Terms of use and disclaimer

stores.md is provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including warranties of accuracy, completeness, timeliness, availability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. You use it at your own risk.

stores.md shows no third-party data: no prices, rates, fees, market data or provider data, and it fetches nothing from other sites. Every number a tool uses comes from your request or from a generic formula the tool states. Those formulas are simplifications. They can be wrong for your case, and the skill and this site can be inaccurate, incomplete or not current.

Check every figure yourself, with the people and sources you rely on, before you act on it.

Nothing here is financial, legal, tax or purchasing advice, or an endorsement of any store. Nothing on stores.md is a recommendation or endorsement of any provider, product or service. The STORES.md skill is guidance for software agents and doesn’t guarantee any outcome.

The tools calculate, compare and check what you send against rules you choose. They don’t approve, enforce, certify or verify anything, including anyone’s identity, they can miss problems, and a clean result isn’t an approval or an assurance. Nothing on stores.md makes anything compliant with a law, regulation or standard, legally valid, or safe.

stores.md is not a store, marketplace, broker, payment service or wallet. It sells nothing, takes no fees, and lists no real stores: every store and price shown on it is made up.

Listings come from the stores that publish them. stores.md doesn't verify any store, product, price, address or claim, and a store's listing is not an offer from stores.md.

The STORES.md format and the tools read only what you send. They can misread a listing or a payment request, and a check that fits your rules is not an approval or a guarantee that a payment is safe or will be delivered.

If you publish a STORES.md file, you are responsible for what it says and for honoring it. stores.md doesn't host, review, rank or vouch for anyone's file.

Limits, allowed ways to pay and stores are your own choices. Counting a dollar token as a dollar is a simplification you choose, not a statement about its value.

stores.md never sells anything, lists real stores, moves money, holds keys or fetches other sites. Anything your agents do runs on your own accounts, under the terms of the services you use, at your cost. You are responsible for the settings you choose, for approvals, for your credentials and for following every service’s terms and the law. Settings an agent drafted are yours only once you agree to them.

Every purchase is between you and the store you buy from. stores.md is not a party to it and can’t refund, cancel or reverse anything. You agree to defend and indemnify the operators and contributors of stores.md against claims, losses and costs that come from your use of stores.md, your agents’ purchases, or a STORES.md file you publish.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the operators and contributors of stores.md are not liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of money, data, profits or business, arising from your use of, or inability to use, stores.md or any information from it, even if told such loss was possible. Where liability can’t be excluded, our total liability is limited to US$100.

stores.md reads and describes formats that others publish: x402, L402, the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the OpenAPI Specification, JSON-LD and schema.org structured data, llms.txt, agent cards and CAIP-2 network identifiers. Those names belong to their owners. stores.md uses them only to say which formats its tools read, shows no logos, and is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them or their owners.

The tools were written from the public specifications; no code from those projects is included. Network ids, token names and other values inside a payment request are shown as the request gives them. The example stores, products, prices, tokens and addresses on this site are made up.

Where code on stores.md (for example, an install command or a configuration file name) mentions a tool, client or service so that it works with it, that name is a trademark of its owner, used only for compatibility. If you own a name used here and want us to change how we use it, write to us and we’ll act promptly.

Don’t overload, attack or try to disrupt stores.md, and don’t use it to break the law or anyone else’s terms. We may rate-limit, block, change or stop any part of stores.md at any time, without notice.

stores.md has no accounts, sets no cookies and asks for no personal information. To learn what’s useful, we count page views, copies, skill fetches and API and MCP calls with anonymous server-side events. We store no IP addresses: a one-way daily hash of the IP address and browser string counts unique visitors, and the country comes from our host’s request headers. Counting runs only on the live site, and visiting with ?internal=1 turns it off in that browser.

Settings and anything you send to a tool are used only to answer that request. stores.md doesn’t store them and doesn’t send their values to analytics: only the tool name, a known preset name and how many settings were given. Our host keeps standard server logs.

The STORES.md skill and this site’s code are under the MIT License. Anything owned by third parties is not covered by that license.

We may update these terms. The date at the top shows the current version, and continued use means you accept it.
