Acceptable Use Policy

UrlsTree lets people publish a public page of links. This policy sets out what may and may not appear on those pages, how we enforce it, and how to report a page that breaks the rules. It applies to every account, free and paid, and forms part of our Terms of Service.

1. Prohibited content and links

You may not use UrlsTree to host, publish, or link to any of the following. This applies both to content on your page and to the destination of any link, short link, or embed you add:

• Illegal content, or content that facilitates illegal activity
• Phishing pages, malware, ransomware, or anything designed to compromise a visitor's device or accounts
• Fraudulent, deceptive, or misleading offers, including fake stores, fake giveaways, and investment or cryptocurrency scams
• Child sexual abuse material, or any sexual content involving minors — this results in immediate removal and referral to the relevant authorities
• Pornographic and adult content
• Content that harasses, threatens, defames, or incites violence against a person or group
• Hate speech, or content promoting terrorism or violent extremism
• Impersonation of another person, business, or organization
• Sale of regulated or restricted goods, including weapons, illegal drugs, prescription medication, counterfeit goods, and stolen data or credentials
• Content that infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights
• Personal or private information about someone else published without their consent
• Spam, bulk unsolicited messaging, or use of the email-capture feature to collect addresses under false pretences
• Links that deceive visitors about where they lead, including cloaked or misrepresented destinations
• Attempts to disrupt, overload, probe, or gain unauthorized access to UrlsTree's systems or another user's account

A page written as code with the AI code editor follows the same rules. Every code page is checked before it is published, carries a “Report this page” link, and may be reviewed by our staff.

2. How we enforce this

We moderate in three ways, and all three are active on every account:

• Automated screening. Usernames are checked against a blocklist at signup, and links are checked against a list of blocked domains — including known adult and high-risk hosts — when they are added or edited. Blocked entries are rejected outright.
• Visitor warnings. Links that a page owner marks as sensitive are served behind an interstitial that a visitor must confirm before continuing, rather than redirecting them straight through.
• Human review. We review reported pages ourselves — a person decides, not an algorithm. Before we suspend an account we email its owner with what we found and what to fix, and give 3 days’ notice with a reminder the day before; the page stays up meanwhile. Only the urgent cases in section 3 can be suspended at once. A suspension stops the public page, its short links and its booking page from resolving. Spam or bot accounts, and abandoned accounts with nothing on them, may be deleted by our staff without a suspension first (the owner is emailed if the account had a confirmed email); an account with real content is suspended with notice first.

3. Consequences of a violation

We may remove specific content, suspend an account, or terminate it, depending on the severity and whether it has happened before. Before a suspension we give you 3 days’ notice by email to fix the problem. Only these urgent cases can be suspended at once, without the notice:

• Phishing or malware
• Child sexual abuse material, or anything that puts children at risk
• Fraud and scams
• Illegal goods or services
• Threats of violence
• An order from a court or authority
• Abuse of, or attacks on, UrlsTree's systems

Even then, we email you straight away with the reason and how to appeal.

Suspension stops your public page, short links and booking page from resolving but does not delete your data. While suspended you can still sign in to download your data, manage or cancel billing and talk to us. A paid subscription that is terminated for a violation of this policy is not refunded.

4. Appeals

If you think we got it wrong, reply to the email we sent you, use the chat on our website or in your dashboard, or email hello@urlstree.com. A person reviews every appeal. If a page was suspended in error we restore it and tell you by email; nothing is lost while it is suspended.

5. Reporting abuse

If you find a UrlsTree page that breaks this policy, email abuse@urlstree.com with the page address and a short description of the problem. Reports about phishing, malware, or content involving minors are treated as urgent and actioned as quickly as we can. You do not need a UrlsTree account to report a page.

If you believe content on a page infringes your copyright or trademark, email the same address with the page address, a description of the work, and confirmation that you are the rights holder or are authorized to act for them.

6. Responsibility for linked destinations

A UrlsTree page points to destinations we do not control and which can change after a link is added. You are responsible for the links on your page and for making sure they continue to comply with this policy. We act on links that are reported to us or that our automated screening catches, but we do not continuously monitor every destination on the internet.

7. Changes to this policy

We may update this policy as the product and the risks around it change, and we will update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
