If you do not accept these terms in their entirety, you must discontinue use of the platform immediately.

2. Scope of Directory & Zero Software Hosting Principle

Softzia operates exclusively as an index, search directory, and discovery platform for desktop, server, and developer software applications.

When you initiate a download through our 4-Mirror fallback engine, you are establishing a direct connection with the software vendor or official host. Softzia does not alter, inject code into, bundle toolbars with, or package third-party installers.

You agree to use Softzia solely for lawful purposes. You are strictly prohibited from:

• Deploying unauthorized scrapers, data extraction scripts, or automated mechanisms to harvest directory listings or download links in bulk without express written authorization.
• Attempting to circumvent, bypass, or flood rate-limiting controls, telemetry logging, security tokens, or authentication barriers.
• Introducing viruses, trojans, worms, logic bombs, or other malicious, destructive, or technologically harmful code.
• Engaging in denial-of-service (DoS) or distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against Softzia infrastructure.
• Submitting fraudulent, defamatory, or deceptive broken link reports, reviews, ratings, or contact inquiries.

4. User Accounts, Bookmarks & Community Reviews

Certain features (such as saving favorites, subscribing to version release alerts, or posting community reviews) may require registering a client account. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and are solely liable for all activities conducted under your account.

When submitting ratings or reviews, you grant Softzia a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual license to display, index, and syndicate your review text. Reviews must be genuine, non-defamatory, and free of commercial solicitation or competitor attacks. Softzia reserves the right to edit or remove any review that violates community standards.
