Acceptable use
Codes people can trust.
Last updated 2 October 2026
This policy is part of the terms of AriaQR, a service of Realityrift Innovations Private Limited (“Reality Rift”, “we”). It says what you may not do with our codes, links and pages, how we check them, and how anyone can report one.
On this page
What this covers
Every AriaQR code, every short link on aqr.li, every landing page we host, and everything done through the API, the MCP server or the Canva app, including by an AI assistant you connect. People scan a code or tap a link trusting where it goes. These rules protect them.
Not allowed
- Phishing and scams: pages that ask for passwords, payment or personal details under false pretences, fake shops, fake prizes, fake refunds or parcel fees.
- Malware: links to viruses, unwanted software, or downloads that hide what they install.
- Impersonation: pretending to be another person, brand, bank, government body or AriaQR itself, including look-alike short-link names and pages.
- Illegal or harmful content: anything illegal where you or the people scanning are, content that sexualises minors, content that promotes violence or harassment, and the sale of illegal goods.
- Spam: bulk unsolicited messages that use our links or codes.
- Hiding the destination: pointing a short link at another shortener or redirect, or swapping a harmless destination for a harmful one after a link has been checked.
- Abusing the service: getting around limits, caps or blocks, making accounts to evade them, attacking or overloading our systems, or using someone else’s account, key or private link without permission.
How links are checked
Every web destination is checked when a code or short link is made or changed, and every link on a landing page is checked before the page is published. We refuse internal and local addresses, bare IP addresses, links with a username or password in them, and anything Google Safe Browsing lists as malware, phishing or unwanted software. Short links also may not point at another link shortener or redirect, and their custom names may not look like another brand or a sign-in page.
Short links and free codes are checked against Google Safe Browsing again every day, because a page can turn harmful after a link was made. A link Safe Browsing flags is blocked.
What happens to a harmful link
- Refused: a destination that fails the checks above is never hosted.
- Warning: when 3 different people report a short link or a free code, visitors see a warning page before they can continue, and we email the link’s owner. Reports on paid codes come to us for review instead, because those codes are often already printed.
- Blocked: a link that Safe Browsing flags, or that we disable after review, no longer redirects anyone. Visitors see a page saying the link was stopped, with no way through. A blocked short link’s name is never given out again.
We may also remove content, unpublish a page, revoke API keys or close an account that breaks these rules, and we may report illegal content to the authorities. A link that is under review cannot be deleted by its owner until we are done.
Report a link
Seen a code, an aqr.li link or a page that leads somewhere it should not? Use the report form; you do not need an account. Paste the link, pick what is wrong, and add details if you can. You may leave an email if you want a reply. Each network counts once per link, so reporting the same link again does not add weight. You can also write to info@realityrift.co with the link or a photo of the code.
A person reviews every reported link. What we keep about a report is set out in the privacy policy.
If your link was flagged by mistake
Reply to the email we sent you, or write to info@realityrift.co with the link. If we find nothing wrong we lift the warning, and reports on that link then wait a while before they can raise it again.
