§ 1 Scope and provider

(1) These General Terms and Conditions (GTC) apply to all services of the directory service llmstxt.info, operated by:

Emanuele Fanizza
Hofsteder Straße 39 · 44791 Bochum, Germany
Email:

(hereinafter the “Provider”)

(2) The services of llmstxt.info are open to both businesses and organizations and private individuals. All customers are treated equally, regardless of whether they act commercially or privately.

(3) Conflicting or deviating terms of the customer are not recognized unless the Provider expressly agrees to their validity in writing.

§ 2 Description of services

(1) llmstxt.info operates a public directory of organizations that have implemented the llms.txt standard. The Provider enables organizations and their llms.txt files to be listed in this directory in order to improve discoverability by AI systems and language models.

(2) The following listing options are offered (details at /pricing/):

The respectively current prices are available exclusively at https://llmstxt.info/pricing/. The price list published there at the time the contract is concluded forms part of the contract.

(3) Customers from the Bronze tier upwards may specify a custom business category upon listing, which is shown in the profile in addition to the standard category. From the Gold tier, the custom category is shown as the primary label.

(4) The Provider monitors the availability of listed llms.txt files. If a file becomes permanently unreachable, the entry may be deactivated.

(5) The order of multiple Diamond entries in the directory rotates randomly on each page view, so that all Diamond customers receive statistically equivalent top exposure. There is no claim to a fixed rank 1 over other Diamond customers.

(6) There is no claim to particular positions in search-engine results or to citation by external AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini or similar). The positions described relate exclusively to the presentation within the llmstxt.info directory.

(7) AI Signal Kit (one-time €2.99, final price under § 19 UStG): an automatically generated, individual code and file kit (including structured data, Open Graph details, a robots.txt template, llms.txt/llms-full.txt) together with insertion instructions for the customer’s website. This is digital content provided immediately after receipt of payment; the right of withdrawal lapses once provision begins, provided the customer has expressly consented and confirmed their knowledge of the lapse (§ 356 (5) German Civil Code). The customer integrates the kit on their own website; no particular validation score or particular results in external AI systems are owed.

(8) Automatic feature on X (from the Gold tier): From the Gold tier, the customer’s entry is automatically featured on the Provider’s X profile (@llmstxtinfo) after successful activation. Scope and level of detail depend on the tier booked — from a brief mention to a more detailed feature. Only information from the public entry is published (in particular name, category and short description, and — if provided — the customer’s X handle as a mention). There is no claim to a particular reach, number of views or interactions, a fixed publication time or the permanent persistence of a post; publication depends on the availability and rules of the X platform. The Provider is entitled not to publish, to adjust, or to remove individual posts for objective reasons. The customer may object to the automatic feature already at the time of listing (opt-out) and warrants that they are entitled to provide the transmitted data and any X handle. Details on data processing are set out in our privacy policy.

§ 2.9 Community entries from public sources

In addition to self-listed (claimed) entries, the directory may contain community entries that the Provider creates on the basis of publicly available information. Such entries are marked as a “community entry” on the respective detail page, are limited to factual basic data (name/designation, publicly reachable address of the website or llms.txt, category), are not assigned to a paid tier and do not use any third-party brand assets (e.g. logos). They do not establish any business connection, recommendation or partnership between the Provider and the named third party.

Owners may at any time claim a community entry free of charge (manage/extend it) or have it removed via the “Remove entry” function on the detail page (notice and take-down). To protect against abusive removals, the specified email address receives a confirmation link; only after it is opened (proof of control over the domain’s mailbox) is the entry hidden. If the email domain does not match the entry’s domain, a prompt manual check is carried out. Details are governed by the privacy policy.

§ 3 Conclusion of contract

(1) The presentation of listing options on the website does not constitute a binding offer, but a non-binding invitation to order (invitatio ad offerendum).

(2) Free entries: The contract is concluded when the entry is activated by the Provider. The customer receives a confirmation by email, provided an email address was given.

(3) Paid entries: By selecting a paid tier and submitting the registration, the customer is forwarded to payment via the payment provider Stripe. By completing the payment, the customer submits a binding offer; the contract is concluded when the Provider confirms receipt of payment. The customer receives the confirmation and the invoice by email. The entry is activated after receipt of payment. Payment by bank transfer or PayPal is possible by individual arrangement; in that case the contract is concluded upon full payment and subsequent activation confirmation.

§ 4 Prices and payment

(1) The respectively valid prices are published at /pricing/. All prices apply without VAT pursuant to § 19 UStG (small-business rule).

(2) The fee is due for payment immediately upon conclusion of the contract. With Stripe, payment is made directly during the order process. If, exceptionally, payment by bank transfer is agreed, the amount is due within 14 days of invoicing.

(3) Accepted payment methods: credit and debit card and other payment types offered by Stripe via the payment provider Stripe; by individual arrangement also bank transfer (SEPA) or PayPal. Details on data processing during payment are in our privacy policy.

(4) In the event of late payment, the Provider is entitled to deactivate the entry until payment is received and to demand default interest at the statutory rate (§ 288 German Civil Code).

§ 5 Term of paid listings

(1) Paid entries are one-time payments with no automatic expiry date. The specific term and any renewal conditions are confirmed in writing on a case-by-case basis.

(2) Free (Standard) entries remain active indefinitely, as long as the listed llms.txt file is publicly reachable.

§ 6 Cancellation and deactivation

(1) The customer may request deletion of their entry at any time, informally by email to . Payments already made are generally not refunded upon early deactivation at the customer’s request, unless the Provider is responsible for the cause of the deactivation.

