Terms of Service

What KubeEra is

KubeEra is an independent intelligence platform. It publishes engineer-to-engineer profiles of cloud-native tools and measures how AI answer engines describe them.AI-perception signals are a measurement of model output, not our judgment of a product's quality, and are labeled as such. Nothing here is professional, legal, or procurement advice.

Editorial independence & integrity

Placement is never for sale. Payment cannot move a position. We may accept payment for access, monitoring, testing, interviews, or reprints, but not for placement. See the methodology for how signals are computed.

Acceptable use

Don't misuse the site: no scraping or automated access that burdens the service, no attempts to breach security or access non-public areas (e.g. the admin dashboard), no submitting false information through the forms, and no unlawful use. We may rate-limit or block abusive access.

Operator submissions

If you apply to become a verified operator, you certify that you have genuine production experience with the tools you report on, that your submission doesn't breach an NDA or a product's terms, that opinions are your own, and that you are liable for false statements of fact. You may not file a field report on a product you are employed by or paid to promote. Verified field reports may be published with attribution.

Vendor interactions

Vendor products (monitoring, interviews, response program, consented lab testing) are governed by separate agreements. Contesting a characterization requires verifiable evidence; evidence is published at equal prominence but cannot buy a position.

Intellectual property & marks

Site content is ours or our licensors'. Third-party names and logos are used nominatively to identify the tools we cover and remain the property of their owners; their use here does not imply endorsement. KubeEra is not affiliated with or endorsed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

No warranty; limitation of liability

The site is provided "as is," without warranties of any kind. To the maximum extent permitted by law, KubeEra is not liable for indirect or consequential damages, and our total liability is limited to the amount you paid us (if any) in the prior twelve months.

Changes; contact

We may update these terms; material changes will be reflected by the "last updated" date. Questions: hello@kubeera.com. See also our Privacy policy.

Draft baseline provided during beta; being finalized with counsel and subject to change.
