By submitting or displaying content through the Service (“Your Content”), you grant T.LY a non-exclusive, worldwide, irrevocable, sublicensable license to use, reproduce, adapt, publish, analyze, scan, display, route, redirect, disable, preserve, and distribute Your Content as needed to operate, secure, enforce, improve, and provide the Service.

6. Safety Checks and Abuse Response
T.LY takes abuse seriously and uses commercially reasonable efforts to detect, block, disable, and respond to phishing, scams, malware, fraud, spam, impersonation, and other harmful activity. These efforts may include automated detection, AI review, third-party security providers, public and private blocklists, manual review, user reports, rate limits, account restrictions, domain restrictions, warning pages, and cooperation with law enforcement or affected third parties.
No safety system catches every bad link. T.LY does not promise that every short link, QR code, destination URL, custom domain, or third-party website is safe, accurate, lawful, available, or free from harmful content. You should not rely on T.LY as your only safety check before clicking a link, entering information, downloading files, sending money, or completing a transaction.
If you discover a suspicious or abusive T.LY link, report it at https://t.ly/safety/report or email [email protected].

T.LY is not responsible for losses, damages, claims, charges, transactions, identity theft, credential theft, malware infections, business interruption, reputational harm, or other injury arising from third-party destinations, user-submitted URLs, or content routed through the Service.
Any transaction, communication, login, download, purchase, donation, investment, payment, account change, or other interaction between you and a third party is solely between you and that third party.

12. Termination and Enforcement
T.LY reserves the right to suspend or terminate your access to the Service at any time for violations of these Terms or applicable laws. We may disable links, QR codes, domains, API access, or accounts; preserve relevant records; investigate suspected abuse; and disclose user data, URLs, destination information, IP addresses, usage history, account information, payment identifiers, and related records to law enforcement, regulators, security researchers, affected platforms, affected brands, payment processors, hosting providers, domain registrars, infrastructure providers, or other third parties when we believe disclosure is reasonably necessary to investigate, prevent, stop, or respond to abuse, fraud, phishing, malware, security incidents, legal claims, or legal obligations.
