Terms of Service

Effective date: July 28, 2026  ·  An IANternet Media project

1. About GiggityRepo

GiggityRepo ("we," "us," or "our") is a GitHub repository discovery and ranking service operated by IANternet Media. The service indexes publicly available GitHub repositories, computes proprietary ranking and credibility scores, and presents them through a web interface at giggityrepo.com.

GiggityRepo is an independent project and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by GitHub, Inc. or Microsoft Corporation.

2. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using GiggityRepo (the "Service"), you confirm that you are at least 13 years of age and agree to these Terms of Service ("Terms"). If you are using the Service on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. We will note the effective date at the top of this page.

3. Use of the Service

3.1 Permitted Use

You may use GiggityRepo to:

• Browse, search, and discover open-source GitHub repositories
• View ranking data, Signal Scores, and trend information
• Link to individual repository pages from third-party sites
• Use the information for personal, educational, or commercial research purposes

3.2 Prohibited Use

You may not:

• Scrape, crawl, or systematically download content from the Service in ways that exceed normal browsing behaviour or that place unreasonable load on our infrastructure
• Use automated tools to make repeated requests to our API endpoints without prior written permission
• Attempt to reverse-engineer, decompile, or extract our proprietary scoring algorithms beyond what is disclosed in our public documentation
• Use the Service to harass, defame, or misrepresent any individual, organisation, or open-source project
• Circumvent or interfere with any security, rate-limiting, or access-control mechanisms
• Use the Service in violation of any applicable law or regulation
• Represent GiggityRepo data as originating from GitHub or any other third party

4. Signal Score and Ranking Data

4.1 Nature of Scores

GiggityRepo computes a proprietary Signal Score for each tracked repository. This score is a heuristic estimate of repository credibility and engagement quality, derived from publicly observable factors including contributor activity patterns, star growth curves, commit frequency, and code-to-fork ratios.

Signal Scores and ranking positions are algorithmic outputs, not editorial judgements. They do not constitute endorsement, certification, security auditing, or professional advice of any kind.

4.2 Accuracy and Limitations

Repository data is sourced from the GitHub public API and is updated on an hourly basis. We make no guarantee that:

• Rankings, star counts, or contributor figures are current or accurate at any given moment
• The Signal Score correctly identifies inauthentic engagement in all cases
• Any particular repository is safe, well-maintained, or suitable for production use
• The Service is free from errors, omissions, or data gaps

Do not make security, investment, hiring, or procurement decisions based solely on GiggityRepo data. Always conduct your own due diligence.

4.3 Disputes Regarding Scores

If you believe a repository has been incorrectly scored or categorised, you may contact us at the address listed in Section 11. We review disputes on a best-effort basis but are not obligated to change any score or ranking.

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Our Property

The GiggityRepo name, logo, design, scoring methodology, source code (where not separately open-sourced), and compiled ranking databases are the property of IANternet Media. You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from these materials without our written consent.

5.2 Third-Party Data

Repository names, descriptions, statistics, and associated metadata displayed on GiggityRepo are sourced from GitHub's public API and remain the property of their respective owners. We display this data under GitHub's Terms of Service for API consumers. GiggityRepo does not claim ownership of any repository, its code, or its associated trademarks.

5.3 Open-Source Components

GiggityRepo is built on open-source software. Where applicable, the licences of those components govern their respective code and remain in full effect.

6. Availability and Changes

We provide the Service on an "as is" and "as available" basis. We reserve the right to:

• Modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without prior notice
• Add or remove tracked repositories, scoring factors, or ranking boards
• Impose usage limits to protect service stability

We will endeavour to maintain reasonable uptime but do not guarantee any specific level of availability.

7. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, GiggityRepo and all its content are provided without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

We do not warrant that the Service will be error-free, uninterrupted, secure, or that defects will be corrected.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, IANternet Media shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or related to your use of the Service, including but not limited to loss of profits, data, or goodwill, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Our total aggregate liability to you for any claims arising from these Terms or your use of the Service shall not exceed USD $100 or the amount you paid us in the twelve months preceding the claim, whichever is greater.

9. Links to Third-Party Sites

GiggityRepo contains links to GitHub repository pages and other external websites. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or availability of any third-party site. Accessing third-party sites is at your own risk.
