Terms of Use

Last updated: 25 July 2026

These terms govern your use of The Home Gear Lab (the "Site"), operated by Douglas Marques, a sole trader. By using the Site you agree to these terms.

1. What this Site is

The Home Gear Lab publishes information, opinions and guides about home products. The Site is for general information only. It is not professional advice, and you should carry out your own checks before buying any product.

2. Affiliate disclosure

Some links on this Site are affiliate links. If you click one and buy from the merchant, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. This never changes the price you pay. Product purchases, payment, delivery, warranties and returns are handled entirely by the third-party merchant under their own terms — not by us.

3. Third-party sites and products

We do not sell products directly and are not the manufacturer or seller. We are not responsible for the content, availability, claims, pricing, or fulfilment of any third-party website or product. Any dealings you have with a merchant are strictly between you and that merchant.

4. Accuracy

We aim to keep information accurate and up to date, but we make no guarantee that content is complete, current or error-free. Prices, offers and specifications shown on merchant sites can change at any time.

5. Intellectual property

The Site's brand, text, layout and graphics are owned by us or used with permission and may not be copied or reused without consent.

6. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your use of the Site or from any product bought through a third-party merchant. Nothing in these terms excludes liability that cannot be excluded under UK law.

7. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of England and Wales, and the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

8. Contact

Questions about these terms: contact@thehomegearlab.com.

Note: the affiliate disclosure (section 2) also satisfies the ASA/CAP expectation that commercial relationships are made clear — keep it visible.
