Terms of Use

These terms govern your use of OdyLinks (the “service”), operated by Odiyansh Private Limited(“we”, “us”). By building, publishing, editing or visiting a contact page you accept them. If you do not accept them, do not use the service.

If you are using the service for an organisation, you confirm you are authorised to bind that organisation, and “you” means both you and it.

Our Privacy Policy forms part of this agreement.

The service lets you compose a contact page, publish it at a link, get a QR code for that link, and let visitors download a contact card. It is offered free of charge and without an account.

A published page is public. It is not password protected, not access controlled, and may be found by search engines. Publish only what you are content for anyone at all to read.

There are no accounts and no passwords. A page is controlled by whoever holds its edit key, issued once when the page is published and contained in your edit link.

• Keep it. We cannot recover it for you, because we hold nothing that identifies you as the page’s author. If you lose it, you lose the ability to edit or delete that page.
• Keep it private. Anyone holding it can change or delete your page. If you think it has been seen, replace it from the builder, which invalidates the old one immediately.
• We treat the holder as the author. We have no way to distinguish you from someone who obtained your key, and we act on the key.

Your content remains yours. We claim no ownership of it. You grant us only the permission we need to run the service: to store your content, and to reproduce and display it to people who open your page, for as long as you keep it published. That permission ends when you delete the page, save for copies already beyond our control such as search engine caches.

By publishing, you confirm that:

• the content is yours to publish, and does not infringe anyone else’s copyright, trade mark or other rights;
• where it contains another identifiable person’s details or photograph, you have that person’s consent;
• it is accurate, and it does not impersonate any person or organisation or falsely suggest an association with one;
• you are 18 or older.

You must not use the service to publish, host or transmit anything that:

• belongs to someone else and to which you have no right, or infringes any patent, trade mark, copyright or other proprietary right;
• is obscene, pornographic, paedophilic, or invasive of another’s privacy including bodily privacy;
• is defamatory, harassing, or harmful on the grounds of gender, or is racially or ethnically objectionable;
• relates to or encourages money laundering or gambling, or is otherwise unlawful in any manner;
• is harmful to a child, or is directed at one;
• impersonates another person, or deceives or misleads about the origin of a message;
• threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security or sovereignty of India, its friendly relations with foreign states, or public order, or incites any cognisable offence, or prevents the investigation of one;
• contains a software virus or any other code designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer resource;
• is knowingly false or misleading in nature, communicated as fact;
• constitutes unsolicited bulk communication, a phishing page, or a means of harvesting other people’s data.

The categories above follow Rule 3(1)(b) of the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021, and apply wherever you are, not only in India.

You must also not:

• attempt to gain access to a page whose edit key you were not given, or to any part of our systems you were not offered;
• probe, scan or test the vulnerability of the service, or breach or circumvent its security or rate limits;
• use automated means to create pages in bulk, enumerate usernames, or scrape published pages;
• place a load on the service that disrupts it for others.

Usernames are allocated on a first-come basis. A username is not property, is not sold, and is held only for as long as the page it points at exists — deleting a page releases its username for anyone else to claim.

We may reclaim or reassign a username that impersonates a person or organisation, infringes a trade mark, was registered in bulk or by automated means, or was registered principally to prevent someone else from using it or to sell it on.

We do not review pages before they are published, and we do not monitor them generally. We are an intermediary within the meaning of section 2(1)(w) of the Information Technology Act, 2000, and we rely on the safe harbour in section 79 of that Act and on the equivalent protections elsewhere.

We may remove a page, disable a link, or reclaim a username without notice where we reasonably believe it breaches these terms, where we are required to by law or by a court or authorised agency, or where leaving it up would expose us or others to harm or liability. Where notice is practicable and lawful, we will give it.

To report a page, use the route in section 12. Tell us the exact link and what is wrong with it. We acknowledge complaints within 24 hours and resolve them within 15 days, as Rule 3(2) of the IT Rules 2021 requires. Content that is unlawful on its face — in particular material depicting a person in a sexual act, or impersonating one — is removed within 24 hours of a valid complaint.

The service is provided as it stands. We do not promise it will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, and we may change, suspend or withdraw any part of it at any time.

Do not treat a published page as your only copy. Keep your own record of what you published. A QR code you have printed depends on this service continuing to run at that address; if you intend to print one at scale, weigh that.

A contact page carries links you supply, to sites we neither control nor endorse. Following one takes you outside this service and into whatever terms and privacy practices apply there. We are not responsible for those sites or for anything you do on them.

Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability that cannot lawfully be excluded — including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud. If you are a consumer, your statutory rights, including those under the Consumer Protection Act, 2019, are unaffected by anything here.

Subject to that, and so far as the law allows:

• we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, for loss of profit, business, goodwill or opportunity, or for loss or corruption of data;
• we are not liable for what you or anyone else publishes, or for the consequences of a page being public;
• we are not liable for loss arising from an edit key you lost or disclosed;
• our total liability arising out of the service is limited to one thousand rupees (₹1,000), which reflects that the service is provided free of charge.

You will indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from content you published, from your breach of these terms, or from your infringement of anyone else’s rights. We will tell you promptly of any such claim and will not settle it without consulting you.

Rule 3(2)(a) of the IT Rules 2021 requires us to publish the name and contact details of a Grievance Officer and the mechanism by which a complaint may be made. Use this route to report content, to appeal a removal, or to raise anything else about the service.

For anything concerning personal data specifically, see section 13 of the Privacy Policy.

You may stop at any time by deleting your page. We may suspend or end your use of the service where you breach these terms, or where we withdraw the service. Sections 4, 10, 11, 14 and this one survive the end of this agreement.

This agreement is governed by the laws of India, and the parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts at Bengaluru, Karnataka, India.

If you are a consumer resident in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory rules of the country you live in, nor of the right to bring proceedings there.

These terms are the whole agreement between us about the service. If a court finds any part unenforceable, the rest continues in force. A delay in enforcing a term is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under this agreement; we may transfer ours as part of a transfer of the service, provided your rights are not reduced.

We may amend these terms. The date at the top reflects the current version, and material changes will be made prominent on the site. Continuing to use the service after a change means you accept it.
