Terms of Use

1.Introduction and Acceptance of These Terms

These Terms of Use (the “Terms”) govern your access to and use of BestSitesToBuy.com, including its pages, reviews, comparisons, guides, tools, forms and newsletters (together, the “Website”). The Website is operated by Best Sites To Buy (“we”, “us” or “our”).

By accessing or using the Website, you agree to these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Website.

These Terms should be read together with our Privacy Policy, which explains how we handle personal information, and our Disclaimer, which explains the limits of the information we publish.

2.About BestSitesToBuy.com

BestSitesToBuy.com is an independent research and review website. We research, compare and write about third-party providers, including social media growth services (for example, sellers of followers, likes, views or online reviews), marketing agencies, influencers and creators, software and AI tools.

We do not sell the services we review, and we are not a party to any transaction between you and a third-party provider. Unless we clearly state otherwise for a specific feature, any order, payment, delivery, refund or support request is a matter between you and that provider.

Some features of the Website may connect you with providers, such as our partner-matching form. When you use these features, we pass on the details you choose to share as described in our Privacy Policy, but any agreement you then make is directly with the provider.

3.Eligibility and Your Responsibilities

You may use the Website only if you are at least 18 years old, or the age of legal majority where you live if that is higher, and you are able to form a binding agreement. If you use the Website on behalf of a business, you confirm that you have authority to accept these Terms for that business.

When you use the Website, you are responsible for:

• providing accurate information when you contact us, subscribe or submit a form;
• keeping any information you receive from providers through the Website secure;
• deciding for yourself whether a provider, product or service is suitable for you; and
• complying with all laws and platform rules that apply to you, including the terms of service of any social media platform, review platform or marketplace whose accounts, content or reviews you manage.

4.Permitted and Prohibited Use

Subject to these Terms, you may view, read and share links to the Website for your personal or internal business research.

You must not, and must not help anyone else to:

• use the Website in a way that breaks any law or regulation, or infringes anyone else’s rights;
• copy, republish, sell or commercially exploit our reviews, ratings, data, screenshots or other content, except as allowed in Section 8 or with our written permission;
• scrape, crawl, harvest or bulk-download content or data from the Website by automated means, except for search engines indexing the Website for public search results;
• use Website content to train, fine-tune or build a dataset for any machine-learning or AI system without our written permission;
• attempt to gain unauthorised access to the Website, its servers or connected systems, or interfere with its security or normal operation;
• upload or transmit malware, spam or any harmful code;
• submit false, misleading or impersonating information through our forms, including false correction requests or review requests;
• misrepresent any affiliation with BestSitesToBuy, or suggest that we endorse you, your business or a provider when we do not; or
• use any form on the Website to send unsolicited marketing.

We may restrict or block access to the Website for anyone we reasonably believe has breached these Terms.

5.Accuracy, Completeness and Currency of Information

We aim to keep our research accurate and to record when information was checked. However, provider prices, packages, guarantees, policies, ownership and ratings can change at any time and without notice to us.

Content on the Website is provided for general information only. It may be incomplete, may not reflect the latest position, and may contain errors. Before relying on any information, you should check it directly with the provider and with any relevant platform.

Our ratings, verdicts and comparisons are editorial opinions based on the research described on the page at the time it was carried out. They are not statements of fact about any provider and are not guarantees of future performance.

If you believe something on the Website is inaccurate, please tell us through our contact page so we can review it.

7.Information and Communications You Submit

You may send us information through the Website, for example through our contact form, partner-matching form, newsletter sign-up, review requests or correction reports (“Submissions”).

You confirm that your Submissions are accurate, that you have the right to share them, and that they do not include unlawful, defamatory, confidential or infringing material, or anyone else’s personal information without permission.

If you send us suggestions, corrections or feedback about our content, you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free licence to use that feedback to review, correct and improve the Website, without any obligation to you. We decide whether and how to act on any Submission, and we may not respond to every message.

Personal information in Submissions is handled as described in our Privacy Policy.

8.Intellectual Property

Unless stated otherwise, the Website and its original content, including text, reviews, ratings, scoring methods, comparison tables, graphics, illustrations, screenshots we have annotated, the BestSitesToBuy name and logo, and the selection and arrangement of content, are owned by or licensed to Best Sites To Buy and are protected by intellectual property laws.

