Terms of Service

Please read these terms carefully before using LaunchNests, submitting products, or accessing our developer APIs and machine-readable surfaces.

1. Agreement to Terms

By accessing or using LaunchNests (including our website, REST API, Model Context Protocol server, and related feeds), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not access or use the platform.

2. Submissions & Directory Listings

When listing a developer tool, software product, or project on LaunchNests:

  • You warrant that you own or are an authorized representative of the tool or product submitted.
  • You agree to provide factual, truthful descriptions, correct outbound links, and honest tech stack declarations.
  • Submissions containing malware, deceptive marketing, spyware, hate speech, or malicious redirects are strictly prohibited.
  • LaunchNests reserves the right to review, edit, recategorize, or remove any listing that violates our community standards.

3. Community Ranking & Voting Integrity

Our leaderboard and discovery algorithms rely on genuine community signals. Any attempts to manipulate upvotes, build counts, or ranking positions using bot farms, click automation, sybil accounts, or coordinated vote-trading schemes are strictly forbidden and will result in immediate disqualification and account banning.

4. Paid Services & Promotional Boosts

LaunchNests offers optional paid verification badges and promotional listing tiers (such as Featured Builder and Ecosystem Partner). All purchases are processed securely. Details regarding cancellations and refund qualifications are governed by our Refund Policy.

5. AI Agent & Machine-Readable Usage

AI answer engines and autonomous agents are granted permission to index and cite public data published on LaunchNests (via `/llms.txt`, `/v1`, and our Model Context Protocol endpoints) in compliance with our published `ai.txt` behavioral guidelines. Automated callers must respect rate limits and attribute quotes to LaunchNests.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

LaunchNests is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis without warranties of any kind. We do not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for any third-party developer software, APIs, or websites cataloged in our directory.
