Terms of use

1. What Markoten is

Markoten is a directory of subscription software. You can browse listings, compare them, and ask us to put you in touch with a seller about a product.

We do not sell software and we do not take payment for it. Any purchase or subscription is a contract between you and the seller, on their own terms. We are not a party to it, we do not deliver the software, and we cannot activate, suspend or refund it.

2. Listing accuracy

We research and list products from publicly available information. Product names and trade marks belong to their owners and are used only to identify the product.

Prices, features and setup times may change at any time. Each listing shows when it was last verified. Always check the seller’s own site before relying on anything. A seller who controls a product’s domain can claim the listing and update it, or ask us to remove it.

3. Requests

When you send a request, we pass your name, email address and anything else you write to the seller of that product, so they can respond. We only do this if you tick the consent box. We cannot promise the seller will reply, accept you as a customer, or offer any particular price.

4. Accounts

You are responsible for what happens under your account and for keeping your sign-in details safe. Tell us straight away if you think someone else has access.

You must be at least 16 to hold an account, and old enough to enter a contract in your country — 18 in most of them. This is a service for buying software for work and it is not directed at children. If we learn an account belongs to someone younger, we close it and delete the data.

5. Claiming a listing

To claim a listing you must prove you control the product’s domain by publishing a record we give you in its DNS. Claiming a listing you have no right to is a breach of these terms. Once claimed you are responsible for the accuracy of what the listing says.

6. Fees, and what happens to your money

Buyers pay us nothing. Sellers pay a flat monthly listing fee, shown on the pricing page and again before you commit, and no commission on anything they sell. Cancellation and refunds are set out in our refund policy, which forms part of these terms.

7. Names, logos and content

Product names, logos and trade marks shown on a listing belong to their owners. We use them only to identify the product being described, which is what trade mark law permits, and their presence implies no endorsement or partnership. A rights holder who would rather we did not can say so and we will remove the mark, or the whole listing, without argument.

The site’s own text, layout and mark are ours. The typefaces are Geologica and Source Sans 3, both used under the SIL Open Font License. Every illustration and icon on the site was drawn for it; we use no stock imagery.

8. What you may not do

Do not scrape the site at scale, try to break or overload it, submit listings for products you have no right to represent, impersonate anyone, or submit false or misleading information.

9. Suspension and removal

We may remove a listing or suspend an account that breaks these terms. Where we do, we will tell you the reason and give you a way to reply, unless we are legally prevented from doing so. A seller may ask us to remove their listing at any time.

10. Liability

The site is provided as it is. We do not warrant that listing information is accurate, complete or current, and we are not liable for anything that happens between you and a seller — including software that does not work, is not delivered, or is not what you expected.

Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

11. Changes

We may change these terms. If a change materially affects sellers with listings on the site, we will give at least 15 days’ notice before it takes effect, and longer where the law requires it.

12. Law and contact

These terms are governed by Greek law, and the courts of Giannitsa have jurisdiction. Questions go to hello@markoten.com.
