The terms that apply to using ScienceBases.
What this site is
ScienceBases is an independent editorial publication. We publish science explainers and editorial assessments of products and services sold to families, students and educators. Nothing here is medical, legal or financial advice, and nothing here is a substitute for advice from a qualified professional in your own situation.
Affiliate links
Some pages carry affiliate links. If you click one and buy something, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. A commission never affects what we write or whether a product appears on the site. Pages that contain affiliate links say so on the page itself.
Our editorial independence
Vendors do not review content before publication, and no vendor has paid for coverage. Where an assessment is based only on published documentation, the page says so, including where a claim remains unverified.
Accuracy and corrections
We correct errors when we find them and note what changed. Prices, plan terms and product features change; each assessment carries the date its documentation was checked.
Third-party links
Pages may link to other sites we do not control. We are not responsible for their content, their policies or how they handle your data.
Your use of this site
You may read, link to and quote from these pages with attribution. Please do not scrape the site in bulk, republish whole articles, or use the content in a way that suggests we endorsed the product or service being discussed.
Liability
The content is provided as is. We are not liable for decisions you make based on it, for a product behaving differently from its published terms, or for any loss arising from your use of a third-party site we link to.
Privacy
Our privacy policy sets out what we collect and why. We do not sell personal data.
Changes and contact
We may update these terms as the site changes; the date at the top of the page is the last revision. Questions go to our contact page.
