Terms of Service

Last updated: 1 September 2026

These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of directree (directree.io), operated by Henrik Malmkvist, Sweden. By using directree you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the service.

1. What directree is

directree is an honest software directory. We index, curate, and publish structured listings for software tools. Every listing includes clearly labelled provenance indicators: Verified (observed facts), AI-inferred (generated from public website text), and Founder-edited (confirmed by the maker).

2. Accounts

You must provide accurate information when creating an account. You are responsible for keeping your credentials secure. You may not share your account or create accounts on behalf of others without permission. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.

2.1 Account emails

By creating a directree account you agree to receive occasional emails from directree related to your account and to using the product. This includes onboarding tips, getting-started guidance, feature and product updates, and occasional requests for feedback or a review. These are part of the service, not a separate marketing list. You can stop receiving them by deleting your account, which you can do at any time from your account settings. Deleting your account removes your profile and ends all directree emails.

Separately, the optional Survey invites and Marketing newsletterpreferences you choose at signup (or later in account settings) control additional, non-essential mailing lists. Those two you can turn off at any time without deleting your account.

3. Submitting listings

3.1 Anyone can submit

Any user may submit a tool URL to directree. Submitting a listing does not imply any ownership claim over that listing. The listing belongs to the directree index, not to the submitter.

3.2 Claiming a listing

Software makers and their authorised representatives may claim a listing by verifying domain ownership (via DNS record, meta tag, or verification email to a domain address). Once claimed and verified, the representative may edit Founder-edited fields. Claim status is displayed publicly.

3.3 Your content

By submitting content (descriptions, edits, comments, votes) you grant directree a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide licence to publish and display that content as part of the directory. You retain ownership. You must not submit content that is false, misleading, defamatory, or infringes third-party rights.

4. AI-inferred content disclaimer

Fields labelled AI-inferred are generated by an AI model from publicly available website text. They are editorial summaries, not verified facts, guarantees, or endorsements. directree makes no warranty that AI-inferred content is accurate, complete, or current. If you are the tool maker and you find an error, claim your listing and correct it.

5. Acceptable use

You must not use directree to:

• Submit false, fabricated, or misleading tool information
• Manipulate votes, ratings, or listing prominence through coordinated inauthentic behaviour
• Impersonate another person or organisation
• Scrape directree data at scale without written permission
• Use the platform to harass, threaten, or harm other users
• Attempt to gain unauthorised access to our systems or another user's account
• Violate any applicable law or regulation

6. Content removal

We reserve the right to remove or modify any listing, comment, or user-generated content at our sole discretion, including content that violates these Terms or that we consider harmful to the community or to the accuracy of the directory.

7. Intellectual property

The directree name, logo, design system, and proprietary software are owned by Henrik Malmkvist and may not be reproduced without permission. Tool names, logos, and trademarks referenced in listings belong to their respective owners. Listing a tool in directree does not imply endorsement by those owners.

8. Paid features, cancellations, and refunds

Paid directree features include Fast Lane, Directree Plus, GEO Monitor, the SEO Build Pack, and Featured Week. Unless mandatory law requires otherwise, payments for these features are final and non-refundable once delivery or performance has begun. We do not provide refunds because a customer changes their mind, does not use an activated feature, or does not achieve a particular traffic, search-ranking, search-authority, lead, or sales result. A customer cannot retain a delivered benefit and later reverse the purchase solely because they no longer want it.

8.1 When delivery begins

By purchasing a paid feature, you request that directree begin delivery immediately. Delivery or performance begins as follows:

• Fast Lane: when the listing is approved and released from the review queue. This service is performed immediately after successful payment.
• Directree Plus: when lifetime Plus access and its included account and listing benefits are activated.
• GEO Monitor: when the paid subscription period and its scan access or allowances become available.
• SEO Build Pack: when the personalised research and content generation job is commissioned or begins processing.
• Featured Week: when the selected limited-availability week is reserved for the customer and directree begins preparing or providing the placement.

8.2 Subscriptions and future renewals

A recurring GEO Monitor subscription may be cancelled before its next renewal. Cancellation stops future charges but does not produce a full or partial refund for the current billing period. Access continues until the end of that paid period unless the service states otherwise.

8.3 Mandatory consumer rights

Nothing in these Terms removes any cancellation, withdrawal, repair, re-performance, price-reduction, or refund right that cannot legally be excluded. Where applicable law requires express consent before an immediate digital delivery or fully performed service becomes non-refundable, that law applies.

If a paid feature is faulty, is materially not as described, or is not delivered, contact us promptly with enough information for us to investigate. We will first have a reasonable opportunity to correct the problem or re-perform the service. If we cannot do so within a reasonable time, an appropriate price reduction or full or partial refund may be provided where required by law or agreed by directree.

9. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by Swedish law, directree and Henrik Malmkvist shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential damages arising out of your use of or inability to use the service. The directory is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. Our total liability to you for any claim shall not exceed the amount you have paid us in the preceding 12 months (if any).

10. Governing law

These Terms are governed by Swedish law. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Sweden. If you are a consumer in the EU, you may also have rights under the law of your country of residence.

11. Changes to these Terms

We may update these Terms as the service evolves. Material changes will be announced in the app and on this page with an updated date. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.
