Terms of Service

By accessing, registering for, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Service. Certain features (paid subscriptions, advertising, developer submission) require a separate affirmative confirmation at checkout, as described below.

2.1 You may register using your email address (verification code), phone number (SMS verification), or third-party sign-in with Google, Facebook, or Apple.

2.2 You are responsible for all activity under your account, for keeping your password and verification codes confidential, and for notifying us immediately at [Email] of any unauthorized use.

2.3 You may not impersonate another person, use a false identity, or register on behalf of someone else unless you are legally authorized to do so.

When you sign in with Google, Facebook, or Apple, we receive only the email address, display name, and profile picture associated with that account. We do not receive your password. The processing of your data by these providers is governed by their own privacy policies. You may disconnect your third-party account at any time from your account settings.

4.1 The Service is a web directory. We link to third-party websites but do not control, and are not responsible for, their content, availability, or privacy practices.

4.2 You agree not to use the Service for any unlawful, fraudulent, infringing, or abusive purpose; not to submit spam, hate speech, sexually explicit content, malware, or phishing links; and not to scrape, mirror, or overload the Service.

5.1 You retain ownership of the comments, favorites, and collections you create. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to host, store, display, and format that content as needed to operate the Service.

5.2 You may not post content that is illegal, infringing, deceptive, or harassing. We may remove any such content and suspend or terminate your account without prior notice.

By submitting an application or website for listing, you warrant that: (a) the submitted content is lawful and does not infringe any third party's intellectual property or other rights; (b) it contains no malware, spyware, or deceptive features; and (c) you are authorized to submit it. We reserve the right to reject, delist, or remove any submission at our sole discretion. You remain fully responsible for your submitted content and for the destination of any linked site.

7.1 Advertisers must ensure that all advertising creatives are lawful, truthful, not misleading, and do not infringe third-party rights. We reserve the right to reject or remove any advertisement.

7.2 All paid placements will be clearly labeled "Ad" or "Sponsored" adjacent to the creative. Certain categories (tobacco, prescription drugs, adult content, unlicensed financial services) are prohibited.

7.3 The advertiser is solely responsible for the content and claims in its ads.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: RUSSIA] Advertisements served to Russian users must additionally comply with Russian advertising law: each creative must be labeled "Реклама", display the advertiser's name and tax ID (ИНН), and carry the unique erid token issued through an authorized ORD (advertising data operator).

The total amount, billing cycle, payment method (processed via [Payment Processor, e.g., Payoneer]), and invoice/receipt process will be displayed on the checkout page before you enter any payment details.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: UK / EU] The order button on the checkout page reads "Order with obligation to pay".

8.2 You may request an invoice or receipt at [Email].

9.1 Pro Subscriptions renew automatically at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel before the renewal date. Before you confirm the subscription, we will clearly disclose the renewal period, the renewal amount, the billing date, and how to cancel. We will not pre-tick any auto-renewal option.

9.2 We will send you a reminder before each renewal. You may cancel at any time with one click from your account settings, and cancellation will be as easy as signing up. Your consent to recurring billing is recorded.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: MAINLAND CHINA] We will send you a prominent renewal reminder at least 5 days before each renewal date, and again at the time you first subscribe.

Please see our separate Refund Policy at [URL]. Unused advertising budget is refundable. Pro Subscriptions are refunded on a pro-rata basis for the unused portion, subject to the withdrawal rights required by your jurisdiction:

[ENABLE ONLY IN: UK / EU] You have a 14-day right of withdrawal from the date of contract. For digital content (such as the Pro Subscription), this withdrawal right is lost only after you have (a) given your express consent to immediate supply and (b) acknowledged that you thereby lose the withdrawal right. Both consents are collected separately on the checkout page. Refunds are issued within 14 days of receipt of your withdrawal notice, using the original payment method.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: BRAZIL] You may withdraw from a distance contract within 7 days of signing or receiving the service; amounts paid will be refunded immediately.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: RUSSIA] For distance sales of physical goods, you may return the goods within 7 days of receipt; if we did not provide the return rules in writing, this period is extended to 3 months. The application of this rule to digital subscriptions is to be confirmed by local counsel.

[ENABLE ONLY IN: MAINLAND CHINA] Digital goods downloaded online are excluded from the 7-day no-reason return right; unused prepaid balances will be refunded on request.

The Service is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not warrant third-party links, advertiser creatives, or developer-submitted content.

These Terms are governed by the laws of [Country]. Any dispute will first be addressed through good-faith negotiation, then submitted to [Arbitration / courts of jurisdiction]. This does not limit your mandatory consumer rights in your country of residence.
