Acceptable Use Policy & Prepress Print Disclaimer
- No malicious content. Codes may not link to phishing sites, malware, scams, or illegal material.
- Proof before you print. Test-scanning a physical proof ahead of a volume run is on you, and it is the single best way to avoid a costly reprint.
- Keep the destination live. You are responsible for making sure the URL a code points at stays online and reachable.
- Respect trademarks. Only embed a logo you actually hold the rights to use.
- The service is "as-is." We hold to ISO/IEC 18004, but we cannot warrant a third party's printer calibration, so the final proof is yours to check.

Responsible Use Checklist
Scan a printed proof before you approve a high-volume run, and keep your destination URLs live — a code is only as good as the page it points at.
