Terms of Service

Last updated: April 10, 2026

Welcome to WorldPowerStats. These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the website worldpowerstats.com and any related content, tools, or services (collectively, the "Service") operated by WorldPowerStats ("we", "our", or "us"). Please read these Terms carefully before using the Service. By accessing or using any portion of the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms.

1. Acceptance of Terms

By visiting WorldPowerStats, browsing our comparison tools, reading our analytical articles, or otherwise interacting with the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Service. We may update these Terms from time to time, and continued use of the Service after changes are posted constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

You must be at least thirteen years old to use the Service. If you are under the age of majority in your jurisdiction, you must have permission from a parent or legal guardian to use the Service. If you are using the Service on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms.

2. Description of Service

WorldPowerStats is an educational and analytical platform that provides side-by-side comparisons of national military, economic, technological, and logistical capabilities. The Service includes interactive comparison tools, country profiles, the WorldPowerStats Power Index, written analysis, and supporting reference articles. All content is intended for general informational, research, and educational purposes.

The Service is not a defense intelligence product, an investment research tool, a military advisory service, or a substitute for professional analysis by qualified specialists. We are an independent research platform with no affiliation to any government, intelligence agency, defense contractor, or military organization. The data and visualizations on the Service are derived from publicly available open-source materials and should be treated accordingly.

3. Intellectual Property

All original content published on WorldPowerStats, including but not limited to text, graphics, layouts, logos, icons, images, software, the Power Index methodology, and the overall "look and feel" of the Service, is the property of WorldPowerStats or its licensors and is protected by international copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property laws.

You may view, download, and print pages from the Service for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you do not modify the content and that you preserve all copyright and proprietary notices. Any other use, including reproduction, modification, distribution, transmission, republication, display, or performance of the content, requires our prior written consent. Quotations of small portions of our analytical text are permitted for the purpose of commentary, criticism, or news reporting, provided that you attribute the source as "WorldPowerStats" and link back to the original page when used online.

Underlying numerical data presented on the Service originates from third-party open sources such as SIPRI, IISS, the World Bank, and the CIA World Factbook. Those datasets remain the property of their respective publishers and are subject to their own licensing terms.

4. User Conduct

When using the Service, you agree not to engage in any conduct that may damage, disable, overburden, or impair the Service, or interfere with any other party's use of the Service. Specifically, you agree that you will not:

5. Disclaimers

The Service is provided on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, WorldPowerStats disclaims all warranties, including but not limited to implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, and accuracy of information.

While we strive to keep the information on the Service accurate, current, and well-sourced, we make no representations or warranties regarding the completeness, reliability, or timeliness of any data presented. Military, economic, and technological figures change continuously, and even the most authoritative open sources contain estimates, gaps, and methodological differences. The Power Index and any rankings derived from it are analytical models, not statements of fact, and the relative weights used in the index reflect editorial judgment rather than absolute truth.

You should not rely on any information published on the Service as a sole basis for academic conclusions, professional assessments, financial decisions, military planning, or policy recommendations. Always consult primary sources and qualified professionals when accuracy is critical.

6. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall WorldPowerStats, its operators, contributors, affiliates, or licensors be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, including but not limited to damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses, arising out of or in connection with your access to or use of (or inability to access or use) the Service, regardless of the legal theory under which such damages are sought and even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties or the limitation of liability for certain types of damages, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law.

7. Third-Party Links and Advertising

The Service contains links to third-party websites and resources that are not owned or controlled by WorldPowerStats. We provide these links for convenience and reference only, and the inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement by WorldPowerStats of the linked site or any association with its operators. We have no control over the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third-party websites and we are not responsible for them.

The Service displays advertising delivered through the Google AdSense network and may contain links to third-party advertisers. Your interactions with advertisers, including the purchase of goods or services and any other terms, conditions, warranties, or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and the advertiser. WorldPowerStats is not responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings.

8. Modifications to the Service and Terms

We reserve the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue the Service or any part of it, temporarily or permanently, at any time and without notice. We also reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make material changes, we will update the "Last updated" date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms.

9. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless WorldPowerStats and its operators from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your access to or use of the Service, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any rights of another party.

10. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operators of WorldPowerStats reside, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any disputes arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in that jurisdiction. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining Terms shall otherwise remain in full force and effect.

11. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate or suspend your access to the Service at any time, without notice, for conduct that we believe violates these Terms or is harmful to other users of the Service, to us, or to third parties, or for any other reason in our sole discretion. Sections regarding intellectual property, disclaimers, limitations of liability, and indemnification shall survive any termination.
