Terms of Service

1. The Service

SaaStore operates an online directory of third-party software applications and SaaS products ("Listings") submitted by their respective vendors ("Vendors"). Visitors and registered users ("Users") may browse Listings and, where a Vendor makes such an option available, subscribe to or purchase access to the Vendor's software on the Vendor's own site, following a link from the Service.

All Listings on the Service are "Directory Listings": Listings that link to software hosted and operated by the Vendor at a URL outside SaaStore's infrastructure. SaaStore acts solely as an independent directory and is not involved in the hosting, delivery, operation, security, data handling, or transaction processing of any software appearing on the Service. The commercial and technical relationship for every Listing is strictly between the User and the Vendor, and takes place on the Vendor's own site (or with the payment provider chosen by the Vendor) under their terms.

If SaaStore in the future offers hosting, payment, or subscription-management features ("Managed Listings"), those features will be governed by a separate terms addendum, will require prior notice in accordance with Section 10 (Changes to the Terms), and will not apply to any Vendor or User without their explicit acceptance of that addendum.

2. Accounts & Eligibility

You must be at least 16 years of age (or the age of digital consent in your jurisdiction) to create an account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You agree to provide accurate contact information and to keep it current. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account we reasonably believe to be used in violation of these Terms or applicable law.

3. Vendor Content & Responsibilities

Vendors are solely responsible for the content of their Listings, including but not limited to titles, descriptions, screenshots, logos, pricing information, support information, external URLs, and any other materials submitted to the Service (collectively, "Vendor Content"). By submitting Vendor Content, each Vendor represents and warrants that it (a) owns or has secured all rights, licenses, and permissions necessary to make the submission and to grant SaaStore the rights set forth in these Terms; (b) does not infringe the intellectual property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of any third party; (c) complies with all applicable laws, including those relating to consumer protection, data protection, export control, and anti-spam; and (d) does not contain malware, phishing logic, unlawful content, or functionality intended to harm Users or third parties.

License to SaaStore. Each Vendor grants SaaStore a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, display, publicly perform, distribute, and create thumbnails, previews, and cached copies of the Vendor Content, solely to the extent necessary to operate, promote, and provide the Service. This license terminates when the Vendor Content is removed from the Service, except that SaaStore may retain residual copies for the period reasonably necessary for backup, audit, legal, or regulatory purposes.

Directory Listings - URL ownership. For any Directory Listing, the Vendor further represents and warrants that the destination URL is operated by the Vendor itself (or by a person or entity that has authorized the Vendor to list it on the Vendor's behalf), that the Vendor has the right to direct SaaStore Users to that URL, and that the destination is not a phishing site, a typosquat of a third-party service, or otherwise misleading as to its provenance.

Ownership warranty. By submitting a Listing you represent and warrant that you own the software product it describes, or that you are expressly authorized by its owner to list, market, and (where applicable) sell it. You further warrant that the contact details, domain, and materials you provide belong to that product and that completing SaaStore's verification step (email code or live verification call) is done by you or on your authority.

Indemnification. You will indemnify and hold harmless SaaStore, its operators, and its officers from any claim, demand, damage, or expense (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising from a breach of the above warranty, including claims by the true owner of a product you listed without authority.

Removal. SaaStore may suspend or remove any Listing upon a credible ownership claim, and may re-assign a Listing to the party that demonstrates control of the product per our verification process.

4. Intellectual Property

The SaaStore name, logo, and the original elements of the Service are the property of SaaStore and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Third-party logos and brand names that appear in Listings remain the property of their respective owners. Such materials are uploaded by Vendors under the Vendor's own responsibility and pursuant to the Vendor's representations under Section 3. Their display on SaaStore does not imply affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement between SaaStore and any such third party.

If you believe any material on the Service infringes your intellectual-property rights, please follow the process in Section 4A below.

4A. Copyright & IP Takedown Notices

SaaStore respects the intellectual-property rights of others. We respond to clear and complete notices that allege infringement of copyright or other intellectual-property rights in material that appears on the Service. This Section is intended to comply with the notice-and-takedown framework of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and with comparable provisions of Israeli and EU intellectual-property law.

