These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of segenza.com and any related properties (collectively, the "Site") operated under the name segenza.com ("segenza.com," "we," "us," or "our"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

1. The Site

segenza.com is an editorial publication that recommends consumer products. The Site publishes articles, lists, and other written content. The Site is provided for personal, non-commercial use. You may read, share, and link to our content freely. You may not republish, scrape, or mirror our content without our written permission.

2. Editorial integrity

Every product featured on segenza.com has been chosen by our editors on merit. We do not accept payment for inclusion on any list. We do not publish sponsored content, advertorials, or paid placements. Where we earn affiliate commissions on purchases, we disclose this plainly (see section 6 below).

Our recommendations reflect our editors' opinions at the time of publication. Product prices, availability, and specifications change frequently; we update our content where we can, but we cannot guarantee that any item described on the Site remains available or accurate at the time you click through to a retailer.

3. Intellectual property

All content on the Site, including text, photography, illustration, layout, code, and the segenza.com name and marks, is owned by segenza.com or its licensors and is protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws. You may not copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or create derivative works from any portion of the Site without our prior written consent, except that you may:

• view and read content for your personal, non-commercial use;
• share links to our articles on social media and in private correspondence;

Product names, brand names, and product photography belong to their respective owners and are used here for editorial and identification purposes.

5. Third-party links and retailers

The Site contains links to third-party websites, including Amazon and other retailers. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, policies, or practices of any third-party site. Once you leave segenza.com, you are subject to the terms and privacy practices of the destination site. We encourage you to read those policies before transacting.

6. Affiliate disclosure

segenza.com is a participant in the Amazon Services LLC Associates Program, an affiliate advertising program designed to provide a means for sites to earn fees by linking to Amazon.com and affiliated sites. We may also participate in affiliate programs with other retailers. When you click an affiliate link on segenza.com and make a qualifying purchase, we earn a small commission at no additional cost to you.

Affiliate commissions do not influence what we recommend. Our editorial process is independent of any commercial arrangement with the retailers we link to.
