Last updated: September 15, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the TheScanQR website and QR code scanning service available at https://thescanqr.com (the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

Acceptance of Terms

By using TheScanQR, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.

Description of Service

TheScanQR is a free, browser-based QR code scanner that allows users to decode QR codes and inspect their contents before opening external links. The Service processes QR codes locally in your browser and provides basic security checks for web URLs.

Acceptable Use

You may use the Service for lawful purposes only. You agree not to:

• Use the Service for any illegal or unauthorized purpose
• Attempt to interfere with the Service's security features
• Use automated systems to access the Service in a way that sends more requests than a human can reasonably produce
• Reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Service
• Use the Service to scan QR codes containing illegal content
• Impersonate any person or entity or misrepresent your affiliation

Service Availability

We strive to keep the Service available at all times, but we cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The Service may be temporarily unavailable due to maintenance, updates, or circumstances beyond our control.

Third-Party Websites and Links

QR codes may contain links to third-party websites. We are not responsible for the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites. You access external websites at your own risk.

QR Code Safety Limitations

Important: TheScanQR is an inspection tool, not a comprehensive security solution. Our safety checks can identify common warning signs but cannot guarantee that any website or QR code destination is safe. You are responsible for:

• Exercising caution when opening QR code destinations
• Verifying the legitimacy of unexpected QR codes independently
• Not relying solely on our safety checks for security decisions
• Understanding that legitimate-looking websites can still be malicious

Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content, features, and functionality are owned by TheScanQR and are protected by international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws.

Disclaimer of Warranties

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to:

• The accuracy or reliability of QR code scanning results
• The effectiveness of security checks
• Uninterrupted or error-free operation
• That the Service will meet your specific requirements

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, TheScanQR shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or other intangible losses resulting from your use of the Service.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless TheScanQR from and against any claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs, or debt, and expenses (including attorney's fees) arising from your use of the Service or violation of these Terms.

Changes to Service

We reserve the right to modify or discontinue the Service (or any part thereof) at any time, with or without notice. We shall not be liable to you or any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Service.

Changes to Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new Terms on this page and updating the "Last updated" date. Your continued use of the Service after such modifications constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with applicable law, without regard to conflict of law principles.
