Terms of Service

Last updated: 28 June 2026

1. Agreement

By accessing or using dropd. ("the Service"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. dropd. is operated from Australia and governed by the laws of New South Wales.

2. Intended Use

dropd. is a personal productivity and developer tool designed for quickly sharing code snippets, files, images, and links. It is not a marketing platform, URL shortener for commercial campaigns, or enterprise content delivery service. Features such as QR codes are provided for convenience and short-term personal use only. If your use case depends on guaranteed availability, persistent URLs, or service-level commitments, dropd. is not the right tool.

3. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to use the Service. By using it, you confirm that you meet this requirement and that the information you provide is accurate.

4. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. You must notify us immediately at [email protected] if you suspect unauthorised access. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

5. Your Content

You retain ownership of content you submit. By uploading content, you grant dropd. a limited, non-exclusive licence to store and serve that content as necessary to operate the Service. You are solely responsible for everything you paste, upload, or share.

6. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to use the Service to distribute, store, or link to content or behaviour prohibited under our Acceptable Use Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms by reference.

7. Intellectual Property

The dropd. name, logo, and underlying software are the property of the operator. You may not reproduce or distribute them without written permission. If you believe content on the Service infringes your copyright, see our DMCA & Copyright Policy.

8. Expiry and Deletion

Anonymous pastes expire after 24 hours by default. Registered users may set pastes to never expire, but we reserve the right to remove any content at any time for any reason, including violation of these Terms or applicable law.

9. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or that content will be preserved. In particular:

  • We make no guarantee of uptime, availability, or response time.
  • Links, QR codes, and embedded content hosted on dropd. may become unavailable at any time without notice.
  • We are not responsible for any loss, including reputational or commercial loss, resulting from the Service being unavailable when a link or QR code is accessed.
  • You should not rely on dropd. as the sole access point for content in any context where availability is important.

10. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, dropd. and its operator shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising from your use of or inability to use the Service. This expressly includes any loss arising from:

  • A marketing campaign, promotion, or advertisement that relied on a dropd. link or QR code being available.
  • Printed materials, signage, packaging, or digital advertising containing dropd. URLs or QR codes that became inaccessible.
  • Any business or reputational loss resulting from downtime, content removal, or account termination.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users, us, third parties, or the public.

12. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of New South Wales, Australia. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales.

13. Changes

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms. Material changes will be noted by updating the date above.
