Creating URLs for use in unsolicited advertising including but not limited to email and forum posts (i.e. do not use for SPAM purpos
es)
Linking to any file or website depicting actual or simulated child pornography
Linking to any content which is illegal in your area
Linking to other sites that also offer URL shortening/redirection (because creating a "chain" of redirects is often an attempt to hi
de malicious use, and also wastes bandwidth) - most of these should be automatically blocked anyway
Any other use which is illegal in your area

We reserve the right to remove any shortened URLs which we deem to have violated our terms and conditions, or that we believe violat
e the spirit of our terms or of fair usage (at our discretion). We may if we choose report use that is forbidden by our terms and co
nditions to the relevant governmental or law enforcement agencies, including relevant information such as the IP address of the link
creator. We also reserve the right to block any abusers from using our service in future. In addition, shortened URLs may be remove
d retroactively if they later appear on any of the blacklists that TinyAddress consults.

Excessive usage

We ask that you limit usage of our service to "reasonable" levels We reserve the right to remove shortened URLs from our service an
d/or block the abuser from our service temporarily or permanently when usage exceeds these levels.

TinyAddress is provided as a free service, and as such carries no warranty of any kind. TinyAddress is not liable for any loss or pr
oblem you might suffer due to using the service. This includes losses in the event that the service stops operating, is unavailable
or slow, suffers data loss, or any other issue which might be considered detrimental to you.

Privacy Policy

We do not collect any personally identifying information from users of this website. We store only the technical information necessa
ry to provide our URL shortening service, such as the original long URLs. We may also store the IP addresses of computers using the
TinyAddress service (and similar usage information such as web browser/resolution) for the sole purposes of identifying abuse of the
service and tracking anonymous usage trends. This information will not be made available to third parties.

We check submitted URLs and user IP addresses against blacklists to help prevent spam. These blacklists may be operated by third par
ties.

URLs shortened by our website are not private and should not be treated as such. Third parties could easily guess the short URL that
you are using, so you should not use TinyAddress to link to sensitive or secure data.

Third party advertising may be included on the site. Such advertisers may use technologies such as cookies or web beacons which may
allow them to access information such as your IP address, ISP, browser etc. to be used in the course of displaying advertising or se
lecting advertising to display. You can choose to selectively turn off cookies in your browser settings, although this may affect yo
ur ability to interact with certain websites.

The current version of the Dispute Policy may be found at http://www.nic.uk/DisputeResolution/DrsPolicy/. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with this policy.

8. DOMAIN NAME DISPUTES. You agree that, if the registration or reservation of your domain name is challenged by a third party, you will be subject to the provisions specified in the Dispute Policy in effect at the time of the dispute. You agree that in the event a domain name dispute arises with any third party, you will indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy.

10. AGENCY. Should you intend to license use of a domain name to a third party, you shall nonetheless be the domain name registrant of record and are therefore responsible for providing your own full contact information and for providing and updating accurate technical and administrative contact information adequate to facilitate timely resolution of any problems that arise in connection with the domain name. You shall accept liability for harm caused by wrongful use of the domain name. You also represent that you have provided notice of the terms and conditions in this Agreement to the third party and that the third party agrees to the terms of Disclosure and Use of Registration Information (sections 18 and 19 of this Agreement).

11. ANNOUNCEMENTS. We and Reseller reserve the right to distribute information to you that is pertinent to the quality or operation of our services and those of our service partners.

12. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. You agree that our entire liability, and your exclusive remedy, with respect to any Services(s) provided under this Agreement and any breach of this Agreement is solely limited to the amount you paid for such Service(s). We and our contractors shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use any of the Services or for the cost of procurement of substitute services. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, in such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the extent permitted by law. We disclaim any and all loss or liability resulting from, but not limited to: (1) loss or liability resulting from access delays or access interruptions; (2) loss or liability resulting from data non-delivery or data mis-delivery; (3) loss or liability resulting from acts of God; (4) loss or liability resulting from the unauthorized use or misuse of your account identifier or password; (5) loss or liability resulting from errors, omissions, or misstatements in any and all information or services(s) provided under this Agreement; (6) loss or liability resulting from the interruption of your Service. You agree that we will not be liable for any loss of registration and use of your domain name, or for interruption of business, or any indirect, special, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind (including lost profits) regardless of the form of action whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

13. INDEMNITY. You agree to release, indemnify, and hold us, our contractors, agents, employees, officers, directors and affiliates harmless from all liabilities, claims and expenses, including attorney's fees, from claims by third parties relating to or arising under this Agreement, the Services provided hereunder or your use of the Services, including without limitation infringement by you, or someone else using the Service with your computer, of any intellectual property or other proprietary right of any person or entity, or from the violation of any of our operating rules or policy relating to the service(s) provided. You also agree to release, indemnify and hold us harmless pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the Dispute Policy. When we are threatened with suit by a third party, we may seek written assurances from you concerning your promise to indemnify us; your failure to provide those assurances may be considered by us to be a breach of your Agreement and may result in deactivation of your domain name.

14. TRANSFER OF OWNERSHIP. Any transfer of ownership in and to a domain name registration shall be affected in accordance with our policies and procedures.

15. BREACH. You agree that failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, any operating rule or policy or the Dispute Policy, may be considered by us to be a material breach and that we may provide a written notice, describing the breach, to you. If within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of such notice, you fail to provide evidence, which is reasonably satisfactory to us, that you have not breached your obligations under the Agreement, then we may delete the registration or reservation of your domain name. Any such breach by you shall not be deemed to be excused simply because we did not act earlier in response to that, or any other, breach by you.

16. NO GUARANTY. You agree that, by registration or reservation of your chosen domain name, such registration or reservation does not confer immunity from objection to either the registration, reservation, or use of the domain name.

No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from us or through the Service shall create any warranty not expressly made herein.

23. NON-AGENCY. Nothing contained in this Agreement or the Dispute Policy shall be construed as creating any agency, partnership, or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.

24. NON-WAIVER. Our failure to require performance by you of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by us of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.


26. ENTIRETY. You agree that this Agreement, the rules and policies published by us and the Dispute Policy are the complete and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding our Services. This Agreement and the Dispute Policy supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent.
