Terms of Use

1. Agreement to these terms

By accessing, browsing or otherwise using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy and Advertising Disclosure, which are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If you do not agree to them, please do not use the Site. If you are agreeing on behalf of an organisation, you confirm that you have the authority to bind it.

2. What this site is — and what it is not

BestTechTrend is an independent consumer research and review publication. We test, assess and rank consumer products, and we publish our opinion of them.

Because of this, we cannot help with order status, tracking, delivery, returns, refunds, exchanges, warranty claims, cancellations or technical support. Those belong to the seller. Our contact page explains how to find them.

3. Who may use the site

The Site is intended for adults. You may use it only if you are at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, and are legally able to enter into this agreement. It is not directed to children.

You may not use the Site where doing so would be unlawful in your jurisdiction, and you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you.

4. Our content and your use of it

We grant you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable and revocable licence to access the Site and to view, download and print its content for your own non-commercial use.

Except as that licence allows, you may not:

• Reproduce, republish, syndicate, sell or commercially exploit any part of the Site
• Copy our reviews, scores, rankings, comparison tables or images onto another site or into another publication
• Use our content to train, fine-tune or build a machine learning model or dataset without our written permission
• Remove or obscure any copyright, trademark or attribution notice
• Frame or mirror the Site, or present our content as your own

Short quotations with clear attribution and a link back to the source page are welcome. Anything more requires our written permission.

5. Reviews are opinion, not professional advice

Everything on this Site is general consumer information and our editorial opinion. It is not medical, health, safety, legal, financial, tax or other professional advice, and it is not a substitute for advice from a qualified professional who knows your circumstances.

Our scores and rankings reflect our judgement of the products we assessed, at the time we assessed them, against the criteria described in our review process. They are not guarantees of performance, suitability, safety or value, and reasonable people may disagree with them.

Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions and safety warnings for any product you buy, and consult an appropriate professional where your situation calls for it. Decisions you make based on our content are your own.

6. Affiliate relationships and advertising

The Site is funded by advertising and affiliate commissions. You should assume that outbound links to products, retailers and brands are commercial links, and that we may be paid if you click one and buy something. This costs you nothing extra.

Our Advertising Disclosure sets out in full how this works and what it does and does not influence. It forms part of these Terms.

7. Third-party links, merchants and transactions

The Site links to websites we do not own or control. We provide those links for convenience only. We do not endorse, monitor or vet those sites, their content, their products, their security or their business practices, and their inclusion is not a recommendation of the company behind them.

When you leave our Site, these Terms stop applying and the other company’s terms and privacy policy take over. Read them before you buy.

We are not responsible or liable for any dealing you have with a third party found through this Site, including any loss or damage arising from the purchase, delivery, use or failure of goods or services bought from them. Any complaint, claim or question about a product or an order must be directed to the company that sold it to you.

8. Accuracy, prices and availability

We take care to be accurate, but the Site may contain typographical errors, inaccuracies, omissions or out-of-date material. We reserve the right to correct, change or remove any content at any time without notice, and we are under no obligation to update it.

Prices, discounts, bundles, offers and stock levels change constantly and frequently without notice. Any such information here was believed accurate when published and may not be accurate now. The merchant’s own listing and checkout page is the only authoritative source for what you will pay and what you will receive.

Some material on the Site is historical and is kept for reference. It is not current and should not be relied on as if it were.

9. Acceptable use

You agree not to use the Site to:

• Break any law, or encourage or help anyone else to break one
• Infringe our intellectual property rights or anyone else’s
• Harass, abuse, threaten, defame, impersonate or discriminate against any person
• Submit false, misleading or deliberately deceptive information
• Upload or transmit any virus, worm or other malicious code
• Scrape, spider, crawl, harvest or bulk-download the Site or its content by automated means, except by a search engine obeying our robots directives
• Collect or track other people’s personal information
• Send spam, or use the Site for phishing, pharming or pretexting
• Interfere with, overload, disable or circumvent the security of the Site or the servers and networks behind it

We may investigate and take any action we consider appropriate for a breach of this section, including blocking your access and reporting you to the authorities.

10. Your submissions

If you send us a comment, question, review, suggestion, idea or other material (a “Submission”), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual and irrevocable licence to use, reproduce, edit, adapt, translate, publish and distribute it in any medium, in connection with the Site and our business.

