Terms of use

The website and its purpose

The Buyer’s Shelf publishes product research, comparisons and buying guides. The website operator can be contacted at [email protected]. These terms apply to use of this website. If you don't agree with them, don't use the site. They don't replace rights or protections that applicable law does not allow to be excluded.

Research is a starting point

Our content is general buying information, not a promise that a product will meet your particular needs. Read how we review and the disclaimer for the limits of our research-based approach.

Check specifications, compatibility, safety information, current price and retailer terms before purchasing. Product versions and availability may differ by market. We don't guarantee that every article, link or specification is complete, current or free from error.

Purchases from other businesses

We don't sell the reviewed products or take payment for them. A purchase made through an external link is with that retailer or seller, under its terms. Delivery, returns, refunds, product support and warranties are matters for the relevant seller or manufacturer.

Some external links may generate affiliate income. Our affiliate disclosure explains that relationship. Linking to another website doesn't make us responsible for its content, security or handling of information.

Permitted use

You may read, link to and use the site for lawful personal research. Don't attempt to access restricted administration features, interfere with the site's operation, introduce malicious code, impersonate the operator or use the site to violate another person's rights.

Permission to read a page doesn't transfer copyright or grant a licence to republish whole articles, images or diagrams. Quotation, fair use and other exceptions depend on applicable law. For a republication or commercial reuse request, contact us and identify the material involved.

Names, images and ownership

Product and brand names belong to their respective owners. Their appearance doesn't imply that a manufacturer endorses this publication. Some media may be licensed or supplied by third parties; we can only grant rights that we actually hold.

Messages and corrections

When you contact us, send accurate information and only material you have a right to share. A message doesn't require us to publish it or provide individual purchasing advice. Our privacy policy explains how correspondence is handled.

Availability and responsibility

The site may be interrupted, updated or withdrawn, and content may change as information is corrected. To the extent permitted by applicable law, we don't promise uninterrupted access or accept responsibility for losses caused by relying solely on general site information. Nothing here excludes liability or consumer rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

Changes and questions

We may revise these terms as the site changes. The updated date identifies the current text; revisions don't automatically change rights or obligations that arose under an earlier version. Contact [email protected] if you have a question about a term or believe content needs attention.
