Terms of Service

1. Agreement to these terms

By visiting the Site, browsing the directory, comparing platforms or making a submission, you accept these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you use the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent that you are authorized to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Who may use the Site

You may use the Site if you can form a legally binding contract in your jurisdiction and your use is permitted by applicable law. The Site is not directed to children, and you must be at least 16 years old (or the age of digital consent where you live) to submit content or contact us.

3. What FreeCloudHosting provides

FreeCloudHosting is a free, advertising-supported directory that catalogues free-tier cloud platforms and the open-source projects you can deploy to them, with tools to filter and compare them. The Site is provided for general informational purposes. We are an independent directory and are not affiliated with, endorsed by or acting on behalf of the platforms we list unless expressly stated.

4. Accuracy and informational use

The content we publish — including free-tier limits, pricing, regions, features and project metadata — is gathered from public sources and curated for convenience. Providers change their offerings frequently and without notice. We verify entries periodically but make no warranty that any detail is current, complete or accurate. Always confirm the specifics on the provider's official site before making a decision or relying on them. Nothing on the Site is legal, financial or professional advice.

5. Acceptable use

When using the Site, you agree not to:

• break the law or infringe the rights of others;
• submit false, misleading, spammy or infringing entries;
• scrape, harvest or copy the directory in bulk for a competing service without permission;
• introduce malware, attempt to gain unauthorized access, or disrupt or overload the Site; or
• misrepresent your affiliation with any person or organization.

6. Submissions and your content

When you submit a platform, project or other content, you confirm that you have the right to share it and that it is accurate to the best of your knowledge. You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, edit, adapt and publish that content in the directory and in related promotion. We are under no obligation to publish a submission and may edit, decline or remove any entry at our discretion. You retain ownership of your content.

7. Intellectual property

The Site's design, original text, layout, and the "FreeCloudHosting" name and branding are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual-property laws. You may link to the Site and make personal, non-commercial use of it, but you may not copy, republish or create derivative works from substantial parts of it without permission. All third-party names, logos and trademarks shown in the directory remain the property of their respective owners and are used for identification only.

8. Third-party links and affiliate disclosure

The Site links to third-party platforms and repositories, some through referral or affiliate links from which we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, products, policies or practices of those third parties, and a link does not imply our endorsement. Your dealings with any third party are solely between you and them.

9. Disclaimers

The Site and all content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, secure, or free of harmful components, or that any information is accurate or up to date.

10. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, FreeCloudHosting and its operator will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, goodwill or other intangible losses, arising out of or relating to your use of (or inability to use) the Site or your reliance on its content — even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Nothing in these Terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under applicable law.

11. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless FreeCloudHosting and its operator from any claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your misuse of the Site, your submissions, or your breach of these Terms or of any law or third-party right.

12. Privacy

Our handling of information is described in our Privacy Policy and Cookie Policy. By using the Site you acknowledge those policies.

13. Availability and changes to the Site

We may add, change, suspend or discontinue any part of the Site — including directory entries and features — at any time and without notice. We are not liable to you or any third party for doing so.

14. Termination

We may restrict or block your access to the Site at any time if you breach these Terms or use the Site in a way that could harm us, other users or third parties. The sections that by their nature should survive termination — including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability and indemnification — will continue to apply.

15. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws applicable at the operator's principal place of business, without regard to conflict-of-laws rules, and you agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located there, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws of your country of residence provide otherwise.

16. Changes to these terms

We may revise these Terms from time to time. The "Last updated" date above shows when they last changed. Material changes may be highlighted on the Site, and your continued use after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
