Terms of Service and Use

1. Acceptance of Terms

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and MONOLITH LABS LTD (the “Company”). By generating a QR code, or by otherwise accessing or using the GETQR.PRO website (the “Service”), you automatically and irrevocably agree to be bound by all of these Terms. Your use of the core functionality of the Service constitutes your legally binding acceptance of this agreement. If you do not agree to all of these Terms, you are expressly prohibited from using the Service and must discontinue use immediately.

2. Nature of the Service — Client-Side Generation

2.1. Local Processing Only. GETQR.PRO is a technical browser-based interface. All QR code generation is performed exclusively within your local browser environment using client-side code. Your input data — including any URLs, text, contact information, or other content you choose to encode — does not transit to, reach, or touch the Company’s servers at any point during the generation process.

2.2. Zero Data Storage. The Company does not store, log, monitor, intercept, or retain any record of the content you encode into any QR code generated through the Service. The Company has no technical access to your input data and therefore no ability to review, moderate, or verify it.

2.3. No Endorsement of Content. The display of the Service’s interface does not constitute any endorsement, approval, or representation by the Company regarding the lawfulness, safety, accuracy, or appropriateness of any content you choose to encode. The Company is a neutral technical tool provider only.

2.4. Output Ownership and Responsibility. QR codes generated through the Service are your own output. You are solely and absolutely responsible for the content you encode, the destinations to which your QR codes direct, and all legal, regulatory, and commercial consequences arising from the creation, distribution, and use of any QR code generated through the Service.

3. Monetisation and Advertising

3.1. Ad-Supported Model. The Service is provided free of charge strictly in exchange for the display of third-party advertisements. By using the Service, you expressly agree to the display of advertisements within the Service interface. You agree not to use any ad-blocking software, browser extension, technical measure, or other means to suppress, block, modify, circumvent, or interfere with the display of advertisements in a manner that undermines the Company’s ability to provide the Service on a free-of-charge basis. Systematic circumvention of advertising constitutes a breach of your licence to use the Service and entitles the Company to deny you access.

3.2. Third-Party Advertising Networks. Advertisements displayed within the Service are served by independent third-party advertising networks. The Company does not audit, control, endorse, or assume responsibility for: the content of any advertisement; the accuracy of any advertiser’s claims; the security or safety of any external website or service to which an advertisement links; or any product or service offered by any advertiser. Your interaction with any advertisement or advertiser is entirely at your own risk and governed solely by that advertiser’s terms and conditions.

3.3. No Liability for Advertising Content. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of England and Wales, the Company shall have no liability for any loss, damage, or harm arising from your interaction with any advertisement displayed within the Service, including through click-through to external websites.

4. Prohibited Use

You agree not to use the Service to generate QR codes that:

• Link to, promote, or facilitate any illegal activity, malware, ransomware, spyware, or other malicious software.
• Facilitate phishing, fraud, identity theft, or any deceptive practice.
• Infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of any third party.
• Contain, promote, or link to content that is defamatory, obscene, harassing, or otherwise unlawful under the laws of England and Wales.
• Facilitate any money laundering, terrorist financing, or sanctions evasion activity.
• Constitute unauthorised commercial exploitation of any third party’s intellectual property, including embedding trademarked logos or branding without authorisation.

The Company reserves the right to report any suspected illegal activity to relevant law enforcement authorities without prior notice to you.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1. Ownership. All rights, title, and interest in and to GETQR.PRO — including its source code, UI/UX design, visual branding, trademarks, and all associated intellectual property — are the exclusive property of MONOLITH LABS LTD, protected pursuant to the Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 and all applicable intellectual property law. You are granted a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to use the Service solely for lawful purposes in accordance with these Terms.

5.2. Output Licence. QR codes generated through the Service are your own output. The Company grants you a perpetual, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, and distribute QR codes generated through the Service for any lawful personal or commercial purpose, subject to the prohibited use restrictions in Section 4. You must independently ensure that you have all necessary rights, licences, and permissions in respect of any logos, trademarks, images, or third-party intellectual property you incorporate into your QR codes. The Company accepts no liability for any intellectual property infringement arising from content you choose to encode.

5.3. Feedback. If you provide any feedback, suggestions, or ideas regarding the Service, you hereby assign to the Company all rights, title, and interest in such feedback without any obligation of confidentiality or compensation to you.

5.4. Database Rights. The Company asserts all rights in respect of any databases, data compilations, or structured datasets comprised within or generated by the Service, including the sui generis database right pursuant to the Copyright and Rights in Databases Regulations 1997 (SI 1997/3032), as retained in UK domestic law following the European Union (Withdrawal) Act 2018. Any automated extraction of data from the Service is strictly prohibited.

