These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of lucr.at, including our link-shortening, redirect, QR code, analytics, and related services ("Services"). By using lucr.at, you confirm that you understand and agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, you may not use the Services.
1. Using lucr.at
We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive right to use the Services in accordance with these Terms. You agree not to use the Services for any illegal, harmful, deceptive, or abusive activities. Examples of prohibited use include:
- Phishing, scams, malware, or harmful content
- Pornography or sexually explicit material
- Copyright-infringing content
- Redirecting to another link shortener to mask a destination
- Spam, automated abuse, or excessive usage beyond fair use
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or pose security, legal, or operational risks to lucr.at or others.
2. Account Responsibility
If you create an account, you are responsible for keeping your login details secure and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access.
3. Link Ownership and Inactive Links
3.1 Link Ownership: When you create a link through our Services, you maintain the right to use that link and control where it redirects, subject to these Terms.
3.2 Inactive Link Recycling: To ensure efficient use of our platform and maintain the availability of short slugs, links that remain inactive (receive zero clicks) for 180 consecutive days may be automatically recycled and made available for registration by other users.
3.3 Premium Links Exception: Premium links (1–4 character slugs purchased with a one-time payment) are exempt from the 180-day inactivity policy and will not be recycled, regardless of click activity.
3.4 Reactivation: If your link receives at least one click within any 180-day period, the inactivity timer resets, and your link remains active.
3.5 No Refunds for Recycled Links: We do not provide refunds or compensation for free links that are recycled due to inactivity.
4. Pricing, Payments & Promotions
Some features of lucr.at may require payment, including premium short links offered as one-time purchases. Prices are displayed at the time of purchase and are charged immediately.
- All payments are generally non-refundable unless required by law.
- Pricing may change at any time without notice for future purchases.
- Previously completed purchases remain valid under the terms agreed at checkout.
We may offer discounts, promotions, special pricing, bulk discounts, or social / creator offers from time to time. Eligibility, availability, and terms of such offers may vary and are not guaranteed.