You confirm that your Submission:

• Is yours to send, and does not infringe anyone’s copyright, trademark, privacy or other rights
• Is not unlawful, abusive, obscene, defamatory or otherwise objectionable
• Does not contain malicious code, and does not misrepresent who you are

We are under no obligation to keep a Submission confidential, to pay you for it, to respond to it, or to publish it. We may edit or remove any Submission at our discretion. You remain responsible for what you send us, and we accept no liability for material submitted by you or by any other person.

11. Intellectual property

The Site and its content — text, reviews, scores, rankings, photographs, graphics, video, layout, design, code and the compilation of all of it — are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark and other laws.

BestTechTrend, our logo, and our page and section names are our trademarks. Product names, brand names and logos belonging to other companies are the property of their respective owners and are used on this Site for identification and descriptive purposes only. Their use does not imply any affiliation with, sponsorship by, or endorsement from those owners.

If you believe material on this Site infringes your copyright, contact [email protected] with enough detail to identify the work and the page concerned, and we will investigate.

12. Privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains what personal information we collect through the Site, how we use and share it, how long we keep it, and the rights you have over it. By using the Site you acknowledge that policy.

13. Availability of the site

We may change, suspend, restrict or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time, with or without notice. We may also impose limits on certain features or restrict access to parts of the Site.

We do not guarantee that the Site will be available uninterrupted or error-free, and we are not liable to you or to anyone else for any change, suspension or discontinuation.

14. Disclaimer of warranties

The Site and all its content are provided “as is” and “as available”, without warranty of any kind, express or implied.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, timely, secure or error-free; that defects will be corrected; that the Site is free of viruses; or that the content, ratings, results or recommendations you obtain from it will be accurate, complete, current or reliable.

No advice or information you obtain from us creates any warranty not expressly stated here. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties, so parts of this section may not apply to you, and nothing here affects any statutory rights you have as a consumer that cannot be excluded.

15. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, neither BestTechTrend nor its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers or licensors will be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, savings, data, goodwill or business opportunity, arising out of or connected with your use of — or inability to use — the Site or its content, whether based in contract, tort (including negligence), strict liability or any other legal theory, and even if we have been advised that such damages are possible.

This includes, without limitation, any loss or damage arising from your purchase or use of a product you found through this Site, from any dealing with a third-party merchant, or from any error, omission or inaccuracy in our content.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, our total aggregate liability to you for all claims relating to the Site is limited to one hundred US dollars (US$100.00).

Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so parts of this section may not apply to you.

16. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless MY Publishing LTD. and its owners, directors, officers, employees, agents, contractors, suppliers and licensors from any claim, demand, loss, liability or expense — including reasonable legal fees — arising out of your breach of these Terms, your misuse of the Site, your Submissions, or your violation of any law or of the rights of any third party.

17. Termination

These Terms apply for as long as you use the Site. You may end them at any time by ceasing to use it.

We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, without notice, if we believe you have breached these Terms or that your use of the Site poses a risk to us or to others.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including sections 4, 10, 11 and 14 to 19 — continue to apply after it.

18. Governing law and disputes

These Terms, and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or to the Site, are governed by the laws of the State of Israel, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules.

You agree that the competent courts of Tel Aviv-Yafo, Israel have exclusive jurisdiction over any such dispute, and you consent to their jurisdiction and venue. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply.

Before starting formal proceedings, we ask that you contact us at [email protected] so that we can try to resolve the matter directly. If you are a consumer resident in the UK or EU, this section does not deprive you of the protection of the mandatory laws of your country of residence, or of your right to bring proceedings in your local courts.

19. General provisions

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held unlawful, void or unenforceable, it will be enforced to the maximum extent permitted and severed to the extent it cannot be. The remaining provisions stay in full force.

No waiver

Our failure to enforce any right or provision is not a waiver of that right or provision, and no waiver is effective unless made in writing by us.

Assignment

You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our written consent. We may assign them freely, including in connection with a merger, acquisition or sale of the Site.

Entire agreement

These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy and Advertising Disclosure, are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site, and supersede any earlier agreement or understanding on the subject. Any ambiguity will not be construed against us merely because we drafted them.

Headings

Section headings are for convenience only and do not affect the interpretation of these Terms.

20. Changes to these terms

We may update these Terms at any time by posting a revised version on this page and changing the “last updated” date. It is your responsibility to check periodically.

Your continued use of the Site after a change takes effect means you accept the revised Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using the Site.
