The guidelines that keep ToolCategory thriving.

Acceptance of terms

By accessing or using ToolCategory, you agree to these terms and any policies referenced here. If you are using the platform on behalf of an organization, you confirm you have authority to bind that organization to these terms.

Accounts & submissions

You are responsible for the accuracy of the information submitted, safeguarding your credentials, and ensuring that your content complies with applicable laws and does not infringe the rights of others.

• Only submit tools you are authorized to represent, with truthful descriptions and media.
• Do not upload malicious code, spam, or misleading claims.
• Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized use of your account.

Plans, billing & refunds

Paid plans enhance visibility and unlock premium features. Unless otherwise stated, subscriptions renew automatically until canceled. Refunds may be considered if a service failure is on ToolCategory.

• You can cancel renewals at any time in your billing center or by contacting support.
• Promotional placements are scheduled in advance; missed deadlines caused by maker delays may forfeit slots without refund.
• Taxes may apply depending on your jurisdiction and are your responsibility when not collected by ToolCategory.

Intellectual property

ToolCategory respects IP rights. All platform assets, logos, and curated collections are owned by ToolCategory. You retain rights to your own content but grant us a license to display and promote it across properties and partner feeds.

Acceptable use

Keep the community constructive. You agree not to misuse the platform, scrape data, resell access, or engage in behavior that harms other members or the marketplace.

• No automated scraping or rate-limiting attacks.
• No harassment, hate speech, or deceptive reviews.
• Respect confidentiality of beta features shared under NDA.

Termination

We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms. You may close your account at any time. Certain sections—like intellectual property, indemnity, and dispute resolution—survive termination.

Dispute resolution

We aim to resolve issues quickly. Contact support first; if not resolved, disputes will be handled under the laws of the State of California, USA, with San Francisco County as the exclusive venue.
