+ terms of use — IP–01

Short terms for a simple site.

No accounts, no payments, no ad tech — so no forty pages of legalese. Here's what using Inspirectory means, in plain language.

01

What Inspirectory is

Inspirectory is a hand-curated directory of design inspiration sites. Browsing it is free and requires no account. By using the site you accept these terms; if you don't agree with them, the polite move is simply not to use it.

02

Third-party links

Every listing links to a site owned and operated by someone else. We check links monthly and curate by hand, but we don't control what third-party sites publish, charge, or change — visiting them is between you and them. A listing here is an editorial recommendation, not an endorsement of everything a site does.

03

Submissions

Anyone can suggest a site through the submit form. Submitting doesn't guarantee listing — everything is reviewed by hand and not everything makes the cut. By submitting you confirm the information is accurate, and you allow us to publish, edit, or remove the listing at our discretion. If you leave the optional email, we use it to follow up about that submission and add it to the monthly newsletter — unsubscribe anytime.

04

Screenshots & trademarks

Thumbnails are screenshots of the listed sites, shown only to identify them — the way a review shows a book cover. All names, logos, and content belong to their owners. If you own a listed site and want your listing or screenshot changed or removed, contact us and we'll sort it out quickly.

05

Newsletter & your data

If you subscribe to the newsletter (or leave your email on a submission), we store it for exactly one purpose: sending you one email a month. No selling, no sharing, no drip campaigns. Every email includes an unsubscribe option, and you can also just ask us to delete your address. Browsing the directory stores nothing personal about you — what little we measure is spelled out right below.

06

Analytics & cookies

We use Google Analytics to count visits — which pages get read, roughly which country a visit came from, phone versus desktop. It exists to tell us whether the directory is actually useful, and that's all: we run no ads, we don't sell or share the data, and Google's advertising and cross-device features are switched off. It sets a first-party cookie so someone who comes back next week isn't counted as a second stranger, and it doesn't store your IP address. Don't want to be counted? Any content blocker, your browser's tracking protection, or Google's opt-out add-on will stop it, and the site works exactly the same. Separately, we tally outbound clicks per listing so we can sort by what people actually open — a number on a listing, not a profile of you, and no cookie involved.

07

No warranty

The directory is provided as-is. We work to keep it accurate and verified monthly, but we can't promise a listed site is still up, still free, or still good the moment you click. To the extent the law allows, we're not liable for anything that happens on third-party sites or for the directory being temporarily unavailable.

08

Changes

These terms may change as the project grows (accounts and voting are planned, for instance). The date below always reflects the latest revision; continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
