Terms and conditions

1. Who these terms are with

aitoolperks.com is operated by Nole AI LLC, a limited liability company registered in the United States (the "Company", "we", "us"). These terms form an agreement between you and the Company covering your use of the site, the free account, and the email newsletter.

By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, do not use the site.

2. What this site is

We publish a directory of startup programmes offered by third party vendors: credits, discounts and extended free tiers. For each listing we read the vendor's own published terms and record what they say, together with the date we read them.

We are not the provider of any perk, we are not an agent of any vendor, and we cannot grant, extend, reinstate or restore any offer. Every perk is granted or refused by the vendor under the vendor's own terms, and those terms govern the relationship between you and them.

3. What we promise about listings, and what we do not

We promise that each listing describes what the vendor's page said on the date shown on the listing, and that we correct or remove a listing once we know it no longer matches.

We do not promise that any perk is still available, that you will be accepted, that the value stated by the vendor is the value you will receive, or that a vendor will honour terms it has published. Programmes are changed and withdrawn by vendors without notice and without telling us.

Where a vendor does not publish a figure, we record the value as not published rather than estimating one. A stated maximum is a ceiling set by the vendor, not an amount owed to you by anyone.

Read the vendor's own page before you rely on anything here or sign anything with them.

4. Accounts

An account is free and is created by signing in with Google. There is no paid tier, no trial and nothing to cancel for money.

You are responsible for the Google account you sign in with and for activity that happens through your account. Use accurate information. Do not create accounts by automated means, and do not share one account across an organisation in order to defeat the reading limit.

You may stop using the account at any time and ask us to delete it. We may suspend or close an account that breaches these terms.

5. Reading limit

Every listing is open to everyone without an account: the vendor, the offer, the value, who qualifies and what you get without the perk. Reading the full terms of a listing is limited to 5 listings a month without an account, and is unlimited with one.

The limit is counted in your browser. Clearing cookies resets it, which we accept. Building tooling whose purpose is to defeat the limit at scale is a breach of the acceptable use section below.

6. Newsletter

Creating an account subscribes you to the weekly email. Every issue carries a one click unsubscribe, and unsubscribing does not affect your account or your access to the site.

We do not sell, rent or share the mailing list with vendors or anyone else. A sponsor buys a labelled slot inside an issue, never the list.

7. Paid placement and affiliate links

We make money in three ways: affiliate commissions on some outbound links, sponsored listings that are labelled as sponsored, and one labelled sponsor per newsletter issue.

The order of every list is computed from the reader's own answers and from facts about each perk: the value the vendor publishes, the stage or age at which it closes, the number of steps to claim it, and any end date. Order is not for sale, and paying does not move a listing up it. A sponsored listing sits in its own labelled slot and is excluded from the computed order, and no more than one appears per list.

Where an outbound link can earn us a commission, the page says so next to the link. Where it cannot, the page says that instead. A commission never changes what we publish about a vendor's terms.

8. Acceptable use

• Do not copy the index, or a substantial part of it, in order to republish or resell it.
• Do not use automated means to extract listings in bulk, or to create accounts, beyond what our robots.txt permits.
• Do not attempt to defeat the reading limit systematically, for example by rotating identifiers or accounts.
• Do not interfere with the site's operation, probe it for vulnerabilities without permission, or use it to send unsolicited email.
• Do not present the site's content as your own, or in a way that suggests we endorse you or a vendor endorses us.

9. Content ownership

The selection, arrangement, wording and verification of the directory are ours, and are protected as a compilation. You may quote and link to individual listings with attribution. You may not reproduce the directory or a substantial part of it.

Vendor names, logos and trademarks belong to the vendors. We use them to identify the programme being described. Nothing here implies that a vendor sponsors, endorses or is affiliated with us unless the page says so in the sponsorship label.

If you believe something on the site infringes your rights, write to us at the contact address and tell us what and where, and we will look at it.

10. Third party sites and services

Outbound links lead to sites we do not control. Their terms and their privacy practices apply once you leave, and we are not responsible for them or for anything you agree to there.

The site relies on third party services to work, including Google for sign in and an email provider for the newsletter. Those services have their own terms.

11. No warranty

The site is provided "as is" and "as available". To the fullest extent permitted by law we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non infringement, and any warranty that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error free, or that its content is accurate, complete or current.

Nothing on the site is legal, tax, accounting or financial advice.

12. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company is not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, nor for lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, lost savings, loss of goodwill, or the cost of substitute services, arising out of or relating to your use of the site, even if we were told such damages were possible.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, our total liability for all claims relating to the site is limited to the greater of the amount you have paid us in the twelve months before the claim, which for a free account is nothing, or one hundred United States dollars.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation of certain liabilities. Where that is the case, the exclusions and limits above apply only as far as the law allows, and nothing here limits liability for fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, death or personal injury caused by negligence, or anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

13. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify the Company against claims, losses and reasonable legal costs arising from your breach of these terms or your misuse of the site.

14. Changes to the site and to these terms

We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site, including any listing, at any time.

We may change these terms. When we do, we update the effective date at the top of this page. If a change materially reduces your rights we will give notice through the site or by email before it takes effect. Continuing to use the site after a change takes effect means you accept the revised terms.

15. Termination

You may stop using the site at any time. We may suspend or end your access if you breach these terms or if we discontinue the service. The sections on content ownership, no warranty, limitation of liability and indemnity survive the end of this agreement.

16. Governing law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which the Company is formed, without regard to its conflict of law rules. Disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located there, and both parties consent to that jurisdiction and venue.

If you are a consumer resident somewhere whose law gives you the right to bring proceedings locally, or gives you protections that cannot be waived by agreement, nothing here takes that away.

Before starting formal proceedings, please write to us and give us thirty days to resolve the matter.

17. General

If a provision of these terms is held unenforceable, the rest continues to apply. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. You may not transfer your rights under these terms without our consent; we may transfer ours as part of a merger, acquisition or sale of assets, on notice to you.

These terms, together with the privacy policy, are the whole agreement between you and us about the site.
