Terms of Service

The rules for reading, commenting, submitting a tool, sending us an article, and buying a listing on Tech Vault AI. Written to be read, not to be skipped.

The short version

Four things people ask before they read the rest. The binding detail is in the numbered sections.

Can I republish your reviews?
No. Quote a couple of lines with a link back, but do not copy whole articles.
Can anyone pay for a good score?
No. Paid placement buys visibility in the directory, never a verdict or a rating.
Will you rewrite my guest post?
No. We either accept it broadly as written, or we decline it. No silent rewrites.
Can I get a refund?
Yes, until you approve it going live. After that it is final, but we fix mistakes free.
Contents

These Terms are a contract between you and Tech Vault AI. They cover everything on www.techvaultai.com — the reviews, the AI tools directory, the free tools, the comments, and anything you submit or buy.

01

Agreement to These Terms

By opening any page on this site, you accept these Terms. If you do not accept them, please stop using the site.

You must be at least 13 years old to use Tech Vault AI, or 16 where your local law sets that higher age. If you accept these Terms for a company, you confirm you are allowed to bind that company.

02

Who You Are Dealing With

Tech Vault AI is an independently owned publication founded and run by Asif Iqbal, operating from Bangladesh and serving readers worldwide. There is no parent company, no investor, and no vendor with editorial influence.

What We Provide

  • Editorial content — reviews, comparisons, and articles covering AI tools, SaaS products, gadgets, phones, and accessories
  • An AI tools directory — a browsable index of tools, open to free submissions and subject to our review
  • Business listings — free and paid listings for companies and products
  • Article and guest post submissions — with standard and premium options
  • Free web tools — a set of calculators, checkers, and generators that need no account
  • Comments — open on articles, with your name and email, no account required
  • A newsletter — optional, and you can leave at any time

Reading the site, using the free tools, commenting, and submitting a tool are all free. Only paid listings and paid submission options cost money, and those are always priced and confirmed before you pay.

04

Acceptable Use

You agree not to:

  • Scrape, crawl, or bulk-copy the site beyond what a normal reader or a search engine does
  • Use our content to train a machine learning model without our written permission
  • Post spam, malware, hidden links, or anything unlawful
  • Attempt to break, overload, or gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems
  • Impersonate another person, company, or Tech Vault AI itself
  • Bypass our rate limits, bot protection, or moderation

We use automated protection on our forms and endpoints. Trying to defeat it counts as a breach of these Terms.

05

Our Content and Copyright

All original text, scores, comparison tables, charts, graphics, and the site design belong to Tech Vault AI or to the authors who wrote them. Nothing here transfers ownership to you.

What you may do: read, share links, and quote a short passage — a sentence or two — as long as you name Tech Vault AI and link to the original page.

What you may not do: republish full articles, translate and repost them, spin or paraphrase them into new articles, or feed them into a model or dataset, without written permission.

Product names, logos, and screenshots belong to the companies that own them, and appear here for identification and commentary only.

06

Comments

You can comment with just a name and an email address. Your email is never published.

Disagreeing with a review is welcome — that is the point of an open comment section. What gets removed without notice: abuse, harassment, hate speech, personal attacks, promotional spam, link dropping, and anything unlawful.

Comments are yours, and you stay responsible for them. By posting, you give us permission to display the comment on the page it belongs to, and you confirm it is your own words.

07

Articles and Guest Posts

How we handle your work

We read every submission in full before deciding. If it meets our standards and Google's content guidelines, we publish it broadly as you wrote it. If it does not, we decline it. We do not rewrite accepted work or change its argument behind your back.

You keep your copyright

The article stays yours. By submitting it, you grant Tech Vault AI a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to publish it on this site, to display it in listings and search results, and to keep it online for as long as we choose. You get a byline credit on the published piece.

What you promise us
  • The work is entirely your own and has not been published anywhere else
  • It does not copy, spin, or paraphrase someone else's article
  • Every image you supply is one you have the right to use
  • Any commercial relationship behind a link or a recommendation is disclosed to us up front
  • Nothing in it is defamatory, misleading, or unlawful

If a copyright or plagiarism claim is later made about your submission, responsibility for it sits with you, not with Tech Vault AI.

Small print that protects both sides
  • We may fix obvious typos, formatting, and broken links without asking
  • If a substantive edit is ever needed, we will ask you before making it
  • We may unpublish any submission at any time, including if a legal problem, a factual error, or a policy breach comes to light
  • Submitting does not guarantee publication, and we are not obliged to explain a rejection
  • Once published, a piece stays published; we do not remove articles on request except where the law requires it
08

Directory and Tool Submissions

Anyone can submit a tool to the directory free of charge. Every submission is reviewed by a person before it appears, and we may decline one without giving a reason.