6. Assumption of Risk

You explicitly acknowledge the following risks inherent in using the Service:

• QR codes may fail to scan correctly depending on print quality, display resolution, lighting conditions, or reader software.
• The Company makes no warranty that any QR code generated will be scannable, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose.
• The destination URLs or content encoded in QR codes may change, expire, or become unavailable after generation. The Company has no control over and accepts no responsibility for any external destination linked via a generated QR code.
• Third-party recipients of your QR codes may encounter security warnings or restrictions from their devices or software. The Company accepts no liability for such outcomes.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by UK law, MONOLITH LABS LTD disclaims all warranties, express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, scanability, accuracy, and non-infringement. The Company does not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or fully secure.

8. Limitation of Liability

8.1. Exclusion of Indirect Damages. To the maximum extent permitted by the laws of England and Wales, MONOLITH LABS LTD, its directors, employees, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, loss of revenue, loss of data, loss of business, or reputational damage — arising from your use of or inability to use the Service, including from QR code failure, scanning errors, or inappropriate use of generated output.

8.2. Liability Cap. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Company’s total aggregate liability to you arising out of or related to these Terms or the Service is strictly capped at £50 (Fifty British Pounds). This cap reflects the following objectively reasonable factors: (i) the Service is provided entirely free of charge; (ii) all QR code generation is performed locally within your browser and the Company has no access to or control over your input data or output; (iii) the Company derives no economic benefit from the value or content of any QR code you generate; and (iv) you have been expressly warned of all material risks prior to use. This cap was assessed as reasonable having regard to Schedule 2 of the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977.

8.3. Statutory Rights. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for death or personal injury caused by the Company’s negligence, or for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, as such liabilities cannot be legally excluded under the Unfair Contract Terms Act 1977 or the Consumer Rights Act 2015.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MONOLITH LABS LTD, its directors, officers, and affiliates from any claims, damages, liabilities, costs, or legal fees arising out of: your use of the Service; your violation of these Terms; any content you encode in a QR code generated through the Service; any intellectual property infringement arising from your output; or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

10.1. The Company reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice, and without liability to you.

10.2. The Company reserves the right to deny access to the Service to any user who breaches these Terms, including through systematic ad-blocking or prohibited use of the Service, without prior notice and without liability.

11. Force Majeure

The Company shall not be liable for any delay or failure to provide the Service where such delay or failure results from any cause beyond our reasonable control, including acts of God, power outages, telecommunications failures, internet infrastructure failures, cyberattacks, or acts of government.

12. Privacy and Data Protection

The Company processes minimal technical data in connection with your use of the Service (such as IP addresses for security and infrastructure purposes) in accordance with its Privacy Policy, and in compliance with the UK General Data Protection Regulation (UK GDPR) and the Data Protection Act 2018. As set out in Section 2, the Company does not receive, store, or process any content you encode into QR codes generated through the Service.

13. General Provisions

13.1. Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, it shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions.

13.2. Third-Party Rights. No person who is not a party to these Terms has any right under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 to enforce any term of these Terms.

13.3. Prevailing Language. The English language version of these Terms shall exclusively prevail in the event of any discrepancy in translation.

13.5. Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy referenced in Section 12, constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company regarding the Service, superseding all prior discussions or representations.

13.6. No Waiver. The failure of the Company to enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision.

14. Modifications to These Terms

The Company reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time at its sole discretion. Changes will be indicated by updating the Effective Date at the top of this document. Your continued use of the Service following any update constitutes your binding acceptance of the revised Terms. It is your sole obligation to review these Terms periodically.

15. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution

15.1. Governing Law. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of England and Wales.

15.2. Arbitration. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration under the Rules of the London Court of International Arbitration (LCIA), with the seat of arbitration in London, England. The language of arbitration shall be English. Nothing in this clause prevents either party from seeking urgent interim injunctive relief from a court of competent jurisdiction where necessary to prevent irreparable harm.

15.3. Class Action Waiver. You agree that any claims must be brought in an individual capacity only. You expressly waive any right to participate in any class action or representative proceeding against the Company.

15.5. Legal Fees. The arbitral tribunal may award the prevailing party its reasonable legal fees and costs on an indemnity basis. The tribunal shall give particular weight to awarding such costs against any party bringing a claim that is frivolous, vexatious, or without merit.

15.6. Consumer Rights. Nothing in this Section 15 excludes or restricts any rights you may have under mandatory consumer protection law to bring proceedings before a competent court or regulatory authority. Where such rights cannot lawfully be excluded, they are expressly preserved.
