Terms of Service

Acceptance of Terms

By accessing or using GearVote ("the Site"), you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

Use of the Site

You may use GearVote for personal, non-commercial purposes. You agree not to:

• Submit false, misleading, or spam content
• Attempt to manipulate vote counts
• Use automated tools, bots, or scrapers to extract vote data, rankings, or any aggregated content from the Site
• Reproduce or redistribute GearVote rankings or recommendation data for commercial purposes
• Use the Site in any way that violates applicable laws

User-Submitted Content

When you submit gear or vote on the Site, you grant GearVote a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to display that content. You are responsible for ensuring you have the right to submit any content you provide.

GearVote reserves the right to remove any submitted content at its discretion.

Affiliate Disclosure

GearVote participates in the Amazon Associates program and other affiliate programs. Links to products may be affiliate links, meaning we may earn a commission if you make a purchase — at no additional cost to you. This does not influence our rankings or recommendations, which are based solely on community votes.

Intellectual Property

All content, design, and code on GearVote — including the name, logo, and site structure — are the property of GearVote and may not be reproduced or used without written permission.

GearVote's vote data, gear rankings, aggregated voting results, and recommendation outputs are proprietary compilations owned exclusively by GearVote. These materials represent significant investment in collection, curation, and presentation and are protected as proprietary databases under applicable law. Unauthorized scraping, copying, republishing, or commercial use of this data — in whole or in part — constitutes misappropriation and may result in legal action.

Disclaimer of Warranties

GearVote is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We do not guarantee the accuracy of gear information, weather data, or community-submitted content. Gear recommendations are community-driven and should not replace professional advice.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, GearVote shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from your use of the Site.

Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms at any time. Continued use of the Site after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
