Terms of Service

1. Introduction

Welcome to Cappy.fyi. Your use of our services, including the website cappy.fyi and all related pages, data, and features that link to these terms (the “Site”), together with any software or services we offer in connection with them (collectively, the “Services”), is governed by these terms of service (the “Terms”). Please read them carefully. For the purposes of these Terms, “we,” “our,” “us,” and “Cappy.fyi” refer to Chris Pickett, an individual operating the Services from the State of Texas, United States.

In order to use the Services, you must agree to these Terms. You must be at least 16 years of age to use the Services. If you are old enough to use the Services but not yet of legal age to form a binding contract where you live, your parent or guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

By accessing or using the Services, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not accept these Terms, you may not use the Services. Certain features may be subject to additional posted guidelines or rules. To the extent they conflict with these Terms, the additional terms govern for those features only.

2. Accounts

Some features require you to register an account. You agree to provide accurate and complete information and to keep it up to date. Your account is for your personal use only, and you are responsible for keeping your credentials confidential and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly at cappycatalog@gmail.com if you learn of any unauthorized use of your account.

3. The Service and Catalog Content

Cappy.fyi is an informational field guide about AI models, tools, hardware, and related systems, including specifications, comparisons, and hardware-compatibility guidance (“Cappy-Supplied Content”). While we work to link claims to sources and to keep Cappy-Supplied Content accurate, complete, and current, it is provided for general informational purposes only and may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate. It is not professional, financial, legal, or purchasing advice. Independently verify important hardware compatibility and spending decisions before relying on it. We are not responsible for decisions you make in reliance on the Services.

4. User Content

The Services may let you submit information such as saved hardware profiles, preferences, and feedback (“User Content”). You are responsible for your User Content and represent that you have the rights necessary to submit it and that it does not violate these Terms, any law, or the rights of others. You grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive license to host, store, reproduce, and use your User Content solely to operate and improve the Services. We may remove User Content or suspend accounts that we reasonably believe violate these Terms or applicable law.

5. Proprietary Rights

Except for your User Content, we (and our licensors) own all right, title, and interest in and to the Services and Cappy-Supplied Content, including the site’s original content, design, and branding (including the name and character “Cappy”), which are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. Third-party names, logos, and trademarks referenced in the catalog belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use our brand features except as permitted by law.

6. License and Restrictions on Use

We grant you a personal, worldwide, royalty-free, non-assignable, and non-exclusive license to use the Services as permitted by these Terms. You may not (and may not permit anyone else to):

• copy, modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, decompile, or attempt to extract the source code of the Services.
• disable or circumvent any security or access-control mechanism, or interfere with or disrupt the Services or the networks connected to them.
• use any robot, spider, scraper, or other automated means to access, “scrape,” or harvest content from the Services in a manner that is abusive, burdens our infrastructure, or violates these Terms.
• use the Services to build or train a competing product or dataset, or to bring an intellectual property claim against us.
• use the Services in any way that is unlawful, infringing, harmful, harassing, deceptive, or otherwise objectionable, or that violates the rights of others.

You may not use the Services if you are barred from doing so under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdictions.

7. Pricing

The Services are currently provided free of charge. If we introduce paid features in the future, we will describe the applicable pricing and terms before you incur any charge, and those terms will apply to your use of the paid features.

8. Privacy

Your use of the Services is also governed by our Privacy Policy, which explains how we collect, use, and share information.

9. Modification and Termination of Services

We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Services (in whole or in part) at any time, including adding or removing features. You may stop using the Services at any time and may delete your account. We may terminate or suspend your access to the Services at our discretion, including for violation of these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification.

10. Changes to the Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time. If we make material changes, we will revise the “Last updated” date above. By continuing to use the Services after changes take effect, you agree to the revised Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Services.

11. Disclaimer of Warranty

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES AND ALL CONTENT ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, OR THAT ANY INFORMATION (INCLUDING CATALOG DATA OR HARDWARE GUIDANCE) PROVIDED THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE ACCURATE. NOTHING IN THESE TERMS EXCLUDES OR LIMITS ANY WARRANTY OR LIABILITY THAT MAY NOT LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED.

12. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, GOODWILL, DATA, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES OR THESE TERMS, HOWEVER CAUSED AND UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THESE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN NO EVENT WILL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US FOR THE SERVICES IN THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTHS (WHICH, FOR A FREE SERVICE, IS ZERO) OR ONE HUNDRED U.S. DOLLARS ($100).

13. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Cappy.fyi and its operator from and against any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or related to your breach of these Terms, your use of the Services, your violation of any law or the rights of another, or your User Content.

14. Copyright and DMCA

We respect the intellectual-property rights of others and expect users to do the same. If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, please send a notice to cappycatalog@gmail.com that identifies the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing material (with enough detail to locate it), your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorized, and a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf, together with your signature. We will respond to valid notices as required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

15. Third-Party Content and Software

The Services may reference or link to third-party websites, resources, or materials, and may incorporate third-party software licensed under its own terms. We are not responsible for the availability, accuracy, or content of third-party materials, and you access and rely on them at your own risk. Nothing in these Terms limits your rights under, or grants rights that supersede, any applicable third-party license.

16. Feedback

If you send us comments or ideas about the Services, you agree that we may use them without restriction or compensation to you, and that your feedback is provided without any obligation of confidentiality on our part.

17. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or the Services are governed by the laws of the State of Texas, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in Texas for any such dispute, and you waive any objection to jurisdiction or venue there. Any claim arising out of or relating to the Services must be brought within one (1) year after it arises.

18. Miscellaneous

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Services and supersede any prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remaining provisions remain in effect. Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver, and you may not assign these Terms without our prior written consent.
