Terms of Service

The terms that govern your use of Knov.ai and its tools.

Effective: 30 May 2026

Acceptance

By using this site, the OARS standard and schema, the assessment and generator tools, the directory, the public API, or the MCP server (together, the “Service”), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.

The service

Knov.ai maintains the Open Agent Readiness Standard and related tools. Assessment scores, generated manifests, and verification outcomes are provided to help you understand and improve your site’s agent-readiness. They are informational and provided without warranty of any particular result.

Acceptable use

  • Only submit URLs you own or are authorized to assess.
  • Do not use the Service to attack, overload, probe, or gain unauthorized access to any system, including by submitting URLs that target infrastructure you do not control.
  • Do not attempt to circumvent rate limits, authentication, or other technical controls.
  • Do not scrape, resell, or redistribute the directory or API beyond what the documented interfaces permit.
  • Do not submit unlawful, infringing, or misleading content.

API keys

API keys are issued to identified parties and must be kept confidential. You are responsible for activity under your key. We may rate-limit, suspend, or revoke keys for abuse or violation of these terms.

Directory & verification

Listing and verification are at our discretion and may be modified or removed. Verification reflects our assessment at a point in time against the standard and is not a guarantee of any business’s conduct, security, or fitness. You may request removal of your entity from the directory at any time.

Intellectual property

The OARS specification and schema are published for implementation and reference. The Knov.ai name, site, and software are owned by us. You retain ownership of content you submit and grant us the rights needed to operate the Service, including processing submitted URLs and content.

Disclaimer & limitation of liability

The Service is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Knov.ai is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages, or for any loss arising from your use of, or reliance on, the Service.

Changes

We may update these terms from time to time. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
