Your source for software information and insightBasic things
Create product listings: To be a comprehensive resource for software buyers, we include all lists of software products currently being marketed or sold that fit into a category. To provide the most useful software shopping experience, our catalog team will determine if a product reasonably fits the category through a search on the vendor's website.
We will create these lists from publicly available information, or we will work with the software vendor to create and/or update lists that are accurate and best reflect the functionality of the product.
Criteria for publishing product listings on our websites: Our goal is to list authorized B2B software solutions that fit into one or more of our categories. Among the criteria include:
This is B2B software - we do not exclusively list B2C products, marketplaces or database sites, personal productivity solutions, clone products and/or personal applications. This is a packaged solution (pre-made/ready-to-use)
we do not list present/separate software.
It must correspond, in our sole discretion, to one of the existing categories.
It must be publicly available and is in beta testing
Products must be listed under a vendor-defined product name - we do not list the names of resellers, integrators, consultants or other third parties - unless specifically authorized by the supplier for resellers to list products by their name.
However, we do allow authorized resellers to participate in our lead generation programs.
However, when the parent company requests to generate a lead for their product, the parent company will take precedence and the reseller will be disabled.
PLEASE NOTE: While our websites serve as the hosting platform for a list of software products, we are not responsible for ensuring the legal and/or regulatory compliance of our products. that software. For information on the legal and/or regulatory status of a software product, website users will be directed to the software vendor through their website.
At Vendor Request: In keeping with our goal of being a comprehensive resource for software buyers, we will not remove the list of software products currently being marketed or sell matching a category. We will work with the software vendor to update the list to ensure it is accurate and best reflects the functionality of the product. If a software vendor is no longer in business and/or the listed product is no longer for sale (specified on the company's website), we will
- (i) Review and remove the product listing from category; or
- (ii)Keep the list and indicate that the product is no longer for sale or discontinued.
At Our Discretion: We reserve the right to modify or remove a Product Listing and/or Product Profile if, in our sole discretion, the listing or profile fails to comply with these Guidelines. As a rule, we do not remove Vendor Product Listings or Product Profiles unless: (i) the Product Listing or Profile does not fit within at least one of the existing software categories; or (ii) there is evidence to demonstrate that the Vendor’s product is no longer actively being marketed and/or sold to the public.
If through the course of ongoing maintenance and review of our catalog, we discover that an existing product listing no longer fits in a category and/or is not a legitimate, packaged B2B software product, it will be reviewed and removed.
