Terms of Use

Licence to use the site

We grant you a personal, non-exclusive, revocable licence to read and use the content for your own non-commercial purposes — for example to inform a purchase or plan your home. You may share short extracts with attribution and a link back. You may not scrape, republish in bulk, resell, or use the content commercially without our written permission.

Intellectual property

Unless stated otherwise, the text, layout, graphics, calculators and original data on this site are owned by Spare Theory and protected by copyright and other laws. Product names, brands and logos belong to their respective owners and are used for identification only; their use does not imply endorsement.

Acceptable use

You agree not to:

• Attempt to disrupt, overload or gain unauthorised access to the site or its systems.
• Use automated tools to harvest content in ways that harm the site or breach its robots.
• Submit fraudulent feedback or impersonate others when contacting us.
• Reliably depend on the site for safety, and ignore professional advice — see our safety disclaimer.

No warranty

Content is provided “as is” and “as available”, for general information only, without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not warrant that information is complete, accurate or current, that prices and availability remain correct, or that the site will be uninterrupted or error-free. Product specifications and retailer terms are set by their owners and can change at any time.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Spare Theory shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special or consequential loss, or any loss arising from your reliance on the content or your use of any product or service. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited, including for death or personal injury caused by our negligence or fraud.

Third-party links and purchases

The site links to third-party retailers and services. Once you follow such a link, that provider's own terms and privacy policy apply to you, and we are not responsible for their products, transactions or content. Any purchase you make is a contract between you and that retailer; see our Affiliate Disclosure for how referral links work.

Changes to these terms

We may revise these terms; the version published here, with its “last updated” date, is the one in force. Continued use after a change means you accept the revised terms.

Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any dispute is subject to the courts of that jurisdiction — without affecting mandatory consumer-protection rights in the country where you live.
