to the Service in violation of applicable sanctions or export-control laws.

You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your authentication credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at support@qrdyno.com if you suspect unauthorized access.

You may not create more than one account per individual, share your account with anyone outside your authorized team, or use disposable email services or coordinated registrations to circumvent plan limits.

5.1 Plans

QRDyno offers a free Hobby plan and a paid Premium plan. Current plan features and limits are described on our pricing page; we may change features and limits with reasonable notice for future billing cycles.

5.2 Auto-renewal

Premium subscriptions automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle (monthly or annual, as selected at checkout). Your payment method on file with our payment processor will be charged the then-current price for that cycle until you cancel. Current prices are $29.00 USD per month or $290.00 USD per year. We may change prices upon 30 days' advance notice; if you do not accept a price change, you may cancel before it takes effect.

5.3 Cancellation

You may cancel your Premium subscription at any time from your account billing page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing cycle; your Premium access continues until then. No partial refunds are issued for unused portions of a cycle.

5.4 Payment processor

Payments are processed by Polar Software Inc. acting as Merchant of Record. Your relationship with Polar for the payment transaction is governed by Polar's terms. QRDyno does not store full payment-card data.

QRDyno offers a free Hobby plan so you can evaluate the Service before any payment. By upgrading to Premium, you confirm that you have evaluated the Service and that the Premium features meet your needs.

Discretionary refunds. Paid subscriptions are generally non-refundable. We may, at our sole discretion, issue a refund or pro-rated credit for documented billing errors, duplicate charges, or material service failures that we are unable to remedy within a reasonable time. To request a discretionary refund, contact support@qrdyno.com within 30 days of the charge with your account email and order ID.

EU / UK consumers — right of withdrawal. If you are a consumer ordinarily resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory right to withdraw from this contract within 14 days from the date the contract is concluded, without giving any reason. To exercise this right, send an unambiguous statement of withdrawal to privacy@qrdyno.com from your account email. However, by upgrading to Premium and checking the corresponding consent box at checkout, you expressly request immediate performance of the Service and acknowledge that you will lose your right of withdrawal once the Premium features have been provided in full. If you do not consent to immediate performance, do not complete the upgrade.

No refunds for terminations for cause. Accounts terminated for violation of these Terms or the AUP are not eligible for refund of any kind. Initiating a chargeback or payment dispute without first contacting support@qrdyno.com to attempt resolution is a material breach of these Terms. We may recover chargeback fees imposed on us and may suspend or terminate your account.

Your use of the Service is subject to the QRDyno Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP"), which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. The AUP prohibits, among other things: phishing, malware distribution, child sexual abuse material, intellectual-property infringement, fraud, illegal goods and services, hate speech and harassment, spam, sanctions evasion, circumvention of security or rate limits, and impersonation of other persons, brands, or QRDyno.

Violation of the AUP is a material breach of these Terms and may result in immediate removal of content, disabling of QR Codes, suspension or termination of your account without notice, forfeiture of prepaid fees, preservation of evidence on legal hold, and reporting to law enforcement and industry anti-abuse programs.

We may update the AUP from time to time; the current version governs your use. We will provide notice of material AUP changes through the same channels described in Section 21.

You retain ownership of User Content you submit to the Service. You represent and warrant that (i) you own or have all necessary rights, licenses, and consents to submit the User Content and grant the license below; (ii) the User Content does not infringe any third party's intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights; and (iii) the User Content complies with these Terms and the AUP.

To operate the Service, you grant QRDyno a worldwide, royalty- free, non-exclusive, sublicensable (to our hosting, CDN, and infrastructure providers) license to host, store, reproduce, transmit, display, cache, reformat, and create derivative works of your User Content solely for the purposes of providing, securing, and improving the Service (including anti-abuse scanning, malware detection, and backups). This license terminates when you delete the User Content or your account, except where retention is required by law or for backup or audit purposes for up to 90 days after deletion.

You are responsible for the lawfulness of your User Content in every jurisdiction in which it is accessible through the Service. If your User Content includes personal data of third parties (for example, event attendees or wedding guests), you represent that you have a lawful basis to include it and have given any required notice to those third parties.

Feedback. If you send us suggestions, ideas, or feedback about the Service, we may use and act on them without any obligation to you. We will not identify you as the source without your consent.

