Terms of Service

1. What This Site Is

StackScored (stackscored.com) is a free content site that publishes product reviews, pricing comparisons, and interactive tools for software and technology products. It is operated by a sole proprietor.

By using this site, you agree to these terms. If you disagree, please stop using the site. There is no account to create and no contract to sign — these terms govern your browsing.

2. What We Provide

We provide:

• Product reviews with scored ratings based on published methodology
• Pricing comparisons using data collected from vendor websites
• Interactive tools (calculators, comparison tables) to help evaluate products
• Affiliate links to vendor websites where you can purchase products

We do not sell any products or services directly. We are an informational resource.

3. Accuracy and Limitations

Pricing data: We collect pricing information from vendor websites through automated daily updates. Prices change frequently. We make reasonable efforts to keep data current, but we cannot guarantee real-time accuracy. Always verify prices on the vendor's website before purchasing.

Reviews and ratings: Our reviews reflect our analysis based on the methodology described on each review page. They are opinions informed by data, not guarantees of product quality. Your experience may differ.

No professional advice: Our content is informational. It is not financial, legal, or professional advice. Make purchasing decisions based on your own evaluation.

4. Affiliate Relationships

This site earns revenue through affiliate commissions. When you click an affiliate link and make a purchase on a vendor's website, we may receive a commission at no additional cost to you.

Our affiliate relationships do not influence our ratings. For full details, see our Affiliate Disclosure.

5. Intellectual Property

All original content on StackScored — including reviews, analysis text, scoring methodology, page designs, and interactive tools — is our intellectual property and is protected under the Berne Convention and applicable copyright law.

You may:

• Link to our pages freely
• Quote brief excerpts with attribution and a link back to the source page

You may not:

• Reproduce our content in bulk (e.g., scraping our reviews for republication)

Automated access (bots, scrapers) must respect our robots.txt file. We reserve the right to block access from IP addresses that abuse the site.

7. Third-Party Links

This site links to third-party websites (vendors, affiliate partners, documentation). We are not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or terms of those sites. When you click an external link, you leave StackScored and that site's terms apply.

8. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, StackScored and its operator are not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of this site or reliance on its content.

This limitation applies to: purchasing decisions made based on our reviews, pricing data that may be outdated, affiliate links that may lead to products that do not meet your expectations, or temporary unavailability of the site.

Jurisdiction-specific notes:

• EU/UK: Nothing in these terms excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, fraud, or any liability that cannot be excluded under EU or UK consumer protection law.
• Brazil: Under the Consumer Defense Code (CDC Art. 51), clauses that are deemed abusive or that unduly limit consumer rights may be unenforceable. This limitation of liability is intended to be interpreted consistently with Brazilian consumer protection standards.

9. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws applicable in the jurisdiction of the site operator's residence. However, if you are a consumer in the EU, UK, Brazil, or another jurisdiction with mandatory consumer protection laws, nothing in these terms overrides the protections guaranteed to you by the laws of your country of residence.

10. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting the revised version on this page with a new "Last updated" date. Since there are no user accounts, continued use of the site after changes constitutes acceptance. Material changes will be prominently noted.
