terms

A free service run by one person. Here is what that means in practice.

Last updated 6 September 2026.

1. The deal

ovo.sx is operated by the ovo.sx operator and offered free of charge, as-is. Uploading a file means you accept these terms and the Rules. If you do not, the fix is simple: don't upload anything.

2. What you're promising

That you have the right to upload what you upload, that it does not break the Rules, and that it is legal in the country the server is hosted in. You keep the copyright in your own work — uploading it here grants nothing except permission to store it and serve it to whoever has the link.

3. Links are public

There is no login and no per-file password. A link is short and random, which makes it hard to guess but not secret: anyone you send it to can pass it on, and so can anyone they send it to. Treat every upload as public. Do not put anything here you would be hurt to see spread.

4. No guarantees

Files may vanish. The service may go down, lose data, change its limits, or stop existing entirely, possibly without notice. There is no uptime promise, no backup, and no recovery — without accounts there is nothing to recover them to. Keep your own copy of anything that matters. To the fullest extent the law allows, the ovo.sx operator is not liable for any loss arising from your use of the service.

5. Removal

Any file may be removed at any time, for any reason, with no notice — most often because it broke a rule, but housekeeping and storage pressure count too. Access may be blocked for repeated abuse or for hammering the service.

6. Copyright complaints

If something here infringes your copyright, mail abuse@ovo.sx with the link, a description of the work, and confirmation that you are the rightsholder or acting for them. Valid complaints are acted on quickly. Sending a knowingly false one is its own kind of problem.

7. What gets recorded

Every upload is written to an index. It holds the short code, the file's type, size and checksum, the name your device gave it, and the time it arrived, along with the IP address it came from and your browser's user-agent string.

The IP address and user-agent are deleted after 90 days and are used for one thing: acting on abuse reports and keeping the rate limit honest. They are never shared, sold, or fed to an analytics service.

The rest of the record is kept permanently, even after a file is deleted. This is deliberate, and it protects you: it is how a short code is retired for good once it has been used. Without it, a deleted code would eventually be handed to somebody else, and a link you posted a year ago would quietly start showing a stranger's file instead of yours.

There are no accounts, no analytics, no third-party scripts, and no trackers. Every font, script, image and stylesheet on this site is served from ovo.sx itself, so simply looking at a page sends your details nowhere else. Beyond that, the hosting provider keeps its own standard web server logs, which are outside our control.

8. Fair use of the service

100 MB per file, subject to a rate limit. Don't script around the limits, don't use the site as a CDN or a backup drive, and don't try to break it. Doing so ends your access.

9. Changes

These terms will change as the service grows — accounts and per-file pages are both likely someday. The date at the top says when this version was published, and continuing to use the site after a change means you accept it.

10. Getting in touch

Everything — takedowns, complaints, bug reports, and "hey, this is broken" — goes to abuse@ovo.sx.
