Terms of Service

Welcome to BestFragrancePrices. These Terms of Service ("Terms") are a binding agreement between you and the individual who owns and operates the website at bestfragranceprices.com (the "Site," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms and by our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Site.

1. Description of Service

BestFragrancePrices is a price comparison website that aggregates and displays fragrance prices from various online retailers. We provide:

• Price information from multiple fragrance retailers
• Historical price tracking and charts

• Product information and images
• User accounts with optional features (favorites, price alerts, reviews, profile customization)
• Price alerts by email and browser notification
• Weekly newsletter featuring best deals and new fragrances
• Community reviews and ratings system
• Educational guides and curated fragrance collections

We do not sell fragrances directly. All purchases are made through third-party retailers, and we are not responsible for the fulfillment, shipping, or quality of products.

2. Eligibility

The Site is intended for users who are at least 13 years old. By using the Site, you represent and warrant that:

• You are at least 13 years of age;
• If you are between 13 and the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you are using the Site with the involvement and consent of a parent or legal guardian;
• If you are entering into these Terms (for example, by creating an account), you have the legal capacity to form a binding contract; and
• You are not barred from using the Site under the laws of the United States or any other applicable jurisdiction.

Consistent with our Privacy Policy, we do not knowingly permit children under 13 to create accounts or provide personal information.

3. Price, Product, and Link Accuracy Disclaimer

Important: Prices, product details, and retailer links displayed on our website are collected from or matched to third-party retailer listings and may not always be current, complete, or accurate. Retailers may change their listings or redirect product pages without notice. A link may occasionally lead to a different product, concentration, format, size, or variant than the fragrance described on our Site.

• Prices are typically updated hourly
• There may be a delay between price changes on retailer sites and updates on our site
• Before purchasing, verify the exact product name, concentration, format, bottle size, quantity, seller, condition, price, shipping charges, and return policy on the retailer's website
• If information on our Site differs from the retailer's product page or checkout, the retailer's information controls your purchase
• To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for losses arising from pricing errors or from inaccurate, mismatched, outdated, or redirected retailer links

4. No Warranties

OUR WEBSITE AND ALL INFORMATION, CONTENT, AND SERVICES PROVIDED THROUGH IT ARE OFFERED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED.

• The availability of products at listed prices
• The quality of products sold by third-party retailers

5. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL THE OPERATOR OF BESTFRAGRANCEPRICES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO:

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law, including liability for fraud, personal injury caused by negligence, or gross negligence or willful misconduct.

6. Indemnification

Your continued use of the website after changes are posted constitutes acceptance of the modified Terms. If you do not agree to the changes, you must stop using the Site.

18. Termination

Provisions that by their nature should survive termination (including intellectual property, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution) will survive.

19. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to them or your use of the Site are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles, and by applicable United States federal law. This choice of law does not deprive you of the protection of any mandatory consumer-protection laws of the country or state in which you reside.

20. Dispute Resolution

Informal resolution first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact us at contact@bestfragranceprices.com so we can try to resolve it informally. You agree to give us at least thirty (30) days to resolve the matter before starting a formal proceeding.

Courts. If we cannot resolve a dispute informally, you and we agree that it will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. Nothing in this section prevents either party from seeking relief in a small-claims court for disputes within that court's jurisdiction.

Individual basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree that disputes will be resolved on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or representative proceeding.

Time limit. To the extent permitted by law, any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site must be filed within one (1) year after it arises, or it is permanently barred.

21. General Provisions

• Entire Agreement: These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and us regarding the Site and supersede any prior agreements.
• Severability: If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect.
• No Waiver: Our failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of our right to do so later.
• Assignment: You may not assign or transfer these Terms without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, or by operation of law.
• Force Majeure: We are not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond our reasonable control.
• Notices and Electronic Communications: You consent to receive communications from us electronically, and you agree that electronic notices satisfy any legal requirement that such communications be in writing. We may provide notices to you by email or by posting to the Site.
