Legal
Terms of use
1. Who we are
rule.law is an overview of apps for legal work, run by coenttb (Coen ten Thije Boonkkamp), Melissekade 114, 3544 CV Utrecht, Netherlands, Chamber of Commerce (KvK) 75006723, VAT NL002225740B77. Using rule.law or signing in means you accept these terms. If you submit an app for an organisation, you accept them for that organisation and confirm you may.
2. Listing is free
Browsing rule.law and submitting an app cost nothing. The order of the overview is not for sale. If paid places ever come, they will always carry the Sponsored label, as the How we rank page says.
3. Your account
You sign in with X, GitHub or Google, or with a code we send to your email address. rule.law has no passwords. The same email address is the same account, however you sign in. You are responsible for what happens with your account; tell us if someone else has got into it.
4. Submitting an app
Only submit an app you make or may submit for its maker. A person reviews every submission before it is listed. We may turn a submission down, and change or remove a listing later if it is no longer right or breaks these terms. We tell you our decision by email.
5. Your listing’s content
The text, icon and screenshots you give us stay yours. You let us show them on rule.law, shorten them where needed and use them to bring rule.law to people’s attention. You make sure they are accurate, current and infringe no one’s rights.
6. The check mark
An app gets the Verified check mark when the rule.law badge is on the app's page, with a link to the listing, and we have found it there in a check. The check mark says the maker controls the page, not that we tested the app, and it does not change the order. If a later check does not find the badge, the check mark lapses.
7. AI agents and your MCP link
Your personal MCP link lets an AI agent submit apps for you. Treat it as a password: whoever has it acts as you. You can turn it off or replace it with a new one at any time. What an agent does with your link counts as done by you.
8. Other apps and their makers
We don’t make the listed apps and are not responsible for what they do, what they cost or how they handle your data; their makers’ terms apply. rule.law gives general information about apps, not legal advice.
9. Acceptable use
Don’t use rule.law to post misleading or unlawful listings, to disrupt or overload the service, or to collect other people’s data. We may limit access if that happens.
10. Closing your account
You can ask us to close your account at any time. We then delete your drafts and your data as the privacy statement describes, and take listed apps down if you ask. We may close an account used against these terms.
11. Liability
rule.law is offered as it is. We do our best to keep its information right but don’t guarantee it. As far as the law allows, we are not liable for loss from using rule.law or the apps it lists.
12. Changes to these terms
We may change these terms. The date at the top says when they last changed. For a material change we tell signed-in makers by email beforehand.
13. Law and contact
Dutch law applies to these terms. Send questions to coen@coenttb.com.
