About these terms
These terms are an agreement between you and Flared, the operator of flared.page and flared.link. By creating an account or using the hosted service, you agree to them. Questions go to support@flared.page.
Accounts are open. Link creation, analytics, and paid plans are still being built and may not be available yet. This website describes what is available today.
The service
Flared lets you create, share, and measure short links through a web app, API, CLI, and local MCP server. You can use the hosted service or deploy the public core in your own Cloudflare account.
The public core is licensed under AGPL-3.0-only. Its repository license governs use of that code, and these terms do not change it. Third-party names and logos identify technologies and intended integrations; they do not imply endorsement.
Your account and links
You are responsible for your account, API tokens, destinations, and the content you share. Only connect domains you control. Do not use Flared for phishing, malware, spam, fraud, unlawful material, or attempts to bypass access controls or service limits.
We may block links or suspend accounts that break these terms. When needed to prevent harm, we may act without prior notice. Report abuse to support@flared.page and include the short link. Plan limits are separate from abuse controls.
Plans and billing
Paid plans are not yet available. The planned plans are Free and Plus. Plus costs US$15 billed monthly or US$120 billed annually, equivalent to US$10 per month, with applicable taxes shown at checkout. Both billing intervals have the same Plus features and monthly allowances.
Founding Lifetime is a one-time payment of US$199 for Plus features and monthly allowances for as long as Flared operates the hosted service. It does not renew. Seats are limited, and new Lifetime sales can end at any time without effect on existing purchases. If Flared closes the hosted service, Lifetime customers receive at least 90 days’ notice and an export window to move to self-hosting.
Paid subscriptions renew until canceled. Monthly-to-annual changes take effect at the next monthly renewal. Annual-to-monthly changes take effect at the end of the paid year. These switches do not create mid-period charges or credits. A pending switch can be withdrawn before it takes effect.
Polar handles payments as merchant of record, and its checkout terms also apply to your purchase.
Cancellation and refunds
Cancellation stops renewal and keeps Plus until the end of the paid period. It does not issue a refund by itself. The refund policy gives a full refund on request within seven days of your first Plus payment, monthly, annual, or Lifetime. Later requests are reviewed individually.
Renewals and billing-interval changes do not restart the seven-day guarantee. Billing errors, rights you have under law, and decisions by the merchant of record are handled separately from this window.
Usage and availability
Recorded-click allowances reset each calendar month in UTC. When an analytics allowance runs out, links keep redirecting, but additional clicks are not recorded. Upgrading resumes recording but cannot reconstruct unrecorded traffic.
On downgrade, existing links and verified domains keep working, while creation above Free limits is blocked. Older history has a 30-day export grace period. The service does not promise unlimited traffic, perfect bot detection, or an uptime SLA.
Link changes are designed to take effect within 60 seconds. Analytics is asynchronous and may be delayed or incomplete.
Disclaimer and liability
The service is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, to the extent the law allows.
To the extent the law allows, Flared is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages, or for lost profits, revenue, or data. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim, or US$50 if you paid nothing. Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow us to limit.
Ending service and changes
You can stop using the service at any time. We may suspend or end an account that breaks these terms, or when the law requires it. If we close the hosted service, we will give at least 30 days’ notice and an export window, or 90 days for Lifetime customers.
Account deletion removes your data through the deletion process in the privacy policy. Short-link reservations remain so deleted addresses cannot be reused. Self-hosted operators control their own infrastructure, upgrades, and recovery.
We may update these terms. For material changes, we will email account holders at least 14 days before the change takes effect. Using the service after that date means you accept the new terms. Consumer protection laws of the country where you live still apply where they cannot be waived.
