Terms

These are the terms for using MyQR. We've kept them short and in plain language. Using the service means you agree to them.

Last updated 25 August 2026 — we set out the full copyright takedown and counter-notice process, added a repeat-infringer policy, and made our wording about how long codes keep working more precise. If we change anything that matters, we'll flag it here with a new date.

What MyQR does

MyQR turns a link you give us into a QR code and, for tracked codes, redirects scans to that link while recording scan analytics — things like city, device, and time, never names or contact details. You stay in control of where each code points.

Who can use it

You must be at least 18 years old to use MyQR. By using it, you confirm that you are.

Your account

You sign in with a one-time email link. Keep access to your email secure — anyone who can read it can sign in as you. You're responsible for the QR codes and destinations under your account.

Acceptable use

You agree not to use MyQR to point a QR code at:

  • anything illegal, or content you don't have the right to share;
  • malware, scams, phishing, or pages that deceive the person scanning;
  • material that harasses, threatens, or exploits people.

If you upload an image — for example, to style a QR code — only upload images you have the right to use. What you upload is your responsibility.

If a code is used this way, we may disable it. We'd rather warn you first, but we can act immediately when a code is harming people.

Your content

The links, codes, and data in your account are yours. You give us the permission we need to run the service — to host your codes, redirect scans, and show you analytics — and MyQR also uses scan data to run, secure, and improve the service. We don't claim ownership of your content, and we never sell your content or your scan data. See the Privacy page.

The service is provided as-is

We work hard to keep MyQR up and your redirects fast, but we can't promise it will never go down or never have a bug. The service is provided "as is," without warranties. To the extent the law allows, MyQR isn't liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of it, and our total liability for any claim is limited to $100 or, once paid plans exist, the amount you paid us in the last 12 months — whichever is greater.

The other side of that coin: MyQR is a tool, and what you point it at is yours. If the destinations you send codes to or the images you upload get us into a legal dispute, you agree to cover the costs that dispute causes us.

MyQR is evolving — we may change or retire features over time. If a change breaks something you rely on, we'll give notice, and your codes keep working as described under "Ending things."

Ending things

You can delete your account, with all its codes and data, at any time from your account page — instantly. We may suspend or close an account that breaks these terms, and we'll explain why when we do.

What happens to printed codes: if we close your account for breaking these terms, the codes involved in the violation are disabled. Codes that weren't part of the violation keep redirecting to their last destination for 30 days so your printed material isn't stranded while you make other arrangements.

That 30-day window applies only when we close an account over a violation. It's a different thing from cancel-to-static, which is about a paid subscription simply ending — those codes keep redirecting to their last destination for as long as MyQR is running.

Copyright complaints (DMCA takedown)

If you believe a MyQR code, an uploaded image, or a page hosted on myqr.dev points to or contains material that infringes your copyright, send a takedown notice to our copyright agent at hello@myqr.dev, or use the report page. We review every notice and disable infringing material.

So that we can act on it, US copyright law (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)) asks that your notice include all six of these:

  1. Your signature. Typing your full name at the bottom of the email counts as an electronic signature. You need to be the copyright owner or someone authorized to act for them.
  2. What work was copied. Name the work you say was infringed — or list them, if there are several.
  3. Where the infringing material is. The MyQR link, short URL, or page address — specific enough that we can find it without guessing.
  4. How to reach you. Your address, phone number, and email.
  5. A good-faith statement. That you believe in good faith this use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. An accuracy statement. That the information in your notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or are authorized to act for them.

One warning, because it's the law and not just our preference: knowingly misrepresenting that something is infringing can make you liable for the damages and legal costs that misrepresentation causes (17 U.S.C. §512(f)). Please be sure before you send.

When we remove something, we tell the person who posted it what happened and pass on your notice, so they can respond if they think we got it wrong.

If we removed your material: counter-notice

If something of yours was taken down and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you can send a counter-notice to hello@myqr.dev. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) it needs to include:

  1. Your signature. Again, your typed full name works.
  2. What was removed, and where it was. The link or page address as it appeared before we disabled it.
  3. A good-faith statement, under penalty of perjury. That you believe the material was removed as a result of a mistake or a misidentification.
  4. Your details and consent to jurisdiction. Your name, address, and phone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the US federal district court for the district where you live — or, if you're outside the US, any district where MyQR may be found — and that you'll accept service of process from the person who sent the takedown notice.

What happens next, in plain terms: we forward your counter-notice to whoever sent the original complaint. If they don't tell us within 10 business days that they've gone to court to stop you, we put the material back — normally between 10 and 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We keep a record of the copyright notices we act on. If the same account keeps drawing valid notices, we terminate it — in appropriate circumstances, as US copyright law puts it (17 U.S.C. §512(i)). In plain terms: one honest mistake is a mistake, a pattern is a pattern, and a pattern costs you the account. A notice you successfully answer with a counter-notice doesn't count against you.

Where closing an account would be heavy-handed, we disable the specific code or page instead. What happens to your other printed codes if we do close an account is covered under "Ending things" above.

Changes & contact

If we change these terms in a way that matters, we'll say so plainly. Questions? Email me@makais.app.
