Read the terms and conditions governing your use of Liners. These terms cover accounts, submissions, reviews, and all platform interactions.
Last updated: March 26, 2026
By accessing or using Liners (the "Platform"), you agree to be bound by these Terms & Conditions ("Terms"). If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Platform. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and your continued use of the Platform constitutes acceptance of any changes.
Liners is a directory of software products and services across Africa. The Platform allows users to discover, compare, and review software products. It also allows software makers to submit their products for listing, claim ownership of existing listings, and optionally upgrade their listing for enhanced visibility.
The Platform also provides business intelligence about listed companies, including company profiles, funding information, team details, news articles, and job postings. This data is sourced from third-party business data providers and publicly available information. Some data on the Platform is available to all visitors, while certain information (such as full team listings, complete news archives, and complete job postings) requires you to create an account and sign in.
Portions of the Platform's content, including product descriptions, FAQs, categorisation, and company summaries, are generated or assisted by artificial intelligence. While we strive for accuracy, AI-generated content may contain errors and should not be relied upon as professional advice.
To access certain features of the Platform, you may need to create an account. Features that require an account include submitting reviews, reporting issues, and viewing full company data such as complete team listings, news archives, and job postings. When creating an account, you agree to:
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms or engage in fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise harmful behaviour.
Users may submit software products for inclusion in the directory. By submitting a product, you represent and warrant that:
We reserve the right to review, edit, reject, or remove any submission at our sole discretion. Submissions are reviewed by our AI agents and may be edited for clarity, accuracy, or consistency before publication.
Product owners may claim ownership of their listing by verifying their association with the product through our domain verification process. Claiming a product grants you the ability to manage your listing, respond to reviews, and access additional features. We reserve the right to revoke ownership claims that are found to be fraudulent or misleading.
By submitting reviews or other content on the Platform, you agree that:
We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove any user content that violates these Terms or is otherwise objectionable. Users must be signed in to submit reports about products.
Liners offers premium listing tiers that provide enhanced visibility and additional features. All payments are processed securely through a trusted third-party payment processor. By purchasing a premium listing, you agree to the payment processor's terms of service in addition to these Terms.
Premium listing fees are non-refundable except where required by applicable law or at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to modify pricing at any time, with changes taking effect for new purchases only.
The Platform may display advertisements from third-party advertisers. We are not responsible for the content, accuracy, or availability of any third-party advertisements or the products and services they promote. Your interactions with advertisers are solely between you and the advertiser.
The Platform displays business data about listed companies, including company profiles, funding rounds, investor information, key personnel, news articles, and job postings. This data is sourced from third-party business intelligence providers and publicly available information.
