Affiliate Relationships and Recommendations
9 Tides participates in affiliate programs and earns commissions when readers click affiliate links and make qualifying purchases. See our Affiliate Disclosure for full details. The presence of an affiliate relationship does not change our editorial standards: recommendations are based on what we believe is useful to readers, and we describe product limitations honestly.
No Warranty on Recommendations
The information on the Site is provided “as is” and for general informational purposes only. Product recommendations, reviews, and comparisons are based on research, publicly available information, and editorial judgment. They are not guarantees of product performance, accuracy, durability, or suitability for your specific use case. We strongly recommend that readers do their own research, verify current product details on the merchant’s site, and consider their individual circumstances before making purchases.
External Links
The Site contains links to third-party websites, including affiliate links to merchants and brand sites. We do not control these external sites and are not responsible for their content, privacy practices, or business practices. Links are provided for convenience and do not imply endorsement of any non-9-Tides site.
Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by law, 9 Tides, its editors, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with your use of the Site, even if advised of the possibility of such damages. This includes, but is not limited to, damages related to product purchases made based on Site recommendations, loss of profits, loss of data, or any other intangible loss.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless 9 Tides and its editors, contributors, and affiliates from any claims, losses, damages, or expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising from your use of the Site or any violation of these Terms.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time. When we do, we will update the “Last updated” date above. Continued use of the Site after changes constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the United States. Any disputes related to the Site or these Terms shall be resolved in the appropriate courts of the United States.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
