Terms of Use

These terms apply to everyone who uses The ToolBolt (“the site”). By browsing the site or signing in, you agree to them. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.

1. What the site is

The ToolBolt is a free, curated directory of AI tools, with information about where each tool comes from, how to install it and how to use it. Browsing doesn't require an account. Signing in with GitHub is only needed to contribute.

2. Third-party tools and links

• The site lists tools, websites and repositories made by other people and companies. We don't own, control or operate them.
• A listing is not an endorsement. Tools are listed because they may be useful, not because we guarantee them.
• Information such as pricing, features, install commands and GitHub statistics can change at any time and may be out of date. Always check the official source before relying on it.
• Run commands and install software at your own risk. Review what a command does before running it, especially commands that install software or need elevated permissions.
• Product names, logos and trademarks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the tools.

3. Accounts

• You sign in with your GitHub account. You're responsible for activity under your account.
• We may change a user's role (for example, grant or remove the ability to submit tools), or suspend or remove an account, at our discretion — for example, for spam or abuse.

4. Contributions

If you're allowed to submit tools, then for anything you submit:

• Be accurate. Describe tools truthfully, and don't present unverified claims as facts.
• Only submit what you have the right to share. Write descriptions in your own words; don't paste text you don't have permission to use.
• No harmful content. Don't submit malware, links to malicious or deceptive sites, spam, affiliate or referral links, or illegal content.
• Review and editing. Every submission is reviewed. We may edit, reject, unpublish or delete any submission at any time, without notice.
• Licence. You keep any rights you have in your submission, and you give The ToolBolt a free, worldwide, non-exclusive licence to publish, display, edit and adapt it on the site and in related channels (for example, social posts about a tool).
• Credit. Published tools show your GitHub username and avatar as the contributor.

5. Acceptable use

Please don't:

• Scrape or copy the site in bulk, or overload it with automated requests.
• Try to access accounts, areas or data you're not authorised to access.
• Interfere with the site's security or normal operation.

6. Removal and correction requests

If you own or represent a listed tool and want something corrected or removed, or you believe content on the site infringes your rights, please send a correction or removal request. We'll review requests promptly.

7. No warranty

The site is provided “as is” and “as available”, free of charge, without warranties of any kind — including accuracy, completeness, availability or fitness for a particular purpose.

8. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, The ToolBolt and its maintainers are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or of any tool, link or command listed on it.

9. Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. The “last updated” date at the top shows when they last changed. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
