Terms of Service

Last updated: November 13, 2026

1. Who we are

browse-ai.tools (the "Website" or "Service") is operated by browse-ai.tools, an independent directory run from the Netherlands ("we", "us" or "our"). You can reach us through our Contact Page or at contact@browse-ai.tools.

2. These Terms

These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to every use of the Website, including browsing, voting, submitting a tool, buying a listing and advertising. By using the Website you agree to these Terms and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

In these Terms, a "business user" is anyone who uses the Website for purposes related to their trade, business, craft or profession, for example by submitting or listing a product, buying a paid placement or advertising. A "consumer" is a natural person acting outside those purposes. Where a provision says it applies to business users only, it does not apply to consumers. Nothing in these Terms limits rights that consumers have under mandatory law.

3. What the Website is

The Website is an independent directory and information platform about AI tools, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, agent skills and related products, with guides and articles. We help you find products; we do not develop, sell, host, operate or support the products we list unless we expressly say so, and we are not a party to any agreement between you and the provider of a listed product.

You must be at least 16 years old to use the Website, and at least 18 years old and legally able to enter into a binding contract to submit a tool, buy a paid service or advertise.

4. Information on the Website

Listings, comparisons, guides and other content are compiled from public sources, including the providers' own websites, and are prepared by our editors, in part with the help of AI tools. We work to keep this information accurate and up to date, but features, prices, plans, availability, security properties and terms of listed products change often and may differ by country. Information on the Website may therefore be incomplete, out of date or wrong, and is provided for general information only.

Nothing on the Website is legal, financial, security, medical or other professional advice, or a recommendation to buy or use a particular product. Always check the provider's official information before you rely on it. Prices are shown as the provider publishes them, normally in US dollars, and may exclude taxes.

5. Rankings, sponsored placements, votes and affiliate links

Ordering. Unless you choose another sort or filter, listings are ordered mainly by a popularity score that we assign and review from time to time, based on signals such as search interest, editorial assessment and visitor votes, and are grouped by category. Search results are matched on names, descriptions, categories and tags.

Sponsored placements. Business users can pay for featured or sponsored placements. These appear in designated positions and are labelled, for example as "Sponsored", "Featured" or "Ad". Payment does not buy a positive description or an endorsement.

Featured placements we fill ourselves. When a tool-placement position for a week has not been booked by the time booking for that week closes, we choose what appears there. These "Featured" placements can include tools whose providers have an affiliate arrangement with us and tools that we own or operate, such as Survivly (survivly.app). They are labelled "Featured" (not "Sponsored") because no advertiser pays for them; where a card links through an affiliate link, it says so. They take only positions nobody booked, never replace a pending or approved booking, and do not affect votes, organic ranking or our descriptions.

Sidebar cards. The sidebar of tool, MCP server, skill and guide pages shows the same tool placements as the lists, in the same order (position 1 first). A tool placement therefore includes a sponsor card in that sidebar; there is no separate booking. Sidebar cards carry the same labels as the placement they come from ("Sponsored" when booked by an advertiser, "Featured" when we filled the position ourselves) and use sponsored links. A page never shows a card for its own tool. Sponsors, advertisers and affiliate partners never influence the content of our articles, reviews, alternatives lists, votes or organic ranking; the alternatives and related lists on a page are chosen by content and are never mixed with sponsor cards.

Votes. Upvotes are anonymous, limited per visitor per day and protected against simple abuse, but we do not verify that a vote comes from someone who used the product. Upvotes are not reviews.

Affiliate links. Some links to providers are affiliate links: if you sign up or buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. See our Affiliate Disclosure. Affiliate relationships do not determine whether a product is listed.

6. Third-party products, MCP servers and agent skills

Products listed on or linked from the Website, including AI tools, MCP servers, agent skills and other software, are made and maintained by third parties. They can process the data you give them and can run code on your device or on a server. MCP servers and agent skills can also give an AI assistant access to your files, accounts, data and connected services, including the ability to take actions on your behalf. Your use of any such product is governed by its provider's own terms and privacy policy.

Labels are information, not certification. Labels such as "official", "community", "reference implementation" or "maintainer not verified", and descriptions of permissions, installation, supported clients or security, reflect information available to us when published and may be incomplete or out of date. They are not an endorsement, recommendation, security review, audit, certification or guarantee. We do not review the source code of listed software.

Your responsibility. You decide whether to sign up for, install or use a listed product. Before you do, you are responsible for checking its source and maintainer, the permissions and data access it requests and its privacy practices, for using credentials with the least access needed, for keeping backups, and for complying with its licence and terms. You do so at your own risk.

7. Acceptable use

When using the Website you must not:

  • break any law or infringe anyone’s rights;
  • submit false, misleading or fraudulent listings, or impersonate a provider;
  • manipulate rankings, votes or other engagement, for example with multiple identities, scripts or paid voting;
  • copy, scrape or harvest content or data from the Website in bulk, or build a competing database from it, by automated or manual means, without our written permission (indexing by search engines in line with our robots.txt is allowed);
  • attempt to gain unauthorised access to, test the vulnerability of, overload or disrupt the Website or our systems;
  • upload or transmit viruses, malware or other harmful code;
  • remove or alter legal, copyright or proprietary notices.

