Terms of Service

Welcome to Tool Index! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of our website and services. By accessing or using Tool Index, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1 Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using Tool Index, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use our service.

2 Description of Service

Tool Index is a curated directory of software tools and resources. We provide a platform for discovering, browsing, and submitting software tools. Our services include tool listings, user reviews, and submission processing.

3 User Accounts

When you create an account, you agree to:

• Provide accurate and complete information
• Maintain the security of your account credentials
• Accept responsibility for all activity under your account
• Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

4 Tool Submissions

When submitting a tool to our directory:

• You must have the right to submit the tool
• Information provided must be accurate and not misleading
• Submissions are subject to review and approval
• We reserve the right to reject or remove any submission
• Paid submissions are non-refundable once approved

5 Badges

Free listings require a link back to Tool Index on your landing page, and the link we provide carries rel="nofollow", so it passes no ranking signal. If the link is removed, the free listing returns to the review queue until it is restored. Paid listings (Instant, Premium and bundles) never require a link. Badges on a live listing are optional, and you are welcome to mark them rel="nofollow".

9 Disclaimer of Warranties

Tool Index is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any tool listings or reviews. We are not responsible for any issues arising from your use of listed tools.
