Terms of Service

Last updated: March 2026

nah is a free, open-source QR code generator. Use it for any lawful purpose. We provide it as-is with no guarantees. Don't use our dynamic code redirect service for spam, malware, or illegal content. That's basically it.

The Service

nah is provided free of charge, as-is. It offers two things:

  • Static QR code generation — runs entirely in your browser. Once generated, we have no control over the codes.
  • Dynamic QR code redirects — an optional service where QR codes point to a short URL on our servers that redirects to your chosen destination.

Static QR Codes

Static QR codes encode data directly into the QR pattern. They don't depend on our servers and will work forever. They're yours — we make no claim of ownership or control over them.

Dynamic QR Codes

Dynamic QR codes route through our redirect servers. We provide this service on a best-effort basis. We reserve the right to deactivate any dynamic code used for malicious purposes, including but not limited to:

  • Phishing or credential harvesting
  • Malware distribution
  • Spam or unsolicited bulk communications
  • Illegal content of any kind
  • Deceptive redirects (e.g., a code labeled "restaurant menu" that leads to a phishing page)

You are responsible for saving your passphrase. We cannot recover it. If you lose it, you lose management access to your dynamic code.

No Warranty

nah is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind. The service may experience downtime, bugs, or other issues. We do not guarantee that QR codes will be scannable by all devices in all conditions. We are not liable for any damages arising from your use of the service.

Acceptable Use

You may use nah for any lawful purpose, including commercial use. Don't attempt to overload or attack our servers, circumvent rate limits, or use automated scripts to bulk-create dynamic codes.

Service Changes

We may modify or discontinue the service at any time. Since nah is open source, you can always self-host your own instance.

Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of California, United States. Any disputes will be resolved in the courts of California.
