This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") applies to all users of the Suppo.se link-shortening service (the "Service") operated by MMX LLC, a New York limited liability company. By using the Service, you agree to comply with this AUP. Violations may result in immediate removal of links, suspension, or permanent termination of your account, at our sole discretion.
1. Operator Discretion
We reserve the right to remove, disable, or block any custom link, and to suspend or terminate any account, at any time, for any reason or no reason, without prior notice, without liability, and without any obligation to explain our decision. We may act on complaints, on our own review, or on automated signals. Our exercise of discretion in one case does not obligate us to act consistently in other cases.

3. Reporting Violations
To report a custom link you believe violates this AUP, contact us at abuse@suppo.se.
We investigate reports at our sole discretion. We are not obligated to act on any report, to notify you of the outcome, or to justify any action or inaction.
4. Consequences of Violation

- Immediate removal or deactivation of the offending link(s)
- Suspension of your account with or without notice

We reserve the right to take any action we deem appropriate, including actions not listed above. The enumeration here is illustrative, not exhaustive.
5. No Liability for User Links
We are not responsible for the content of any destination URL. Our removal of a link does not constitute an admission that the link violated this AUP, nor does our failure to remove a link constitute approval of its content.
6. Changes to This Policy
We may update this AUP at any time. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised AUP.
