Khoz.me Terms & Conditions Of Use
Forbidden activities
khoz.me may NOT be used for the following: -
- Creating URLs that are used in unsolicited advertising including but not limited
to email and forum posts (i.e. do not use for spam purposes)
- Creating URLs that are used in any commercial email (whether opt-in or not)
- Linking to any malicious content including phishing sites and files containing
malware
- Linking to any file or website depicting actual or simulated child pornography
- 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 we believe violate the spirit of our terms or
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 khoz.me consults.
Excessive usage
We ask that you limit usage of our service to "reasonable" levels. There is
currently no fixed limit, but please don't open multiple concurrent connections
from the same machine, or undertake usage so heavy it causes service issues for
other users. 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 levels we consider reasonable.
Warranty and liability
khoz.me is provided as a free service, and as such carries no warranty of any
kind. khoz.me is not liable for any loss or problem you might suffer due to
using the service. This includes losses in the event that the service stops
operating, is unavailable or slow, suffers data loss, or any other issue which
might be considered detrimental to you.
khoz.me Privacy Policy
We do not collect any personally identifying information from users of this
website. We store only the technical information necessary to provide our URL
shortening service, such as the original long URLs. We may also store the IP
addresses of computers using the khoz.me service (and similar usage information
such as web browser/resolution) for the purposes of identifying abuse of the
service and tracking anonymous usage trends. 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 khoz.me to link to sensitive or secure data.
Anonymous statistics on shortened URLs you create (such as number of visits to
them, creation date etc.) are not treated as private and will be made available
to anyone through the site.
Third party advertising may be included on the site. Such advertisers may use
technologies such as cookies or web beacons which may allow them to access
information such as your IP address, ISP, browser etc. to be used in the course
of displaying advertising or selecting advertising to display.
