Terms of Service

1. Who we are and acceptance

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of List Maro at listmaro.com (the “Service”), operated by [LEGAL ENTITY NAME] (“we”, “us”, or “our”). List Maro is a curated, human-reviewed directory of SaaS products.

By accessing or using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service. Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal data and forms part of your agreement with us.

2. Eligibility and accounts

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account or submit content. The Service is not directed at children.

Accounts are created only through Google sign-in. We do not offer email-and-password registration, and we do not store passwords. You are responsible for activity under your account and for keeping your Google account secure. You must provide accurate information and may not impersonate another person or entity.

3. Your submissions

You may submit listings (name, tagline, description, website URL, logo, screenshots), comments, votes, and ownership claims. By submitting content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, sublicensable licence to host, display, reproduce, adapt for formatting, and promote that content in connection with the Service.

You represent and warrant that you have the rights needed to submit the content, that it does not infringe third-party rights, and that it complies with these Terms and applicable law. You retain ownership of your content; the licence above is what lets us run a public directory.

4. Editorial control

Nothing auto-publishes. Every listing enters a moderation queue and becomes publicly visible only after a human review approves it. We may edit for clarity or formatting, reclassify, decline, hold, or remove any submission at our discretion, with or without notice.

We do not promise that any listing will be approved, ranked in a particular way, or receive any amount of traffic, impressions, or clicks. Placement and visibility can change as the directory and our ranking signals change.

5. Ranking and paid placement

Community upvotes from signed-in visitors influence ordering. Paid placement, when available, can buy additional visibility (for example a featured slot or priority review). Featured listings are always labelled. Votes are never for sale. How we make money is described in plain language in our Advertising Disclosure.

Outbound links on paid placements carry rel="sponsored". A paid plan cannot be issued a dofollow link; that rule is enforced in our data model, not only in application code. Editorial approvals may receive ordinary follow links.

6. Content standards and prohibited content

You must not submit content that, among other things:

• Is defamatory, obscene, pornographic, invasive of privacy, or harassing
• Incites violence, hatred, or discrimination on protected grounds
• Infringes copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property
• Is fraudulent, deceptive, or impersonates another person or brand
• Relates to child sexual abuse material or the sexual exploitation of minors
• Threatens the unity, integrity, defence, security, or sovereignty of India, or public order, or is otherwise unlawful under Indian law
• Contains malware, phishing, or instructions for serious criminal activity
• Violates any applicable law, including the Information Technology Act, 2000 and the Information Technology (Intermediary Guidelines and Digital Media Ethics Code) Rules, 2021

Comments are screened on submission. A match places the comment on hold so it is not publicly visible until a moderator rules. Held is the fail-closed default for that screening path. We may remove or refuse any content that violates these standards.

7. Ownership claims

You may claim ownership of a listing by providing a work email and an optional note. A matching email domain is evidence for a moderator; it is not automatic authorisation. Approval of a claim is discretionary and may be revoked if we later determine the claim was incorrect or abusive.

8. Prohibited conduct

You must not:

• Manipulate votes, rankings, or analytics (including sock-puppet accounts, coordinated voting, or automated voting)
• Scrape, bulk-export, or systematically harvest the directory except as allowed by ordinary browser use or a written permission from us
• Bypass rate limits, access controls, or security measures
• Use automated agents or bots to create accounts, submit content, or interact with the Service in a way that burdens infrastructure or distorts rankings
• Reverse-engineer the Service except where mandatory law allows
• Use the Service to send spam or unsolicited commercial messages

9. Third-party sites

Listings link to third-party websites and products. Those sites are not under our control. A listing is not an endorsement of the product, its safety, pricing, privacy practices, or fitness for any purpose. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.

10. Paid placements

When paid placements are offered, fees, duration, and deliverables will be stated at purchase. Fees are non-refundable once a paid placement is live, except where mandatory consumer law requires otherwise. If we remove a paid placement for our own editorial reasons (and not because you breached these Terms), we will provide a pro-rata refund for the unused period.

Payment processing details and billing terms will be provided when billing is enabled. Until then, no purchase flow is available on the Service.

11. Termination and suspension

We may suspend or terminate your access, remove content, or refuse future submissions if you breach these Terms, if required by law, or if we reasonably believe continued access would harm the Service or other users. You may stop using the Service at any time. Provisions that by their nature should survive (including licences already granted for published content, disclaimers, liability limits, and indemnity) survive termination.

12. Disclaimers, liability, and indemnity

The Service 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, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that listings are accurate or complete.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, data, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Service. Our aggregate liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to the greater of (a) the amounts you paid us for paid placements in the twelve months before the claim or (b) one thousand Indian rupees (₹1,000).

You will indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, damages, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use of the Service, or your breach of these Terms.

13. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. The “Last updated” date at the top of this page will change when we do. Material changes will be announced on the Service or by email where appropriate. Continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.

14. Governing law and disputes

These Terms are governed by the laws of India. Subject to mandatory law, courts at [CITY], India have exclusive jurisdiction over disputes arising from these Terms or the Service.
