These Terms of Use ("Terms") govern your use of smartjots.com (the "Site"), operated by SmartJots ("we", "us"), including the newsletter and comments. By using the Site, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy.
What our reports are, and are not
SmartJots reports organize and count what people said in public comment sections. They describe what commenters reported, recommended, or argued about. That does not mean we have tested a product, verified a claim, or endorse an opinion. Where we fact-check a claim, we say so in the report.
Reports are for general information only and are not medical, health, safety, legal, financial, or other professional advice. Comments about illnesses, treatments, products, chemicals, money, or jobs come from strangers and may be wrong or unsafe for you. Talk to a qualified professional before acting on anything you read here. Some content is prepared with the help of AI tools, and it may be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate.
Affiliate links
Some product links are Amazon affiliate links. As an Amazon Associate, SmartJots earns from qualifying purchases, at no extra cost to you. Affiliate relationships do not change which products appear in a report or how commenters' views are counted. Prices, availability, and product details are set by the seller and may change. Check them on the seller's site before you buy.
Membership and the newsletter
You may sign up with your email address to receive the newsletter and to comment. You are responsible for keeping access to your email account secure, because sign-in links are sent there. You can unsubscribe or delete your account at any time. We may suspend or remove accounts that break these Terms.
Comments
You keep ownership of what you post, and you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to display, store, and moderate it on the Site. Do not post content that is unlawful, harassing, hateful, or sexually explicit; that invades someone's privacy or shares their personal information; that infringes someone else's rights; or that is spam or advertising. We may edit or remove comments, and are not responsible for what other users post.
Acceptable use
Do not attempt to disrupt the Site, access accounts or data that are not yours, bypass access controls, or scrape the Site in a way that burdens it. Reasonable automated access that respects our robots.txt is permitted.
Intellectual property
Unless stated otherwise, the Site's reports, analysis, illustrations, design, and branding belong to us or our licensors. Quoted comments remain the work of their authors, and product names and logos belong to their owners. You may share links and brief quotations with attribution. You may not republish full reports, images, or datasets without our written permission. To report content you believe infringes your rights, email [email protected].
Third-party links and services
The Site links to and embeds third-party websites and services, including TikTok, Reddit, and Amazon. We do not control them and are not responsible for their content or practices. Your use of them is governed by their own terms.
Disclaimers
The Site is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, express or implied, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of data, profits, or goodwill, arising from your use of the Site. Our total liability for any claim relating to the Site will not exceed USD $100.
Governing law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Disputes will be resolved in the courts located in Santa Clara County, California, except where the law of your country of residence gives you the right to bring claims locally.
Changes
We may update these Terms from time to time. Changes take effect when posted on this page, and continued use of the Site after a change means you accept the updated Terms.
