Welcome! By using CucuMe's search engine ("CucuMe lookup service") or other CucuMe services ("CucuMe Service"), you agree to be bound by the following terms and conditions (the "Terms of Service").
CucuMe provides users with a list of websites which it has determined is relevant to some other website which a user is looking at. Typically, a user will point his browser at a website, and the browser (possibly using a plug-in or other software) will ask CucuMe for the list of relevant sites.
Additionally, CucuMe provides summary information to owners of websites regarding the performance of its links. It also provides a range of other information, support services, newsletters, and the like.
The sites reported by or referenced by the CucuMe Service are developed by people over whom CucuMe exercises no control. The results that appear from CucuMe's indexes are indexed by CucuMe's automated machinery and computers, and CucuMe cannot and does not screen the sites before including them in the indexes from which such automated results are gathered. CucuMe may produce links to sites that some people find objectionable, inappropriate, or offensive. We cannot guarantee that CucuMe will not locate unintended or objectionable content and assume no responsibility for the content of any site included in any results or otherwise linked to by the CucuMe Services. The reporting of a site by CucuMe is not a reccommendation for that site.
The foregoing notwithstanding, CucuMe is under no obligation to index or to report in results each and every website or webpage which requests a listing. CucuMe may collect data from sources, including analysis of the website or webpage, analysis of 3rd party websites, manually generated complaints, and its own research in determining whether to report and when to report any website or webpage.
The CucuMe lookup service is made available for your personal, non-commercial use only. You may not use the CucuMe lookup service 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 CucuMe lookup and reformat and display them, or mirror the CucuMe home page or result lists on your Web site. You may not "meta-search" or "scrape" CucuMe. You may not reproduce, duplicate, copy, sell, trade, resell or exploit for any commercial purposes, any portion of the CucuMe service, use of the CucuMe service, or access to the CucuMe service.
If you want to make commercial use of the CucuMe lookup service, you must enter into an agreement with CucuMe to do so in advance. Please contact us for more information.
You may not send automated queries of any sort to CucuMe's system without express permission in advance from CucuMe. Note that "sending automated queries" includes, among other things:
- using any software which sends queries to CucuMe to determine how a website or webpage "ranks" on CucuMe for various queries;
- "meta-searching" CucuMe;
- using software to make repeated requests of CucuMe's automated servers,
- "scraping" or other trawling of CucuMe's website and indexes,
- requests which are unreasonably repetitive or systematic, and
- performing "offline" searches on CucuMe.
Please do not write to CucuMe to request permission to "meta-search" CucuMe for a research project, as such requests will not be granted.

CucuMe occasionally receives requests from people to remove links from its indexes. Although CucuMe reserves the right to address such requests individually, the general approach that CucuMe takes reflects the following principles: CucuMe's indexes consist of information that has been identified, indexed and compiled through an automated process with no advance review by human beings. That process is driven by the owners of the individual websites being indexed. Given the enormous volume of web site information added, deleted, and changed on a frequent basis, CucuMe cannot and does not screen anything made available through its indexes.
Every website owner has the ability to remove his website from our indexes. Third parties who believe a website is offensive, libellous, or illegal for some other reason must in the first instance approach the owner of the website. CucuMe will entertain requests from a complainant to remove a website from our indexes only in the following circumstances:
- When the complainant has a court judgement or other instrument from a competent authority determining that the website is offensive, libellous, or illegal for some other reason, and
- When the complainants reasonable efforts to persuade the website owner to remove his website from our indexes or from the Internet have failed.
Under no circumstances will CucuMe referee or otherwise stand in judgement in a dispute between a complainant and a website owner.
Website owners may request removal of their page from the CucuMe results. CucuMe evaluates such requests for the removal of content as part of its automated processing, and does not guarantee that every request will be granted in a timely manner.
The CucuMe service is provided in Scotland, and these Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Scotland. Users of the CucuMe service who are located in some other country or state will be regarded as using the service in Scotland, and Scottish law will apply. Users of the service take full responsibility for, and hereby indemnify CucuMe Ltd, its agents or employees from any liability for the importation of goods, services and data obtained directly or indirectly through the CucuMe service. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision or portion of the Terms of Service to be unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
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 CucuMe.
