Open and Found: Terms of Use

Last updated: 12 October 2026 · Version: 1.3

These terms govern your use of openandfound.com and its subdomains (the "Service"; called Ivy At Yours, at ivyatyours.com, until 12 October 2026), operated by Open and Found ("we", "us"). By using the Service you agree to them. Our Privacy Notice explains how we handle personal data.

In short: Open and Found is free and provided "as is", with no warranties or guarantees of any kind.

1. What Open and Found is

Open and Found lets businesses reserve a page address and, when it's ready, set up a free page that can be read by AI assistants and agents. Open and Found also offers a free checker that tests whether a website publishes agent-readable information, and a public list of sites that pass.

The Service is free and in early access. Features may change, and some described features aren't available yet. We don't guarantee that any AI assistant, agent or platform will read, use or send requests through your page.

2. Who can use it

You must be at least 18, and if you sign up for a business, you confirm you're authorised to act for it.

3. Your page address

• Reserving an address (for example yourname.openandfound.com) gives you the right to use it on Open and Found while you follow these terms. You don't own it, and it can't be sold or transferred.
• Reservations are first come, first served. A name is yours only once you open the sign-in link we email you. Until then, someone else can claim it.
• Anyone who can open your email can sign in to your pages, so keep your email account secure.
• Don't reserve names you have no right to use, including other businesses' names or trademarks, or names that are misleading or offensive. We may refuse, reassign or remove an address at our discretion, including after a complaint from a rights holder.
• To report a page or claim a name that belongs to you, contact hello@openandfound.com.

4. Your content

• You're responsible for the information you give us (business details, services, prices) and for it being accurate and lawful.
• You keep ownership of your content. You give us a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, display, format and share it as needed to run the Service, including making your page readable by AI agents once you publish it. The licence ends when you delete your page, except for copies we must keep by law.
• We may remove content that breaks these terms or the law.

5. Publishing your page

• Your page goes live only when you choose Go live. Once it's live, anyone can see it at your page address, including search engines and AI assistants, and they may keep copies. Your email and WhatsApp number show only if you choose to show them.
• You can take your page offline or delete it at any time. Copies others already made may remain.
• Each page shows a "Made with Open and Found" link and a link to report the page.
• We may take a page offline, keep it out of search engines, or take it down for good if it breaks these terms or the law, or after a credible complaint. A page that was taken down can't be published again; if you think we got it wrong, contact hello@openandfound.com. We may also take all pages offline for a time, for example to deal with abuse.

6. Acceptable use

Don't:

• use the Service for anything unlawful, fraudulent or deceptive, or to impersonate anyone
• submit false business information or other people's contact details
• use the checker to attack, overload or probe systems you don't control, or to get around our rate limits or bot protection
• scrape, copy or resell the Service or its data
• interfere with the Service's security or operation

We may suspend or end access for anyone who breaks these rules.

7. Checker results and the public list

Checker results are automated, informational, and reflect a site at the time it was checked. They aren't a certification. Sites appear on the public list only when they pass a check; owners can rerun a check to update or ask us to remove a listing.

8. Messages from us

If you tick the consent box, we'll contact you by email, or WhatsApp if you add a number, about your page and about customer requests near you. You can unsubscribe at any time using the link or instruction in any message, or by contacting us. We'll still send messages that are strictly necessary to run your page (for example, security notices).

9. Third-party services

The Service relies on third parties (for example Cloudflare, AI assistants, messaging platforms). We aren't responsible for their services, availability or decisions.

10. No warranty

The Service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement, to the extent the law allows.

11. Limitation of liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, bookings, data or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Service is limited to CAD $100. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law, or any rights you have as a consumer under the law where you live.

12. Indemnity

You'll indemnify us against claims arising from your content, your misuse of the Service, or your breach of these terms, to the extent the law allows.

13. Ending

You can stop using Open and Found and delete your page at any time. We may suspend or end the Service, or your access, at any time, and will try to give reasonable notice where practical.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. If a change is material, we'll give notice (on the site or by message) before it applies. Continuing to use the Service after that means you accept the new terms.

15. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the federal laws of Canada that apply there. Courts in Toronto, Ontario have jurisdiction, except where the law of your country gives you the right to bring claims in your local courts.

16. General

If part of these terms is unenforceable, the rest still applies. Not enforcing a term isn't a waiver. These terms and the Privacy Notice are the whole agreement between you and us about the Service.
