Terms of service
Last updated September 15, 2026
These terms apply to everyone who uses startupindex.net, whether as a visitor, a member or a founder listing a startup. Using the site means you accept them.
Accounts
You sign in with a link sent to your email. You are responsible for keeping access to that email address safe. One person, one account. We can close accounts that break these terms.
Listings
- You may only submit a startup you own or are allowed to represent.
- What you submit must be accurate. We may edit taglines and descriptions for clarity and remove listings that are misleading, illegal or off topic.
- We decide which listings go live. A rejection is not a judgment on your product.
- You keep the rights to the text and logo you upload and give us permission to show them on the site, in the newsletter and in social media posts about the site.
Voting and comments
Upvotes must come from real people who chose to vote. Buying votes, running bots or creating extra accounts to vote gets the listing and the accounts removed. Comments must be civil and on topic.
Paid boosts
Boosts are sold for a fixed number of days at the price shown at checkout. Payments are processed by Mollie. See the refund policy for refunds.
Competitor analysis and tracking
Anonymous visitors can preview two competitor reports per IP address, with no daily reset. Shared internet connections share this allowance. Sign in to open full reports. Accounts include one scan in each rolling 24-hour period; additional scans cost $0.99 USD each as a one-time purchase. Failed scans do not use the free allowance, and failed paid scans can be retried without another charge. Tracking is separate from scans.
Each account includes one free tracking activation for any competitor, lasting until canceled. Canceling free tracking ends access immediately and permanently uses the free activation. It cannot be transferred or reused, including for the same competitor. Subsequent tracking activations cost $0.99 USD per competitor per month, charged at checkout and renewed monthly until canceled. Existing paid subscriptions retain the price accepted at their checkout. Cancel a paid competitor in Manage tracking to stop future renewals; monitoring continues until the paid period ends. Newly discovered competitor suggestions are included and are never added to paid tracking automatically. Reports use public sources and may be incomplete or contain errors; verify information before making business decisions.
Service availability
The site is provided as is. We do our best to keep it online and accurate, but we do not promise a certain uptime, ranking or amount of traffic. We are not responsible for the products listed or for what happens when you use them.
Liability
To the extent the law allows, our total liability to you for anything related to the site is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim.
Changes
We may update these terms. The date at the top tells you when. Continued use after a change means you accept the new version.
