Terms of Service
This page explains the responsibilities you agree to when using VapeVS and how we protect the data, assets, and community that power the platform.
Eligibility and Responsible Use
You must be of legal age to purchase or consume nicotine products in your jurisdiction. In many regions that minimum age is 21. By using the Services you confirm that you meet all applicable legal requirements and that you will not provide access to anyone who does not.
Accounts and Security
- You may browse most public resources without creating an account.
- Administrative tools and contribution workflows require a registered account with accurate information.
- You are responsible for activity that occurs under your credentials and for safeguarding your password.
- Notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorised use. VapeVS is not liable for losses stemming from misuse.
Services and Content
VapeVS curates device specifications, comparisons, scores, and editorial guides. Content is provided for research, educational, and entertainment purposes. We do not sell nicotine products, offer medical advice, or guarantee that any device is suitable for your needs.
Product imagery, availability, prices, and specifications are provided by third-party manufacturers, retailers, or community contributors and may change without notice.
Information Accuracy
We work to verify every data point, but the Services are offered "as is" and "as available". VapeVS does not warrant that content is complete, error-free, or up to date. Always confirm critical details with the manufacturer or reseller before making purchasing or usage decisions.
User Contributions
- When you submit data, reviews, images, or other materials you grant VapeVS a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to host, store, reproduce, modify, and display the content as needed to operate the Services.
- You must have the right to share any material you submit and it must not infringe third-party rights.
- We reserve the right to moderate, edit, or remove submissions at our discretion.
Compare Tools and Shortlists
The compare workspace, shortlist functionality, and generated share images are designed to simplify evaluations. You are solely responsible for how you share or present comparison outputs. Do not mislead audiences, repurpose compare imagery for advertising without proper approvals, or store sensitive data within notes fields.
Prohibited Conduct
While using the Services you agree not to:
- Violate any applicable law, regulation, or industry guideline.
- Scrape, copy, or harvest data at a scale that degrades platform stability.
- Upload malicious code, automate abusive traffic, or attempt to bypass security controls.
- Misrepresent affiliation with VapeVS or imply endorsement without written approval.
- Publish content that is defamatory, discriminatory, or otherwise unlawful.
Intellectual Property
VapeVS owns all rights, title, and interest in the Services, including trademarks, logos, interface elements, and proprietary datasets. You may not modify, translate, reverse engineer, or create derivative works without prior permission except where expressly allowed by law.
Third-Party Links and Integrations
The Services may reference external sites, tools, or merchants. VapeVS does not control and is not responsible for the content, policies, or practices of third parties. Access linked resources at your own risk.
Disclaimers
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VAPEVS DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE.
Limitation of Liability
VapeVS, its affiliates, partners, and contributors will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for lost profits, revenue, data, or goodwill. Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to the Services is limited to the greater of one hundred (100) USD or the amount you paid (if any) in the twelve months preceding the event.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold VapeVS, its officers, employees, and partners harmless from any claim, demand, loss, or damage arising from your breach of these Terms, your use of the Services, or your violation of any law or third-party right.
Suspension and Termination
We may suspend or terminate access to the Services at any time, with or without notice, for any conduct that we believe violates these Terms or harms the community. You may stop using the Services at any time. Sections that by their nature should survive will remain in effect after termination.
Changes to These Terms
We may update these Terms to reflect changes in our Services, legal requirements, or best practices. If updates are material we will provide reasonable notice via the site or email. Your continued use after the effective date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
