Legal
Terms of service.
Last updated · 02 March 2026
1. The agreement
These terms govern your use of the GotoNow website, the free static QR generator, and the paid dynamic-code service at goto-now.link (together, "the service"). By using any of them you agree to these terms. We've written them to be readable; readable still means binding.
2. The free generator
The static QR generator on our homepage is provided free of charge, as-is, with no account required. Codes it produces are yours to use for any lawful purpose, commercially or otherwise, with no attribution owed. Because generation happens in your browser and the resulting codes don't involve our servers, we have no ongoing responsibility for them — test your codes before printing.
3. Dynamic codes & accounts
Dynamic codes and short links are a paid, account-based service. You're responsible for your account credentials, for the destinations you configure, and for having the right to direct people to those destinations. Plans bill monthly; you can cancel any time, effective at the end of the billing period.
4. Acceptable use
You may not use GotoNow codes or links to forward people to, or to distribute:
- malware, phishing pages, or credential-harvesting of any kind;
- content that is illegal in the destination's jurisdiction or ours;
- pages that impersonate another person or organization;
- deceptive schemes, including bait-and-switch destinations designed to defraud scanners.
We may disable any code, or terminate any account, that we reasonably believe violates this section — immediately and without refund where the violation is deliberate. We'd rather lose a customer than forward a scammer's traffic.
5. The redirect disclaimer
Destinations are chosen and controlled by code owners, not by GotoNow. Forwarding is a mechanical act, not an endorsement: we do not review, vouch for, or assume responsibility for the content of destination sites. If a code forwards you somewhere that appears to violate section 4, report it to abuse@goto-now.link and we will review it.
6. Service availability
We work hard to keep forwarding fast and uninterrupted, because printed codes can't show an apology page. That said, the service is provided without an uptime guarantee on self-serve plans, and brief maintenance windows or events beyond our control can occur. Our aim, always, is for downtime to be rare, short, and boring.
7. Cancellation & code parking
When a paid plan ends — by cancellation or non-payment — your codes do not go dark immediately. For 90 days they resolve to a neutral parked notice, giving you time to reactivate or transition anything already in print. After the parking period, the codes are released. Deleting your account removes your data per the privacy policy.
8. Your content and data
You retain all rights to your destinations, uploaded assets (such as logos placed in codes), and campaign names. You grant us only the license needed to operate the service — storing your settings and forwarding your scanners. Analytics about your codes are yours to export while your account is active.
9. Liability
To the maximum extent the law allows, the service is provided "as is," and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amounts you paid us in the twelve months before the claim arose. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, including the cost of reprinting materials. (Practical advice that no clause replaces: proof your codes, test a scan, and keep destinations under your control.)
10. Changes to these terms
If we change these terms materially, we'll update the date above and notify account holders by email before the changes take effect. Continued use after that date is acceptance of the new terms.
