Welcome to SmartVault. These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) set out the rules for using our website and the content and features we provide. They form an agreement between you and SmartVault. Please read them carefully — they include important information about your rights and our responsibilities.
This document is provided for general information and does not constitute legal advice. If anything here is unclear, contact us before relying on it.
Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using SmartVault you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the site. If you are using SmartVault on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
Use of the site
SmartVault grants you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and use the site for your own lawful, non-commercial information purposes. When using the site you agree that you will not:
- use the site in any way that breaches applicable laws or regulations;
- attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems, networks, or data;
- copy, scrape, or systematically extract substantial parts of our content without permission;
- introduce malware, attempt to disrupt the service, or place an unreasonable load on our infrastructure; or
- misrepresent your identity or impersonate SmartVault or any other person.
We may suspend or restrict access to anyone who misuses the site or breaches these Terms.
Intellectual property
The SmartVault name, logo, written reviews, editorial rankings, design, layout, and original content are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may view and share links to our content for personal use and may quote short excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original page. You may not reproduce, republish, or commercially exploit our content without our prior written consent.
Product names, logos, and trademarks belonging to the tools we cover remain the property of their respective owners and are used only for identification and editorial commentary.
Third-party links and tools
SmartVault is a directory and review publication, so the site contains many links to third-party websites, products, and tools, some of which are affiliate links. We provide these links for your convenience and to support our editorial work. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, pricing, availability, terms, or practices of any third party. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and that party, and you should review their own terms and policies before relying on them. Please see our Affiliate Disclosure for details on how affiliate partnerships work.
Editorial content and accuracy
We work hard to keep our reviews, ratings, and tool information accurate and up to date, but the AI software landscape moves quickly. Features, pricing, and availability can change at any time without notice. Our content reflects our opinions and research at the time of writing and should be treated as a starting point for your own evaluation, not as a definitive statement of fact. See our Disclaimer for more.
Disclaimer of warranties
The site and all content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components.
Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, SmartVault and its team will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, or goodwill, arising out of or in connection with your use of (or inability to use) the site or your reliance on any content or third-party tool. Nothing in these Terms limits any liability that cannot be limited under applicable law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless SmartVault and its team from any claims, losses, or expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the site or your breach of these Terms.
Changes to the site and these terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time. When we make material changes we will revise the “Last updated” date above. Your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the updated Terms.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws applicable to where SmartVault operates, without regard to conflict of law principles. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent courts in that location, to the extent permitted by law.
