Terms of Service
Notice — status: unreviewed draft
DRAFT — this page is placeholder text and has not been reviewed by a lawyer. Do not treat it as binding until it has been.
01Acceptance of terms¶ Link to this section
By accessing or using this site, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the site.
02What this site is¶ Link to this section
This site publishes a public leaderboard that measures which products and brands an AI assistant names in response to product-related questions, along with the methodology behind those measurements. Rankings are a measurement of model output at a point in time, not an endorsement, and not a guarantee that any product is better or worse than another.
03Accounts¶ Link to this section
Some features require an account. You are responsible for the accuracy of the information you provide and for activity that happens under your account. You may delete your account at any time from account settings.
04Acceptable use¶ Link to this section
You agree not to:
- Scrape, mirror, or bulk-extract site data beyond normal browsing;
- Attempt to interfere with, disrupt, or gain unauthorized access to the site, its accounts, or its infrastructure;
- Use the site to violate any applicable law; or
- Misrepresent your affiliation with a product, brand, or submission you interact with on the site.
05Pricing¶ Link to this section
The service is free. There are no paid features, no billing, and no subscriptions — now or for the foreseeable future. We collect no payment information. If that ever changes, these terms will be updated first and the change will be announced on the site.
06No warranty¶ Link to this section
The site and its data are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. Model outputs that drive the rankings are inherently non-deterministic, and rankings may change, lag, or be temporarily wrong. Every score and rank we publish is a computed estimate from sampled observations — the confidence interval printed beside a rank is the honest width of that estimate, not a verification of its correctness.
07Limitation of liability¶ Link to this section
To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of or inability to use the site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Because the service is free, our total aggregate liability for all claims arising out of or relating to the site is capped at fifty US dollars (USD $50).
08Rankings of third parties & corrections¶ Link to this section
We publish rankings and citation data about brands and websites that are not our customers and did not ask to be measured. If you represent a ranked brand and believe our data about you is factually wrong — a misattributed mention, a wrong domain, a mangled name — tell us through Contact Us and we will review the underlying observations and correct verified errors. We do not remove or alter rankings because they are unfavorable; the ledger reports what the Machine said, and an unflattering measurement is not an error.
09Machine access & data reuse¶ Link to this section
We measure how AI systems read the web, so we do not pretend to be unreadable by them: automated agents, crawlers, and AI systems are welcome to fetch, index, cite, and learn from our published pages, and we publish machine-facing files to help them do it accurately. Attribution to airanks.net is appreciated. What this does not license: bulk-copying the rankings dataset to republish as your own product, or hammering the public API past its published rate limits. Cite the ledger; do not become a mirror of it.
10Disputes & arbitration¶ Link to this section
If something goes wrong, tell us first: send a description of the dispute through Contact Us and give us thirty days to fix it before starting any formal proceeding. If we cannot resolve it, the dispute will be settled by binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court — except that either side may bring an individual claim in small-claims court. For claims under USD $10,000, we pay the AAA filing fees. ARBITRATION IS CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS ONLY: NEITHER SIDE MAY BRING OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You can opt out of this arbitration agreement entirely by telling us through Contact Us within thirty days of first accepting these terms. Any claim must be brought within one year of the events giving rise to it, or it is permanently barred.
11Changes to these terms¶ Link to this section
We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use of the site after a change is posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
12Governing law¶ Link to this section
Governing law and jurisdiction: the State of Texas, USA.
