1. Acceptance

By accessing endpointindex.com ("the Site"), you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

2. What the Site provides

Endpoint Index is an independent database of SMB endpoint security products. Every price and lab result is sourced and dated. Products are ranked by a published Fit Score. Listing is free. Paid Featured and Claimed placements cannot change scores or ranks.

The Site does not provide personalised security advice, managed services, or product recommendations tailored to your specific environment. Data is published for informational purposes. You are responsible for your own purchasing and security decisions.

3. Accuracy and limitations

We verify data according to our published methodology. However:

  • Data may become outdated between weekly checks.
  • Vendor pricing, features, and test results may change without notice.
  • The SMB Fit Score is a formula applied to published fields, not an editorial judgment of product quality.
  • "No public results" means we found no current independent lab results. It does not mean the product is ineffective.

We correct errors promptly when reported. Use [email protected] to flag any issue.

Endpoint Index does not use affiliate links and receives no commission when you buy a product after visiting the site.

Vendors may pay for a Claimed listing, a Featured placement or a Category Sponsor slot, as described in the editorial policy. Paid placements are labelled on every page where they appear. None of them can influence product data, scores, rankings, or editorial content.

Paid listings

  • Prices. Plans and prices are on the rate card, in US dollars, for a 12-month term.
  • Applying. Applying does not charge you. We review each application and may accept or decline it without giving a reason; a declined application is not charged. A Category Sponsor slot is limited to one per category page, and Featured cards to five per category page. Slots are held while an application is under review and allocated in order of approval.
  • Payment and start. After approval we send payment details by email. A paid placement starts when payment is received and runs for 12 months from that date. Invoices are issued by Simply Good Things Ltd. Placements do not currently renew automatically; we contact you before the term ends.
  • No guaranteed results. A paid placement buys a labelled position for the term, nothing more. We do not promise any number of visitors, clicks, leads, sales, search-engine rankings, or mentions or citations by AI assistants, and a placement never changes a score or rank.
  • Refunds. Once a placement is published it is non-refundable. If we remove a placement for any reason other than your breach of these terms (for example because we retire a category page), we refund the unused part of the term pro rata. If we decline an application, nothing is charged.
  • Chargebacks. If you dispute a payment with your card issuer or bank instead of contacting us first, we may suspend the placement while the dispute is open, and remove it if the dispute is decided in your favour.
  • Price changes. Prices can change. A change never affects a term you have already paid for; it applies to new purchases and renewals, and we give at least 30 days' notice before it applies to a renewal.
  • Who may apply. You must be authorised to act for the vendor, and your work email must be on the product's own domain. If more than one person applies for the same product, we decide which application to accept, and may ask both for evidence of authority.
  • Content rules. Profile text must be accurate and factual. No superlatives or rankings claims ("best", "leading", "#1", "industry-leading" and the like), no claims we cannot check against a public page, no comparisons with or mentions of competitors, and no promotional formatting (capitals, emoji, exclamation marks, prices or discount offers). Describe what the product does and who it is for, factually. We may edit, shorten or decline text that breaks these rules. Logos must be ones you have the right to use.
  • Your profile content. You are responsible for the accuracy and lawfulness of the profile you supply (tagline, description, logo, headquarters, founding year), and you confirm you have the rights to it. It is shown labelled "From the vendor", and it never affects scores or rankings. You agree to indemnify Simply Good Things Ltd against claims by third parties arising from content you supply.
  • Removal. We may remove a paid placement that misrepresents a product, breaks the content rules or breaches these terms, without a refund.

5. Intellectual property

The dataset published at /data/ is licensed under CC BY 4.0: you may reuse it, including commercially, if you credit Endpoint Index and link to the dataset page. Editorial text and the site's design remain ours; you may quote them with attribution. Product data derived from public vendor pages and lab reports is factual and not claimed as original.

You may link to any page on the Site. For bulk reuse, please use the dataset files rather than scraping pages.

6. Vendor submissions

Vendors who send corrections, claims, or enquiries by email grant us a non-exclusive right to use the submitted information for the purpose of maintaining the database. Vendors retain ownership of their submissions. We will not publish vendor contact details.

7. No warranty

The Site is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or accuracy of data.

8. Limitation of liability

Simply Good Things Ltd shall not be liable for any damages arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its data, including but not limited to purchasing decisions, security incidents, or data loss.

For paid listings, our total liability to a vendor in connection with the Site and any placement is limited to the fees that vendor paid us in the 12 months before the claim arose, and we are not liable for loss of profit, revenue, business or goodwill.

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

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Disputes shall be resolved in the courts of England and Wales.

10. Changes

We may update these terms. Material changes will be noted on this page with an updated effective date.
