Terms of Service
Last updated: April 6, 2026
Welcome to Product Lookout. These Terms are a contract between you and Product Lookout (“we,” “us”) and govern your use of our website, newsletter, and related services (together, the “Service”). By using the Service, you agree to these Terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the Service.
We've tried to keep this readable. Where we use legal-sounding language, it's usually because we have to.
1. Who can use the Service
You must be at least 16 years old to use Product Lookout. By using the Service, you confirm you meet this requirement and that you're legally able to enter into this agreement.
2. Your account
You can browse most of Product Lookout without an account. To subscribe to the newsletter or access account-only features, you'll need to sign up with an email and password.
You're responsible for:
- Keeping your login credentials secure
- Everything that happens under your account
- Providing accurate information when you sign up
You can delete your account at any time from your account settings. See Section 9 for what happens when an account ends.
3. What Product Lookout does (and doesn't do)
Product Lookout curates information about AI products, projects, and startups from publicly available sources. We aggregate signals, organize them, and present them so you can discover interesting products without wading through the noise.
We don't endorse, vet, or vouch for any product listed. Being featured on Product Lookout isn't a recommendation, a certification, or a claim that a product works as advertised. We're a discovery tool, not a review site or a buying guide.
About the Traction Score: Some listings include a “traction score” calculated from publicly available signals. This score is informational only. It's not an opinion, endorsement, rating, or prediction of quality, safety, performance, or commercial success. Don't treat it as investment advice, due diligence, or a substitute for your own research.
If you do business with a product you discovered through Product Lookout, that's between you and them. We're not a party to that relationship and aren't responsible for how it goes.
4. Claimed listings and submitted content
If you're the owner of a product listed on Product Lookout, you may be able to claim the listing and submit edits. By submitting content (including edits, descriptions, links, images, or any other material), you represent and warrant that:
- You have the right to submit it and to grant us the license below
- The content is accurate and not misleading
- It doesn't infringe anyone's intellectual property, privacy, or other rights
- It doesn't violate any law or these Terms
You retain ownership of what you submit. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use, display, reproduce, modify, and distribute your submitted content as part of operating and promoting the Service.
We review submissions before publishing them and may reject, edit, or remove any submission at our discretion, for any reason or no reason.
5. Acceptable use
Don't do any of the following:
- Use the Service for anything illegal
- Scrape, crawl, or harvest data from the Service except as expressly permitted
- Attempt to reverse engineer, disrupt, or interfere with the Service or its security
- Use bots, scripts, or automated means to access the Service (except well-behaved search engine crawlers)
- Impersonate anyone, including claiming to represent a product you don't own
- Upload malware or malicious code
- Harass, threaten, or harm other users
- Submit false, misleading, or deceptive information
- Use the Service to compete with us or build a competing product
We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these rules (see Section 9).
6. Intellectual property
The Service itself — including the site, design, logo, name, code, original copy, taxonomy, and traction scoring methodology — belongs to us and is protected by intellectual property laws. You may not copy, reproduce, or create derivative works from any of it without our permission.
Product names, logos, and descriptions of third-party products belong to their respective owners and are used for identification and discovery purposes.
7. Copyright complaints (DMCA)
We respect intellectual property rights. If you believe something on Product Lookout infringes your copyright, send a notice to help [at] productlookout.io that includes:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed
- Identification of the material you want removed, with enough detail for us to find it (e.g., a URL)
- Your contact information (address, phone, email)
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use isn't authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf
We'll respond to valid notices by removing or disabling access to the material and may terminate accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe your content was removed by mistake, you can send a counter-notice with equivalent information.
8. Third-party links and services
The Service links to third-party websites, products, and services. We don't control them and aren't responsible for their content, privacy practices, or anything else about them. Visiting a third-party site is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies.
9. Termination
You can leave anytime. Delete your account from your account settings, or email us.
We can terminate or suspend your access at our discretion if we believe you've violated these Terms, created legal risk for us or other users, or if we stop offering the Service. We'll try to give notice where reasonable, but we're not required to.
When your account ends, your right to use the Service stops immediately. Sections that by their nature should survive termination (intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, governing law, and this section) will survive.
10. Disclaimers
The Service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We don't warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, accurate, complete, or fit for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent allowed by law, we disclaim all implied warranties, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.
We don't guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or timeliness of any information about products featured on the Service, including traction scores. Use the information at your own risk and do your own due diligence before making decisions based on it.
11. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent allowed by law, our total liability to you for any claim arising out of or relating to the Service or these Terms is limited to fifty US dollars ($50).
We won't be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including lost profits, lost data, lost goodwill, business interruption, or damages from your reliance on information in the Service — even if we've been advised that such damages are possible.
Some jurisdictions don't allow certain limitations of liability, so parts of this section may not apply to you. In those cases, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.
12. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, your submitted content, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
13. Changes to the Service and these Terms
We're an early-stage product and things will change. We may add, remove, or modify features at any time. We may also update these Terms. If we make material changes, we'll post a notice on the site and update the “Last updated” date. Significant changes affecting registered users will also be communicated by email where practical. Continued use of the Service after changes take effect means you accept the new Terms.
14. Governing law and disputes
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.
If you're a consumer in a jurisdiction with mandatory local consumer protection laws, nothing in this section removes the protections those laws give you.
15. Miscellaneous
Entire agreement. These Terms and our Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us about the Service.
Severability. If any part of these Terms is found unenforceable, the rest stays in effect.
No waiver. If we don't enforce a provision, that's not a waiver of our right to enforce it later.
Assignment. You can't assign these Terms without our permission. We can assign them (for example, in connection with a sale or reorganization of the business).
No agency. Nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, or employment relationship between us.
