Terms of Service & Privacy Policy

01. Acceptance of Terms

By utilizing, accessing, or generating links through klar.rip (the "Service") via the Klar Bot dashboard, APIs, or website, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these terms, you must discontinue use of the Service immediately.

02. Absolute Right to Moderate & Remove Links

We retain full and unrestricted ownership of the shortener routing domain and infrastructure. We reserve the absolute right to:

Review, audit, or inspect any shortened link, its destination target, and redirect patterns.
Modify, deactivate, disable, or permanently delete any shortened link at any time, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice or liability.
Enforce our own internal moderation rules, safety heuristics, and community standards at our sole discretion.

03. Service Sustainability & Right to Discontinue

Economic & Operational Sustainability Notice

klar.rip is an optional value-added sub-feature provided to eligible premium servers. We explicitly reserve the right to alter, restrict, throttle, suspend, or permanently terminate and shut down the entire link shortening microservice at any time without compensation or liability, including but not limited to situations where user demand is insufficient, operating or infrastructure costs are unsustainable, or where running the service results in a net operational loss.

04. Acceptable Use & Zero-Tolerance Abuse Policy

The Service may only be used for lawful, legitimate community links. You strictly agree NOT to create or propagate shortened links that direct to:

Phishing pages, credential harvesters, or deceptive login portals (especially Discord, Steam, or Roblox impersonators).
Malicious software, Trojans, viruses, keyloggers, or executable payload downloads (e.g. .exe, .scr, .bat, .vbs, .msi).
IP grabbers, deanonymization tools, or unauthorized tracking mechanisms.
Illegal content, malware distribution networks, server raid coordination, harassment, or CSAM.
Recursive loops, DDoS attack vectors, or SSRF attacks directed against internal networks or cloud metadata endpoints.

Consequence of Abuse

Violating this policy will result in immediate and permanent revocation of your server's Klar Premium status without refund, followed by a permanent global ban of both the Discord guild and the offending user from Klar Bot and all affiliated services.

05. Telemetry & Privacy Policy

We prioritize speed, security, and minimal data retention:

IP Hashing: We do not store raw IP addresses of visitors. Visitor IP addresses are immediately hashed using SHA-256 with an internal salt to generate an irreversible pseudo-identifier used solely for click uniqueness and rate-limiting.
Click Telemetry: We record the timestamp, HTTP Referrer header, User-Agent header, and broad geographic country code (provided by Cloudflare CDN edge headers).
No Data Brokering: We never sell, rent, or trade click data or analytics to third-party ad networks or brokers.

06. Disclaimers & Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied.

Shortened links redirect to external, third-party web pages created by independent Discord server administrators. klar.rip and Klar Bot do not endorse, sponsor, inspect, or verify the content of third-party websites. Users browse linked destinations entirely at their own risk. Under no circumstances shall the operators of Klar Bot or klar.rip be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages resulting from the use or inability to use this service.

07. Abuse Reports & Inquiries

If you encounter a shortened link on klar.rip that violates these terms or appears to distribute malware or phishing, please report it immediately through our official Discord support server or directly to the platform administrators.
