Terms of use

What you may do

• Codes you generate are yours. We retain no licence over them and require no attribution.
• Commercial use is permitted, including on products you sell and in client work you charge for.
• There is no limit on the number of codes you may generate.
• We claim no rights over the content you encode, and we never receive it.
• You may quote and link to the guides on this site with attribution.

The website itself — its text, design, code and images — remains our property or that of our licensors, and is protected by copyright. Third-party components are used under their own licences: the QR encoder under the MIT licence, the decoder under Apache 2.0, and IBM Plex under the SIL Open Font License 1.1.

What you must not do here

• Do not use the site for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose.
• Do not attempt to gain unauthorised access to, interfere with, damage or disrupt the site or any server or network connected to it.
• Do not introduce malicious code, or attempt any denial-of-service attack.
• Do not scrape at a rate that degrades the site for others. The pages are static — mirror them if you need bulk access; the content may be quoted with attribution.
• Do not resell access to the generator or present it as your own product.
• Do not use the generator to produce codes intended to defraud, harass or mislead.

We may suspend or withdraw access to the site, in whole or in part, without notice where we reasonably believe these terms have been breached.

Limits, and what cannot be limited

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits our liability for:

• death or personal injury caused by our negligence;
• fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation;
• any other liability that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.

Subject to that, and to the fullest extent permitted by law:

• We are not liable for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of anticipated savings, loss of goodwill, or any indirect or consequential loss arising from your use of the site.
• We are specifically not liable for print costs, reprint costs, wasted materials or lost sales arising from codes that do not scan as intended.
• Because the site is free and no payment is taken, our total aggregate liability arising out of or in connection with your use of it, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, is limited to the amount you have paid to use it, which is nothing.
• We are not liable for the content, availability or policies of any third-party website or service linked from here.

If you are a consumer, you keep whatever rights the consumer law of your own country gives you, and these terms do not affect them. Nothing here limits those rights, and where your local law gives you the right to bring proceedings in your own country's courts, that right is unaffected.

If you are a business, you use the site at your own risk and the limitations above apply in full.

To the site and to these terms

We may change the site or these terms at any time. The version published here at the time you use the site is the version that applies, and the date it was last reviewed is shown at the foot of this page. We may withdraw or discontinue the site without notice, though codes you have already downloaded are files you own and are unaffected by anything that happens to this website.
