These terms cover your use of SourceSwap — the directory, blog, comparison pages, and any interactive feature. They're written plainly. If something is unclear, ask.
Acceptance
By using SourceSwap, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, the simplest response is to not use the site — no hard feelings.

You're free to:
- Browse any public page on the site.
- Link to any page from your own site, forum, or message.

- Print or save pages for personal use.
You can't:

Editorial content
Reviews, rankings, categories, and recommendations reflect the curator's independent judgment at the time of writing. They may change as tools evolve or as testing deepens. Editorial coverage is never influenced by advertisers, affiliate partners, or the projects being covered — see the Editorial Policy for the full commitment.
Third-party links
The site contains links to third-party websites — tool repositories, project websites, hosting providers, and similar. Some of those links may be affiliate links. SourceSwap isn't responsible for the content, policies, or practices of any site it links to.
If a link leads to a tool you're considering installing, review that tool's own documentation and license before use. SourceSwap doesn't guarantee any third-party software.
Intellectual property
All original content on SourceSwap — written reviews, editorial decisions, site design, and layout — is © SourceSwap and its author. Tool logos, screenshots, and project names referenced throughout the site belong to their respective owners and are used for identification purposes.
If you believe content on the site infringes your rights, contact the site and it will be reviewed promptly.
Disclaimers
SourceSwap is provided "as is." The site aims for accuracy, but software changes fast. Version numbers, license information, feature descriptions, and other details may become outdated between updates. Nothing on the site should be treated as professional advice — technical, legal, or otherwise.
Installing and using third-party software carries risk. Read the documentation. Back up your data. Understand what you're running before you run it.
Limitation of liability
SourceSwap isn't liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or of any tool referenced on it — including data loss, security incidents, or costs incurred by installing third-party software. You use the site and everything it references at your own risk.
This limitation applies to the extent permitted by law. If you're in a jurisdiction where some exclusions don't apply, those exclusions don't apply to you.
Changes
These terms may be updated as the site evolves. When they change, the "Last updated" date at the top of the page will change. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
