Terms of use

The operating terms for catalogue browsing and contribution.

Review notice. Project policy copy for transparency; it requires qualified legal review and is not legal advice. Version 2026-09-02.

Catalogue information

Information is provided for discovery and evaluation, not as legal, security, licensing, procurement, or investment advice. Repository and commercial facts are snapshots and may become stale. Verify important claims with the linked primary source.

Contributions

Submit only material you are authorized to provide. Contributions are moderated, may be edited or rejected, and do not create a right to publication. Verified maintainer status proves only the reviewed scope and never grants direct publication control.

Corrections

For an ordinary factual error, use the Report a correction link on the affected Project page. Include the field, proposed correction, and a public primary-source URL where possible. Reports enter the moderation queue; publication is never automatic.

For a legal, security, impersonation, or otherwise sensitive report, contact legal@opensourcealternatives.fyi. If the affected item has no Project page, use that email and include the exact OpenAlternative URL. See the editorial methodology for how factual changes are reviewed.

Copyright and takedown requests

Send copyright or DMCA-style takedown requests to legal@opensourcealternatives.fyi. Identify yourself and the rights holder, describe the copyrighted work, provide the exact allegedly infringing OpenAlternative URL, explain your good-faith basis, state that the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act, and include an electronic or physical signature.

We may request clarification, preserve the request in restricted audit records, remove or restrict material where appropriate, and accept a counter-notice for counsel review. This project copy does not claim that OpenAlternative or this contact process has any particular statutory service-provider status.

Trademarks

Product names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners. Their use is intended only to identify and compare products; it does not imply endorsement. Report confusing affiliation, impersonation, or improper use to legal@opensourcealternatives.fyi with the exact page URL and supporting details.

Acceptable use

Do not abuse endpoints, evade rate limits, submit malicious links, impersonate others, interfere with availability, or attempt unauthorized access. Automated use must respect published limits and applicable law.

Commercial disclosures

Sponsored placements and affiliate deals, when enabled, are labeled and projected separately from organic order. Payments never purchase organic ranking.
