Acceptable Use Policy
Last updated: 23 August 2026
Short links inherit the trust of the domain that serves them. To protect every customer who shares an EndURL link, the following uses are prohibited and enforced.
1. Prohibited destinations and uses
You may not create links that point to, distribute, or facilitate:
- Malware, spyware or any harmful code
- Phishing, credential harvesting or brand impersonation
- Content that is illegal in targeted jurisdictions, including CSAM (reported to authorities)
- Deceptive practices: fake giveaways, cloaked affiliate schemes, misleading redirects
- Bulk unsolicited messaging (spam) campaigns
- Circumvention of another platform's security or moderation controls
- Doxxing or content that incites violence against individuals or groups
2. Technical abuse
Automated abuse of the platform itself is also prohibited: attempting to bypass rate limits or plan entitlements, scanning for slugs, redirect-chain laundering through multiple shorteners to obscure a final destination, and load testing without written permission.
3. Enforcement
We combine automated destination screening with a human-reviewed abuse queue fed by /report-abuse. Depending on severity we may block individual links, block destinations platform-wide, suspend accounts or workspaces, and preserve evidence for law enforcement. Deliberate, severe violations are not entitled to prior notice.
4. Reporting
Anyone can report a link at /report-abuse — no account required. Reports are triaged promptly; malicious links stop resolving platform-wide within minutes of being blocked.
