Terms of Use

AI Bookmark is a discovery directory. We give people a central place to find AI apps and the makers behind them. We do not build, own, host, operate, resell, vet, audit, test, certify, endorse, or guarantee any listed app, and we are not a party to any transaction or relationship between a maker and a visitor.

A listing is an editorial pointer to someone else's product. When you click through to a listed app you leave AI Bookmark and deal directly with that app and its maker. Your dealings with any listed app are entirely between you and the maker, and a listing is never an endorsement.

To submit a listing you sign in with an email address. This is a lightweight, unverified sign-in — we do not currently confirm that you own the email you enter. You are responsible for everything done under your sign-in and agree to provide accurate contact information. Submitting a listing under someone else's identity, or with a false or throwaway email to evade these Terms, is prohibited and is grounds for removal.

AI Bookmark lists open-source apps. To list an app it must be open source — and stay that way. When you submit a listing you must (1) provide a public source-code repository URL where the app's complete source is genuinely available, (2) choose an OSI-approved open-source license (for example MIT, Apache-2.0, GPL-3.0, AGPL-3.0, BSD-3-Clause, or MPL-2.0) that actually applies and which you have the right to apply, and (3) keep the repository public and the license OSI-approved for as long as the listing is live.

You agree that we may re-check any listing's repository and license at any time, that visitors may report a listing that appears not to be open source, and that if a repository goes private, disappears, or stops being released under an OSI-approved license we may remove the listing or strip its open-source status at any time, without notice and without liability to you. Every open-source claim you make — the repo URL, the license, and that the code is the app you're listing — is a representation under Section 5, and a false claim is your responsibility under the indemnity in Section 6. Re-checking is best-effort, not a guarantee.

You are solely responsible and liable for your app and for every open-source claim you make. If your app is not open source, or any repository URL, license, or open-source statement you provide is false, incomplete, or stops being true, you bear any and all resulting liability — AI Bookmark and the operator have no liability for it whatsoever — and you indemnify us for it under Section 6.

You keep all right, title, and interest in your app and everything you submit — your name, branding, descriptions, screenshots, content, code, and the app itself. Listing on AI Bookmark transfers no ownership or intellectual property to us and does not make us a co-owner of what you build.

So that your listing can appear and be promoted, you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute the information you submit — name, tagline, description, category, emoji, links, repository URL, license, and any screenshots or images — for the purpose of operating and promoting the directory. That is the only right you grant. You can update or remove your listing at any time, which ends that license going forward (except for copies already cached or required by law).

Auto-pulled content: when you submit a link, the Site may automatically fetch and display the target page's title, description, and a screenshot (these previews are generated via third-party services). We do this in reliance on your representations in Section 5 that you own or are authorized to submit that content, and you are responsible for making sure everything shown is something you have the right to display.

By submitting a listing, you represent and warrant that, now and for as long as the listing is live:

• you are at least 18 years old and have authority to agree to these Terms;
• you own, or are fully licensed and authorized to submit, everything in your listing — the app, name, branding, description, code, screenshots, and any images or metadata;
• your app and listing do not infringe or violate anyone's rights, including copyright, trademark, patent, trade-secret, privacy, or publicity rights;
• your app is lawful and is not malware, spyware, a scam, deceptive, or otherwise harmful, and complies with applicable law;
• every open-source claim you make is true, as described in Section 3;
• everything you submit is accurate and not misleading.

These promises survive removal of your listing.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Dogfoodcafe and the operator of AI Bookmark, and their owners, officers, and agents, from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, lawsuits, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or related to: your app or listing; your content, including anything auto-pulled from a link you submitted; your breach of these Terms or of any promise in Section 5; any false or inaccurate open-source claim; your infringement or violation of anyone's rights or any law; or any dealing, transaction, defect, data incident, or harm involving your app and any visitor.

We may take over the defense of any such claim at your expense, and you will cooperate with us. This obligation survives removal of your listing and termination of these Terms.

You may not submit, list, or use the Site to promote anything that:

• is malware, spyware, or otherwise malicious or insecure by design;
• is a scam, fraud, phishing, or deceptive;
• infringes anyone's intellectual property or other rights;
• impersonates another person, maker, or brand;
• is illegal or facilitates illegal activity;
• is adult/sexual content, or — without exception — any content that sexually exploits minors (which we report to authorities);
• is hateful, harassing, or incites violence.

We may remove anything that violates this policy.

THE SITE, THE DIRECTORY, AND EVERY LISTED APP ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, secure, accurate, or error-free, and we make no warranty whatsoever about any listed app — including its safety, security, quality, legality, availability, performance, data or privacy practices, or whether it is genuinely open source. You access listed apps at your own risk. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW:

We will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, or business interruption, arising out of or related to the Site or any listed app — even if we were advised such damages were possible.

Our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or related to the Site and these Terms will not exceed the greater of (a) US $100 or (b) the total amount you actually paid us, if any, in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim. These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and even if a remedy fails of its essential purpose. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

We respect intellectual-property rights and respond to valid notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe a listing or content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated agent at info@aibookmark.app.

Your notice must include:

• identification of the copyrighted work you say is infringed;
• identification of the infringing listing or material, including the listing URL;
• your name, address, telephone number, and email;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner; and
• your physical or electronic signature.

When we receive a valid notice we will promptly remove or disable the listing, notify the maker, and allow a counter-notice. A counter-notice (sent to info@aibookmark.app) must identify the removed material and where it appeared, include a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address, phone, and email, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court and to accept service from the complaining party. We may then restore the material as the DMCA allows. We remove and bar repeat infringers in appropriate cases.

We may remove, refuse, edit, unpublish, or decline any listing — and may add, change, or remove badges (including the open-source badge) — for any reason or no reason, with or without notice, and without liability to you. This includes listings that fail an open-source re-check, violate Section 7, or that we simply choose not to carry. You can also archive or remove your own listing at any time from your dashboard.

The "I'd use this" signal records interest only. It is free, non-binding, and is not a purchase, pre-order, payment, or endorsement. Any posting fees, where they apply, pay for a listing on the directory — not for any app.

We keep the data we collect minimal. We collect the email you sign in with; the contact details visitors provide on interest signals or that you provide in a listing (which may include a name, email, and phone number); and the public business contact info you reach us at. Listing previews and screenshots are generated using third-party services. We use this data to tie a listing to its maker, route interested visitors to makers, operate and secure the Site, and respond to legal notices.

We do not sell your contact information. You can remove your listing yourself, or email info@aibookmark.app to ask us to delete your contact data, subject to records we must keep (for example, to evidence agreement to these Terms). Depending on where you live you may have rights to access or delete your personal information (for example, under CCPA-style laws); email info@aibookmark.app to exercise them.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You and we agree that the exclusive venue for any dispute is the state and federal courts located in California, and you consent to personal jurisdiction there.

(If you want to require arbitration and a class-action waiver, add that here only after a lawyer reviews it for your state and for consumer-protection rules.)

We may update these Terms as the Site evolves. When we do, we will change the "Last updated" date and version above. Your continued use of the Site, or keeping a listing live, after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in full effect and the unenforceable part is limited only as far as needed. These Terms are the entire agreement between you and us about the Site and replace any earlier understandings. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may.