9.1 Slugs

You may select a custom slug for a dynamic QR code, subject to availability and to the slug restrictions in the AUP. We may reject or reclaim any slug at our discretion, including slugs confusingly similar to a trademark, brand, government agency, financial institution, or QRDyno-reserved term.

9.2 Saved QR designs (Premium feature)

• Subscription requirement: Saving and applying QR code designs is a Premium-only feature. If your subscription is downgraded or canceled, access to your saved designs is suspended. Your designs are not deleted and become accessible again if you resubscribe.
• Team ownership: QR code designs created for a team are owned by that team, not by the individual who created them. All team members with access to the team may view and use team-owned designs.
• Team membership: If you are removed from a team, you immediately lose access to all designs owned by that team, including designs you personally created for the team.
• Deletion: When a team is deleted, all designs owned by that team are permanently deleted. Personal designs are retained while your account exists.

9.3 Persistence of dynamic QR codes

Dynamic QR codes resolve through qrdyno.com and depend on your active account and applicable plan. If your account is canceled or downgraded such that a QR code exceeds the plan's quota, that QR code may resolve to a default placeholder page until the situation is corrected. We do not guarantee that any individual dynamic QR code will remain operational beyond your active subscription. Plan accordingly when printing QR codes on durable materials.

9.4 Ownership of generated codes

You own the data and intellectual property in the codes you generate, subject to the license you grant in Section 8 and QRDyno's rights in its own software, branding, and the Service.

10.1 By you

You may terminate these Terms at any time by closing your account from the dashboard.

10.2 By us

Without limiting any other rights, we may, in our sole discretion and without prior notice or liability to you:

• Suspend, disable, or remove any QR Code, redirect, slug, file, landing page, or other content;
• Suspend or permanently terminate your account, including all associated team accounts and content;
• Forfeit any prepaid subscription fee, in whole or in part, where termination follows from a violation of these Terms or the AUP;
• Preserve account data, content, logs, and metadata on legal hold, for any period required by applicable law or by valid legal process, notwithstanding any account deletion or content removal;
• Disclose account information, content, hashed IP addresses, scan data, and other records to law enforcement, regulators, courts, and aggrieved third parties where required by law, by valid legal process, or where we believe in good faith that disclosure is necessary to prevent imminent harm;
• Apply geographic restrictions to specific QR Codes, content, or accounts;
• Insert interstitial pages, warnings, or destination disclosures between the QR scan and the user-supplied destination;
• Modify or rewrite destination URLs to force HTTPS, strip credentials, or otherwise sanitize URLs for safety;
• Refuse to issue, or revoke, any custom slug at our discretion;
• Cooperate with anti-abuse industry programs (including Google Safe Browsing, APWG, PhishTank, NCMEC, IWF) by submitting URLs, content hashes, and account metadata.

No action or inaction by QRDyno under this Section creates a duty to monitor User Content, and our exercise (or non-exercise) of these rights in one case creates no obligation in any other case.

10.3 Effect of termination

On termination, your right to access the Service ends. Sections of these Terms that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 6, 8 (license grant for residual backups), 11–13, and 16–22. For non-abusive terminations we will make scan analytics and QR configuration data available for export for 30 days; for terminations under the AUP we may withhold export of content that constitutes evidence of wrongdoing and may instead preserve such data for law-enforcement response.

11.1 Reporting abuse

To report content or activity that you believe violates these Terms, the AUP, applicable law, or your rights, submit a report via qrdyno.com/abuse or by email to abuse@qrdyno.com. Provide the QRDyno URL or slug, the nature of the violation, supporting evidence, and your contact information. We aim to acknowledge reports within two business days and to act on substantiated reports promptly, prioritizing reports of child sexual abuse material, imminent physical harm, and active phishing or malware campaigns.

11.2 DMCA notices (US copyright)

QRDyno respects the rights of copyright owners. To submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), email dmca@qrdyno.com with: (a) your physical or electronic signature, or that of an authorized agent; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed; (c) the URL or specific location of the allegedly infringing material; (d) your contact information (mailing address, phone, email); (e) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized; and (f) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner. We will register a designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and post the full agent details on this page when the registration is complete.

11.3 Counter-notices

If your content was removed pursuant to a DMCA notice and you believe it was removed in error, you may submit a counter- notice to dmca@qrdyno.com meeting the elements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3). On valid counter-notice we will share it with the original notifier and may restore the content after 10–14 business days unless we receive notice of legal action.

