These are the terms you agree to when you use this website or buy Kortli. Please read them before you buy.
1. Who we are
Kortli is a product of Tradiant LLC, a company registered in Georgia. Contact: hello@kortli.com.
2. What we sell
We sell a licence to use Kortli, a link shortener you install on your own server, together with its complete source code. You are buying a permanent right to use and modify your copy. You are not buying the copyright, and you are not buying a hosted service — we do not run anything on your behalf unless you separately ask us to.
3. Buying and payment
Tradiant LLC is the seller and appears as such on your receipt. Checkout runs on our own ReplaPay installation. You may pay by card, Apple Pay or Google Pay — processed by Stripe on Stripe’s own hosted page — or in cryptocurrency.
Prices are shown in US dollars. After payment you receive a download and a licence key by email, normally within one working day.
4. What your licence lets you do
There are two licences. The one you bought is named on your invoice.
Single Company Licence. Install and run Kortli on any number of servers owned or rented by your own company, for your own company’s links. Change the code however you wish for your own use.
Agency Licence. Everything above, and in addition you may install and run Kortli for your clients, rebranded as your own service, and charge them what you like for it.
Your licence does not expire. You may keep using your copy even if we stop trading.
5. What your licence does not let you do
- Sell, give away, publish or share the source code we wrote — as a product, a template, a starter kit or a repository, whether changed or not.
- Offer Kortli itself to the general public as a competing sign-up service. Running it for your own named clients is allowed under the Agency Licence; opening it to the public is not.
- Remove or hide the third-party notices file, the licence notices in the code, or the credit to the Shlink project.
- Share your download link or licence key outside your company.
If you want to do something this section forbids, ask us. We are reasonable.
6. Open-source parts
Kortli is built on open-source software, which stays under its own licences. These are listed in the third-party notices file supplied with the product. Two things follow, and we would rather say them plainly than have you discover them later:
Section 5 binds the parts we wrote. It cannot take away any right an open-source licence already gives you over the open-source parts. And the engine underneath, Shlink, is published under the MIT licence and anyone may download it for nothing. What you are paying us for is the part that is not free: the password-protected links, the A/B testing, the QR codes, the interface, the installation, the backups and our support.
7. Your data
Everything you put into Kortli is yours — your links, your click data, your customers’ data, your changes and your branding. Kortli runs on your server. Once a day it downloads our public list of withdrawn licence keys from pay.tradiant.net. That request carries no licence key and none of your links or click data — like any request on the internet, it shows our server your server’s IP address. Nothing else is sent to us. See our Privacy Policy for what we hold about you as a customer.
8. Support and updates
30 days of setup support is included from the day you buy. After that, support is available at our published rate or through a support plan.
12 months of updates are included. After that, updates are available through an optional renewal, currently $49 a year. Your licence does not stop working if you do not renew — you simply stay on the version you have.
Support covers Kortli as we supply it. It does not cover changes you have made to the code, your server, your hosting provider or your domain names.
9. Refunds
Because you receive the complete source code the moment you buy, sales are final once the files have been downloaded.
If you have not downloaded the files, you may cancel within 14 days for a full refund. Write to hello@kortli.com.
If you are buying as a consumer in the European Union or the United Kingdom, you have a statutory 14-day right to change your mind about digital content. You lose that right once the download begins, provided you agreed to immediate delivery and acknowledged the loss of the right at checkout. Nothing in these terms removes any right the law gives you.
10. Using this website
Please do not attempt to break into this website, disrupt it, or use it to send anyone anything unlawful. The text, images and branding on it belong to us.
11. No warranty
Kortli is provided “as is”. We have tested it and we use it ourselves, but we cannot promise it will be free of faults or that it will suit a particular purpose of yours. You are responsible for your own server, your own backups, and for testing Kortli before you rely on it.
12. Limit of liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything arising out of this agreement is limited to the amount you paid us. We are not liable for lost profits, lost data, lost business or any indirect loss.
Nothing here limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.
13. Ending the licence
Your licence ends if you break section 5 and do not put it right within 30 days of us telling you about it. If that happens you must stop using Kortli and delete your copies. We will not end your licence for any other reason.
14. Which law applies
This agreement is governed by the law of Georgia, and the courts of Georgia have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the law of the country you live in.
15. The whole agreement
These terms, together with your invoice, are the whole agreement between us. If any part is found to be unenforceable, the rest still applies. We may change these terms for future sales; the version you bought under is the version that applies to you.
