Terms
Short version: the score is free, we provide it as-is, the methodology is public, and you can’t hammer the API. Read on for the details — we kept it brief.
What you get
A free AI-shopping-readiness score for any storefront URL you submit, plus a ranked list of the top fixes. The scoring methodology is publicly documented at agentshelf.app/methodology. Every check, every weight, every cap is documented and auditable.
Fair use
- The scorer is free for stores you own or are authorized to audit.
- Don’t use it to crawl a competitor’s store at scale for resale, scraping, or anything else you wouldn’t do with a normal SEO tool.
- We rate-limit per IP using a server-side hashed-IP counter. Hitting the limit means you wait until the window resets — not that you’re banned.
- Every score request goes through Cloudflare Turnstile (invisible bot-detection). Automated or scripted bulk submissions will be blocked.
- We enforce a daily cost ceiling across all scans. If the ceiling is reached, new scans are temporarily unavailable until capacity resets the next day.
What we crawl
We respect robots.txt. We identify ourselves with a user-agent. The crawl is read-only; we never POST, never authenticate, never touch your admin. If your site blocks our user-agent in robots.txt, the score will reflect that (we can’t see what we’re not allowed to see).
No warranty
The score is a measurement of public signals against a published rubric. It is not a guarantee that AI assistants will or won’t recommend your store. AI shopping behavior changes month to month; we update the rubric as the protocols evolve and note changes in the public changelog.
The service is provided “as is.” To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect or consequential damages arising from your use of the score.
Paid tool (when it launches)
The paid agentShelf tool (launching after the free scorer) will have its own subscription terms presented at checkout. They will include cancel-anytime, no contracts, and clear pricing. The free score will remain free.
Changes to these terms
If we materially change these terms, we’ll update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and (if you’re on the waitlist or a paying customer) send you an email.
