Cruiser Terms of Service

By using Cruiser or other Cruiser services, you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service").

Content Linked to by Cruiser

The sites displayed as search results or linked to by Cruiser Services are developed by people over whom Cruiser exercises no control. The search results that appear from Cruiser's indices are indexed by Cruiser's automated machinery and computers, and Cruiser cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the indices from which such automated search results are gathered. A search using Cruiser Services may produce search results and links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that a Cruiser search will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any search results or otherwise linked to by the Cruiser Services.

Personal Use Only

The Cruiser Services are made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the Cruiser Services to sell a product or service, or to increase traffic to your Web site for commercial reasons, such as advertising sales. You may not take the results from a Cruiser search and reformat and display them, or mirror the Cruiser home page or results pages on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" Cruiser. If you want to make commercial use of the Cruiser Services, you must enter into an agreement with Cruiser to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.

If you are interested in adding a Cruiser search box to your web site or your company's web site, we encourage you to do so.

No Automated Querying

You may not send automated queries of any sort to Cruiser's system without express permission in advance from Cruiser. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:

  • using any software which sends queries to Cruiser to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on Cruiser for various queries;
  • "meta-searching" Cruiser; and
  • performing "offline" searches on Cruiser.

Please do not write to Cruiser to request permission to "meta-search" Cruiser for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.

Requests for Removal of Links

Cruiser occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its indices. The general approach that Cruiser takes reflects the following principles:

Cruiser's indices consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, Cruiser cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indices. For each web site reflected in Cruiser's indices, the operator of the site should take the steps to prevent site being indexed with the automatic facilities used to create the indices. The operator of the site should either (i) restrict access to his or her web site or (ii) take the site down from the web.

Miscellaneous Provisions

These Terms of Service constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and replaces all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. Any waiver of any provision of the Terms of Service will be effective only if in writing and signed by Cruiser.
