  • We make no representation or warranty regarding the real-world identity or background of any named author, unless explicitly stated.

4.3 No professional advice.
Content on the Site is provided for general informational and educational purposes only. It does not constitute:

  • financial advice,
  • legal advice,
  • tax advice,
  • investment advice, or
  • any other form of professional advice.

You should not rely on any information on the Site as a substitute for professional advice tailored to your circumstances. You are solely responsible for your decisions and for consulting appropriate professionals as needed.

We aim to keep information accurate and up-to-date, but gift card terms, fees, expiration policies, promotions, merchant acceptance, and other relevant details change frequently. We do not guarantee that any information on the Site is accurate, complete, or current at any particular time. It is your responsibility to review the applicable terms and conditions of any gift card issuer, retailer, or merchant before purchasing or using a gift card.

At this time, the Site does not permit users to publish public content, such as:

  • comments,
  • user reviews or ratings,
  • forums, community posts, or Q&A submissions.

If we later enable any such features, we may introduce additional terms governing user-generated content, and by using such features at that time you would be deemed to accept those additional terms.

7.1 Our intellectual property.
Except for content that is owned by third parties (including logos, trademarks, and certain images or content used under license or permitted use), all content on the Site— including text, design, layout, graphics, code, interfaces, visual interfaces, and the arrangement of these elements—is owned by or licensed to Earn and Trade LLC and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other intellectual property and proprietary rights laws.

The Site features third-party trademarks, logos, brand names, trade dress, product images, and other proprietary content (collectively, “Third-Party Marks”). These may include, without limitation, the names, logos, or other branding of gift card issuers, retailers, payment networks, and other companies.

  • All Third-Party Marks appearing on the Site are the property of their respective owners.
  • Our use of Third-Party Marks is for identification, commentary, comparison, and review purposes only, and we believe such use constitutes nominative fair use and/or otherwise permitted use under applicable law.
  • The appearance of any Third-Party Mark or reference to any third-party product, service, or company does not imply any sponsorship, endorsement, affiliation, partnership, or approval by that third party, unless expressly stated in writing.

In addition to affiliate links, we may accept sponsored content, paid placements, or other forms of compensation from brands or partners in connection with:

  • specific articles, lists, or reviews;

9. Third-Party Sites, Gift Card Issuers & Merchants

9.1 Third-party websites and platforms.
The Site may link to or integrate with third-party websites, apps, platforms, or services (collectively, “Third-Party Sites”). These Third-Party Sites are not controlled by us, and we are not responsible or liable for:

  • the content, policies, terms, or practices of any Third-Party Sites;
  • any products or services provided on or through Third-Party Sites; or
  • any transactions you conduct with such third parties.

Your use of any Third-Party Sites is subject to their own terms and privacy policies, which you should review carefully.

9.2 Gift card issuers and terms.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, Earn and Trade LLC is not the issuer of the gift cards referenced on the Site.

13. Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW:

  • INCIDENTAL,
  • CONSEQUENTIAL,
  • SPECIAL,

13.3 Basis of the bargain.
THE LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND US.

15. Governing Law

These Terms and your use of the Site will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law principles.

To the extent any dispute is brought in court rather than resolved informally, you agree that such dispute may be brought in a court of competent jurisdiction located in the State of California, and you consent to the jurisdiction of such courts. Nothing in this Section limits any rights or remedies that cannot be limited under applicable law.

(You asked to omit choosing a specific “method” or forum like mandatory arbitration; accordingly, no separate arbitration or class-action waiver clause is included.)
