Terms of Service
Short version: use Index respectfully, don't misuse the site or copy our content without permission, understand that our reviews are opinions based on our own testing (not guarantees), and know that some links earn us a commission. Full details below.
Agreement to Terms
By accessing or using Index ("the site," "we," "us," or "our"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you don't agree with any part of these terms, please don't use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and continued use of the site after changes are posted means you accept the updated terms.
Using Index
Index is a directory and blog covering AI tools, reviews, and related content. You're welcome to browse, read, and share our content for personal, non-commercial use. In using the site, you agree not to:
- Copy, republish, or redistribute our content without written permission
- Use automated tools (bots, scrapers) to extract content or data from the site at scale
- Attempt to interfere with the site's normal operation or security
- Use the site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of any applicable law
- Impersonate Index or misrepresent your affiliation with us
Content & Intellectual Property
All original content on Index — reviews, articles, rankings, graphics, and site design — is owned by Index unless otherwise noted, and is protected by copyright. You may quote small portions of our content with proper attribution and a link back to the original page, but full reproduction or republishing requires our written permission.
Tool names, logos, and trademarks referenced on Index belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and reference purposes only, not to imply endorsement by those companies unless explicitly stated.
Reviews, Rankings & Opinions
Our tool reviews, rankings, and comparisons reflect our team's genuine, independent testing and opinion at the time of publication. They are not guarantees of performance, results, or suitability for your specific needs. Software and pricing change frequently — always verify current details directly with the tool provider before making a decision.
Tool Submissions
If you submit a tool through our Submit a Tool page, you confirm that the information provided is accurate to the best of your knowledge. We reserve the right to accept, decline, edit for clarity, or remove any submitted listing at our sole discretion, including tools already published, if they no longer meet our standards or the underlying product changes significantly.
Affiliate Links & Monetization
Index earns revenue partly through affiliate partnerships and advertising. Full details are available in our Affiliate Disclosure. Using an affiliate link on our site to visit a third-party tool does not create any additional obligation or relationship between you and Index beyond normal site use.
Third-Party Links
Index contains links to third-party websites, including the AI tools we review. We don't control and aren't responsible for the content, policies, security, or practices of these external sites. Visiting a third-party site is at your own discretion, and that site's own terms and privacy policy will apply.
Disclaimer of Warranties
Index is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We don't guarantee the site will be error-free, uninterrupted, or that all information is completely current or accurate at all times. See our full Disclaimer for more detail on how we handle accuracy and information currency.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, Index and its team won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the site, reliance on our content, or any transaction with a third party you engaged with after visiting Index — including through an affiliate link.
Changes to These Terms
We may revise these Terms of Service periodically as the site evolves. The "last updated" date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continuing to use Index after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
