Terms of Use

The terms on which you use bestofcomponents.com. Plain language where possible, because terms nobody can read protect nobody.

Who these terms are with

These terms govern your use of bestofcomponents.com (“the site”), operated from Ireland by Best Of Components (“we”, “us”). By using the site you accept these terms. If you do not accept them, please do not use the site.

What the site is

The site publishes editorial buying guides, comparisons and explainers about computer hardware. It is general information and opinion, published in good faith. It is not professional, technical, financial or purchasing advice, and it is not a substitute for your own judgement about what suits your circumstances and budget.

Accuracy, prices and availability

Hardware specifications, prices and availability change constantly and often without notice. We take reasonable care to keep guides current and revisit them as products launch, get discontinued or get repriced, but:

  • Any price, specification or availability statement is a snapshot at the time of writing or last update, not a guarantee.
  • The final price, specification, warranty and returns position is whatever the retailer states at the point of sale. Always check there before buying.
  • Scores and recommendations are editorial judgements, not measured guarantees of performance. See our methodology.

We make no warranty that the site’s content is complete, accurate or up to date, and we do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free.

Affiliate links and third-party sites

The site contains affiliate links. If you click one and make a purchase we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you — see our affiliate disclosure.

Links take you to third-party websites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, their prices, their terms, their privacy practices, or for any transaction you enter into with them. Your purchase contract is with that retailer, not with us. Any dispute about an order, delivery, warranty, refund or return is a matter between you and the retailer.

Your use of the site

You may read, link to and share our content for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not:

  • Republish, sell or systematically copy our content without written permission.
  • Scrape, harvest or bulk-extract content or data from the site by automated means.
  • Attempt to interfere with the site’s operation or security, or gain unauthorised access to any part of it.
  • Use the site in any way that is unlawful or infringes anyone else’s rights.

Intellectual property

The written content, layout, design, and branding of the site are owned by us or used with permission, and are protected by copyright and other rights. Product names, logos and trademarks belong to their respective owners and are used descriptively, for identification only. Their use does not imply any endorsement of this site by those owners, or of those products by us beyond what a guide explicitly states.

Short quotations with clear attribution and a link are welcome.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the site or from reliance on its content — including any purchasing decision you make. This does not limit or exclude any liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded, and it does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.

Changes

We may update these terms as the site changes or the law does. The current version is always the one on this page, and material changes take effect when published here. We may also change, suspend or withdraw any part of the site.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Ireland, and the courts of Ireland have jurisdiction over any dispute arising from them. If you are a consumer resident elsewhere, this does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection law in your country of residence.

Marketing
