Terms of Service

By accessing the Agentic Readiness Index at joinnextdev.com/labs, reading the methodology, downloading the harness, or contacting us about a benchmark, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, do not use the Index.

Nextdev Labs is an independent research effort that benchmarks how well AI coding agents can use third-party developer APIs. The Index publishes per-vendor scores, grades, methodology, and the open-source harness used to produce them.

All benchmarks are designed to be reproducible. The grader, harness, and reference solutions are open source. If you reproduce our results and get materially different numbers, contact us — we treat that as a methodology bug, not a dispute.

If you submit benchmarks, reference solutions, failure modes, or methodology improvements to Nextdev Labs (by PR, email, or otherwise), you grant Nextdev a perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free license to use, modify, publish, and incorporate that material into the Index and harness. You confirm you have the rights to grant this license.

The harness at github.com/nextdev-extension is published under its repository's LICENSE file. Refer to that license, not these Terms, for how you may use the harness code itself.

All content on the Index — page copy, layout, brand, methodology prose, score displays — is owned by Nextdev, Inc. except where indicated. Vendor names, logos, and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used here for the limited purpose of identifying the entity being benchmarked.

The Index is research output, not professional advice. Scores reflect agent performance on a defined task set at a defined moment in time. You are responsible for your own integration decisions; do not treat a score as a recommendation, endorsement, or fitness guarantee for any vendor.

The Index is provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Index is error-free, that scores will not change, or that the harness will run successfully in any given environment.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Nextdev, Inc. and its officers, employees, and affiliates are not liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of your use of the Index, including loss of profits, data, or business — even if advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability for any direct damages is capped at USD 100 or the amount you paid us in the prior twelve months, whichever is greater.

You agree to defend and indemnify Nextdev against claims arising from your misuse of the Index, your violation of these Terms, or your infringement of any rights of a third party.

We may update these Terms at any time. Material changes will be announced on the site or via email. Continued use after a change constitutes acceptance.

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Index for breach of these Terms or to protect the integrity of the service.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, USA, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Disputes will be resolved in the state or federal courts located in Delaware.
