Terms & Conditions
The Short Version
Our content is for informational purposes — do your own research before buying. Don’t copy our content without permission, don’t misuse the site, and remember that purchases happen on retailers’ sites under their terms, not ours.
1. Acceptance of These Terms
These Terms & Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the ClickyBoard website (“the Site”). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, please do not use the Site.
2. About ClickyBoard
ClickyBoard is an editorial website that publishes reviews, guides, and other content about mechanical keyboards, switches, keycaps, and accessories. We do not sell products directly. Our Shop section and product links direct you to third-party retailers, where any purchase is governed by that retailer’s own terms and policies.
3. Informational Content Only
All content on ClickyBoard — including reviews, ratings, buying guides, tutorials, and product recommendations — is provided for general informational purposes only. While we work hard to keep our content accurate and up to date:
- Product specifications, prices, and availability change frequently and are controlled by manufacturers and retailers, not by us. Always verify details on the retailer’s site before purchasing.
- Our reviews and ratings reflect our opinions and testing experience. Your experience with a product may differ.
- Modding tutorials (such as lubing switches, soldering, or firmware flashing) are followed at your own risk. Modifying hardware may void manufacturer warranties or damage your equipment.
4. Affiliate Links
The Site contains affiliate links. If you click an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. This is explained in full in our Affiliate Disclosure. Any transaction you complete with a retailer is solely between you and that retailer; we are not a party to it and are not responsible for the products, pricing, shipping, returns, or customer service of any third-party seller.
5. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise noted, all content on the Site — including text, reviews, guides, graphics, logos, photographs, and site design — is owned by ClickyBoard and protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may:
- View, share, and link to our content for personal, non-commercial purposes.
- Quote brief excerpts with clear attribution and a link back to the original page.
You may not reproduce, republish, scrape, or redistribute our content in substantial part — including for commercial use or AI training datasets — without our prior written permission. Product names, brand names, and trademarks mentioned on the Site belong to their respective owners; their use here is for identification and review purposes only and does not imply endorsement or affiliation.
6. Acceptable Use
When using the Site, you agree not to:
- Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, its servers, or connected systems.
- Use automated tools to scrape or harvest content or data at scale.
- Interfere with the Site’s operation, including introducing malware or attempting denial-of-service attacks.
- Impersonate ClickyBoard or misrepresent your affiliation with us.
- Use the Site for any unlawful purpose.
8. Third-Party Links and Content
The Site links to third-party websites, including retailers, manufacturers, and embedded content platforms such as YouTube. We do not control these websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, policies, or practices. Visiting third-party sites is at your own risk, and we encourage you to review their terms and privacy policies.
9. Disclaimer of Warranties
The Site and its content are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied — including, without limitation, warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, or non-infringement. We do not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or free of harmful components.
10. Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, ClickyBoard and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages — including lost profits, data loss, hardware damage, or purchase decisions — arising out of or relating to your use of the Site, its content, or any linked third-party website or product, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain limitations of liability, so some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
11. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless ClickyBoard and its operators from any claims, damages, liabilities, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of your violation of these Terms or your misuse of the Site.
12. Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Site at any time without notice. We may also update these Terms from time to time; the “Last updated” date at the top of this page reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
13. Governing Law & Severability
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of [Jurisdiction — to be completed], without regard to its conflict-of-law provisions. Any disputes arising under these Terms shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located in [Jurisdiction — to be completed].
If any provision of these Terms is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
