Terms of Service

1.1 These Terms form a binding agreement between you and the LinkCoreAI team regarding your use of the Site. Using the Site — including browsing any page or using any tool — signifies acceptance.

1.2 If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you have authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

1.3 We may update these Terms as the Site evolves; the "Last updated" date reflects the current version, and material changes will be described at the top of this page. Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.

2.1 The Site includes model profiles and rankings, MCP server and client directories, AI product and tool listings, news articles, daily digests, guides, and browser-based utilities (together, the "Services").

2.2 The Services are provided for general informational purposes. They are not professional, legal, financial, or investment advice, and they are not a substitute for evaluating a model or product yourself for your specific circumstances.

2.3 We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time — including individual directories, tools, or features — for technical upgrades, maintenance, operational adjustments, or any other reason. Where reasonable, significant changes will be announced on the affected pages.

2.4 The Site is offered with no accounts and no registration. Nothing in these Terms depends on you creating a profile or providing personal information.

You agree not to:

• interfere with the operation of the Site, including through automated scraping at abusive rates, denial-of-service activity, or attempts to breach security;
• misrepresent your identity or affiliation when interacting with the Site or with us;
• use the Site to infringe the rights of any third party, including intellectual property and privacy rights;
• reverse-engineer, resell, or rehost the Site's content or tools as a competing service without permission;
• remove or obscure attributions, branding, or licensing notices contained in the Site's content.

4.1 The AI industry changes faster than any directory can track. Model capabilities, pricing, availability, and licensing change frequently, and third parties may alter or withdraw their products without notice.

4.2 While we work to keep entries current and clearly dated, we cannot promise that every detail is complete, accurate, or up to date at the moment you read it. Entries reflect the information available at their last-updated date.

4.3 Always verify material details — especially pricing, licensing, and hardware requirements — against the vendor's official documentation before making decisions or purchases.

4.4 If you spot an error, tell us at [email protected]; we correct confirmed errors openly rather than quietly rewriting them.

The Site's calculators and comparison boards (Model Compare, Model Cost Calculator, PC Compatibility Check, Server Configuration Calculator) run entirely in your browser:

• Results are estimates only, dependent on assumptions — such as workload characteristics and vendor list pricing — that may not match your real usage.
• Pricing shown reflects publicly listed rates at the tool's last update, including promotional rates where the vendor states an expiry; verify current pricing with the vendor before purchase.
• Hardware compatibility results are indicative, not guarantees; actual performance depends on drivers, quantization, memory bandwidth, and workload specifics.
• Use tool outputs as starting points for your own evaluation, not as commitments or professional advice.

6.1 Links do not constitute endorsements, partnerships, or warranties. We are not responsible for the content, pricing, security, or practices of third-party sites.

6.2 Product names, model names, logos, and trademarks appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners. Their use here is for identification and description, and does not imply affiliation or endorsement in either direction.

6.3 Advertising displayed on the Site is served by third-party advertising partners; we do not control the specific ads shown and our display of an ad is not an endorsement of the advertised product.

7.1 The Site's design, original text, data organization, and code are owned by the LinkCoreAI team or its licensors and are protected by applicable copyright and trademark law. Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of the Site's content to you.

7.2 If you believe content on the Site infringes your copyright, send a notice to [email protected] with the subject line "Copyright Notice", identifying the material at issue and your basis for the claim. We review such notices promptly and remove or modify confirmed infringing material.

9.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, the LinkCoreAI team shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, lost data, or business interruption — arising from or related to your use of, or inability to use, the Site or its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

9.2 Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greater of the amount you paid us for access to the Site (which is zero — the Site is free to read) or the minimum amount required by applicable law.

9.3 Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot be limited under law, such as liability for willful misconduct or, where applicable, statutory consumer protections.

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless the LinkCoreAI team from claims, damages, and reasonable costs arising from your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site. This does not apply where prohibited by law.

We operate the Site on a continuous-update model: features, directories, and tools evolve week to week. These Terms describe the Site as it currently exists; when the Site changes materially, this page and its "Last updated" date change with it, and material changes are summarized at the top of the page.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the Site's operator is established, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Nothing in these Terms deprives consumers of mandatory protections granted by the law of their country of residence.
