By accessing or using the Site — including browsing, creating an account, submitting a review, clicking an affiliate link, or using any AI tool — you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy.
If you are using the Site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms, and references to "you" shall include that organisation.

This consent is given at the point of account creation. The newsletter opt-in checkbox on the registration form is pre-checked by default. You may uncheck it during registration to decline, or unsubscribe at any time after registration.
What we send: New store reviews · Buying guides · AI tool updates · Site announcements. We do not send paid promotional emails on behalf of third parties.
- EU/UK residents: Pre-checked consent on a registration form constitutes valid consent under GDPR Article 6(1)(a) provided the checkbox is clearly labelled and the user is informed of what they are consenting to — which this page fulfils. You may withdraw consent at any time without affecting the lawfulness of processing prior to withdrawal.
- CAN-SPAM compliance: Every commercial email includes our physical mailing address, a clear subject line, and a functional unsubscribe mechanism that processes requests within 10 business days.
- CASL (Canada): Canadian residents' registration constitutes express consent as defined by CASL s.10. Consent is time-unlimited unless withdrawn.

The arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless both parties agree otherwise. Judgement on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
We may update these Terms at any time. For material changes — changes that significantly affect your rights or obligations — we will notify registered users by email at least 14 days before the change takes effect, and display a prominent notice on the Site.
