Usage precautions

  1. There is a possibility that the shortened URL may be accessed in an unexpected way (such as brute force attacks). Please limit the URLs you enter to those that can be publicly disclosed or those that are access-restricted.
    ※ Please be aware that using URLs set to "anyone with the link can access" in cloud services such as OneDrive, SharePoint, or Google Drive can lead to unintended access by individuals not anticipated, possibly through brute force attacks or other methods. This could potentially result in unexpected data leaks.
  2. Once generated, the shortened URL will never be reused.
  3. Once the expiration date has passed, the generated URL will become invalid. 
  4. Please refrain from personal use other than for education, academic research, university operations, and club activities.
  5. If a URL that violates public order and morals, such as a phishing site or malware site, is registered, it may be forcibly invalidated.
