These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of GPlinks (“GPlinks,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), including our websites, APIs, software, and services that allow users to shorten URLs and monetize traffic via advertising (collectively, the “Service”). By creating an account or using the Service, you (“you,” “user,” or “publisher”) agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy and Publisher Program Policies (collectively, “Policies”).

If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

1) Definitions

  • Shortened Link: A URL created through GPlinks that redirects end users to a destination website, with ads shown during the journey.

  • Publisher: A user who creates shortened links and shares them to earn revenue.

  • Prohibited Content/Sources: Content or traffic sources listed under Section 8.

  • Invalid Activity: Any activity that artificially inflates impressions, clicks, conversions, or revenue (e.g., bots, proxies, incentivized clicks, self-clicks, loops).

  • Net Revenue / Earnings: Revenue attributable to valid traffic per our measurement, less taxes, chargebacks, reversals, fraud adjustments, and third-party fees.

2) Eligibility & Account

2.1 Minimum Age & Capacity. You must be at least 18 and have the legal capacity to contract. If using on behalf of an entity, you represent you are authorized to bind that entity.

2.2 One Account Per Person/Entity. Only one account per individual/entity is allowed. Multiple accounts (including under your own referral link) are prohibited.

2.3 Accurate Information. You agree to provide true, accurate, and complete registration, payment, and tax information and keep it updated at all times.

2.4 KYC/Verification. We may request identity, address, tax, bank, and traffic-source verification (e.g., screenshots, analytics read-only access, referrer lists). Failure to comply may result in holdback, suspension, or termination.

2.5 Account Security. You are responsible for safeguarding credentials and all activity under your account. Notify us immediately of unauthorized use.

3) Service Overview

3.1 Ads Are Mandatory. GPlinks monetizes via ads displayed during redirection. By using the Service, you accept that ads are integral and non-optional.

3.2 Service Changes & Availability. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service without liability. We strive for uptime but do not guarantee uninterrupted availability.

3.3 Beta/Experimental Features. Some features may be labeled beta and provided “as is,” with limited or no support.

4) Payments & Reporting

4.1 Earnings Calculation. Earnings are based on valid impressions/clicks measured by our systems. Our measurements are final and binding absent manifest error.

4.2 Thresholds & Schedules. Payout thresholds, currencies, supported methods, and schedules are specified in your dashboard or Policies and may change. You are responsible for bank, transfer, or intermediary fees.

5) Referral Program

5.1 Honest Referrals Only. You may not refer yourself, create fake users, or recycle accounts. Mass sign-ups, bots, or incentivized referrals are prohibited.

5.2 Adjustments. Referral commissions are subject to the same fraud and policy review as publisher earnings and may be withheld, adjusted, or clawed back.

6.1 Traffic Source Transparency. On request, you must disclose where and how you share shortened links (domains, apps, social handles, channels, groups, and representative posts/screenshots).

6.2 Traffic Quality. You must ensure traffic is human, organic, and policy-compliant. You are responsible for third-party actions performed on your behalf (agencies, promoters, affiliates).

6.3 Implementation Integrity. Do not alter, mask, or interfere with our redirection, ad placements, or tracking. Do not use iFrames or code that suppresses or manipulates our ad units or timing.

You must not shorten URLs that lead to:
