Terms of service

1. Agreement

Techavy (“Techavy”, “we”, “us”) runs a product launch platform and an independent directory of software tools, with reviews, ranked lists and guides. By using www.techavy.com, creating an account, launching a product or buying a paid service, you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you use Techavy on behalf of a company, you confirm you can bind that company to these terms.

You must be at least 16 years old to create an account or buy anything on Techavy.

2. Accounts

Keep your login details private and tell us promptly if you think someone else is using your account. You are responsible for activity on your account. One person may hold one maker account. Accounts created to vote for your own products are a breach of these terms.

3. Launches and listings

A launch puts your product on a daily and weekly board and gives it a product page. Free launches take the next open launch day. Premium launches let you choose your day and add the extras described on the pricing page.

• You may only launch a product you own or are authorised to represent.
• Listings must describe a real, working product. We may decline, edit for accuracy, reschedule or remove any listing that is misleading, broken, a duplicate, or outside the acceptable use rules below.
• Launch days and board weeks follow UTC. A weekly board runs from Monday 00:00 to Sunday 23:59 UTC.
• Editorial ratings and reviews are separate from launches. A launch never buys a score, a better verdict or a place in a ranked list.

4. Content you submit

You keep ownership of the names, logos, screenshots, descriptions, comments and other material you submit. You give Techavy a worldwide, non exclusive, royalty free licence to host, display, reproduce, adapt for layout, translate and promote that material on Techavy, in our newsletter and on our social channels, for as long as the listing is live and for a reasonable period afterwards in archives and backups.

You confirm your content is accurate, that you have the rights to it, and that it does not infringe anyone else’s rights or break the law. Reviews and comments must reflect a genuine experience. We may moderate, edit for length or remove content that breaks these terms.

5. Free featured launches and removal requests

To keep the boards useful while makers arrive, Techavy lists some real products as free featured launches. We write those listings ourselves from what the product’s own public website says, link to the official site, never add votes, views or reviews, and label any AI drafted review as AI generated.

If one of these listings is about your product, you have three options:

• Claim it from the “Is this your product?” link on its page to verify ownership and edit the details yourself.
• Ask for a correction through the contact form.
• Ask for removal through the removal request form. Tell us the listing and how you are connected to the product. Once we confirm the request comes from the product owner, we remove or unpublish the listing, usually within five business days.

Rights holders can use the same form for copyright or trademark complaints. Please include the material concerned, the work or mark you own, and your contact details.

6. Votes, boards and medals

Board positions come from honest upvotes counted inside each period, with ties broken by Premium tier and then by earlier launch. Medals go to the top three products of each closed day, week and month. We may discount, remove or audit votes that look automated, purchased, swapped or cast from multiple accounts, and we may withdraw a medal earned that way. Our decision on board integrity is final.

7. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• buy, trade, script or otherwise manipulate votes, reviews or comments;
• launch or advertise products involving adult content, gambling, weapons, illegal drugs, malware, phishing, financial schemes promising returns, or anything unlawful where you or your users are;
• impersonate another person, company or product;
• post spam, hateful or harassing content, or personal data about others;
• scrape the site faster than a polite crawler would, ignore robots.txt, probe for vulnerabilities without permission, or disrupt the service.

8. Paid placements and sponsored content

Techavy earns money from Premium launches, ad slots, sponsored articles, paid reviews, directory submission services and badges. Every paid placement is labelled. Ads carry a “Sponsored” label, and sponsored articles and paid reviews say so at the top of the page and name the sponsor.

• Payment never changes an editorial rating, a verdict, or a position in a ranked best of list. A paid review is written by an editor and may be critical.
• Advertisers are responsible for the accuracy and legality of their ads and the pages they link to. We may decline or remove any ad.
• Premium launches receive priority placement, which is disclosed on the board.

9. Link policy

How we mark links to your site:

• Premium launches: the link from your product page to your site is a followed link.
• Free launches: the product page link is followed only while the Techavy badge is live on your site. We check the badge weekly and switch the link to nofollow if the badge is gone.
• Ads and sponsored content: links are always marked sponsored and nofollow, as search engines require for paid links.
• We may change any link to nofollow, or remove it, if the destination breaks these terms, redirects somewhere else, or becomes unsafe.

We do not promise rankings, traffic or any specific search outcome from a link on Techavy.

10. Payments and refunds

Prices are listed in US dollars on the pricing page and shown again before you pay. Card payments are handled by our payment processor; we never see or store your full card number. Unless stated otherwise, purchases are one time payments, not subscriptions. You are responsible for any taxes that apply to you. Our refund policy explains when each purchase can be refunded.

11. AI drafted text

Techavy uses AI models to draft listing text from a product’s website and to write short AI reviews. These drafts can be wrong. Makers should check and edit their listing before launch, and AI reviews are labelled as AI generated. AI reviews are not editorial ratings and never show a numeric score.

12. Our content and badges

Our editorial text, ratings, design and code belong to Techavy. You may quote short passages with a link back to the source page. You may embed Techavy badges and medal images on your own site to show a real launch or award, as long as you do not alter them or display one you did not earn.

13. Disclaimers and liability

Techavy is provided as is. Listings describe third party products that we do not control, and we do not guarantee their availability, pricing or fitness for your purpose. Check the official site before you buy anything.

To the extent the law allows, Techavy is not liable for indirect or consequential losses, lost profits or lost data, and our total liability for any claim is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

14. Suspension and termination

You can stop using Techavy at any time and ask us to delete your account. We may suspend or close accounts, remove listings or cancel launches that break these terms. If we end a paid service for reasons that are not your fault, we refund the unused part.

15. Changes and contact

We may update these terms as the platform grows. The date at the top always shows the current version, and material changes are announced on the site before they take effect. Questions, disputes and notices go through the contact form; we would rather fix a problem directly than argue about it.