8. Products we do not list

We do not list, and you must not submit or advertise, products in the following categories:

  • Gambling and betting: tools that facilitate gambling, betting, wagering, casino games, sports betting, lotteries or games of chance involving real or virtual currency
  • Illegal activities: tools that promote, facilitate or enable illegal activities, including hacking, fraud, identity theft, money laundering or drug trafficking
  • Harmful or hateful content: tools that generate, distribute or promote hate speech, harassment, bullying, violence or discrimination based on protected characteristics
  • Malicious software: tools designed to create, distribute or deploy malware, viruses, trojans, ransomware, spyware or other malicious code
  • Phishing and scams: tools that facilitate phishing, social engineering, scams or other fraud
  • Privacy violations: tools that enable unauthorised surveillance, stalking, covert data harvesting or other privacy violations
  • Intellectual property infringement: tools that facilitate copyright or trademark infringement, piracy or other unauthorised use of intellectual property
  • Misinformation and deceptive deepfakes: tools designed primarily to produce false information or deceptive impersonation of real people
  • Financial fraud: tools that promote pyramid schemes, Ponzi schemes, pump-and-dump schemes or other financial fraud
  • Weapons and violence: tools related to weapons manufacturing or explosives, or that promote violence, terrorism or self-harm
  • Sexual content: tools whose main purpose is to generate or distribute sexually explicit material, and any tool that creates sexual or intimate imagery of real people without their consent
  • Unauthorised regulated services: tools offering services in regulated sectors (such as healthcare, finance, legal services or telecommunications) without the required authorisation or licence

Products intended for adults that do not fall under these categories may be listed with an 18+ label. They cannot be advertised. A listing is not an endorsement.

9. Submissions and listings (business users)

If you submit a product, buy a listing or otherwise provide content to us, you confirm that:

  • you are the provider of the product or are authorised to act for it;
  • the information you provide is accurate, complete and not misleading, and you will tell us when it changes;
  • the product and your content comply with applicable law, these Terms and the rights of third parties.

Licence. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, adapt, translate, publish and display the content you provide (including names, logos and screenshots) to operate, show and promote the Website and the listing, in any medium. The licence continues for content already published or archived after the listing ends. You keep ownership of your content.

Editorial control. We decide which products we list and how. We may edit, shorten, correct, categorise, label or re-rank listings for accuracy, clarity and consistency, and may decline a submission. If we restrict, suspend or remove a listing you submitted or paid for, we will tell you the reasons, unless the law prevents us, or the reason is repeated or serious breach of these Terms, or the content is illegal.

10. Reporting illegal content and complaints

If you believe something on the Website is illegal, infringes your rights (such as a copyright or trademark), or describes a product inaccurately or harmfully, please report it through our Contact Page or at contact@browse-ai.tools. Include where it appears (the address of the page), why you believe it is illegal or wrong, your name and e-mail address (unless the report concerns child sexual abuse material), and a statement that your report is made in good faith and is accurate and complete.

We review reports carefully, objectively and in a timely way, may correct, label, restrict or remove content, and let the reporter know our decision. When we restrict or remove content you provided, we tell you the reasons. If you disagree with a decision, reply to our message or contact us and we will review it again. These rights are in addition to your right to go to court.

11. Intellectual property

The Website, including its design, text, guides, compilations, database and software, is protected by copyright, database rights and other intellectual property rights belonging to us or our licensors. You may view and use the Website for your own information, including in your work, and share links to it. Any other use, in particular systematic copying or re-use of substantial parts of the content or database, requires our prior written permission.

Product names, logos, screenshots and trademarks shown on the Website belong to their respective owners and are used only to identify and describe their products. Their use does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those owners. If you own such material and want it changed or removed, contact us as described in section 10.

12. Paid services

We may offer paid services, such as listings, featured placements and advertising. This section applies only when we do and you order one; using the Website itself is free. Paid services are intended for business users. Prices are shown in US dollars and exclude VAT and other taxes unless stated otherwise. Payments are processed by Stripe; we do not store full card details. By paying, you also accept Stripe's terms. You are responsible for any fees charged by your bank or payment provider.

A paid service starts when we confirm your order and runs for the period stated in the offer. We may change prices for future orders; a change never affects a period you have already paid for. Paid placements do not guarantee any traffic, clicks, conversions or results.

Refunds. Because listings and placements are processed and published quickly, paid services are not refundable once delivered, except in the case of a technical error on our side, a duplicate charge, or if we cannot deliver what you ordered, in which case we refund the undelivered part. Contact us within 14 days of the charge. If you are a consumer in the European Union, you have a 14-day right of withdrawal; by asking us to start the service immediately, you agree that it starts within that period and acknowledge that you lose your right of withdrawal once the service has been fully performed, and that you pay a proportionate amount if you withdraw earlier.

