Terms of Use and Listing Terms

Last updated: November 10, 2026

These terms apply to everyone who uses toolniverse.org (the “Site”), in any language, and to anyone who submits a tool or buys a paid listing. By using the Site you agree to them.

1. Using the Site

The Site is free to use for personal and business research. Our descriptions, ratings, guides and comparisons are editorial opinions based on information available when each page was last checked. Tools change their features and prices often, so always confirm the details on the tool’s own website before you buy or rely on it. We aren’t responsible for third-party tools or websites we link to.

You may quote short parts of our content with a link back to the page. You may not copy the directory in bulk or scrape it to build a competing service.

2. Submitting a tool

Anyone can submit a tool for free. We list tools that are publicly available, working and useful, and we decide what to publish and how to describe it. Submitting, or paying, doesn’t buy a positive review: we keep our editorial descriptions, including limits and downsides, independent. We may update or remove a listing if a tool changes, stops working, or breaks these terms.

You confirm that you have the right to submit the tool and that the information you give is accurate. We don’t list tools that are illegal, deceptive, built to harm people, or that host sexual content involving minors.

3. Paid listings

Current packages and prices (in US dollars) are shown on our advertise page: Fast-track ($49, one time), Featured ($99 for one month, with 3- and 6-month options) and the Launch package ($249, one time). Prices are shown before you pay and don’t change for an order you have already placed.

Payment first. Work starts once payment is confirmed. You can pay by PayPal or card, USDT where shown, or by an invoice we email you.
No subscriptions. Featured placements are prepaid for a fixed period and never renew automatically. We email you before the period ends in case you want to extend.
Start dates. Featured and Launch periods start on the day the placement goes live, which we confirm by email.
Sponsored links. Paid placements are labelled and use links marked as sponsored, as search engines require.
Fast-track means a decision and, if accepted, publication within 48 hours of confirmed payment, not counting time we spend waiting for information we asked you for.

4. Money-back guarantee

If your tool isn’t accepted, you get a full refund.
If a Fast-track listing isn’t live within 48 hours, you get a full refund.
Featured or Launch: if you’re not happy, ask within 7 days of the start date for a full refund, and the placement ends.
Refunds go back the way you paid within 5 working days. Crypto is returned in the same coin and network.

We may end a paid placement early and refund the unused part if a tool stops working, changes into something we wouldn’t list, or breaks these terms. If a placement ends because the tool was deceptive or harmful, no refund is due.

5. Liability

The Site is provided “as is”. As far as the law allows, we aren’t liable for indirect losses, and our total liability for any paid listing is limited to the amount you paid for it. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.

6. Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top shows the latest version, and changes don’t affect orders already paid. Questions? Email hello@toolniverse.org or use our contact page. See also our Privacy Policy.
