Terms of Service

Shelf is a curated directory of software tools, design resources and digital products. We describe and link to products made by other companies; we don’t sell them, and we are not affiliated with them unless we say so.

• You may browse without an account. An account lets you save tools and submit tools linked to your profile.
• Give an email address you control, and keep your password private. You are responsible for activity under your account.
• You must be at least 16 years old to create an account.
• You can ask us to delete your account at any time by emailing legal@shelftools.org.

When using Shelf, you agree not to:

• break the law, or infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy or other rights;
• submit false, misleading, spam or malicious content, including links to malware or phishing pages;
• copy or scrape the directory in bulk, or republish it as a competing database, without our written permission;
• probe, disrupt or overload the site, or try to get around security or access controls;
• impersonate anyone or misrepresent your connection to a tool or company.

When you submit a tool, you confirm that the information is accurate and that you have the right to share it, including any text, logos or images. You give Shelf a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, edit, adapt and publish that submission as part of the directory and to promote Shelf.

We review every submission by hand and decide what to publish. We may edit copy for consistency, decline a submission, or remove a listing at any time, without having to explain why. Submitting a tool does not guarantee a listing, a placement or a featured spot.

The Shelf name and logo, the site design, and the way the directory is selected, organised and written belong to Shelf. You may link to Shelf and share individual pages; please don’t copy substantial parts of the directory.

Product names, logos and screenshots of listed tools belong to their owners and are shown only to identify those products. Their appearance on Shelf does not mean the owners endorse Shelf.

If you own a listed product and want a correction or removal, or if you believe content on Shelf infringes your copyright or trademark, email legal@shelftools.org with the page address, what you want changed, and how you are connected to the product or rights. We aim to respond within a few working days.

Shelf links to websites we don’t control. We are not responsible for their content, pricing, availability, privacy practices or terms. Using a listed tool is between you and its provider. See the Disclaimer for more.

Shelf is provided “as is” and “as available”. We work to keep listings accurate and the site running, but to the extent the law allows, we make no promises that information is complete, current or error-free, or that the site will be uninterrupted or free of bugs.

To the extent the law allows, Shelf is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for loss of data, profits or business, arising from your use of Shelf or of any tool listed on it. Shelf is a free service, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to 100 Moroccan dirhams. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for fraud or gross negligence.

We may suspend or close an account, or remove content, if these terms are broken or to protect Shelf and its users. You can stop using Shelf at any time. Sections 4, 5, 8, 9 and 12 continue to apply after your use ends.

We may update these terms. We will change the “last updated” date above, and tell account holders about significant changes. Continuing to use Shelf after a change means you accept the updated terms.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Kingdom of Morocco. Any dispute that can’t be settled amicably goes to the competent courts of Morocco, without depriving consumers of protection given by the mandatory laws of the country where they live.
