Terms and conditions

These terms apply to urlburp.com. By shortening a link, creating an account, or continuing past a preview page, you agree to them. They are governed by the law of South Africa.

The service

urlBurp turns an http or https address into a short link and shows a preview page before the visitor continues. Counts on the dashboard are counts of preview pages shown. The service is offered as it is. We do not promise that it will be available all the time, that a count is complete, or that a third-party site at the end of a link is safe or still there.

Acceptable use

Do not shorten or distribute links that point at phishing, malware, or other illegal or abusive material. Do not use the service to hide a destination in order to trick someone. Do not hammer the service with automated creation of links. We may refuse an address, turn a link off, and suspend an account that is being abused. Suspending an account also turns off that account's active links.

Your links

You are responsible for the addresses you shorten and for having the right to share them. A short link can be opened by anyone who has it. Do not put secrets in an address you shorten.

How long a link lasts

A short link stays active for 12 months from the day it is created. After that it is retired: it stops resolving, a visitor sees a page saying the link has expired, and its count stops growing. The term is not extended, so someone who still needs to share the destination must create a new short link.

The preview page and advertising

Visitors see the destination host and a Continue button. There is no automatic redirect. Pages may include a labeled advertisement. Ads are loaded only after the visitor allows advertising cookies, as described in the privacy policy. An advertisement is not the Continue button and is not part of the destination.

Copyright

The text, layout, and original articles on this site belong to the operator of urlburp.com. You may link to them. You may not copy them onto another site and present them as your own. Pages that a short link points to are someone else's. Their copyright stays with them. If you believe a short link on this site points at material that infringes your rights, use the contact form or the report link on the preview page and tell us the short link and what the problem is. We will review it and can disable the link.

Accounts

Keep your password to yourself. You can delete an account from the dashboard. We may suspend an account that breaks these terms. The last admin account cannot be deleted from the dashboard, so the site is not left without an operator login.

Liability

To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss caused by a destination site, by a link you chose to open, or by the shortener being unavailable. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot legally be limited.
