By creating an account, creating or accessing a Short Link, using the API, or otherwise using the Service, you agree to these Terms and the policies incorporated into them.
2. Definitions
“Service” means URLy websites, applications, APIs, Short Links, link-management and related functionality. “Short Link” means a shortened URL generated or managed by URLy. “Destination URL” means the URL to which a Short Link directs. “User Content” means URLs, titles, descriptions, account information and other material submitted by a user.
3. Eligibility
You must be legally capable of entering into these Terms and must comply with applicable law. If acting for an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind it.
4. Accounts and credentials
You must provide accurate information and keep credentials, authentication codes and API keys confidential. You are responsible for activity performed through your account unless caused by URLy’s own breach or another circumstance for which applicable law imposes responsibility on URLy.
5. Creating and using Short Links
You may create Short Links only for lawful and legitimate purposes. You must have the right to submit the Destination URL and any associated content. You must not use URLy to conceal unlawful activity or evade enforcement by another service.
6. Link ownership and deletion
URLy may retain, restrict, expire or delete Short Links according to applicable product rules, security needs, legal obligations and retention policies. Anonymous Short Links may be subject to a 30-day inactivity expiry rule.

8. Slug protection
URLy may protect brand names, aliases, variants, typosquats, confusable forms, system terms, sensitive terms and security-sensitive identifiers. Slug Protection decisions are ALLOW, REVIEW, RESERVED or BLOCK. RESERVED is an identifier-protection state and is distinct from content RESTRICT enforcement.
9. Destination safety and moderation
URLy may use automated and human review to assess suspicious destinations, domains, accounts and activity. Content/abuse decisions may be ALLOW, REVIEW, RESTRICT or BLOCK.
10. Security measures
URLy may rate-limit requests, log security events, restrict suspicious activity, suspend accounts and disable Short Links where reasonably necessary to protect users, third parties or the Service.
11. Suspension and termination
URLy may suspend or terminate accounts, API access or Short Links for policy violations, security risks, legal requirements, fraud, repeated abuse or other legitimate enforcement reasons. Where appropriate and legally permitted, users may request review.
12. Third-party destinations
URLy is not the creator or publisher of content hosted at third-party destinations and does not generally control that content. URLy may nevertheless restrict or disable Short Links where required by law or reasonably necessary under its policies.
13. Intellectual property
URLy software, branding, documentation and original Service materials belong to or are licensed by Firma Life. These Terms do not transfer ownership of URLy intellectual property.

15. Privacy
Personal-data processing is described in the Global Privacy Policy, Cookie Policy, KVKK Privacy Notice and GDPR / EEA & UK Privacy Notice where applicable.
16. Service availability
URLy is provided on an as-available basis. We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability, permanent retention of every Short Link, error-free operation or detection of every harmful destination.
17. Disclaimer
To the maximum extent permitted by law, URLy disclaims warranties not expressly required by applicable law, including implied warranties concerning uninterrupted availability, fitness for a particular purpose or complete security.
18. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, Firma Life is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive losses arising from use of the Service. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded.
19. Indemnification

20. Abuse, legal and IP reports
Reports may be submitted to abuse@urly.tr. Privacy, copyright, trademark and formal legal matters may be submitted to legal@urly.tr.
21. Changes
We may update these Terms as the Service, law or security requirements change. Material changes may be communicated through the Service or other appropriate means.
22. Severability and entire agreement
If a provision is unenforceable, the remainder remains effective to the extent permitted by law. These Terms and incorporated policies form the agreement governing use of the Service.
Legal entity and contact
URLy is operated by Firma Life. Registered address: Firma Life, Horozluhan Mah. Öksüz Cad. No: 168, Selçuklu / Konya, Türkiye. General support is available at support@urly.tr; abuse and security reports at abuse@urly.tr; legal, privacy, copyright and trademark matters at legal@urly.tr.
Governing law
Unless mandatory law provides otherwise, the laws of the Republic of Türkiye govern. The competent courts and enforcement offices of Konya, Türkiye have jurisdiction, subject to mandatory rights and jurisdictional rules that cannot lawfully be waived.
Accounts, verification and security
URLy may require email verification, security checks, CAPTCHA or other verification mechanisms where implemented. Users must promptly notify URLy of suspected unauthorized access. URLy may require password resets, API-key rotation or other protective measures following a suspected compromise. A user must not attempt to access another user’s account, session or API credentials.
API use
API access is subject to documented limits and may be suspended when traffic is abusive, anomalous, automated in a harmful manner or inconsistent with the stated purpose of an API application. API keys are confidential credentials and must not be embedded in publicly accessible client-side code when doing so would expose them.
Link analytics
Click and access analytics may be affected by browsers, privacy tools, caching, bots, security scanners, corporate proxies and other technical conditions. Analytics are therefore estimates and should not be interpreted as guaranteed unique-person measurements.
Passwords and protected links
Where URLy offers password-protected Short Links, the password is an additional access control and does not make an otherwise unlawful destination permissible. Users remain responsible for the Destination URL.
Expiration and limits
Short Links may be subject to expiration dates, click limits, account quotas, inactivity rules or other product constraints. URLy may change operational limits for security, capacity or abuse-prevention reasons.
Brand and reserved identifiers
A user may not claim a reserved slug merely because it is technically available. URLy may reserve identifiers to reduce impersonation, confusion, abuse or trademark-related risk.
Third-party services
A Short Link may redirect to a service that has its own terms, privacy practices, cookies and security risks. Users should evaluate destinations before entering credentials or personal information.
Notices and communications
URLy may send transactional communications concerning verification, security, account status, policy enforcement, legal requests and service operation. Users may not disable communications that are necessary for security or legal compliance.
User cooperation
Users must reasonably cooperate with investigations concerning abuse, security incidents, legal process or rights complaints. Failure to cooperate may result in temporary restriction where reasonably necessary.
Survival
Provisions concerning intellectual property, privacy, liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, legal compliance and records that by their nature should survive termination will survive termination.
