Terms of use
Last updated: [DATE]
1. Acceptance of these terms
By accessing or using BuySignal (the "site"), you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the site. If you use the site on behalf of an organisation, you confirm you have authority to bind that organisation to these terms.
These terms incorporate our privacy policy and our affiliate disclosure by reference.
2. Who we are
The site is operated by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], [BUSINESS ADDRESS], [COUNTRY/STATE]. In these terms, "we", "us" and "our" mean that entity; "you" means the person using the site.
We are a publisher, not a retailer. We do not sell products, take payments, hold stock, ship goods, provide customer support for third-party products, or handle refunds. Any purchase you make is a contract between you and the merchant, on the merchant's own terms.
3. Permitted use and licence
We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to access and read the site for your own information, and to link to it freely.
You may:
- read, print and save pages for personal, non-commercial reference;
- link to any page on this site from anywhere, without asking;
- share links on social media and in newsletters;
- quote from the site within the attribution allowance below.
4. Intellectual property
All content on the site — text, editorial assessments, scores, structure, comparison tables, original photography and graphics, and the site's design and code — is owned by [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] or its licensors and is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws.
Third-party names, logos, product images and trademarks belong to their respective owners. They are used on this site for identification and editorial commentary only, which does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by those owners.
Quotation and attribution allowance
You may quote up to 90 words from any single page without asking, provided that you:
- attribute the quotation to BuySignal by name; and
- include a working, non-nofollowed hyperlink to the specific page quoted; and
- do not alter the meaning of the quoted text or present it as your own.
Anything beyond that — including syndication, translation, republication of whole articles, or systematic reproduction of our scores and comparison data — requires written permission. Ask via the contact page; we usually say yes to reasonable requests.
5. Prohibited uses
You must not:
- scrape, crawl or harvest the site by automated means beyond what our robots.txt permits, or at a rate that burdens our infrastructure;
- republish substantial portions of our content, in any medium, without written permission;
- train, fine-tune or build datasets for machine-learning systems from our content without written permission;
- misrepresent our work — attribute statements to us that we did not make, alter a score, present an outdated verdict as current, or imply we endorse a product we did not endorse;
- remove or obscure attribution, bylines, dates or disclosure notices when using permitted quotations;
- strip or rewrite our affiliate links, or substitute your own tracking identifiers in content taken from this site;
- interfere with the site — attempt unauthorised access, probe for vulnerabilities outside a responsible-disclosure report, introduce malware, or disrupt service;
- use the site unlawfully, or in a way that infringes anyone's rights.
We may block access to anyone breaching these restrictions, without notice.
6. No professional advice
Content on this site is editorial opinion and general information only. It is not, and must not be relied on as:
- financial, investment or tax advice;
- legal advice;
- medical, health or nutritional advice;
- any other form of professional or regulated advice.
No reader–adviser relationship is created by reading this site or corresponding with us. Before acting on anything you read here, consult a suitably qualified professional who knows your circumstances. Individual results from any product vary and depend on factors entirely outside our control.
7. Product information, pricing and availability
We take care to describe products accurately as at the date shown on each page, and we re-verify pages on a regular cadence. Even so:
- Prices change without notice. Any price shown here is indicative and may be out of date by the time you read it.
- Features, bonuses and bundles change. What a merchant included last month may not be included today.
- Refund windows and terms change, and are set by the merchant, not by us.
- Availability changes. Products are withdrawn, renamed, merged and discontinued.
Always confirm the current price, inclusions and refund terms on the merchant's official site before you buy. The merchant's checkout page governs, not ours.
8. Third-party links and affiliate relationships
The site contains links to third-party websites, including merchants and affiliate networks. Those sites are not under our control. We do not endorse, guarantee or accept responsibility for their content, products, security, availability or practices, and your dealings with them are solely between you and them.
Many outbound commercial links are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you buy — at no additional cost to you. This is explained in full in our affiliate disclosure, and our editorial independence is described in our editorial policy.
9. Disclaimer of warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by law, the site and all content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement.
We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that any content is complete, current or accurate. Nothing in these terms excludes a warranty that cannot lawfully be excluded, and some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, so parts of this section may not apply to you.
10. Limitation of liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, [COMPANY LEGAL NAME], its officers, employees and contributors will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or anticipated savings, arising out of or in connection with your use of the site or your reliance on its content — including any purchase you make from a third-party merchant — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability or otherwise, and whether or not we were advised of the possibility of such damages.
Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability arising from or relating to the site is limited to [AMOUNT, e.g. USD 100].
Nothing in these terms limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot lawfully be limited.
11. Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless [COMPANY LEGAL NAME] and its officers, employees and contributors from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your breach of these terms, your misuse of the site, or your infringement of any third-party right.
12. Changes to the site and to these terms
We may change, suspend or discontinue any part of the site at any time, including removing, updating or unpublishing content. We may also revise these terms; the revised version takes effect when posted, and the "last updated" date at the top will change. Material changes will be flagged on this page for a reasonable period. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
13. Governing law and jurisdiction
These terms and any dispute arising out of or in connection with them are governed by the laws of [COUNTRY/STATE], without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. You and we agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of [COUNTRY/STATE], except that either party may seek injunctive relief in any competent court to protect its intellectual property. If you are a consumer, this does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence.
14. Severability, waiver and entire agreement
If any provision of these terms is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary or severed, and the remaining provisions stay in full force. A failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of it. These terms, together with the privacy policy and the affiliate disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the site.