How to submit a notice. Send a written notice to info@saastore.ai with the subject line "IP Takedown Notice". To be actionable, your notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the rights-holder or someone authorised to act on their behalf.
• A clear identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual-property right that you claim has been infringed (for example, a registration number, a URL of the original work, or a description sufficient to identify it).
• A clear identification of the material on SaaStore that you claim is infringing - including the specific Listing URL or page URL - so we can locate it.
• Your contact information: full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorised by the rights-holder, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury (or its equivalent under your local law), that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the rights-holder or are authorised to act on their behalf.

What happens next. We will acknowledge receipt within five (5) business days, evaluate the notice, and where it is well-founded remove or disable access to the identified material. We will notify the Vendor of the Listing that their material has been removed and provide them with a copy of the notice (with your contact details redacted on request).

Counter-notice. If you are a Vendor whose material has been removed and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to the same address. To be actionable, your counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel (or, where applicable, the federal district court in which your address is located in the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice.

On receipt of a complete counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not initiate legal action within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter-notice, we may restore the material at our discretion.

Repeat infringers. SaaStore will, in appropriate circumstances and at its sole discretion, suspend or terminate the accounts of Users or Vendors who are repeat infringers of the intellectual-property rights of others.

Misuse. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may expose you to liability for damages, including attorneys' fees, under applicable law.

5. Purchases, Subscriptions & Affiliate Disclosure

Purchases and subscriptions. SaaStore does not collect payment from Users, does not process payments, and is not a party to any transaction between a User and a Vendor. If a User chooses to transact with a Vendor by following a link from the Service, that transaction takes place on the Vendor's own site or through the payment provider chosen by the Vendor (including a third-party Merchant of Record), under their terms. SaaStore has no involvement in, and no responsibility for, delivery, support, refunds, chargebacks, data handling, or dispute resolution in respect of any such transaction.

SaaStore-Hosted Waitlist. SaaStore offers Vendors the option to join a waitlist to be notified when SaaStore-hosted Managed Listings become generally available (the "Hosted Waitlist"). Joining the Hosted Waitlist is free and creates no obligation: the Vendor is not committing to publish a Managed Listing, to pay any fee, or to take any other action. SaaStore intends to make SaaStore-hosted Managed Listings available at no cost to early Vendors who join the Hosted Waitlist for an initial introductory period to be determined by SaaStore at its discretion. SaaStore expressly reserves the right to (i) introduce, modify, or remove pricing for SaaStore-hosted Managed Listings at any time after the introductory period; (ii) cap, limit, or close the Hosted Waitlist; and (iii) require the Vendor's explicit acceptance of updated Terms (including a separate Hosted-Listing Addendum) before the Vendor may continue using SaaStore-hosted features after a pricing or material-terms change. Notice of any such change will be provided in accordance with Section 10 (Changes to the Terms). A Vendor may opt out of the Hosted Waitlist at any time from the upload wizard, the Edit Project page, or the MyStore dashboard, in which case SaaStore will cease to send waitlist-related notifications to that Vendor.

Affiliate disclosure. SaaStore participates in affiliate and referral programs and may earn a commission or other compensation when a User follows a link from the Service and subsequently purchases a product or service from a Vendor or a partner, including where the commission is derived from the service fee charged to the Vendor by the Vendor's payment provider. Such arrangements do not change the price paid by the User.

Paid promotion services. Vendors may purchase paid promotion and advertising services from SaaStore. Those services are governed by the separate Promotion Services Terms published on the Service, and a Listing or content promoted for payment will be labeled as such where required by law.

6. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE AND ALL LISTINGS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE", WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, SECURITY, AND UNINTERRUPTED OPERATION. SAASTORE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE QUALITY, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, COMPLIANCE, OR SECURITY OF ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE DESCRIBED IN A LISTING, AND EACH USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR EVALUATING ANY SUCH SOFTWARE BEFORE USING IT.

6A. Checks, Badges, Reviews & User Content

Checks and badges. SaaStore may perform point-in-time checks of Listings and of the Vendors behind them - such as verifying the Vendor's identity and contact details, automated scanning of the destination site, usability review, audience-fit review, and availability checks - and may display badges or indicators reflecting their results. Certain checks may be performed by third parties on SaaStore's behalf or using their tools, and the checking party's name may appear on the badge; the provisions of this section apply equally to such checks and badges. A badge reflects only the check that was performed and the date on which it was performed. A badge is not a warranty, guarantee, endorsement, or representation as to the quality or security of the software, the reliability of the Vendor, or their compliance with any law or standard (including SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR, or accessibility law), and it does not assure that the Listing or the destination site has not changed since the check. SaaStore may grant, update, or remove a badge at any time at its discretion, and the absence of a badge is not a negative determination about a Listing.

