Copyright Policy

Effective Date: September 25, 2026 | Last Updated: September 25, 2026

1. Copyright in This Website

Unless stated otherwise, the content of qr-code.love is © 2026 qr-code.love, all rights reserved. That includes the written guides, page copy and translations, the visual design and layout, the logo and brand mark, the illustrations and the site's source code. It is protected by copyright law, including India's Copyright Act, 1957 and the international treaties India is party to, such as the Berne Convention.

This policy explains what you may do with that content, what belongs to you instead, and how to tell us if you believe something on the site infringes your rights.

2. The QR Codes You Make Are Yours

We claim no copyright or other rights in the QR codes you generate or the files you download. A QR code encodes the data you choose, and the arrangement of its modules is produced by a standard algorithm. Any creative elements you add, such as colours, a frame or your logo, are your own contribution. You may use, print, modify and sell products that carry your codes, commercially or otherwise, without attribution or payment. The licence is set out in sections 2 and 3 of our Terms of Service.

You are responsible for the material you put into a code and around it. That includes the destination a code points to, and any logo, trademark, photograph or text you add. Make sure you have the right to use them.

3. What You May Do With Our Content

  • Link to any page on the site, including deep links to individual guides, without asking.
  • Quote short excerpts of our guides for commentary, review, teaching or news reporting, with a credit to qr-code.love and a link to the page you quote. This is fair dealing under the Copyright Act, 1957 or fair use elsewhere.
  • Share screenshots of the generator and of codes you made, for example in a tutorial or a review.

Without our written permission, you may not copy or republish whole guides or substantial parts of them, or mirror or frame the site. You may not scrape its content, including the translated pages, to build a competing site. You may not remove copyright or trademark notices, or present our content as your own. Automated bulk copying of the site for training data sets or content farms is not permitted.

4. Trademarks

QR Code is a registered trademark of DENSO WAVE INCORPORATED in Japan and other countries. qr-code.love is an independent service. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by DENSO WAVE. The QR codes it generates follow the public ISO/IEC 18004 standard.

Other names mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners. That includes WhatsApp, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube, LinkedIn, X, TikTok, Vimeo, Apple, App Store, Google, Google Play, Google Maps, Google Drive, Dropbox, Adobe Illustrator, Figma, Canva and Pantone. We use them only to describe what a code can link to or which tools a file works with. That use does not imply any affiliation or endorsement.

The name qr-code.love and the finder-and-heart mark are our brand. Please do not use them in a way that suggests we made, sponsor or endorse your product or site.

5. Third-Party Material We Use

  • Typefaces: Archivo, IBM Plex Sans and IBM Plex Mono are used under the SIL Open Font License 1.1 and served by Google Fonts.
  • QR engine: the encoder is our own implementation of the ISO/IEC 18004 standard (Model 2), written for this site.
  • Images: the illustrations on the site were created for qr-code.love. The sample names, companies, phone numbers and addresses in them are fictional, and the example web addresses use example.com, a domain reserved for documentation.

6. Reporting Copyright Infringement

We respect other people's intellectual property. If you believe material on qr-code.love infringes your copyright, send a notice to support@qr-code.love with the subject "Copyright notice". Please include:

  1. your name, postal address, telephone number and email address;
  2. a description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed;
  3. the exact URL of the page on qr-code.love where the material appears, and which part of the page it is;
  4. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  5. a statement that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner, or are authorised to act for the owner, of the copyright;
  6. your physical or electronic signature.

These are the elements required by the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)), and they also give us what we need to act on notices from India, the EU and elsewhere. We review every complete notice and remove or disable the material without undue delay if the claim is valid. Where appropriate, we tell the person who provided the material.

Please note that the site does not host content uploaded by users. QR codes and logos are created and kept only on the visitor's own device, so we have no copy of them to remove. If a printed QR code somewhere leads to infringing material, the notice should go to whoever hosts that material.

7. Counter-Notices

If material you provided was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. Include your contact details, identify the material and where it appeared, and state in good faith that it was removed by mistake. Also state that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate courts. We will forward the counter-notice to the person who sent the original notice. We may restore the material unless they tell us they have started legal proceedings.

8. Misleading or Abusive Notices

Knowingly sending a false or misleading infringement notice or counter-notice can make the sender liable for damages and costs under the laws of many countries. If you are not sure whether something infringes your rights, please seek legal advice before sending a notice.

9. Permissions and Contact

To ask for permission to reuse our content beyond what section 3 allows, for licensing questions, or to report misuse of our brand, email support@qr-code.love or use the Contact page. We aim to answer permission requests within a reasonable time. Until you have written permission, please assume the answer is no.
