Terms of Use
The ground rules for using SmartChoice Compare, including how we are paid and what our comparisons are.
Last updated October 21, 2026
What this site is
SmartChoice Compare publishes independent comparisons of consumer products. Everything here is editorial opinion based on public research: published third-party testing, expert reviews and manufacturer specifications. It is general information, not professional advice, and the decision about what to buy is yours.
How we are paid
As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.
Product buttons on this site lead to Amazon through our associate tag. If you buy something after clicking one, we may earn a commission. It costs you nothing extra and it does not change our rankings, our badges or what we say about a product. Nobody can pay to be included, reordered or praised. Our methodology explains this in full.
No prices, ratings or availability
We deliberately do not store or display prices, star ratings, review counts or stock levels. They change constantly and the only authoritative source is the retailer's own page. Nothing on this site is an offer to sell you anything: always confirm the current price and details with the link on each product before you buy.
Accuracy, opinions and changes
We work carefully, but specifications change and product lines are revised, rebundled and renamed. Comparisons reflect our judgement at the time of writing and may be updated, reordered or removed at any time. If you believe something here is wrong, tell us through the contact page and point us to the source.
Third-party sites and your purchase
When you follow a link to Amazon, your purchase is made with Amazon under Amazon's terms, not ours. We are not the seller and we cannot handle orders, deliveries, returns, warranties or refunds. Please contact Amazon for anything to do with an order.
Brand names and images
Brand names, model numbers, logos and product images remain the property of their owners and are used for identification and editorial comment. We claim no affiliation, sponsorship or endorsement by those brands, by Amazon, or by anyone else. Images on this site are licensed assets: manufacturer press images used with permission, or our own photography.
Using our content
You are welcome to read the site, link to it, and quote a short passage with credit. You may not copy whole pages, republish our comparisons or badges as your own, or use automated tools to harvest the site or its data. Do not attempt to disrupt or gain unauthorised access to the site.
No warranties
The site is provided as it is. We do not promise that it will always be available or free of errors, and we do not warrant any product. Always follow the manufacturer's instructions and safety guidance for anything you buy.
Limit of liability
To the extent the law allows, SmartChoice Compare is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from your use of this site or from a purchase decision you make. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law where you live.
Governing law and changes
These terms are governed by the laws of the state in which SmartChoice Compare is established. If we change these terms, we update the date at the top of the page, and continuing to use the site means you accept the current version.