11.4 EU Digital Services Act — notice and action

EU users and any other person may submit a notice that specific content hosted on QRDyno is illegal under EU or Member-State law. Notices must include a sufficiently substantiated explanation of why the content is illegal, the exact electronic location (URL), the name and email of the notifier (except where anonymity is permitted), and a statement of good-faith belief that the information is accurate. Submit notices via qrdyno.com/abuse or abuse@qrdyno.com. We will confirm receipt without undue delay and provide a reasoned decision along with information about redress options.

11.5 Repeat-infringer policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i) and equivalent obligations in other jurisdictions, we maintain a policy of terminating accounts of users who are the subject of repeated substantiated infringement notices.

11.6 Bad-faith reports

Knowingly false abuse reports or DMCA notices are themselves a violation of these Terms and may expose the reporter to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) and equivalent laws.

You may not use the Service to register slugs, create content, or operate QR Codes that infringe a trademark, impersonate a brand, person, or organization, or are likely to cause confusion as to source, affiliation, or endorsement. Trademark owners may submit complaints via qrdyno.com/abuse; verified complaints may result in slug release and, if warranted, account termination.

The Service and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including software, text, displays, images, video, audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof, but excluding User Content) are owned by QRDyno, its licensors, or other providers and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, and other intellectual- property laws. Except for the limited license expressly granted in these Terms, no rights are granted to you in the Service.

The QR Code two-dimensional symbology was developed by DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED and the term "QR Code" is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED. References to "QR Code" in the Service and in QRDyno marketing are nominative and do not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by DENSO WAVE.

Restrictions. You will not, and will not permit others to: (a) license, sell, rent, lease, assign, distribute, transmit, host, outsource, disclose, or commercially exploit the Service or make it available to any third party except as expressly permitted; (b) modify, make derivative works of, disassemble, decrypt, reverse compile, or reverse engineer any part of the Service except to the extent applicable law expressly permits notwithstanding this restriction; or (c) remove, alter, or obscure any proprietary notice (including any notice of copyright or trademark) of QRDyno or its affiliates, partners, suppliers, or licensors.

Our collection and use of personal data is described in the Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference. By using the Service you acknowledge the Privacy Policy.

The Service may include links to, or interoperate with, third-party services not operated by QRDyno (for example, a URL you redirect to via a dynamic QR Code, a social-media link on a social-bio landing page, or our payment processor). We do not control these third-party services and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms and privacy policies, and is at your own risk.

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranty of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, QRDyno, on its own behalf and on behalf of its affiliates, licensors, and service providers, expressly disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including all implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

Without limiting the foregoing, QRDyno does not warrant that the Service will meet your requirements, achieve any intended results, be compatible with any other software or systems, operate without interruption, meet any performance or reliability standard, be error-free, or that any errors can or will be corrected. The Service does not include any service- level commitment regarding uptime, redirect resolution time, scan-processing speed, or analytics freshness.

QRDyno does not control the destinations to which dynamic QR Codes redirect or the content that users upload. We do not represent or warrant the safety, accuracy, legality, or suitability of any User Content or third-party destination. Scans of QR Codes in the physical world may be subject to tampering, replacement, or counterfeiting by third parties; QRDyno is not responsible for QR Codes that were not generated by your authenticated account or for losses arising from scans of QR Codes whose origin you have not verified.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or limitations on statutory rights; the foregoing exclusions and limitations apply only to the extent permitted by law.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QRDyno's aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will not exceed the greater of (a) the amounts you paid to QRDyno for the Service in the 12 months preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD $100).

In no event will QRDyno or its suppliers be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including damages for loss of profits, loss of data, business interruption, loss of goodwill, or personal injury, arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service, even if QRDyno has been advised of the possibility of such damages, and even if any limited remedy fails of its essential purpose.

The limitations in this Section do not apply to (i) QRDyno's indemnification obligations under Section 18 to the extent applicable, (ii) QRDyno's gross negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, (iii) death or personal injury caused by QRDyno's negligence to the extent such liability cannot be limited under applicable law, or (iv) any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable consumer- protection law.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages; in those jurisdictions, QRDyno's liability is limited to the smallest amount permitted by law. Nothing in these Terms is intended to limit any non-waivable statutory rights that apply to you as a consumer.

