These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the website ProductReviews.org (the “Site”) and the content, features, product reviews, ratings, and services provided therein (collectively, the “Services”).

By using the Services, you agree to these Terms, which form a binding agreement between you (“you” or “user”) and ProductReviews.org (“we”, “us”, or “our”). If you do not agree, immediately stop using the Services.

We may update these Terms at any time. For material changes, we will provide notice via email or a prominent notice on the Site. Your continued use after changes constitutes acceptance. Check this page periodically for updates.

2. License to Use the Services

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to access and use the Services for your personal, non-commercial purposes only, in accordance with these Terms.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Services. You agree not to:

You are responsible for all equipment, internet access, and costs associated with using the Services.

3. User-Submitted Content

You may submit reviews, ratings, comments, photos, or other materials (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content but grant us a worldwide, perpetual, royalty-free, irrevocable license to use, display, reproduce, modify, distribute, and promote it in connection with the Services.

You represent that your User Content:

We may remove or edit User Content at our sole discretion without notice. We do not guarantee display or use of your content and provide no backup services.

4. Your Account

If you create an account, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and all activities under your account. Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access.

Any feedback, suggestions, or ideas you provide about the Services become our property without compensation or obligation to you.

5. Intellectual Property

All content on the Services, including reviews, ratings, text, images, design, and software (“Our Content”), is owned by us or our licensors and protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws.

You may not reproduce, distribute, or create derivative works from Our Content without permission. No rights are granted except the limited license above.

6. Affiliate Links and FTC Compliance

The Services contain affiliate links to retailers (e.g., Amazon, BestBuy, Walmart). We may earn commissions from qualifying purchases at no extra cost to you. This supports our free reviews.

We comply with Federal Trade Commission (FTC) guidelines by disclosing affiliate relationships clearly. See our Affiliate Disclosure for details.

7. Third-Party Content and Links

The Services include links to third-party sites and content (e.g., retailer pages). We do not control or endorse them and are not responsible for their availability, accuracy, or practices.

Use third-party links at your own risk. Review their terms and privacy policies.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

The Services are provided “as is” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including accuracy, reliability, or fitness for a particular purpose.

We do not warrant uninterrupted access, error-free content, or virus-free Services. Your use is at your own risk.

9. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages arising from your use of the Services, even if advised of the possibility.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, losses, or damages arising from your use of the Services, User Content, or violation of these Terms.

11. Termination

We may suspend or terminate your access to the Services at any time, for any reason, without notice. Upon termination, your license ends, and certain sections survive (e.g., intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability).

12. Dispute Resolution

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of [e.g., Delaware], without regard to conflict of laws principles.

Any disputes shall be resolved through binding arbitration under the rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), on an individual basis (no class actions). You waive jury trial rights.

You may opt out of arbitration within 30 days by emailing us. Small claims court actions are permitted.

13. General

If any provision is invalid, the remainder remains in effect. We may assign these Terms; you may not without our consent.

No waiver of any breach is a waiver of subsequent breaches. Contact us at [email protected] for questions.
