Terms of Service

An independent, autonomous AI tools directory.

Volvenix curates, categorises, scores, and compares third-party AI software tools. The platform is operated by an automated pipeline; there is no human editorial team. We do not develop, sell, or operate any of the AI tools listed. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or in partnership with any tool listed on the Site unless explicitly marked with a "Sponsored" or "Featured" badge.

Age requirements vary by jurisdiction.

The Site is available globally. You must be at least 13 years old to use the Site. In jurisdictions where the age of digital consent is higher (e.g. 16 in many EU member states), you must meet the applicable local age requirement. Volvenix does not knowingly allow children under 13 — or under the applicable local minimum age — to create accounts or submit personal data. If we discover that a user is below the applicable minimum age, we will promptly delete their account and all associated data.

If you are under 18, you must have verifiable parental or guardian consent. By using the Site, you represent that you meet your jurisdiction's eligibility requirements. You are responsible for ensuring your use of the Site complies with all laws applicable in your country or region.

What you agree to when you create an account.

When you create an account on Volvenix you agree to:

• Provide accurate, complete, and current registration information
• Maintain the security of your credentials and accept responsibility for all activity under your account
• Notify us immediately at [email protected] of any unauthorised access
• Not share credentials with any third party

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, without prior notice where legally permitted.

Five signals, no pay-to-rank, transparent commercial relationships.

Our scoring formula is fully automated and runs without manual overrides. Five signals combine into the overall score: Quality 40% · Engagement 20% · Metadata completeness 15% · Authority 15% · Trend 10%. The full methodology is on the About page.

• No pay-to-rank. Affiliate revenue and sponsorship payments do not influence scores, rankings, or comparison results. The scoring formula has no input field that money can buy.
• Sponsored / Featured placements are paid positions that appear above organic results and are always clearly marked with a badge. This may affect placement but does not alter the underlying score.
• Affiliate links. Some "Visit Tool" links include affiliate parameters. If you click and convert, Volvenix may earn a commission at no additional cost to you.
• Regulatory compliance. All material commercial relationships are disclosed in accordance with the US FTC Endorsement Guides, EU Directive 2005/29/EC on unfair commercial practices, UK CAP Code, and equivalent regulations in other jurisdictions.

Verifying ownership of a listed tool.

Tool developers and vendors ("Claimants") may submit a claim to verify ownership of a listed tool. By submitting a claim you represent that:

• You are the authorised representative of the tool vendor
• All information provided is accurate
• You have the right to update the tool's listing

Approved claimants gain access to manage their listing fields directly, respond to user feedback where it exists, and submit updates. The full claim flow is documented on the Vendor Data Policy. We reserve the right to revoke claim status for violations of these Terms.

What rights you grant when you post.

You may submit reviews, ratings, comments, and discussion posts ("UGC") through the platform. By submitting UGC, you grant Volvenix a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, non-exclusive, sublicensable licence to display, reproduce, distribute, and adapt that content on the Site and in promotional materials, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

You agree NOT to submit content that:

• Is false, defamatory, or unlawful
• Infringes any intellectual property right
• Contains spam, malware, or phishing
• Harasses or discriminates against any person or group

We reserve the right to remove any UGC without notice. We do not verify reviewer identity and do not endorse any user opinion.

Volvenix content is ours; you have personal-use rights.

All Site content — including text, graphics, logos, ranking data, comparison summaries, and AI-generated insights — is the property of Volvenix or its licensors and is protected under the Indian Copyright Act 1957, the Berne Convention, and applicable intellectual property laws worldwide. You may not scrape, reproduce, or commercially exploit any Site content without prior written permission. Personal, non-commercial use (sharing links, short excerpts with attribution) is permitted.

Nominative fair use; removal on request.

• Nominative fair use. Volvenix displays the names, logos, and brand marks of third-party AI tools solely to identify and review those products. This use is consistent with the doctrine of nominative fair use (and equivalent principles under applicable trademark law) and does not imply sponsorship, affiliation, or endorsement by the trademark owner. Volvenix does not claim ownership of any third-party trademark, service mark, or trade dress.
• Screenshots. Interface screenshots reproduced on this Site are used for editorial commentary, comparison, and review purposes. Such use is generally protected as fair use (or fair dealing in applicable jurisdictions) because it is transformative — screenshots appear alongside our automated analysis and are not a substitute for the original product. Where a vendor's Terms of Service explicitly prohibit reproduction of their interface, Volvenix will honour a written removal request promptly.
• No implied endorsement. The presence of a third-party logo, trademark, or screenshot on this Site does not suggest that Volvenix is sponsored by, affiliated with, or endorsed by the owner of that mark. All tool pages include a clear "Visit [Tool Name]" link to the official vendor website.
• Removal requests. If you are the legal owner of a trademark or copyrighted interface displayed on Volvenix and believe our use exceeds fair use, contact [email protected] with your full legal name, the tool or asset in question, and the basis for your request. We acknowledge receipt and reply once the request has been reviewed.

Most descriptions and reviews are generated by AI.

Tool descriptions, comparison summaries, editorial reviews, pros/cons lists, and use-case write-ups are produced by Volvenix's automated pipeline (AI extraction + rule-based scoring) from publicly available data. Every tool's Editorial Review block carries an explicit AI-generated, AI-assisted, or Human-written badge so you always know the provenance of the content you are reading.

AI-generated content can contain errors, omissions, hallucinations, or outdated information. Do not rely solely on Volvenix summaries; verify details with the respective vendor before making any purchasing or business decision. The full posture is documented on the Disclaimer.

"As is" and "as available".

THE SITE AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted or error-free, that tool information is accurate or current, or that the Site is free of harmful components. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties; in such cases, this exclusion applies to the maximum extent permitted by law.

Aggregate cap: INR 5,000 or the amount you paid us.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, VOLVENIX AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES ARISING FROM YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR RELIANCE ON ANY TOOL INFORMATION. Our total aggregate liability for any claim shall not exceed the greater of: (a) INR 5,000; or (b) the amount you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

Outbound links are not endorsements.

The Site contains links to third-party websites. These are provided for convenience only. We have no control over third-party content and accept no responsibility for their privacy practices, terms, or content. Your use of third-party sites is at your own risk.

India; exclusive jurisdiction of Hyderabad courts.

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of India. Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms or your use of the Site shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

Any dispute shall first be submitted to good-faith written negotiation for 30 days. If unresolved, it shall proceed to the courts of Hyderabad, Telangana, India.

We post updates with a revised "Effective date".

We may update these Terms at any time. We will notify registered users via email and post the updated Terms with a revised "Effective date" at the top of this page. For material changes, we will provide at least 15 days' advance notice. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