Reviews and ratings. The Service may allow Users to post reviews, ratings, and related content ("User Content"). By posting User Content you grant SaaStore a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display, reproduce, distribute, and excerpt it within the Service. A review must reflect its author's genuine experience with the relevant software. Posting fabricated, misleading, or false reviews is strictly prohibited. A review written following a solicitation, incentive, or consideration, or by a person with an interest in the Listing, is permitted only if that fact is clearly disclosed alongside the review. SaaStore may moderate, remove, or decline to publish User Content at its discretion and does not warrant that an aggregate rating reflects all submitted reviews.

Acceptable use. In using the Service you may not: (a) upload or distribute unlawful, infringing, or harmful content; (b) disrupt the Service, circumvent security measures, or conduct penetration testing without written consent; (c) scrape or automatically harvest Service content without written consent; (d) impersonate any person or entity - including holding yourself out as SaaStore, its representative, or anyone acting on its behalf - or provide false information.

7. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, SAASTORE, ITS AFFILIATES, AND THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH (i) YOUR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SERVICE; (ii) ANY DEFECT, SECURITY VULNERABILITY, DATA LOSS, OR OTHER HARM ATTRIBUTABLE TO ANY THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE DESCRIBED IN A LISTING; (iii) ANY INTERACTION OR TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND A VENDOR; OR (iv) ANY UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO OR ALTERATION OF YOUR DATA, WHETHER BASED ON WARRANTY, CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT SAASTORE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

IN ANY EVENT, SAASTORE'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (a) THE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY PAID BY YOU TO SAASTORE IN THE TWELVE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (b) ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100.00).

8. Indemnification

By Vendors. Each Vendor shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SaaStore, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or in connection with (i) any Vendor Content, including any claim that such content infringes or misappropriates the intellectual-property, privacy, publicity, or other rights of a third party; (ii) any breach by the Vendor of its representations, warranties, or obligations under these Terms; (iii) the Vendor's software itself, including any security incident, data loss, data leak, fraud, misrepresentation, or harm suffered by any User or third party arising from the use of that software or from the Vendor's conduct; or (iv) the Vendor's violation of any applicable law.

By Users. Each User shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless SaaStore, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any third-party claim arising out of the User's violation of these Terms or of applicable law in connection with the Service.

SaaStore shall provide the indemnifying party with prompt written notice of any claim subject to indemnification, sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim (provided that any settlement that imposes non-monetary obligations on SaaStore requires SaaStore's prior written consent), and reasonable cooperation in the defense at the indemnifying party's expense.

9. Suspension, Termination & Dormancy

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to the Service or to any Listing at any time, with or without notice, if we reasonably determine that you have breached these Terms or that continued access presents a risk to SaaStore, other Users, or third parties.

Dormancy. A Listing may be removed, unlisted, or archived if it becomes dormant or abandoned - for example, if the Vendor's account becomes unreachable at the contact information on file, if a Directory Listing's destination URL becomes unreachable, returns persistent errors, or is repointed to content that does not match the original Listing. We may attempt to notify the Vendor at the contact address on file before removal but are not obligated to do so if the Listing presents an immediate risk to Users.

Sections 3 through 8 and Sections 10 through 13 shall survive any termination of these Terms.

10. Changes to the Terms

We may modify these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date above. For material changes - including but not limited to changes to the limitation of liability, indemnification, or payment terms - we will provide no fewer than thirty (30) days' prior notice through the Service or by email to registered account holders before the change takes effect. For non-material changes (such as drafting corrections, updates to contact details, or clarifications that do not affect the substantive rights and obligations of the parties) the change is effective upon publication of the updated Terms. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of a modification constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms.

11. Governing Law & Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. The competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel shall have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service, subject to the mandatory consumer-protection law of the User's country of residence where applicable.

12. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with any policies referenced herein (including our Privacy Policy), constitute the entire agreement between you and SaaStore regarding the Service. If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision shall not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent; we may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets.

Language. These Terms are published in Hebrew and in English. In the event of any conflict or inconsistency between the versions, the Hebrew version prevails.
