These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your use of theprepverdict.com (the “Site”), operated by The Prep Verdict (“we,” “us,” or “our”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms. If you don’t agree, please don’t use the Site.
1. The Site is informational, not professional advice
Content on this Site — including product reviews, buying guides, and comparisons — is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It is not professional emergency-management, medical, legal, or safety advice, and isn’t a substitute for guidance from a qualified professional or your local emergency-management authority. Preparedness needs vary by household, region, and situation; use your own judgment and consult qualified professionals or official sources (such as FEMA or your local emergency services) for guidance specific to your circumstances.
2. No guarantee of outcomes
We test products against a documented framework (see How We Test) and share our honest findings, but we cannot guarantee that any product will perform a certain way in an actual emergency, that a merchant’s stock, pricing, or specifications will match what’s described at the time you read an article, or that following our guidance will prevent harm, loss, or injury.
3. Affiliate relationships
Some links on the Site are affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase through them, at no extra cost to you. Full detail is in our Affiliate Disclosure, incorporated into these Terms by reference.
4. Intellectual property
Original content on the Site — text, graphics, and design elements we created — is owned by The Prep Verdict and may not be republished or reproduced without written permission, other than brief quotations with attribution. Product names, brand names, and logos referenced on the Site belong to their respective owners; our use of them is for identification and comparison purposes only and does not imply endorsement by those brands unless explicitly stated.
5. Third-party links and content
The Site links to third-party merchants and, occasionally, other resources. We don’t control those sites and aren’t responsible for their content, availability, pricing accuracy, or practices.
6. No warranties
The Site and its content are provided “as is,” without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including — to the fullest extent permitted by law — implied warranties of accuracy, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose.
7. Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, The Prep Verdict is not liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site or reliance on its content, including damages related to a product purchased through a link on the Site (subject instead to that merchant’s or manufacturer’s own warranty and return policies).
8. Changes to these Terms
We may update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
