These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the website computercompatibility.com (the “Site”), operated by Computer Compatibility (“we”, “us”, “our”). By accessing or using this Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms in full. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must stop using the Site immediately.
1. Acceptance of Terms
By accessing this Site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and our Disclaimer. These documents together form the complete agreement between you and Computer Compatibility regarding your use of this Site.
If you are using this Site on behalf of an organisation, you represent that you have authority to bind that organisation to these Terms.
2. Nature of Content — Information Only, Not Professional Advice
This Site provides computer hardware compatibility information, specifications, upgrade guides, and related content for informational purposes only. Our content does not constitute professional, technical, engineering, or legal advice.
We compile compatibility data from publicly available manufacturer specifications, product listings, and independent research. This data has not been verified or endorsed by any manufacturer. You should always verify compatibility information with the relevant manufacturer before making purchasing or installation decisions.
We are not a computer manufacturer, authorised dealer, certified technician, or licensed professional of any kind. We are an independent informational resource. Our content should be used as a starting point for your own research, not as a sole basis for hardware purchasing or installation decisions.
3. Important Warnings and Assumption of Risk
You acknowledge and agree that:
Compatibility data may be inaccurate: Despite our best efforts, our compatibility information may contain errors, omissions, or outdated data. Manufacturers change specifications, revise product lines, and update compatibility requirements regularly — often without public notice.
Hardware installation carries risk: Installing or replacing computer components (such as RAM, storage drives, processors, graphics cards, or peripherals) can result in hardware damage, data loss, system instability, or voiding of manufacturer warranties if done incorrectly or with incompatible parts. You should always back up your data before making any hardware changes and follow proper anti-static precautions.
You assume all risk: You expressly assume all risk arising from your use of, or reliance on, any information on this Site. You acknowledge that you are solely responsible for verifying compatibility information with the manufacturer, backing up your data, following proper installation procedures, and making your own informed decisions about hardware purchases and installations.
4. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable UK and US law, Computer Compatibility, its owner(s), employees, contributors, and affiliates shall not be liable for any loss, damage, or expense arising from or in connection with:
Your use of, or reliance on, any information published on this Site. Any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions in the content on this Site. Any incompatibility between computers, components, peripherals, or accessories, whether or not described on this Site. Any hardware damage, data loss, or system instability. Any decision you make based on information found on this Site. Any interruption to, or unavailability of, the Site.
This exclusion of liability applies to all types of loss and damage, including but not limited to:
Direct loss, indirect loss, consequential loss, incidental loss, special or punitive damages, loss of profit, loss of revenue, loss of data, property damage, and any other losses, however arising and whether caused by tort (including negligence), breach of contract, or otherwise, even if foreseeable.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits our liability for: death or personal injury caused by our proven negligence, fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under English law.
If you are a consumer: nothing in these Terms affects your statutory rights. We are responsible for loss or damage you suffer that is a foreseeable result of our breaking these Terms or of our failing to use reasonable care and skill, but we are not responsible for loss or damage that is not foreseeable. We do not exclude or limit our liability for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for anything else that cannot lawfully be excluded or limited.
If you use this Site in the course of a business: our total aggregate liability to you for all claims connected with the Site is limited to one hundred pounds (£100).
5. Indemnification
If you use this Site in the course of a business, you agree to indemnify us against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses and reasonable costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your breach of these Terms or your unlawful use of the Site. This section does not apply to you if you are a consumer.
6. Affiliate Links and Product Recommendations
Affiliate disclosure: This Site contains affiliate links to Amazon.co.uk and other retailers. When you click on an affiliate link and make a purchase, we may earn a commission at no additional cost to you. We are a participant in the Amazon Associates Programme, an affiliate advertising programme designed to provide a means for us to earn advertising fees by linking to Amazon.co.uk and affiliated sites.
FTC compliance (United States): In accordance with the Federal Trade Commission’s Guides Concerning the Use of Endorsements and Testimonials in Advertising (16 CFR Part 255), we disclose that we receive compensation through affiliate commissions when you purchase products through links on this Site. This material connection between us and the retailers we link to may influence which products appear on the Site, though our compatibility data is based on manufacturer specifications and independent research.
Our affiliate relationships do not influence our compatibility data. Compatibility information is based on manufacturer specifications and independent research, not commercial relationships. However, you should be aware that we have a financial incentive when you purchase products through our links.
We do not control the pricing, availability, or quality of products sold by third-party retailers. Any purchases you make through affiliate links are subject to the retailer’s own terms and conditions. We are not a party to any transaction between you and any third-party retailer.
