Terms of service
These terms govern your use of gearexplained.com. GearExplained publishes technology buying guides, product information and compatibility research. In these terms, "we" and "our" refer to GearExplained. If you do not agree to these terms, please do not use the site.
Our editorial content
Our content helps you evaluate equipment and make buying decisions. It may draw on manufacturer documentation, independent testing and reported experiences. AI produces the research and writing, including product recommendations. Articles do not receive routine human editorial review or fact-checking. Read about our editorial approach.
A recommendation reflects the available evidence and the needs described in that article. It does not guarantee that a product will suit every use. Unless otherwise noted, GearExplained does not perform hands-on product testing. When an article draws on someone else's testing, it credits and links to the original source.
Some images, including article lead images, are created with AI and labeled as such. Product photos inside articles come from the manufacturer unless a caption says otherwise.
Compatibility, prices and product changes
Compatibility depends on the exact hardware, software and connected equipment. Read the source, date and setup details alongside a finding. Manufacturers may change a product, firmware or support policy after an article is published.
Prices and availability can change. Confirm the exact model, configuration, current price and return terms with the retailer before purchasing. Follow manufacturer instructions for installation and safe use. Articles do not replace those instructions or a product warranty.
Affiliate links and retailer purchases
Some links may earn GearExplained a commission when you make a qualifying purchase. As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases. Our affiliate disclosure explains how commercial relationships fit our editorial standards.
GearExplained is a publisher, not the seller of the products it covers. Retailers handle orders, payments, delivery, returns and refunds under their own terms. A link does not make us responsible for another website's content, security or services.
Using and sharing our work
You may read the site, link to our pages and share excerpts where applicable law permits. GearExplained and its licensors retain rights in their original writing, design and other protected material. Product names, trademarks and material credited to others belong to their respective owners.
Republishing full articles or using protected material beyond what the law allows requires permission from the relevant rights holder. Do not remove attribution, present our work as your own or imply an endorsement that we have not given.
Acceptable use
Do not disrupt the site, introduce malicious code, bypass access restrictions or attempt to obtain private information without authorization. We may restrict access when necessary to protect the site or respond to misuse.
Corrections and correspondence
Send corrections and permissions requests to editorial@gearexplained.com. Include the relevant page and supporting details. Send legal notices and questions about these terms to legal@gearexplained.com. Our privacy policy explains how we handle correspondence and visitor information.
Availability and limitations
We work to provide useful, accurate information, but errors and interruptions can occur. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of accuracy, completeness or uninterrupted access.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, GearExplained is not liable for indirect or consequential losses arising from use of the site or reliance on its content. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that the law does not allow us to exclude or limits your mandatory consumer rights.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes arising from these terms or your use of the site will be handled in the state or federal courts located in Kentucky. This does not remove any right you have under the law where you live to bring a claim in your local courts.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms as the site changes. The date above identifies the latest update. Changes apply from publication and do not retroactively remove rights that applicable law gives you. We will provide additional notice where required.