You will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless QRDyno and its affiliates, officers, employees, agents, partners, and licensors from and against any claim, demand, loss, liability, damage, cost, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: (a) your use of the Service; (b) your User Content (including destination URLs, hosted files, slugs, and any personal data of third parties you include); (c) your violation of these Terms, the AUP, or any law or regulation; (d) any communication you send linking to a QRDyno URL (including SMS, email, postal mail, or physically posted signage and packaging); or (e) your infringement of any third party's rights. We may participate in the defense at our own expense and you will not settle any claim without our prior written consent.

Please read this Section carefully. It affects your legal rights, including a waiver of class actions and a requirement to arbitrate most disputes individually.

19.1 Informal resolution

Before filing a claim, you and QRDyno agree to try to resolve the dispute informally. Send a written notice describing the dispute, the relief requested, and your contact information to legal@qrdyno.com (for QRDyno's notice, to the email on your account). The parties will negotiate in good faith for at least 60 days before commencing formal proceedings.

19.2 Binding arbitration

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (for consumers) or its Commercial Arbitration Rules (for business users), seated in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator may award the same remedies a court could award. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

19.3 Small-claims carve-out

Either party may bring an individual action in small-claims court instead of arbitration if the claim qualifies and the party brings the claim solely in that party's individual capacity.

19.4 Class and representative waiver

You and QRDyno each agree that disputes will be resolved only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. You and QRDyno waive any right to a jury trial.

If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that this class- action and representative waiver is unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief, the arbitration agreement will be severable as to that claim or request only, and the parties may proceed in court as to that claim or request alone, with the remainder of these Terms (including the rest of the arbitration agreement) remaining in effect.

19.5 Arbitration costs

Each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs except as required by the applicable AAA rules or by law. For consumer claims, QRDyno will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees in accordance with the AAA Consumer Rules.

19.6 Opt-out (30 days)

You may opt out of the arbitration agreement in this Section 19 within 30 days after first agreeing to these Terms by emailing legal@qrdyno.com with the subject line "Arbitration Opt-Out" and your account email. Opting out has no other effect on these Terms.

19.7 Time limit

Any cause of action arising out of or related to the Service must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues, except where prohibited by applicable law.

19.8 Equitable relief

Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek temporary or preliminary injunctive relief from any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual property or confidential information pending the arbitrator's decision.

19.9 EU/UK consumers

Nothing in this Section limits your right, as a consumer ordinarily resident in the European Union or the United Kingdom, to bring proceedings in the courts of your country of residence to the extent required by applicable consumer- protection law.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, excluding its conflict-of-laws rules. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply. Subject to Section 19, any dispute not resolved by arbitration will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware, and you consent to personal jurisdiction in those courts. Nothing in this Section overrides mandatory consumer-protection rights granted by the law of your country of residence.

We may update these Terms from time to time. When we make a material change, we will update the "Effective" date at the top and notify you via email or an in-product notice before the change takes effect. Non-material changes (typos, clarifications) may be made without notice. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of an updated version constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms. If you do not accept an update, you may close your account before the effective date.

22.1 Entire agreement

These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and the AUP, constitute the entire agreement between you and QRDyno regarding the Service and supersede any prior or contemporaneous agreements, communications, or representations.

22.2 Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable and to give effect to the parties' intent.

22.3 Waiver

No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right under these Terms operates as a waiver, and no single or partial exercise of any right precludes any further exercise.

22.4 Assignment

You may not assign these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, sale of assets, or by operation of law, on notice to you.

22.5 Force majeure

Neither party is liable for delay or failure to perform due to events beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God, war, terrorism, riots, pandemics, governmental orders, internet or hosting-provider outages, denial-of-service attacks, or labor disputes, except payment obligations.

22.6 Notices

Legal notices to QRDyno must be sent to legal@qrdyno.com. Notices to you may be sent to the email associated with your account or via an in-product banner.

22.7 Independent contractors

Nothing in these Terms creates any partnership, joint venture, agency, or employment relationship between you and QRDyno.

22.8 Third-party beneficiaries

These Terms do not confer rights on any third party, except that QRDyno affiliates may enforce Section 18 (Indemnification) and the disclaimers and limitations in Sections 16–17.

22.9 Section headings

Headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.
