Terms of Use

These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your access to and use of HonestPicks (the "Site"). By using the Site you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. Eligibility

The Site is intended for users who are at least 18 years old (or the age of majority in their jurisdiction). By using the Site you represent that you meet this requirement.

2. Editorial content is informational only

All reviews, rankings, comparisons, scores, and recommendations on the Site are provided for general informational purposes only. They reflect the opinions of our editorial team based on testing, publicly available data, and aggregated user feedback at the time of publication. They are not professional advice and are not a substitute for medical, legal, financial, electrical, or safety guidance from a licensed professional.

Always read manufacturer instructions and follow local regulations before purchasing or using any product featured on the Site, especially products involving electrical wiring, heating, energy systems, or health.

3. Third-party products and merchants

HonestPicks does not manufacture, sell, ship, warranty, refund, or otherwise stand behind the products featured in our content. Purchases are made directly with third-party merchants on their own websites and are governed by their terms, pricing, shipping policies, and warranties. We are not a party to those transactions and are not responsible for them.

4. Affiliate relationships

We participate in affiliate programs and may earn a commission when you click certain links and complete a qualifying purchase. This is described in detail in our Advertising Disclosure. Affiliate compensation never changes our editorial conclusions.

5. Pricing, availability, and accuracy

Prices, stock, specifications, promotions, and product features change frequently and are controlled by third-party merchants. We make reasonable efforts to keep information current but do not guarantee that any detail on the Site is accurate, complete, or up to date. Always confirm details on the merchant's site before buying.

6. Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Use the Site for any unlawful purpose or in violation of these Terms.
• Scrape, copy, republish, or redistribute substantial portions of our content without written permission.
• Attempt to interfere with the Site's security, performance, or access controls.
• Misrepresent your identity or impersonate any person or entity when contacting us.

7. Intellectual property

All text, graphics, logos, images, video, and the selection and arrangement thereof are the property of HonestPicks or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property laws. You may share short quotes for non-commercial purposes with proper attribution and a link back to the original article. Any other use requires prior written consent.

8. User submissions

If you send us feedback, suggestions, or testimonials, you grant HonestPicks a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, and publish that content (in whole or in part) for editorial purposes, with no obligation of compensation.

9. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available" without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. Use of the Site is at your own risk.

10. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, HonestPicks, its owners, employees, and contributors shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — including loss of profits, data, or goodwill — arising out of or related to your use of the Site, your reliance on its content, or any product purchased from a third-party merchant referenced on the Site.

11. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless HonestPicks from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your misuse of the Site or violation of these Terms.

12. Changes to the Site and Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any portion of the Site, and we may update these Terms at any time. Updated Terms become effective when posted. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the new Terms.

13. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which HonestPicks is operated, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles. Any disputes shall be resolved in the courts of that jurisdiction unless local consumer-protection law requires otherwise.