By submitting, you confirm you represent the tool or have permission to list it, that the information is accurate, and that you have the right to supply the logo or screenshot you upload.

We may edit a listing's description for length, clarity, or accuracy, and we may remove a listing if the tool shuts down, changes materially, breaks its own promises, or turns out to be misrepresented.

10

Payments and Refunds

We accept payment through several methods, agreed with you at the time of ordering. Payments are handled by the relevant payment provider or bank; we do not store your card or account details on this site.

Refund available
You have paid, seen the prepared listing, and decided not to go ahead. Nothing is live yet, so we refund you in full.
No refund
You approved the listing and it went live. The work is delivered at that point, so the payment is final.

In short: the deciding moment is your approval. Before it, you can change your mind and get your money back. After it, the listing is delivered and the payment is final — but corrections stay free for life, as set out above.

Refunds are returned by the same method you paid with, within a reasonable time. Any transfer or currency fee charged by a bank or payment provider is not something we control or reimburse. Nothing here removes any refund right you may have under the consumer law of your own country.

11

Free Tools

Our free tools are provided as they are, with no account and no charge. They are meant to be useful starting points, not authoritative verdicts.

  • Results are estimates. Audit scores, checker outputs, and calculator figures are guidance, not guarantees
  • Nothing they produce is professional, financial, legal, or technical advice
  • Only enter a URL you own or are authorised to check
  • We may change, limit, or retire any tool at any time, and we do not promise they will always be available

Decisions you make based on a tool's output are your own.

12

Reviews, Ratings and Affiliate Links

Our reviews and scores are opinions, formed at a point in time. Software changes constantly — prices move, features ship, plans get renamed. A review reflects what we found when we wrote it, and may be out of date by the time you read it. Always check the vendor's own site before buying.

Some links on this site are affiliate links. If you buy through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Commission does not influence what a review concludes.

Nothing on Tech Vault AI is professional advice. We are not responsible for what a third-party product does, how it is priced, or whether it delivers what it claims. Your contract for any product you buy is with the seller, not with us.

13

Third-Party Sites and Services

This site links to many external websites and relies on third-party infrastructure for hosting, storage, images, analytics, and bot protection.

We do not control those sites or services, and we are not responsible for their content, their availability, or how they handle your data. Once you follow a link away from Tech Vault AI, that site's own terms and privacy policy apply.

14

No Warranty

Tech Vault AI is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We work hard to keep it accurate and online, but we do not promise that it will be free of errors, always available, or fit for any particular purpose of yours.

To the fullest extent the law allows, we exclude all implied warranties. Where your local law gives you rights that cannot be excluded, those rights still apply and nothing here limits them.

15

Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Tech Vault AI is not liable for indirect or consequential loss, lost profits, lost revenue, lost data, or lost business arising from your use of this site, its content, or its tools.

Where we are found liable despite the above, our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim, or fifty US dollars if you paid us nothing.

Nothing in these Terms excludes liability for fraud, or for anything that cannot lawfully be excluded in your jurisdiction.

16

Indemnity

If something you submit to us — an article, a listing, a comment, or an image — leads to a claim against Tech Vault AI, you agree to cover the reasonable costs and damages that result, provided the claim arises from your breach of these Terms or of someone else's rights.

18

Privacy

How we handle your data is set out in full in our Privacy Policy, which forms part of these Terms. It covers what we collect, how long we keep it, who processes it, and the rights you have over it.

19

Suspension and Removal

We may block access, remove a comment, reject a submission, or take down a listing where these Terms are breached, where the law requires it, or where content is misleading or harmful. Where money has changed hands, the refund position in section 10 applies.

20

Changes to These Terms

We update these Terms as the site changes. The date at the top always shows the latest revision, and continuing to use the site after an update means you accept it.

If you have already bought a paid listing, the Terms in force on the day you paid govern that purchase. A later change does not apply retroactively to work already delivered.

21

Governing Law

Tech Vault AI is operated from Bangladesh. These Terms are governed by the laws of Bangladesh, and the courts of Bangladesh have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them.

If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of your own country, or your right to bring proceedings there where local law gives you that right.

If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in force. Before starting formal proceedings, please write to us — most disputes are settled faster by email than by lawyers.
