2 Short.Url may NOT be used for the following:

• Creating Urls for use in unsolicited advertising including but not limited to: Email and forum posts (i.e. do not use for SPAM purposes)
• Linking to any file or website depicting actual or simulated child pornography
• Linking to any content which is illegal in your area
• Linking to other sites that also offer Url shortening/redirection (because creating a "chain" of redirects is often an attempt to hide malicious use, and also wastes bandwidth) - most of these should be automatically blocked anyway
• Any other use which is illegal in your area

We reserve the right to remove any shortened Urls which we deem to have violated our terms and conditions, or that violates our terms of fair usage (at our discretion). We may if we choose report use that is forbidden by our terms and conditions to the relevant governmental or law enforcement agencies, including relevant information such as the IP address of the link creator. We also reserve the right to block any abusers from using our service in future. In addition, shortened Urls may be removed retroactively if they later appear on any of the blacklists that 2 Short.Url consults.

We ask that you limit usage of our service to "reasonable" levels (reasonable usage is currently considered to be

• creating up to 5,000 new shortened Urls from a single IP address in a day or
• visiting up to 20,000 shortened Urls from a single IP address in a day

We reserve the right to remove shortened Urls from our service and/or block the abuser from our service temporarily or permanently when usage exceeds these levels.

We do not collect any personally identifying information from users of this website.

This information will not be made available to third parties.

We check submitted Urls and user IP addresses against blacklists to help prevent spam. These blacklists may be operated by third parties.

Urls shortened by our website are not private and should not be treated as such. Third parties could easily guess the short Url that you are using, so you should not use 2 Short.Url to link to sensitive or secure data.
