Terms of Service — 短.在线

Version: v0-draft
Last updated: 2026-09-13

DRAFT — NOT LEGAL ADVICE — NOT YET IN FORCE for production. Founder accepted for soft-launch prep (2026-09-13); live publish needs a separate explicit go-ahead.
Governing law / venue: Singapore. Contracting party: Arasaka Ltd. Soft-launch prep only — not production-published / not in force until explicit go-ahead.

1. Parties and acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a contract between you and Arasaka Ltd (“we,” “us,” or “短.在线”) governing access to and use of the 短.在线 service at 短.在线 / related domains and applications (the “Service”).

By creating a short link (including anonymously), creating an account, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and to our Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”), which is incorporated by reference. If you use the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization.

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

2. Description of the Service

短.在线 is a bilingual (中文 / English) smart-link, QR, and attribution SaaS. Core capabilities (as available on your plan) include creating short links and QR codes, optional custom aliases/domains, campaign-oriented analytics, and related APIs.

Technical base (disclosure): redirect/data-plane functionality is powered by the Shlink engine (MIT-licensed), operated via API; the control plane is built with Next.js. We do not use an AGPL product base for the SaaS. We do not offer “防红” (anti-block / censorship-evasion) as a product feature.

What we do not promise in MVP docs:

  • Mainland China ICP / 备案 hosting or China Network acceleration as an MVP commitment.
  • That any destination URL is safe, lawful, or endorsed by us.
  • Interstitial advertising on redirects — we do not insert interstitial ads on redirect hops.

Analytics shown to Free creators (UI): country, device class, referrer host, and whether the visit was via QR vs link. The creator UI does not display raw IP addresses or precise street-level location.

Public analytics cards: available only if you opt in; they show aggregate counts only. Do not put emails, real names, or other personal data in titles or aliases displayed on public cards. You are responsible for content you publish on cards.

3. Anonymous use and accounts

3.1 Anonymous (signed-out) use

You may create a limited number of short links without an account, subject to abuse controls:

  • Quota: up to 3 links per IP per UTC calendar day, unless we apply a stricter limit based on risk.
  • Burst: up to 2 creates per minute.
  • Risk gates: we may require CAPTCHA (or equivalent) when risk_score ≥ 60, or on a second anonymous create in the same hour without cookie continuity; we may block earlier than the daily quota when risk scoring indicates abuse.
  • Soft prompt to register so you can keep link history and manage links later — registration is encouraged, not a hard wall after the first link.

Anonymous links may be harder to recover or manage; we may refuse or expire anonymous capacity at our discretion for safety.

3.2 Accounts

Account features (history, higher limits, billing, custom domains, API keys, etc.) require registration with accurate information and a secure credential. You are responsible for activity under your account. Notify us promptly of unauthorized access.

Authenticated Free plan create limits (Product lock P-05, until Product revises plans):

  • Up to 15 links per account per calendar month.
  • Burst up to 10 creates per minute.

Higher paid quotas may apply when offered. All creates remain subject to the AUP and risk controls.

Eligibility: you must be able to form a binding contract under applicable law (typically at least 16 or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction for account features involving personal data; higher if local law requires). Do not use the Service if prohibited by applicable sanctions or export rules.

4. Acceptable Use (incorporation)

You must comply with the AUP. We may rate-limit, scan destinations, quarantine links, suspend or terminate accounts or anonymous capacity, and remove or disable short links that violate the AUP or these Terms. Decisions may be automated in part and reviewed operationally; see the AUP for reporting and appeals.

5. Your content and destinations

You (not 短.在线) are solely responsible for:

  • Destination URLs and any content reachable through them.
  • Titles, aliases, QR artwork metadata, and public analytics card text.
  • Ensuring you have rights to shorten and distribute the destinations and that they comply with law and the AUP.

We do not endorse destinations. Shortening a URL does not make us the publisher of the destination. We may act on notices of unlawful or abusive destinations as described in the AUP.

PII warning: do not place personal data (emails, names, phone numbers, precise identifiers) in public titles, aliases, or card copy.

6. Plans, billing, and Stripe

Paid plans (when offered) are billed via Stripe (or a successor processor we disclose). Prices, quotas, and features are described at purchase time. Taxes may apply. Unless required by law or stated otherwise at purchase:

  • Fees are generally non-refundable for unused periods after a billing cycle starts.
  • Non-payment may result in suspension of paid features.

Data Processing Agreements (DPA): a light DPA will be made available for paid plans (product milestone v1b). A fuller attribution-oriented DPA will be offered when customer webhooks ship (v1c). Until then, these Terms and the Privacy Policy describe how we process data for the Service.

7. Custom domains

If you attach a custom domain, you must control DNS, comply with our technical requirements (including TLS), and ensure the domain does not infringe others’ rights. You remain responsible for content and destinations served under your domain. We may suspend custom-domain routing for abuse, security, or non-payment.

8. API

API access (when enabled) requires keys you must keep confidential. Use is subject to documented rate limits, the AUP, and these Terms. We may revoke keys for abuse, security risk, or plan limits. Do not use the API to circumvent anonymous or plan quotas, scanning, or safety controls.

9. Disclaimers

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE OPERATION, THAT DESTINATIONS ARE SAFE, OR THAT ABUSE DETECTION WILL CATCH EVERY HARMFUL LINK.

We do not sell identifiable clickstreams. Aggregate, non-identifying benchmarks may be used as described in the Privacy Policy.

10. Limitation of liability and indemnity

Limitation. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Arasaka Ltd and its directors, employees, and suppliers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenues, data, or goodwill, arising from the Service or destinations third parties host. Our aggregate liability for claims relating to the Service in any twelve-month period is limited to the greater of (a) fees you paid us for the Service in that period or (b) USD 50 (or local equivalent), except where liability cannot be limited (e.g. death/personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or other non-waivable rights).

Indemnity. You will defend and indemnify us against claims arising from your destinations, your content (including public cards), your breach of these Terms or the AUP, or your violation of law—except to the extent caused by our willful misconduct.

Nothing in these Terms limits non-waivable consumer rights in your place of residence.

11. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate access (including individual short links, anonymous IP capacity, or accounts) for AUP violations, legal risk, unpaid fees, prolonged inactivity, or to protect the Service, users, or the public. You may stop using the Service at any time; account closure instructions will be provided in-product when available. Provisions that by nature should survive (including §§5, 9–12, and accrued payment obligations) survive termination.

12. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of Singapore, without regard to conflict-of-law rules, except that mandatory consumer protections of your habitual residence may still apply.

Disputes: please contact us first at the notice address below to seek an informal resolution. If unresolved, exclusive venue for courts (or arbitration if later specified for your region) is Singapore, subject to mandatory local consumer forum rights.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms. For material changes, we will provide reasonable notice (e.g. in-product or email to account holders) before they take effect, except where required sooner for legal or safety reasons. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance, unless applicable law requires a different mechanism.