(2) The Provider is entitled to deactivate entries without prior notice if:

(3) In the case of culpable deactivation by the Provider (e.g. technical failure), the customer is granted a pro-rata credit upon request.

§ 6a Pro subscription (AI visibility monitoring)

(1) Service. The paid “Pro” subscription comprises ongoing, automated AI visibility monitoring: the Provider regularly checks the domain(s) specified by the customer across several AI systems and notifies the customer of changes in citation status. The specific scope (including check frequency, competitor tracking, multiple domains, history dashboard) is set out in the product description at llmstxt.info/monitoring. Monitoring is offered in the tiers Free (free of charge), Pro, Premium and API, which differ in number of domains, check frequency, competitor comparison, history/export and programmatic access (API); the scope booked results from the plan selection at order.

(2) Price & billing. The paid tiers cost: Pro €9.00/month or €79.00/year, Premium €29.00/month or €290.00/year, API €99.00/month or €990.00/year. The Free tier is permanently free. The Provider is a small business; pursuant to § 19 UStG no VAT is shown. The paid tiers are billed in advance via the payment provider Stripe; the amount falls due at the start of each billing period.

(3) Free trial. The subscription begins with a 14-day free trial. No payment is due during the trial. If not cancelled by the end of the trial, the subscription continues for a fee into the chosen term; the first charge occurs after the trial ends.

(4) Term & renewal. The minimum term is one month (for monthly billing) or one year (for annual billing). The subscription renews automatically for the respectively chosen term unless cancelled by the end of the term.

(5) Cancellation. The customer may cancel the subscription at any time to the end of the current term — conveniently online via the cancellation button at llmstxt.info/kuendigen (§ 312k German Civil Code) or informally by email to . Cancellation during the trial ends the subscription without any cost. Existing access remains usable until the end of the already-paid term.

(6) Right of withdrawal. Consumers have the right of withdrawal under § 10 of these GTC. Otherwise, the notes there on early commencement of performance apply accordingly. No guarantee of a particular AI citation or visibility is given (§ 9).

(7) Free tier. The free “Free” tier allows monitoring of one domain and viewing its GEO/visibility rating. It requires no payment, creates no payment obligation and can be ended at any time without notice. Automatic change alerts and the competitor comparison are reserved for the paid tiers.

(8) API access. The Premium and API tiers provide a personal API key for programmatic access (including domain rating, directory/discovery data, comparison). The key must be treated confidentially and not passed on to third parties; it is tied to a monthly call quota that is graduated by tier. The Provider may throttle or block access in the event of abusive use, exceeding the quota, or to maintain operational security. API access ends upon termination of the subscription or a switch to the Free tier.

§ 7 Customer obligations

(1) The customer undertakes to:

(2) The customer ensures that they are entitled to represent the listed organization and the linked llms.txt file, and that the listed content does not infringe third-party rights.

(3) The customer indemnifies the Provider against all third-party claims arising from a culpable breach of these obligations.

(4) Customer reviews: If the customer submits a review (testimonial), it must reflect their own truthful experience; no consideration is granted for submitting reviews. The Provider reviews submitted reviews prior to any publication — there is no claim to publication — and is entitled to display approved reviews with the stated name or company name on the website. Reviews with unlawful, offensive, misleading or evidently irrelevant content may be rejected or removed. The customer may withdraw their consent to publication at any time with effect for the future (a message to is sufficient).

§ 8 Limitation of liability

(1) Claims for damages by the customer are excluded, unless otherwise stipulated below.

(2) This does not apply to damages resulting from injury to life, body or health, nor to damages based on an intentional or grossly negligent breach of duty by the Provider or its vicarious agents.

(3) In the case of slightly negligent breach of essential contractual obligations (cardinal obligations), the Provider is liable for the foreseeable damage typical of the contract, limited to the amount paid by the customer for the relevant service.

(4) The Provider gives no guarantee of a particular availability of the service. A temporary outage does not give rise to a claim for damages, provided the Provider is not responsible for it.

(5) The Provider assumes no liability for the content of linked external websites.

(6) Liability for the absence of citations by external AI systems is excluded, as these are beyond the Provider’s control.

§ 9 AI visibility and ranking

The services described in this section relate to the technical optimization of your entry. No provider worldwide can guarantee particular results in external AI systems — this is not a limitation of our service, but the technical reality of these systems.

(1) The Provider takes all reasonable technical measures to make entries discoverable and parseable for AI systems. These include in particular:

(2) The decision on placement, citation or recommendation in external AI systems — including, but not limited to, Google AI Overview, ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude, Gemini, Bing Copilot and comparable services — lies exclusively at the discretion of the respective system operators. The Provider has no influence whatsoever over:

(3) The Provider expressly gives no guarantee that:

(4) Guaranteed placements — in particular the top-3 guarantee in the Platinum tier and the top rotation in the Diamond tier — relate exclusively to the internal presentation within the llmstxt.info directory and not to results in search engines or external AI services.

(5) The measures described in paragraph (1) constitute an obligation to use best efforts (duty of diligence) of the Provider, not an obligation to achieve a result. Customer claims for refund, reduction or damages due to absent or perceived-insufficient AI visibility are excluded, provided the Provider has fully rendered the technical measures under paragraph (1) and the cause lies in the conduct of external third parties.

(6) The Provider undertakes to inform customers transparently of material changes to the technical setup (e.g. new file standards, changed Schema.org types) and to adjust entries accordingly, insofar as this falls within the scope of the agreed service.

§ 10 Right of withdrawal for consumers
