Terms of Service

Last updated: 7 May 2026

Plain English summary

FluffyStack is a cloud service comparison tool. Everything is free, no sign-in is required, and the API is open. The data we provide is for informational purposes — always verify against the vendor's own documentation before making infrastructure decisions. Don't abuse the API or scrape the site. We can update these terms.

1. Acceptance

By using FluffyStack (fluffystack.dev) or the FluffyStack API (api.fluffystack.dev), you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the service.

2. What FluffyStack provides

FluffyStack is a comparison and governance tool for cloud services. We provide:

  • A catalogue of cloud services across multiple providers
  • Side-by-side service comparison
  • A Service Builder for assembling approved service lists
  • Policy file generation (AWS SCP, Azure Policy, GCP Org Policy, Terraform)
  • Migration mapping between providers
  • An API for programmatic access to the catalogue and policy generators

3. Data accuracy

Important

FluffyStack aggregates publicly available information about cloud services. While we strive for accuracy, cloud providers change their offerings frequently. Always verify service details, pricing, compliance certifications, and regional availability against the vendor's own documentation before making infrastructure or procurement decisions.

We make no warranty that the data is complete, current, or error-free. Service descriptions, pricing models, compliance certifications, and cross-provider equivalents are maintained on a best-effort basis.

4. Generated policy files

The AWS SCP, Azure Policy, GCP Organisation Policy, and Terraform files generated by FluffyStack are starting points, not production-ready policies. You are responsible for:

  • Reviewing every generated policy before applying it
  • Testing in a non-production environment first
  • Understanding the implications of deny-by-default policies
  • Ensuring the policy meets your organisation's specific security and compliance requirements

FluffyStack is not liable for service disruptions, access lockouts, or compliance failures caused by applying generated policy files without adequate review and testing.

5. API access

FluffyStack does not have user accounts. The public API at api.fluffystack.dev is open — no sign-in, no API key, no per-user authentication. (Versions 1.0–1.2 of the site briefly used GitHub / Google OAuth for sign-in and per-user API keys; both were removed in v1.3.0 in favour of an open API.)

By using the API you agree to:

  • Not abuse it — don't flood it with traffic, don't cycle through query permutations to bypass caching, don't use it to mine the catalogue for a competing service
  • Respect rate limits when they apply (mutation endpoints are capped per IP — see the help page for current numbers)
  • Not use automated tools to scrape the website when the API provides the same data
  • Attribute FluffyStack if you republish or build on top of the data

We may block specific IP addresses or networks at the Cloudflare edge for abuse, excessive load, or violation of these terms.

6. Intellectual property

The FluffyStack website, its design, code, and original content are owned by us. Cloud service names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here under nominative fair use for the purpose of identification in a comparison catalogue.

Data you export (service lists, policy files) is yours to use however you wish. We claim no ownership of your exported configurations.

7. Limitation of liability

FluffyStack is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind, express or implied. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

  • Inaccurate or outdated service information
  • Consequences of applying generated policy files
  • Service downtime or data loss
  • Decisions made based on FluffyStack data
  • Any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages

8. Acceptable use

You may not:

  • Use the service for any unlawful purpose
  • Attempt to gain unauthorised access to the API or database
  • Interfere with the service's operation or other users' access
  • Reverse-engineer the API for the purpose of building a competing service
  • Misrepresent FluffyStack data as your own original research

9. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms from time to time. Material changes will be noted with a new "Last updated" date at the top. Continued use of the service after changes constitutes acceptance. If you disagree with updated terms, please stop using the service.

10. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales. Any disputes will be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of England and Wales.
