Acceptable use policy
QRJiffy codes, short links and hosted pages must never be used to deceive or harm the people who scan them. This policy is part of our terms of service and applies to every account and every code.
Who does this policy cover?
It covers everyone who creates a QR code, short link, link-in-bio page or hosted page on QRJiffy, on every plan, including teammates on an Advanced account. Account owners are responsible for the codes in their account, including those made by teammates. It sits alongside our terms of service.
What is never allowed?
A QRJiffy code must never send people to anything designed to trick, defraud or harm them. That includes:
- Phishing: pages that imitate a bank, payment app, government service, delivery company or any other brand to collect passwords, card details or one-time codes.
- Malware, unwanted software, or links that start downloads people did not ask for.
- Scams and fraud: fake payment requests, fake invoices or parking fines, investment or crypto schemes, fake prizes, and impersonating a person or business.
- Payment codes that pretend to belong to someone else, or that are placed over another business’s genuine QR code.
- Illegal goods or services, child sexual abuse material, content that promotes violence or terrorism, and harassment or threats.
- Hiding where a link goes to get around another service’s safety checks, such as using short links to disguise spam or blocked sites.
What are the rules for content you upload or link to?
You must own, or have permission to use, everything you upload or link to — files, logos, photos, menus and page text.
- No content that infringes copyright or trademarks, including using another company’s logo to make a code look official.
- No sexually explicit content on hosted pages.
- No personal information about other people without their consent.
- Payment, coupon and event pages must describe real offers honestly, including prices and conditions.
How must you use the service itself?
Use QRJiffy through its normal pages and features, within your plan’s limits. Do not try to break, overload or probe the service, get around scan or rate limits, create accounts in bulk, scrape other users’ codes, or share one paid account between unrelated businesses instead of using team seats.
How do you report a harmful QR code or link?
Email abuse@qrjiffy.com with the short link (it starts with qrjiffy.com/r/ or qrjiffy.com/@) and, if you can, where you saw the code. A photo of the printed code helps. We review reports within 1 business day and urgently when people are at risk. If you have already entered card or bank details on a suspicious page, contact your bank first.
What do we do when a code breaks these rules?
We can pause or delete the code, remove hosted files and pages, and suspend or close the account, without notice when people are at risk. A paused code shows a notice instead of its destination, so printed copies stop sending people to the harmful page. We may report illegal activity to the authorities and share information with them where the law requires. Refunds are not given for accounts closed for breaking this policy. If you think we acted in error, write to hello@qrjiffy.com.
