Terms of Use

1. Acceptance and scope

These Terms of Use govern access to Buyer Checkpoint (“Site”) and its free articles, comparisons, buying checklists, calculators and My Buying Desk. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site. The publisher and legal contact information can be found on the Contact & Legal Information page.

2. Informational website, not a seller

Buyer Checkpoint publishes general product-research information. We do not operate an online store, take payment for recommended products, process retail orders or act as an authorized agent of Amazon or other merchants. Any purchase you choose to make takes place with the linked seller under that seller’s prices, return conditions, delivery arrangements, warranties and policies.

3. Technical information and professional advice

We seek accurate, timely and useful information, but equipment models, specifications, standards, pricing, stock and compatibility can change. Content may contain errors or become outdated. Our scores, verdicts and calculators are editorial decision aids, not certifications, guarantees or complete engineering assessments.

For electrical wiring, generator transfer systems, lifting equipment, refrigeration, food-safety equipment, underground inspection or other safety-critical work, consult the manufacturer, current technical documentation, applicable codes and a qualified local professional. Do not perform hazardous installation or modification based only on an article or a calculator.

4. Interactive tools and local information

My Buying Desk helps you save guides, compare options and create summaries. Its current saved information is stored in your browser; it can be lost if you clear site data, use another device, browse privately or disable local storage. You are responsible for maintaining your own copies of important notes and checking any assumptions you enter. A “fit check” result does not warrant that a product will fit or meet safety or legal requirements.

5. Intellectual property and permitted use

Unless otherwise stated, Buyer Checkpoint’s original text, diagrams, styling and editorial material are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. You may view, print or save reasonable portions for personal, noncommercial research with attribution. You may not republish substantial portions, remove copyright notices, scrape the Site at abusive scale, or misrepresent our material as your own without permission, subject to statutory exceptions. Third-party trademarks and product names belong to their respective owners.

6. Third-party links and affiliate commissions

Third-party links are supplied for convenience and research. Their inclusion is not a warranty or endorsement of every seller or offer. Retailers and other providers are responsible for their own websites and transactions. Some links may generate compensation; see Affiliate Disclosure.

7. Responsible use

You must not attempt to disrupt the Site, bypass access controls, inject malicious code, submit unlawful material or interfere with other visitors. We may change or discontinue features and correct or remove content as appropriate.

8. Availability, warranties and liability

The Site is made available on an “as available” basis. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, we do not guarantee uninterrupted access or that any particular buying outcome will be achieved. Nothing in these Terms excludes or restricts rights, remedies or liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including mandatory consumer protections and liability for intentional misconduct where exclusion is prohibited. Any limitation of liability applies only to the extent permitted by the law governing the particular claim.

9. Governing law and disputes

The publisher is established in France. Subject to mandatory rules protecting users or consumers in their place of residence and any overriding applicable law, these Terms are governed by French law. Disputes will be addressed in the courts competent under applicable jurisdiction rules. These Terms do not create mandatory arbitration or eliminate any rights that cannot lawfully be waived.

10. Updates and contact

We may update these Terms as our services and legal obligations change; the current version will carry an updated date. Questions can be emailed to buyercheckpoint@protonmail.com or sent through the information listed on our Contact & Legal Information page.
