Terms of use

These terms cover the use of programcritique.com. Using the site means accepting them. They are deliberately short.

What the site is

Program Critique publishes reviews, explainers and opinion about consumer technology, plus a calculator that does arithmetic you supply the numbers for. Everything here is general information and editorial judgement. It is not professional advice about your specific device, your specific purchase or your specific circumstances, and nothing on the site creates a client relationship of any kind.

No warranty

We take care to be accurate, but the site is provided as it is. Prices, specifications, model availability and support windows change constantly, and an article is a snapshot of the day it was written. We do not warrant that anything here is current, complete or fit for a particular purpose, and we are not liable for a decision you make after reading it. Check anything that matters against the manufacturer’s own current information before you spend money.

The repair-or-replace tool

The tool runs entirely in your browser and returns a comparison based on the figures you type and a typical service life for the category. It is a rule of thumb, not an appraisal of your device, and it cannot know its condition, its history or what the same fault will do next. Treat the result as one input into your decision.

Copyright

The text and original graphics on this site belong to Program Critique. You may quote a reasonable extract with a link back. Republishing whole articles, or reproducing them without attribution, is not permitted. Trademarks, product names and product images belong to their respective owners and appear here for identification and comment.

Links to other sites

Articles and pages here may link to, or carry advertising for, sites we do not run. We are not responsible for their content, their products or their privacy practices, and a link is not an endorsement.

Changes

These terms may be updated; the version on this page is the one that applies. If you disagree with them, the remedy is to stop using the site.
