These terms govern your use of the URL shortening service at 99l.in ("99L", "we", "us"). By shortening a link, following one, or calling our API, you agree to them. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.
99L turns a long URL into a short one and redirects visitors to the original address using a permanent (301) redirect. It is provided free of charge, without an account, and without warranty.
We do not review, endorse or control the pages behind short links. A 99L link is a pointer created by whoever made it, not a recommendation by us.
You must not use 99L to create links to, or in connection with:
You are responsible for the destination of every link you create, and you confirm you have the right to link to it.
Custom names (aliases) are allocated first come, first served. Claiming one does not transfer any trademark or other right to you.
Spring-Sale and spring-sale are the same name.Fair-use limits apply so the service stays up for everyone:
| Action | Limit |
|---|---|
| Shortening with a generated code | 15 per minute, 120 per hour, per visitor |
| Shortening with a custom name | 5 per minute, 25 per hour, 60 per day, per visitor |
| Bulk API | 100 links per request, plus a daily quota attached to your key |
Exceeding a limit returns HTTP 429 with a Retry-After header. Persistently ignoring it may result in a block. API keys are personal to the holder, must be kept secret, and may be suspended if shared or abused.
We may disable any short link, custom name or API key at any time, without notice, if we believe it breaches these terms or exposes the service or its users to risk. Because abuse of one link can get the whole 99l.in domain blocklisted, breaking every other link on it, we act quickly and err on the side of removal.
To report a link, email [email protected] with the short link and a short description. To request removal of your own link, email [email protected].
We aim to keep short links working permanently and do not expire them. That said, 99L is a free service offered as-is, with no uptime guarantee, no service level agreement, and no promise of continued availability.
Do not use 99L as the sole reference for anything critical, irreplaceable or safety-related. Keep the original URL.
The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, nor for lost profits, lost data, or business interruption, arising from your use of 99L or from any page reached through a 99L link. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
You agree to indemnify us against claims arising from links you create in breach of these terms.
We may update these terms; the date at the top of this page will change. Continuing to use 99L after an update means you accept the revised terms. These terms are governed by the laws of India.
