Terms of service

Who runs MDShare

MDShare, operated by a sole trader based in Portugal. Contact: hello@mdshare.online.

These terms describe use of MDShare. The Privacy notice explains data handling; the Refunds policy explains withdrawal and refunds. These terms do not limit mandatory consumer rights.

You can create a free share without an account. Keep a copy of your document and its edit code. The edit code lets you manage or delete an anonymous share; losing it can mean losing that control. Deleting an account does not delete anonymous shares.

You keep your rights in your content and must have permission to share it. You allow MDShare to store and deliver it as needed to provide the sharing service. Anyone with an unprotected link can read and copy it. Password-protected documents are encrypted and unlocked in the browser; the password and plaintext do not reach our server. Choose a long, unique password and do not put it in the public hint.

Expiry makes a share unavailable. Burn-after-reading uses an explicit opening request, not a page preview, to claim the only view. Copies already downloaded, copied or saved by someone else cannot be recalled. MDShare is not a backup service.

Acceptable use and legal removal

Do not use MDShare for piracy or other infringement, malware, phishing, spam, illegal content, or other unlawful activity. Do not attack the service or try to bypass its security or limits.

MDShare does not read, scan or filter shared content. It has no routine content moderation or reader-report system. A legal order or formal notice of clearly illegal content can lead us to disable a specific share by its link identifier, without opening or inspecting its content. Removal blocks reading, opening and editing; it is not a promise of immediate deletion from storage. The normal expiry and deletion rules still apply.

Legal notices and notices of illegal content go to hello@mdshare.online or the owner on LinkedIn, using the link below. Identify the exact share link; do not send passwords or the document itself. There is no in-app report button.

Plans and limits

The Pricing page lists the Free, Basic and Premium allowances, prices and features marked Coming soon. There is no free-account tier. Paid plans are not required before your first free share.

The Free allowance is two creations per rolling 30 days per keyed IP hash, one file per share and expiry up to 30 days. Basic allows ten new shares per billing month; Premium allows unlimited creations subject to fair use. Both paid plans allow up to ten files per share, 1 MB per file and 5 MB in total. Paid quotas reset on the monthly billing anniversary even for yearly billing. Deleting, burning or expiring a share does not restore its creation allowance. Shared networks can share an anonymous allowance.

Custom links, branding removal and API access marked Coming soon are not included in any current plan. Check Pricing before purchasing.

Billing, renewal and cancellation

Purchases use Stripe Managed Payments. Buyers see Link, a Stripe company, as the merchant of record: Sold through Link. Payment receipts, invoices and refund emails come from Link, and card statements show LINK.COM* followed by the statement descriptor. Link support handles transaction and refund requests; MDShare handles product questions. Link is part of Managed Payments even if you check out as a guest. The Stripe entity you contract with depends on your country, as set out in Link’s terms below. Checkout and payment terms also apply. MDShare does not receive your full payment-card details.

Prices include tax. Basic and Premium have monthly or yearly billing; a year costs ten times the monthly price. The nine listed currencies are USD, EUR, INR, IDR, BRL, GBP, CAD, AUD and VND. Stripe Adaptive Pricing may offer other local currencies with a customer-paid conversion fee of 2–4%; you can still choose USD. Review the final currency, amount and renewal interval in Checkout.

Subscriptions renew automatically at the chosen interval until canceled. Manage or cancel them through the Stripe customer portal or at link.com. Guest buyers may need to create a Link account to use its order-management tools. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; paid access continues until then. Check the displayed cancellation date and keep its confirmation. A full refund ends paid access immediately. Statutory withdrawal and refund rights are explained in Refunds.

Account deletion is different from canceling renewal. It cancels an active subscription immediately, with no prorated refund; unused paid time is lost. This does not limit statutory refund rights. Deletion can be refused if cancellation cannot be confirmed.

Only when paid access ends, never-expiring shares you own receive an expiry at least 30 days later, with an email notice. A Premium-to-Basic downgrade does not trigger this expiry while paid access continues. If custom links, branding removal or API access become available, custom links keep working until that expiry, while Premium branding removal and API access end immediately when those entitlements end.

Availability and your rights

We cannot promise uninterrupted availability or recovery of expired, burned or deleted documents. Keep your own copies. Nothing here excludes rights or remedies that the law does not allow us to exclude.