12a. Voluntary support

You can support the Website with a voluntary contribution, for example through Buy Me a Coffee. A contribution is a gift: it is not a purchase, does not create an agreement for any service, and gives you no right to a listing, a placement, a better ranking, a review or any other benefit. Contributions never influence what we list or how we describe or rank products. Contributions are processed by the platform you use, under its own terms and privacy policy. Because nothing is delivered in return, contributions are not refundable, except where the law requires otherwise or in the case of a mistaken or duplicate payment reported to us within 14 days.

13. Advertising

Advertisers are responsible for the content, accuracy and legality of their advertisements and for complying with applicable advertising and consumer-protection rules. Advertisements must not concern products in the categories listed in section 8, or products intended for adults (18+). We may reject, pause or remove any advertisement that breaks these Terms or the law, or that we reasonably consider harmful to our visitors, and section 12 applies to any refund. Accepting an advertisement is not an endorsement of the advertised product.

Sponsored placements: how they work. A request for a sponsored placement (a tool position in a list, a header banner or, later, an article placement) is an offer from you, not a booking. It becomes a booking only when we approve it; until then it is pending and nothing is shown. We may approve, reject or move a request, for example to a waiting list or to another week, without giving a reason, and we tell you by email. You must accept these Terms, including this section, before you send a request, and we record the time and version of that acceptance together with your name, website and email address.

Period and expiry. A tool position runs for whole weeks (Monday to Sunday, up to three consecutive weeks per request) and a header banner for one calendar month. Each placement has an end date and stops automatically on it; it is not renewed unless you request and we approve a new period. Either of us may cancel a placement that has not started; we may end a running placement at once if it breaks these Terms or the law.

Free period. Sponsored placements are currently free for a limited time. We may end the free period or introduce prices at any time for future requests, without affecting a period already approved. Any price will be shown in US dollars before you confirm, and VAT is added where it applies. Payment, invoicing and VAT details for paid placements are added to these Terms before the first paid booking.

Labelling and independence. Every sponsored placement is labelled, for example "Sponsored", including when it is free. A placement changes only where an entry appears; it does not change votes, organic ranking or our editorial descriptions.

Content rules. The tool, its website, its logo and any text you supply must be accurate, lawful and yours to use, must not mislead, and must not fall within the categories in section 8. You grant us a licence to display the name, logo and text you supply for the placement. We may edit or shorten text to fit the format.

No guarantee. We do not guarantee impressions, clicks, visitors, sign-ups, sales or any other result. Visitor figures shown on the advertising page are historical and for information only.

14. No warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Website and all information on it are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, availability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Website will be uninterrupted, secure or free of errors, or that listed products are safe, lawful, suitable or as described.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law:

  • we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from or connected with any third-party product or website, including its sign-up, installation, configuration or use, or reliance on information about it, such as data loss or corruption, unauthorised access to accounts or systems, security incidents, charges made by third-party services, or interruption or malfunction of your systems;
  • we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, including loss of profit, revenue, business, goodwill or data;
  • our total liability to you for all claims arising from or connected with the Website or these Terms is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the event giving rise to the claim, or US$100 (or the equivalent in euros) if you paid us nothing.

These limitations also protect anyone who works for us and our suppliers. They do not apply to liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for damage caused by our intent or deliberate recklessness, or to any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including mandatory consumer law. A business user must notify us in writing of any claim within 12 months after becoming aware of it; after that, the claim lapses.

16. Indemnity (business users)

If you are a business user, you will compensate us for, and hold us harmless against, any third-party claim, loss and reasonable costs (including legal costs) arising from the content or product you submitted or advertised, or from your breach of these Terms or of the law.

17. Suspension and termination

We may restrict, suspend or end your access to the Website, or remove content you provided, if you break these Terms or the law, or if we are required to do so. For paid services, we will give you reasons and, except in cases of serious or repeated breach, illegal content or a legal obligation, reasonable advance notice. You may stop using the Website at any time. Sections that by their nature should continue after termination, including sections 6, 9 (licence), 11, 14, 15, 16, 19 and 20, continue to apply.

18. Changes to the Website and these Terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue parts of the Website. We may also change these Terms, for example to reflect new features or legal requirements. We publish the new version here with a new date. For material changes, we inform business users with an active paid service at least 15 days in advance by e-mail or on the Website; changes do not affect a paid period that has already started. If you continue to use the Website after a change takes effect, the new Terms apply; if you do not agree, you must stop using the Website.

19. Privacy

How we handle personal data is described in our Privacy Policy and our Cookie Policy.

20. Governing law and disputes

These Terms and any dispute arising from them or from your use of the Website are governed by the laws of the Netherlands, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Disputes are submitted exclusively to the competent court in the Netherlands. If you are a consumer, you keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence and may also bring proceedings before the courts of that country. Please contact us first; most issues can be solved quickly.

21. General

  • If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains in force, and the provision is replaced by a valid one that comes closest to its purpose.
  • Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
  • We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms to a successor operating the Website; we will tell you if this affects a paid service you have with us. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.
  • We are not responsible for failures or delays caused by circumstances beyond our reasonable control, such as outages of hosting, payment or network providers.
  • These Terms, together with any order confirmation for a paid service, are the entire agreement between you and us about the Website. If we provide a translation, the English version prevails.
