Last updated: May 19, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, you must not use the Services. If you use the Services on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.
2. Description of Services
QR Code & Barcode Scanner offers informational content and interactive presentations about mobile scanning, including instant QR recognition, private and secure scanning messaging, support for QR/EAN/UPC/Code128 and related formats, animated scan frames, security scores, HTTPS checks, and navigation between home and scan result pages.
The Services are intended for general educational and awareness purposes on the web. They are not a replacement for your device’s built-in camera scanner, operating-system security tools, antivirus products, or professional cybersecurity advice.
3. No Warranty of Scan Results
We do not guarantee that use of the Services will detect every code, prevent phishing, block malware, or accurately classify every URL you might encounter in real life. Visual indicators (including “Safe QR Detected,” security percentages, redirect detection, malware-scan labels, and recent-scan history) may be simulated or illustrative for demonstration within the site.
Always verify links before entering passwords or payment details. If a code appears suspicious, do not open it—contact the organization that published the code through a trusted channel.
4. Third-Party Links and Destinations
The Services may display sample URLs or buttons such as “Open Website” that lead to third-party sites. Any website or app reached through scanned content or outbound links is provided by third parties under their own terms and policies. We are not responsible for third-party content, data collection, downloads, or harm arising from your use of external destinations.
You are solely responsible for reviewing URL authenticity, TLS/HTTPS indicators, and permissions before sharing personal information or installing software suggested by a scanned code.
5. Eligibility
You must be at least 13 years old (or the minimum age in your jurisdiction) to use the Services. Where an account or registration is offered in the future, you agree to provide accurate information and keep credentials confidential. You are responsible for activity under your account.
6. Acceptable Use
You agree not to:
- Use the Services in violation of any applicable law or regulation
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to our systems, networks, or data
- Interfere with or disrupt the Services, including by automated scraping, denial-of-service, or reverse engineering except as permitted by law
- Misrepresent affiliation with QR Code & Barcode Scanner or misuse our branding
- Upload malware, spam, or harmful code
- Use the Services to create or distribute malicious QR codes, phishing pages, or deceptive redirects
- Frame or mirror the Services without our prior written consent
- Misuse analytics parameters or event names to falsify measurement data
We may suspend or terminate access for conduct we reasonably believe violates these Terms or poses risk to the Services or other users.
7. Intellectual Property
The Services, including text, graphics, logos, layouts, animations, and software, are owned by us or our licensors and protected by intellectual-property laws. You receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Services for personal, non-commercial use in accordance with these Terms. You may not copy, modify, distribute, or create derivative works without our prior written permission.
8. Disclaimers
THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE OF HARMFUL COMPONENTS.
9. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, OR GOODWILL, ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES OR RELIANCE ON SCAN OR SECURITY INFORMATION DISPLAYED THEREIN.
OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, IF ANY, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS (USD $100).
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless us and our affiliates from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your use of the Services, violation of these Terms, or infringement of any third-party rights.
11. Changes to the Services and Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Services at any time. We may update these Terms by posting a revised version with a new “Last updated” date. Material changes will be posted on this page. Continued use after changes become effective constitutes acceptance, to the extent permitted by law.
12. Governing Law and Disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer protection laws in your country of residence apply. Any dispute shall be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Santa Clara County, California, unless applicable law requires otherwise.
