Terms of use
These terms are written to be read. They explain what ZVBoard is, how accounts and listings work, and what you can expect from us. Anything unclear? Write to tourisain@163.com.
What this site is
ZVBoard is a directory of software tools, with a set of leaderboards. Listing and reading are free. A leaderboard is our editorial view — not a recommendation, and not advice.
We count visits ourselves: we do not store your raw IP address, and we do not use any third-party analytics. By using the site you agree to these terms; if you do not agree, please do not use it.
Accounts and tiers
Registration is closed. Accounts are created by the site admin, who sends you a one-time password; you can raise your tier later by entering an activation code on your account page.
Each tier gives a fixed weekly submission quota and a base number of votes:
- Producer — 1 submission per week, 1 vote.
- Applicant — 3 submissions per week, 2 votes.
- Reviewer — 5 submissions per week, 3 votes.
Submitting a product adds 1 vote. Quotas reset each week, on Monday at 00:00 UTC. A tier only changes these fixed amounts — it can never buy a position.
Submitting a listing
You must be signed in to submit a product. When you submit, you may tick "apply for featured placement" or "apply for a sponsor slot" — that is an intention only, and whether it is granted is our decision.
Rank is not for sale. No payment can change a position, a vote or a decision. Paid options, where offered, affect placement or review speed only, and they are always labelled.
Listings, names and badges
We may refuse or remove a listing that does not meet our requirements, and we may remove content that breaks these terms.
Product names and logos are shown only to identify the products listed; this is not a claim of ownership or endorsement. A listed product may embed the badge we generate — used as provided, and linking back to its page.
Leaderboards
Only official votes count towards a position; reference votes are shown for information and never count. Boards have fixed caps: latest listings have no cap; all-time popular, 2000; monthly popular, 200; featured and sponsor, 100.
What we do not promise
Information on this site may change or be inaccurate — for a product's own details, its official site is authoritative. The site is provided "as is", and we may update these terms; the current version always lives at this address.
Changes and contact
Questions, including take-down or listing requests, go to tourisain@163.com. How we handle personal data is set out in the privacy policy.
