No small print needed to understand it
The link belongs
to the word, not to you.
You do not permanently buy a short link. You become the person controlling where that word goes-until somebody reaches the next contribution level.
- 01
Pick a word.
Every valid word maps to a redirect like itsmine.link/python. Its permanent public story lives at /words/python.
- 02
Unclaimed starts at $2.
Choose a destination, a public display name, and a private email. Your one-time payment buys publication of that placement and activation of its redirect. The task is complete when both are live. Prices include any applicable tax.
- 03
Anyone can take it.
The next contribution is 5% above the current owner’s level, rounded up to whole dollars, with a minimum $5 step.
- 04
Your past money still counts.
Lifetime contribution is tracked per email and per word. Verify that email later and you only pay the difference to reach the new level.
- 05
Payments are normally final.
You expressly request immediate publication and acknowledge that the statutory withdrawal right ends when publication and activation are fully completed. A later takeover or justified removal does not earn a discretionary refund. Mandatory refunds and other legal remedies remain available. Read the Terms.
- 06
Bad redirects get suspended.
No phishing, malware, scams, illegal content, impersonation, or abusive destinations. Moderation preserves the historical record while disabling unsafe links.
