Terms of Service

Last updated: November 4, 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") are the agreement between you and the operator of ToolFlock ("ToolFlock", "we", "us", "our"). "You" means the person using ToolFlock and, where relevant, the organisation that person represents. They cover the public rankings at toolflock.com and the advertising slots. Our Privacy Policy is part of these Terms.

1. Acceptance

1.1. By visiting ToolFlock you agree to these Terms and to the Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use ToolFlock.

2. Who we are

2.1. In these Terms, "ToolFlock", "we", "us" and "our" refer to the operator of the service at toolflock.com.

2.2. Contact: support@toolflock.com.

3. Definitions

  • "Listing": a tool shown on ToolFlock with its name, logo, description, category, review summary, pricing and link.
  • "Ad slot": a labelled advertising placement in a list: the top spot above it, or an ad row between ranked rows (Section 6). It does not change rank.

4. How rankings work

4.1. Rank is decided by our ranking method only. It combines what users say about a tool with how widely it is used. Advertising, fees and relationships do not change the order.

4.2. Rank reflects what users say about a tool in public reviews and discussions, compared across all Listings. List order also considers how widely a tool is used. We do not publish scores, internal weights or calculation details.

4.3. Category filters only narrow what is shown; within a category, Listings keep the same order.

4.4. Figures shown on ToolFlock, including prices, may be delayed or out of date. Check the tool’s own site before you buy.

4.5. Traffic levels use data from the Chrome UX Report by Google, licensed under CC BY 4.0. Traffic charts use the Tranco list of popular websites.

5. Corrections and appeals

5.1. A Listing owner (or an authorised representative) may request a factual correction: wrong URL, logo, name, category, or a data source mismatch. Email support@toolflock.com with the Listing URL and evidence.

5.2. We do not accept requests to raise or lower a ranking for marketing reasons. The same method applies to every Listing.

5.3. Where a correction is accepted, we update the Listing. We aim to reply within a reasonable time.

6. Advertising

6.1. Lists (the home page, category pages and tag pages) can carry two kinds of advertising, both ordered by the total amount each advertiser paid in the last 30 days (each payment counts for 30 days from the day it was made):

  • Top spot: one ad above the list, on its first page, for the highest total in that list.
  • Ad rows: groups of 5 ads between the ranked rows, 15 per list page, without replacing any ranked tool.

Every ad is marked AD and its outbound link carries rel="sponsored". Tool detail pages carry no ads. Ad payments are non-refundable, except that a payment is refunded in full if we reject the ad in review before it runs. Minimum payments, floors, review, removal and refunds are set out in the Ad Guidelines, which are part of these Terms.

6.2. Money paid for advertising does not count toward any ranking.

6.3. Ad placements are summarised on the Advertise page; the full rules are in the Ad Guidelines. Checkout and payment terms, when offered, will be handled by a Merchant of Record named there.

7. Eligible and prohibited listings

7.1. ToolFlock lists lawful digital software tools in the categories shown on the site — web apps, desktop apps, mobile apps, browser extensions, IDE plugins and CLIs. Hardware and physical devices are out of scope.

7.2. Categories we don't list. The categories and tools we list are the same ones we accept ads for. We do not list, and will remove, tools in any category our payment provider does not accept. These are set out in Ad Guidelines section 7. They include: adult content and AI companion or dating apps; gambling, games and virtual goods; crypto, investing, lending, banking and payroll services; health and wellness products; travel and bookings; religious, spiritual and astrology services; VPNs, hosting and other infrastructure; marketplaces and resale; and tools for cheating, evading detection, surveillance, spam or piracy. They also include anything illegal where it is offered.

8.1. Clicking a Listing in a list opens its ToolFlock page at /site/<slug>. The tool’s own site opens from the link on that page or the small site icon next to its name.

8.2. Ranked Listing links are not paid placements. Ad slot links are advertising and carry rel="sponsored". We do not sell, promise or imply any search-engine ranking or backlink value.

8.3. Links to listed tools include UTM parameters (utm_source=toolflock, utm_medium=referral, utm_campaign, utm_content) so owners can see ToolFlock traffic. Source and reference links do not. We do not guarantee visitors, clicks or sales.

9. Your listing content

9.1. Names, logos, one-liners, categories and links must be accurate, lawful and not misleading.

9.2. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to display that content on ToolFlock for as long as the Listing is shown and in archives.

10. Advertising disclosure

10.1. Rankings are editorial, based on the method described in Section 4. Ad slots are advertising and are marked AD.

11. Our intellectual property

11.1. The ToolFlock name, design, code and ranking pages belong to us. You may link to and share screenshots of ToolFlock pages. You may not copy the site, scrape it at a rate that harms the service, or present our rankings as your own.

12. Availability and changes

12.1. We may change categories, the ranking method (with a notice in these Terms) and placement formats. The service may be unavailable from time to time.

13. Disclaimers

13.1. ToolFlock is provided "as is". Rankings are not endorsements. Third-party public data may be incomplete or wrong. To the extent the law allows, we disclaim warranties of fitness and of any particular result.

14. Limitation of liability

14.1. To the extent the law allows, our total liability for any claim relating to ToolFlock is limited to US$50. We are not liable for indirect or consequential losses.

15. Disputes and governing law

15.1. These Terms are governed by the laws applicable where the operator of ToolFlock is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. This does not remove mandatory rights that apply to you.

15.2. Before bringing a dispute, please contact support@toolflock.com so we can try to resolve it informally. This does not limit urgent relief, legal deadlines or non-waivable rights. An unresolved dispute may be brought before a court with competent jurisdiction, subject to any mandatory right to use another forum.

16. Changes to these Terms

16.1. We may update these Terms to reflect changes to ToolFlock, our practices or the law. We will post the revised Terms and change the date at the top. For material changes we will make reasonable efforts to give notice on the site. Continued use after a change means you accept it.

17. Contact

Questions about these Terms, a Listing or an ad can be sent to support@toolflock.com. Do not send passwords or full payment details by email.
