What happens to your codes if we shut down

Every editable QR code depends on a server. Here is what we promise, in writing, so you can decide whether to trust ours.

Editable codes launch soon. These promises apply to every one of them from the first day.

  1. At least 180 days' notice by email and on this page.
  2. Your redirect map, every code and its destination, will be exportable from your dashboard from the first day, not just at the end.
  3. The redirect server will be open source from the day editable codes launch. Anyone will be able to run your exact code IDs on their own domain.
  4. The redirect domain is prepaid for ten years and registrar-locked. Current expiry: 2036-11-05.
  5. We will try to hand the domain and database to a successor who accepts these terms before shutting anything down.

What this is not: we don't promise to exist forever, and we don't hold an escrow fund. We promise notice, your data, the code, and a long-lived domain.

Also: we don't protect the person scanning from malicious codes made elsewhere, though we check every destination on our own codes against Google's list of unsafe sites. And we don't guarantee print quality: we give you clean files; the printer owns the ink.
