Terms of Service

Effective: July 1, 2025. Last updated: July 20, 2026.

Welcome to QRLife. These are the rules. We wrote them in plain English on purpose — if you can't understand a contract, it isn't protecting you. QRLife.me is operated by Mr Chris Does Stuff LLC, a Florida limited liability company ("QRLife," "we," "us"). By creating an account or using the service, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

1. The service

QRLife lets you create QR codes and the cards behind them — profile cards, link-in-bio pages, forwarders, WiFi cards, Guardian lost-and-found tags, storage labels, and file cards. Some things to know about how codes work:

  • Dynamic vs. static. New codes are dynamic — you can change where they point. On the free plan, a code stays dynamic for 14 days after creation, then becomes static at its last destination. Static codes keep scanning and keep working; you just can't edit them. Paid plans keep codes dynamic for as long as the plan is active; when a paid plan ends, codes become static — they do not break.
  • The 99-Year Promise. Our service commitments about code longevity, export, and wind-down are published at qrlife.me/promise and are part of these Terms as service commitments (not a warranty or insurance product).

2. Your account

You must be at least 13 years old (and old enough to consent to these Terms where you live). You are responsible for your account, your password, and everything published under your codes. One person per account — keep your login to yourself.

3. Humans only — no bots, no gaming the system

QRLife is built for people. You agree not to:

  1. Create accounts, cards, or codes by automated means, or operate accounts with bots, scripts, or headless browsers — a human must perform account actions;
  2. Artificially inflate scans, signups, referral credits, or any counter (including the Beta-account counter) by automation, scan farms, incentivized-click schemes, or any other manipulation;
  3. Scrape, harvest, or bulk-download content or data from the service, or probe, overload, or interfere with our infrastructure;
  4. Resell, sublicense, or white-label the service, or register accounts to hoard Beta or promotional slots;
  5. Circumvent plan limits, pricing, or technical restrictions.

We build for humans and we defend the counters our community trusts. Violations of this section are the fastest way to lose an account.

4. Acceptable use — what your codes may not point to or contain

You're free to use your codes for pretty much anything lawful — your links, your business, your lighter, your moving boxes. You may NOT use QRLife to host, link to, or distribute:

  1. Anything illegal under U.S. federal law or Florida law, or content that facilitates illegal activity;
  2. Content that sexually exploits or endangers minors in any form (zero tolerance — reported to NCMEC and law enforcement);
  3. Adult / pornographic content;
  4. Spam, phishing, malware, spyware, or deceptive redirects (including bait-and-switch destination changes designed to defraud people who scanned a legitimate code);
  5. Scams, pyramid schemes, counterfeit goods, or fraudulent offers;
  6. Content that infringes someone else's copyright, trademark, or publicity rights;
  7. Harassment, threats, doxxing, or content inciting violence.

We may set codes to static, disable them, or remove codes and accounts that violate this section. Codes removed for violations are excluded from the 99-Year Promise. Where we reasonably can, we'll tell you what happened and give you a chance to fix honest mistakes — we're not in the gotcha business.

5. Plans, billing, and the 14-day guarantee

Prices are posted at qrlife.me and may change with notice; changes never apply retroactively to time you've already paid for, and free-for-life tiers (Beta, Founder, Influencer) stay free for life (see section 5A on account dormancy — archiving doesn't cost you free-for-life status). Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel; cancel anytime and your plan runs through the period you paid for, then your codes become static (they never break). Every paid plan carries a 14-day money-back guarantee — tell us within 14 days of purchase and we refund it, no essay required. Refunded lifetime purchases lose lifetime status. Where required, sales tax is added at checkout.

5A. Codes are forever. Accounts need a heartbeat.

Codes. Your codes don't expire. We don't delete codes for inactivity — not after a year, not after ten. A label on a box in your attic is allowed to stay quiet for decades and still work the day someone finally scans it. That's the whole point of QRLife, and it's written down in the 99-Year Promise. (You can delete your own codes anytime, of course.)

Accounts. We just need a heartbeat. Sign in at least once a year and your account stays active. After 12 months without a sign-in we'll email you a nudge; after 24 months we archive the account — sign-in is disabled until you reactivate by verifying your email, which you can do whenever you come back, no deadline. Archiving never breaks anything: every one of your codes keeps resolving the entire time, and free-for-life status survives archiving too. We only ever delete an account and its data when you ask us to (see the Privacy Policy).

We will always email the address on your account before it changes state. Keeping that address current is your job; sending the warnings is ours.

6. Your content

You own your content. You grant us a limited license to host, store, display, and transmit it — solely to run the service (that's what makes your card appear when someone scans it). You're responsible for having the rights to what you publish and for what your codes point to. If you delete content or your account, we stop displaying it (backups purge on our published retention schedule).

7. Copyright complaints (DMCA)

Send takedown notices to legal@qrlife.me with the standard DMCA elements (identification of the work, the infringing URL/code, your contact info, good-faith statement, signature). We remove infringing material promptly, accept counter-notices, and terminate repeat infringers.

8. Real-world items (Guardian, WiFi, storage)

Guardian tags, WiFi cards, and storage labels connect codes to physical things. We provide the plumbing, not promises about the physical world: we can't guarantee a lost item gets returned, that a finder will scan the tag, or that people you share WiFi with behave. Don't put secrets you can't afford to share on a card, and update your Guardian contact info when it changes.

9. Third-party destinations

Codes point at destinations their owners choose. We don't control, endorse, or vouch for third-party sites a code resolves to. Scan like a grown-up.

10. Disclaimers

Except for the express commitments in these Terms and the 99-Year Promise, the service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. We don't warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation.

11. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, QRLife's total liability for all claims in any 12-month period is limited to the greater of (a) $100 or (b) the amount you paid us in that period. We are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill. Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limits, so some of this may not apply to you.

12. Indemnification

If your content or your use of the service gets us sued, you'll defend and indemnify us against those claims, including reasonable attorneys' fees.

13. Disputes — talk first, then arbitration, no class actions

  • Talk to us first. Email legal@qrlife.me with your name, account, and the issue. We get 60 days to make it right — most things are a five-minute fix, not a legal matter.
  • Binding arbitration. If we can't resolve it, disputes are settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, in Florida or remotely by videoconference. Judgment may be entered in any court with jurisdiction.
  • Class-action waiver. Disputes are individual: no class actions, class arbitrations, or representative proceedings.
  • Small-claims carve-out. Either of us may bring an individual claim in small-claims court instead.
  • 30-day opt-out. You may opt out of arbitration by emailing legal@qrlife.me within 30 days of first accepting these Terms.

14. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to conflict-of-law rules.

15. Changes to these Terms

If we make a material change, we'll email account holders at least 14 days before it takes effect and post the update date at the top. Keep using the service after that and the new Terms apply. We will never use a Terms update to quietly break the 99-Year Promise or the privacy commitments — those change only with loud, explicit notice.

16. The boring rest

If a provision is unenforceable, the rest survives. These Terms plus the Privacy Policy and the 99-Year Promise are the whole agreement. We may assign these Terms in a merger or sale (the Promise transfers with them); you may not assign your account. Failure to enforce isn't waiver.