You may view the Website, print or save a reasonable number of pages for your own non-commercial reference, and quote short extracts with a clear credit and a link to the original page. Any other use requires our prior written permission.

Names, logos and trademarks of third-party providers and platforms that appear on the Website belong to their respective owners. We use them only to identify and discuss those businesses, and their use does not imply any affiliation with or endorsement by them.

If you believe content on the Website infringes your rights, please contact us through our contact page with enough detail for us to identify the content and assess your claim.

9.Third-Party Links and External Services

The Website contains links to websites and services operated by others. Some of these are affiliate links, which means we may earn a commission if you make a purchase after clicking them, at no extra cost to you. Our Disclaimer explains how commercial relationships work on the Website.

Linked websites are governed by their own terms and privacy policies, which we encourage you to read. We are not responsible for the content, availability or practices of any linked website, and a link is not an endorsement.

The Website may also rely on external services, for example to deliver content, protect against abuse or send newsletters. Your use of those services may be subject to the providers’ own terms.

10.Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the Website and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. We do not give any warranty, express or implied, that:

• the content is accurate, complete, current or suitable for your purposes;
• any provider, product or service discussed on the Website will meet your expectations or deliver any particular result; or
• the Website will be uninterrupted, secure, or free from errors, viruses or other harmful components.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits any warranty, guarantee or right that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited, including rights you may have as a consumer under the laws of the place where you live.

11.Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Best Sites To Buy and its owners, employees, contractors and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive loss or damage, or for any loss of profits, revenue, business, data, goodwill or account access, arising out of or relating to:

• your use of, or inability to use, the Website;
• your reliance on any content on the Website; or
• any product, service, transaction or communication between you and a third-party provider, including a provider you found or were matched with through the Website.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, our total liability to you for all claims relating to the Website will not exceed the amount you paid us, if any, for use of the Website in the 12 months before the claim arose.

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, such as liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for death or personal injury caused by negligence where that rule applies.

12.Indemnification

To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify and hold harmless Best Sites To Buy and its owners, employees, contractors and agents from claims, losses, liabilities and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) brought by a third party that arise from:

• your breach of these Terms;
• your misuse of the Website or its content; or
• your violation of any law or any third party’s rights.

This section does not apply to the extent a claim is caused by our own breach, negligence or misconduct, and it does not apply where the law where you live does not permit it, including where you use the Website as a consumer.

13.Website Availability and Changes to Content

We may update, change, suspend or remove any part of the Website, including reviews, ratings, rankings, features and forms, at any time and without notice. We may also re-test providers and change our conclusions.

We do not guarantee that the Website, or any particular page, will always be available. We are not liable if the Website is unavailable for any period, to the extent permitted by applicable law.

14.Privacy

Our Privacy Policy describes how we collect, use, share and protect personal information when you use the Website, including information you provide through our forms and newsletter, and how you can exercise any privacy rights you have.

15.Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms from time to time, for example to reflect changes to the Website, our business or the law. When we do, we will change the “Last updated” date at the top of this page and, where the changes are significant, we will take reasonable steps to bring them to your attention, such as a notice on the Website.

Changes apply from the date they are published unless stated otherwise. If you continue to use the Website after changes take effect, you accept the updated Terms. If you do not agree, please stop using the Website.

16.Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms, and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with them or the Website, are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which Best Sites To Buy is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

Subject to any mandatory rights you have, the courts of that jurisdiction will have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute. If you use the Website as a consumer, you may also have the right to bring proceedings in the courts of the place where you live, and nothing in these Terms affects any mandatory consumer protection rights that apply to you.

Before starting formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us so that we can try to resolve the issue informally.

17.General Provisions

• Entire agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Disclaimer, are the entire agreement between you and us about your use of the Website.
• Severability. If any part of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the rest will remain in effect, and the affected part will apply to the maximum extent permitted by law.
• No waiver. If we do not enforce any part of these Terms, that is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment. We may transfer our rights and obligations under these Terms, for example in connection with a sale or reorganisation of our business. You may not transfer yours without our written consent.
• Language. These Terms are written in English. If they are translated, the English version will prevail to the extent permitted by law.
