Terms of Service

1. Description of services

Our services include, without limitation: analysis and breakdowns of SaaS and other business websites (including annotated content, scores, and commentary); pattern and component libraries; technology stack and tool pages; leaderboards and comparative content; and any other content, features, or functionality we make available from time to time. We may add, change, or discontinue services at our discretion. Our content is intended for general reference and inspiration only.

2. Independence and third-party trademarks

SaaS Pattern is an independent site. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, sponsored by, or connected to any of the companies, products, or services we feature, analyse, or mention. Our coverage and analysis are editorial and reflect our own methodology and opinions.

All company names, product names, logos, trade marks, service marks, and other intellectual property referred to or displayed on our site are the property of their respective owners. We do not claim any ownership of or association with those marks or brands. Use of third-party names and marks on our site is for identification, commentary, and reference only and does not imply endorsement by or affiliation with those owners. If you believe your rights have been infringed by our use of your marks, please contact us and we will consider your request in good faith.

3. Affiliate and commercial relationships

We may receive compensation when you click on links to, or sign up for or purchase, certain software, tools, or services that we mention on the site. Such compensation may include affiliate commissions or other referral or advertising fees. We do not have affiliate or other paid relationships with all products or companies we feature; our coverage includes both programmes in which we participate and those in which we do not. Compensation does not influence which products or sites we cover, how we analyse them, or how we rank or score them. Our editorial content and methodology remain independent. Where we have a material commercial or affiliate relationship in connection with specific content, we may disclose it in or near that content. By using our site, you acknowledge that we may benefit from such revenue in relation to some, but not all, of the software and services referenced on the site.

4. Acceptable use

You may use our services only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these terms. You are responsible for your own use and for keeping any account credentials secure. You may not use our site to violate any applicable law, infringe the rights of others, distribute malware, scrape or automate access in a manner that harms or overburdens our systems, or use our content in a way that suggests endorsement by us or misrepresents the source. We may suspend or terminate access for conduct we consider to be in breach of these terms or harmful to the site or others.

5. Our content and intellectual property

The site and its content (including text, graphics, layout, design, data, screenshots, summaries, and other materials we create or license) are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and use the site for your own personal, non-commercial reference in the normal way. You may not copy, scrape, resell, republish, or redistribute our content at scale, or use our trade marks or branding, without our prior written permission. Any unauthorised use may result in legal action.

6. Disclaimers

Our services and content are provided "as is" and "as available". We do not guarantee that the site will be error-free, secure, or uninterrupted, or that our analysis, scores, or recommendations are accurate, complete, or suitable for your situation. Our breakdowns, pattern information, and tech stack data are for general reference only and do not constitute legal, business, technical, or investment advice. Information about third-party products, pricing, or features may be outdated or incorrect. You use the site and any decisions you make based on it are at your own risk. You should verify important information independently and seek professional advice where appropriate.

7. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (including loss of data, profits, revenue, or business opportunity) arising from your use of or inability to use our services. Our total aggregate liability for any claims related to these terms or the services is limited to the amount you paid us, if any, in the twelve months preceding the claim (or, if nothing was paid, to zero).

8. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us and our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the services, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any third party's rights.

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. We will post the updated terms on this page and may update the effective or "last updated" date. Material changes may be highlighted. Your continued use of the site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, you must stop using our services.

10. General

These terms constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the services. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision does not waive that right or provision. These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which we operate, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction.

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect and use information; it is incorporated by reference into these terms. By using our site, you also agree to our Privacy Policy.
