Terms

db.fyi is operated by Some Tech Work UG (haftungsbeschränkt), Hans-Böckler-Str. 76, 65199 Wiesbaden, Germany ("we"). Part A applies to everyone who uses db.fyi. Part B applies when a business buys a paid service from us. Our details are in the Imprint.

Part A: Using db.fyi

1. The catalog

db.fyi is a free catalog of AI tools, models, agents and MCP servers. We collect facts from public sources, our own checks and the vendors. We work to keep them correct and show where they come from, but prices, features and availability change. The catalog is general information, not legal, financial or purchasing advice. Check the vendor's own site before you buy or rely on a tool.

2. Links and affiliate links

We link to sites we do not operate; their own terms apply there. Some links are affiliate links that may earn us a commission. See the Affiliate Disclosure.

3. API, MCP server and data

You may use our public API, MCP server, feeds and embeds within their published rate limits, and quote catalog data with a link to the db.fyi page it comes from. Do not scrape the site in a way that harms its availability, and do not republish the catalog as a whole or as a substantial part of it without our written permission. Text, design and logos of db.fyi belong to us or our licensors; vendor names and logos belong to their owners.

4. Acceptable use

Do not attack or probe the site, send spam or malware through our forms, or submit content that is unlawful, misleading or infringes others' rights. We may block access or remove content where we reasonably believe these rules are broken.

Part B: Paid services for businesses

5. Who can buy

Paid listings, launches, launch packages, sponsorships and deals ("paid services") are offered only to businesses, freelancers and other entrepreneurs acting in their trade or profession (§ 14 BGB), not to consumers. By buying, you confirm that you buy as a business. The plan pages (Submit, Launch, Sponsor) describe what each service includes; that description and these terms form the contract. Your own terms do not apply unless we agree in writing.

6. Order and review

You order through the form on the plan page and pay through the linked checkout. The contract is concluded when we confirm your order by email. We review every submission before it goes live. We accept tools that work, have a public website and say clearly what they cost, and we may decline a submission, deal or sponsorship that does not meet our standards. If we decline, we refund the full amount.

7. Editorial independence

Paying buys visibility and speed, not opinion. A paid service never changes the facts on a tool page, removes criticism, hides a discontinued status or changes how search and comparisons rank tools. Paid placements are labelled, and paid links carry rel="sponsored". We do not promise any amount of traffic, clicks or sales.

8. Prices, payment and invoices

Prices are shown in US dollars on the plan pages and are due in advance. Payment is processed by Stripe or PayPal. You receive an invoice from Some Tech Work UG (haftungsbeschränkt). VAT is charged as it applies; for business customers in other EU countries with a valid VAT ID the reverse-charge rule applies. Add your company name and VAT ID at checkout or send them to us.

9. Your content and deals

You are responsible for the content you submit (names, descriptions, logos, screenshots, links, deal terms) and confirm you have the rights to it. You give us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish, adapt in format and show that content on db.fyi and in our feeds, API, MCP server and newsletter for as long as the listing exists. We may edit submitted text for accuracy, length and style. For deals, you must honour the offer to db.fyi readers as published until it expires; if the terms change, tell us before they do. Any affiliate program you name is governed by its own terms between you and us.

10. Term and cancellation

Time-limited placements (for example home page or featured days) end automatically after the period bought. A basic listing stays in the catalog unless you ask us to remove it or the tool stops working. Already delivered parts of a service are not refunded, except where we decline your submission or cannot deliver what you bought. Either side may terminate for good cause (§ 314 BGB).

General

11. Liability

We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, under the Product Liability Act and where we have given a guarantee. For slight negligence we are liable only for breach of an essential contractual obligation (one whose fulfilment makes the contract possible and on which you may rely), limited to the damage typical and foreseeable when the contract was made. Otherwise our liability is excluded. The free parts of db.fyi are provided as they are; we do not guarantee that they are complete, correct or always available.

12. Law and place of jurisdiction

German law applies, excluding the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. For merchants, legal entities under public law and customers without a general place of jurisdiction in Germany, the place of jurisdiction is Wiesbaden, Germany. If one clause is invalid, the rest remain in force.

13. Changes and contact

We may update these terms for the future; the date above changes when we do. Orders already placed stay under the terms that applied when you ordered. Questions: admin [at] sometech [dot] work or the contact page. Privacy: see the Privacy Policy.
