2. Services
LinkTwin provides tools for shortening URLs and creating deep links that open directly in supported mobile apps (e.g., Amazon, YouTube, Spotify). We offer free and premium plans.

4. Fair Usage Policy
Some plans include unlimited link clicks, subject to this Fair Usage Policy. Excessive usage that impacts service performance or exceeds reasonable limits, as determined by LinkTwin, may result in a request to upgrade to a higher plan or account termination.
